The intermediate unsecured debt outstanding at September 30, 2013 matures August 15, 2014 and carries an interest rate of 6.56 percent, which is paid semi-annually. The terms require that we maintain a ratio of debt to total capitalization of less than 55 percent. The debt is held by various entities.

We have $120 million senior unsecured fixed-rate notes outstanding at September 30, 2013 that mature over a period from July 2014 to July 2016. Interest on the notes is paid semi-annually based on an annual rate of 6.10 percent. Annual principal repayments of $40 million are due July 2014 through July 2016. We have complied with our financial covenants which require us to maintain a funded leverage ratio of less than 55 percent and an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of not less than 2.50 to 1.00.

We have a $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility that will mature May 25, 2017. The credit facility has $100 million available to use for letters of credit. We anticipate that the majority of any borrowings under the facility will accrue interest at a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). We will also pay a commitment fee based on the unused balance of the facility. Borrowing spreads as well as commitment fees are determined according to a scale based on a ratio of our total debt to total capitalization. The spread over LIBOR ranges from 1.125 percent to 1.75 percent per annum and commitment fees range from .15 percent to .35 percent per annum. Based on our debt to total capitalization on September 30, 2013, the spread over LIBOR and commitment fees would be 1.125 percent and .15 percent, respectively. Financial covenants in the facility require us to maintain a funded leverage ratio (as defined) of less than 50 percent and an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00. The credit facility contains additional terms, conditions, restrictions, and covenants that we believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies of similar size and credit quality. As of September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings, but there were two letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $27.2 million. The two outstanding letters of credit replaced two collateral trusts that were terminated during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Upon termination, an amount totaling $26.1 million was returned to us. At September 30, 2013, we had $272.8 million available to borrow under our $300 million unsecured credit facility. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we issued a third letter of credit against the credit facility in the amount of $3.5 million, which reduced the amount available to borrow to $269.3 million.

At September 30, 2013, we had two letters of credit outstanding, totaling $12 million that were issued to support international operations. These letters of credit were issued separately from the $300 million credit facility so they do not reduce the available borrowing capacity discussed in the previous paragraph.

The applicable agreements for all unsecured debt described in this Note 3 contain additional terms, conditions and restrictions that we believe are usual and customary in unsecured debt arrangements for companies that are similar in size and credit quality. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

At September 30, 2013, aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):
