DEBT ACTIVITY
On March 10, 2017, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment reduced the revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") available under the Company’s existing credit amendment from $1.05 billion to $850.0 million. The Second Amendment also removed the incremental term loan that was available under the credit agreement, extended the maturity date of the credit agreement to May 17, 2019 and removed the Company’s ability to make offers to the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Term Loan or the Revolving Credit Facility. The Second Amendment also amended the repayment schedule for the Term Loan and requires the Company to make monthly payments on the last business day of each month beginning April 30, 2018. On and after April 1, 2018, interest on the Term Loan that is based upon the base rate will be due and payable in arrears on the last business day of each calendar month, and interest on the Term Loan that is based upon the LIBOR rate will be due and payable on the last day of the applicable interest period; provided, that if such interest period extends for over one month, then interest will be due and payable at the end of each one month interval during such interest period. The Second Amendment also amended the mandatory prepayment provisions under the credit agreement and provides that to the extent there are excess proceeds remaining from the issuance of debt by the Company following the repayment in full of the Term Loan, the Company will be required to repay the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of such excess proceeds, with a corresponding permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of up to $50.0 million. In accordance with the Second Amendment, dividends paid from foreign subsidiaries to U.S. subsidiaries or Fossil Group, Inc., must first be used to repay the Term Loan and then up to $50.0 million of the Revolver.
The Second Amendment amended the applicable margin used to calculate the interest rate that is applicable to base rate loans and LIBOR rate loans under the Company’s credit agreement and provides that the interest rate margin for base rate loans is 2.50% per annum and the interest rate margin for LIBOR rate loans is 3.50% per annum. If the Term Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to October 1, 2017, then on such date, the applicable margin will automatically increase to 2.75% per annum for base rate loans and 3.75% per annum for LIBOR rate loans; if the Term Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to March 31, 2018, then on such date, the applicable margin will automatically increase to 3.25% per annum for base rate loans and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR rate loans. The Second Amendment also changed the commitment fee payable by the Company with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility to 0.50% per annum. The Company will incur an additional fee of 0.25% times the outstanding principal amount of the total credit exposure under the credit agreement if the Term Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to March 31, 2018. Furthermore, the Second Amendment changed the consolidated total leverage ratio that the Company must comply with from 3.25 to 1.00 to the ratios as set forth below:

The Company made principal payments of $6.3 million and $12.5 million under the Term Loan during the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively. The Company also made net borrowings of $35.7 million and $26.7 million under the Revolving Credit Facility during the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively.

Amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility are reduced by any amounts outstanding under standby letters of credit. As of July 1, 2017, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $79.1 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company receives short-term loans from certain of its foreign subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter which are used to reduce its external borrowings.

The Company incurred approximately $2.3 million and $4.1 million of interest expense related to the Term Loan during the Second Quarter and Year To Date Period, respectively, including the impact of the related interest rate swap.
