Revolving Credit Facility.  During July 2015, CoreCivic entered into an amended and restated $900.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "$900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility").  The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility has an aggregate principal capacity of $900.0 million and a maturity of July 2020.  The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility also has an "accordion" feature that provides for uncommitted incremental extensions of credit in the form of increases in the revolving commitments or incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount up to an additional $350.0 million as requested by CoreCivic, subject to bank approval. At CoreCivic's option, interest on outstanding borrowings under the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is based on either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% or at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% based on CoreCivic's then-current leverage ratio.  The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility includes a $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans that enables CoreCivic to borrow at the base rate from the Administrative Agent without advance notice.

Based on CoreCivic's current total leverage ratio, loans under the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the base rate plus a margin of 0.50% or at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%, and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the unfunded balance.  The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility also has a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2018, CoreCivic had $198.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility as well as $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding resulting in $694.4 million available under the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.  

The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the capital stock of CoreCivic's domestic subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of CoreCivic's foreign subsidiaries, all of CoreCivic's accounts receivable, and all of CoreCivic's deposit accounts. The $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility requires CoreCivic to meet certain financial covenants, including, without limitation, a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  As of March 31, 2018, CoreCivic was in compliance with all such covenants.  In addition, the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and other customary restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, asset sales, mergers and consolidations, liquidations, prepayments and modifications of other indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.  In addition, the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain cross-default provisions with terms of CoreCivic's other indebtedness, and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of a change of control.

On October 6, 2015, CoreCivic obtained a $100.0 million Incremental Term Loan ("Term Loan") under the "accordion" feature of the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.  Interest rates under the Term Loan are the same as the interest rates under the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.  The Term Loan also has the same collateral requirements, financial and certain other covenants, and cross-default provisions as the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.  The Term Loan, which is pre-payable, also has a maturity concurrent with the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility due July 2020, with scheduled quarterly principal payments through 2020.  As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $82.5 million.  

On April 17, 2018, CoreCivic entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), as further described in Note 12.

Senior Notes.  Interest on the $325.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.125% senior notes issued in April 2013 (the "4.125% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year.  The 4.125% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on April 1, 2020.  Interest on the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.625% senior notes issued in April 2013 (the "4.625% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in May and November of each year.  The 4.625% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on May 1, 2023.  Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 5.0% senior notes issued in September 2015 (the "5.0% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year.  The 5.0% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2022.  Interest on the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of CoreCivic's 4.75% senior notes issued in October 2017 (the "4.75% Senior Notes") accrues at the stated rate and is payable in April and October of each year.  The 4.75% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on October 15, 2027.

The 4.125% Senior Notes, the 4.625% Senior Notes, the 5.0% Senior Notes, and the 4.75% Senior Notes, collectively referred to herein as the "Senior Notes", are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility.  CoreCivic may redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time prior to three months before their respective maturity date at a "make-whole" redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.  Thereafter, the Senior Notes are redeemable at CoreCivic's option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.  

Non-Recourse Mortgage Note.  As previously discussed herein, on January 19, 2018, CoreCivic acquired the 261,000 square-foot Capital Commerce Center, located in Tallahassee, Florida for a purchase price of $44.7 million.  The acquisition was partially financed with a $24.5 million non-recourse mortgage note, which is fully-secured by the Capital Commerce Center property, with an interest rate of 4.5%, maturing in January 2033.  Principal and interest on the mortgage note are payable in equal monthly payments over the 15-year term of the note. The note is pre-payable at any time with a prepayment charge, if any, equal to an amount so as to maintain the same yield on the mortgage note as if it had been carried through to its full term using Treasury instruments having a term equal to the remaining term of the mortgage note as of the prepayment date.  As of March 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the mortgage note was $24.3 million.

CoreCivic may also seek to issue additional debt or equity securities from time to time when the Company determines that market conditions and the opportunity to utilize the proceeds from the issuance of such securities are favorable.

Debt Maturities.  Scheduled principal payments as of March 31, 2018 (prior to the amendment and restatement of the $900.0 Million Revolving Credit Facility, as further described in Note 12) for the remainder of 2018, the next four years, and thereafter were as follows (in thousands):
