In conjunction with the issuance of the April 2025 Notes we entered into 8-year fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps which have the effect of economically converting the April 2025 Notes to euro-denominated debt at a fixed rate of 3.850%. In conjunction with the issuance of the June 2026 Notes we entered into 10-year fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps which have the effect of economically converting the June 2026 Notes to euro-denominated debt at a fixed rate of 5.140%. See Note 15 for additional information.

Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually and interest on the Term Facility is payable quarterly. Other indebtedness includes borrowings from various financial institutions, financing lease obligations and the unamortized fair value adjustment related to a terminated interest rate swap. See Note 15 for additional information on the terminated interest rate swap.

Credit agreement — On February 28, 2019, we entered into an amended credit and guaranty agreement comprised of a $500 term facility (the Term A Facility), a $450 term facility (the Term B Facility and, together with the Term A Facility, the Term Facilities) and a $750 revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility). The Term A Facility is an expansion of our existing $275 term facility. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility mature on August 17, 2022. The Term B Facility matures on February 28, 2026. On February 28, 2019, we drew the $225 available under the Term A Facility and the $450 available under the Term B Facility. Financing costs of $12 were recorded as deferred cost and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the applicable term facilities. We are required to make equal quarterly installments on the Term A Facility on the last day of each fiscal quarter of $8 beginning March 31, 2019 and 0.25% of the aggregate principal advances of the Term B Facility quarterly commencing on June 30 2019. We may prepay some or all of the amounts under the term facilities without penalty. The proceeds from the term facilities were used to acquire the Oerlikon Drive Systems segment of the Oerlikon Group and pay for related integration activities. The Revolving Facility amended our previous revolving credit facility. In connection with this amendment, we paid $1 in deferred financing costs to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the facility. Deferred financing costs on our Revolving Facility are included in other noncurrent assets.

The Term Facilities and the Revolving Facility are guaranteed by all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries subject to certain exceptions (the guarantors) and are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Dana and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

Advances under the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate based on, at our option, the base rate or Eurodollar rate (each as described in the credit agreement) plus a margin as set forth below:

The Term B Facility bears interest based on, at our option, the Base Rate plus 1.25% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.25%. We have elected to pay interest on our advances under the Term Facilities at the Eurodollar Rate. The interest rate on the Term A Facility was 4.249% and the Term B Facility was 4.749%, inclusive of the applicable margins, as of March 31, 2019.

Commitment fees are applied based on the average daily unused portion of the available amounts under the Revolving Facility as set forth below:

Up to $275 of the Revolving Facility may be applied to letters of credit, which reduces availability. We pay a fee for issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount per annum equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate advances based on a quarterly average availability under issued and undrawn letters of credit under the Revolving Facility and a per annum fronting fee of 0.125%, payable quarterly.

As of March 31, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility but we had utilized $21 for letters of credit. We had availability at March 31, 2019 under the Revolving Facility of $729 after deducting the outstanding letters of credit.

Debt covenants — At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants of our financing agreements. Under the Term Facilities, Revolving Facility and the senior notes, we are required to comply with certain incurrence-based covenants customary for facilities of these types and, in the case of the Term A Facility and Revolving Facility, a maintenance covenant tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter requiring us to maintain a first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.00 to 1.00.
