In June 2019, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) which increased the revolving credit facility from $890.0 million to $1.0 billion. The Amended Credit Agreement incorporates an accordion feature that can expand the credit facility up to $1.3 billion, extends the maturity of the credit facility to June 2024 and provides for certain other amendments to covenants, interest rates and commitment fees. As of June 30, 2019, there was $397.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility. Any principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due at maturity. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, all obligations under the revolving credit facility are collateralized by the title and interest of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and to substantially all of its assets and properties.
In connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement in June 2019, the Company incurred and deferred an additional $2.9 million of debt issuance costs, and recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million relating to the Third Amendment. Unamortized debt issuance costs are included as a reduction to “Debt Obligations” in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to “Interest expense” on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of the Amended Credit Agreement.
In February 2019, the Company entered into a new $8.1 million loan with a financial institution with a maturity date of July 2022. Interest is payable at three-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.85% to 5.25% and principal and interest are paid quarterly.  The loan is secured by two engines.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019, and effective July 15, 2019, the Company’s note payable secured by a corporate aircraft was repriced at a fixed interest rate of 3.18%. The outstanding balance of the loan was $10.0 million at June 30, 2019 and will continue to mature in July 2024.

Virtually all of the above debt requires ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants, including debt/equity ratios, minimum tangible net worth and minimum interest coverage ratios, and other eligibility criteria including customer and geographic concentration restrictions. The Company also is required to comply with certain negative financial covenants such as prohibitions on liens, advances, change in business, sales of assets, dividends and stock repurchases. These covenants are tested either monthly or quarterly and the Company was in full compliance with all financial covenant requirements at June 30, 2019.
