Credit facility — At October 1, 2017, our credit facility was comprised of (i) a $900.0 million revolving credit agreement and (ii) a $700.0 million term loan. The interest rate on the credit facility is based on the Company’s leverage ratio and can range from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% to 2.25% with a 0% floor on the LIBOR. Both the revolving credit agreement and the term loan have maturity dates of March 19, 2019. As part of the existing credit agreement, we may also request the issuance of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit, the outstanding amount of which reduces our net borrowing capacity under the agreement. As of October 1, 2017, our unused borrowing capacity was $371.6 million.
Collateral — The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by (i) first priority liens and security interests in the capital stock, partnership and membership interests owned by the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and any proceeds thereof, and (ii) the grant by the Company and the guarantors of first priority liens and security interests in substantially all of their tangible and intangible property, and all proceeds thereof, all of which are subject to certain restrictions set forth in the credit agreement. Additionally, there is a negative pledge on all tangible and intangible assets (including all real and personal property) with customary exceptions as reflected in the credit agreement.
Covenants — We are subject to a number of customary covenants under our credit facility, including limitations on additional borrowings, acquisitions, loans to franchisees, lease commitments, stock repurchases and dividend payments, and requirements to maintain certain financial ratios as defined in the credit agreement.
Future cash payments — Scheduled principal payments on our long-term debt outstanding at October 1, 2017 for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

We may make voluntary prepayments of the loans under the revolving credit agreement and term loan at any time without premium or penalty. Specific events such as asset sales, certain issuances of debt, and insurance and condemnation recoveries, may trigger a mandatory prepayment.
