On March 26, 2015, the Company and its subsidiary, Unifi Manufacturing, Inc., entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $200,000 senior secured credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The ABL Facility consists of a $100,000 revolving credit facility (the “ABL Revolver”) and a term loan that can be reset up to a maximum amount of $100,000, once per fiscal year, if certain conditions are met (the “ABL Term Loan”). Such a principal increase occurred during the quarter ended December 27, 2015, as described below under the subheading “—
Second Amendment.
” The ABL Facility has a maturity date of March 26, 2020.
 
The Amended Credit Agreement replaced a previous senior secured credit facility dated May 24, 2012 with a similar syndicate of lenders, which, after multiple amendments, would have matured on March 28, 2019 and consisted of a $100,000 revolving credit facility and a $90,000 term loan. As used herein, the terms “ABL Facility,” “ABL Revolver” and “ABL Term Loan” shall mean the senior secured credit facility, the revolving credit facility or the term loan, respectively, under the Amended Credit Agreement or the previous senior secured credit facility, as applicable.
 
ABL Facility
The ABL Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all owned property and assets (together with proceeds and products) of Unifi, Inc., Unifi Manufacturing, Inc. and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Loan Parties”). It is also secured by a first-priority security interest in all (or 65% in the case of certain first-tier controlled foreign corporations, as required by the lenders) of the stock of (or other ownership interests in) each of the Loan Parties (other than the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, together with all proceeds and products thereof.
 
If excess availability under the ABL Revolver falls below the defined Trigger Level, a financial covenant requiring the Loan Parties to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio on a monthly basis of at least 1.05 to 1.0 becomes effective. The Trigger Level as of June 26, 2016 was $23,781. In addition, the ABL Facility contains restrictions on particular payments and investments, including certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases. Subject to specific provisions, the ABL Term Loan may be prepaid at par, in whole or in part, at any time before the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion.
 
ABL Facility borrowings bear interest at the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, or the Base Rate plus an applicable margin of 0.50% to 1.00%, with interest currently being paid on a monthly basis. The applicable margin is based on (a) the excess availability under the ABL Revolver and (b) the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated by fiscal quarter. The Base Rate means the greater of (i) the prime lending rate as publicly announced from time to time by Wells Fargo, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%. The Company’s ability to borrow under the ABL Revolver is limited to a borrowing base equal to specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is subject to certain conditions and limitations. There is also a monthly unused line fee under the ABL Revolver of 0.25%.
 
As of June 26, 2016, the excess availability under the ABL Revolver was $68,612. At June 26, 2016, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.93 to 1.0 and the Company had $200 of standby letters of credit, none of which have been drawn upon.
 
Second Amendment
On November 19, 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment increased the percentage applied to real estate valuations, on a one-time basis, from 60% to 75%, for purposes of calculating the Term Loan collateral. Simultaneous to entering into the Second Amendment, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Term Note, thereby resetting the ABL Term Loan balance to $95,000. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the ABL Term Loan is subject to quarterly amortizing payments of $2,375.
 
Capital Lease Obligations
During fiscal 2016, the Company entered into capital leases with an aggregate present value of $4,154. Fixed interest rates for these capital leases range from 3.4% to 3.8%, with maturity dates in August 2020.
 
Construction Financing
In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party lender that provides for construction-period financing for certain build-to-suit assets. The Company will record project costs to construction in progress and the corresponding liability to construction financing (within long-term debt). The agreement provides for monthly, interest-only payments during the construction period, at a rate of 3.5%, and contains terms customary for a financing of this type.
 
The agreement provides for 60 monthly payments, which will commence at the earlier of the completion of the construction period or July 1, 2017, with an interest rate of 3.2%.
 
In connection with this construction financing arrangement, the Company has recorded (i) $210 of deferred financing fees and (ii) long-term debt of $6,629 (to reflect $790 of proceeds for construction financing and $5,839 for construction in progress paid by the third party lender).
 
Renewables’ Term Loan
In September 2015, Renewables entered into a secured debt financing arrangement consisting of a master loan agreement and corresponding term loan supplement, with unrelated parties, having a borrowing capacity of up to $4,000. In October 2015, Renewables borrowed $4,000. The agreements include representations and warranties made by Renewables, financial covenants, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are usual and customary for financings of this type. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25%, payable monthly in arrears. Principal payments of $111 per month begin in September 2019 and are payable through July 2022, followed by a final payment equal to the remaining unpaid principal balance in August 2022. In connection with this arrangement, a subsidiary of the Company is subject to joint and several liability in the event of recourse by the lenders.
 
Renewables’ Promissory Note
In September 2015, Renewables delivered a promissory note in the amount of $135, and cash, to an unrelated third party for the purchase of certain land, consisting of thirty-seven acres located in Seven Springs, North Carolina, valued at $191. Such promissory note bears fixed interest at 3.0%, with principal and interest payable annually over a five-year period.
 
Term Loan from Unconsolidated Affiliate
On August 30, 2012, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement under which it borrowed $1,250 from an unconsolidated affiliate, U.N.F. Industries Ltd. The entire principal balance was repaid in April 2016.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Entering into the Amended Credit Agreement in fiscal 2015 generated substantially different terms for the ABL Term Loan and resulted in the replacement of an existing lender. Accordingly, in fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,040 for the write-off of certain debt financing fees related to the previous credit agreement.
