Secured Senior Term Loans.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had two series of secured senior term loans ("Term Loans") outstanding under Incremental Facility Amendment No. 2, dated October 8, 2021, to the Company's existing Credit Agreement, dated June 30, 2017 ("the Term Loan Agreement").
The 2028 Term Loans had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $990.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Under the Term Loan Agreement, the 2028 Term Loans bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either of the following rates: (a) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 2.00%, or (b) the sum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 1.00%, with the Eurodollar Rate being subject to a floor of 0.00% and the Base Rate being subject to a floor of 1.00%. The 2024 Term Loans had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $614.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Under the Term Loan Agreement, the 2024 Term Loans bore interest, at the Company’s election, at either of the following rates: (a) the sum of the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 1.75%, or (b) the sum of the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus 1.00%, with the Eurodollar Rate being subject to a floor of 0.00% and the Based Rate being subject to a floor of 1.00%. Interest on the Term Loans are paid monthly. The Term Loans are prepayable at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs with respect to Eurodollar based loans.
The Company’s obligations under the Term Loan Agreement with respect to both the 2024 Term Loans and the 2028 Term Loans are guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic restricted subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors.
On November 21, 2022, the Company repaid $100.0 million principal amount of the then outstanding 2024 Term Loans with available cash. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs for the settled debt. On January 24, 2023, the remaining $614.0 million principal amount of the 2024 Term Loans was repaid using net proceeds from the issuance of $500.0 million of unsecured senior notes due on February 1, 2031 as described below, a
$114.0 million loan under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and available cash. In connection with the repayment, the Company will recognize a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.4 million in 2023.
Unsecured Senior Notes.
On July 2, 2019, the Company completed a private placement of $545.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes. The 2027 Notes will mature on July 15, 2027, and the 2029 Notes will mature on July 15, 2029. Interest payments on the 2027 Notes and 2029 Notes are paid semiannually on January 15 and July 15.
On January 24, 2023, the Company completed a private placement of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes which mature on February 1, 2031 (the "2031 Notes" and, together with the 2027 and 2029 Notes, the "Notes"). The interest rate on the 2031 Notes is fixed at 6.375% and is paid semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year commencing on August 1, 2023.
The tables below depict the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on the dates below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of redemption.

The Company may also redeem all or any portion of the 2029 Notes prior to July 15, 2024 or the 2031 Notes prior to February 1, 2026, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus a make whole premium as of the date of redemption including accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including the date of redemption.

The Notes and the related indentures contain various customary non-financial covenants and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. The Notes are effectively subordinated to the Company's Term Loans, revolving credit facility and finance lease obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured indebtedness. The Notes are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Notes.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, was $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of its long-term debt, including the current portion, are based on quoted market prices or other available market data which are considered Level 2 measures according to the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotation, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency for similar assets and liabilities.
Revolving Credit Facility. On October 28, 2020, the Company and one of the Company's subsidiaries (the "Canadian Borrower") entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for the Company's revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as agent for the lenders under the facility (the "Agent"). Under the amended and restated facility, the Company has the right to obtain revolving loans and letters of credit for a combined maximum of up to $350.0 million (with a sub-limit of $250.0 million for letters of credit) and the Canadian Borrower has the right to obtain revolving loans and letters of credit for a combined maximum of up to $50.0 million. Availability under the U.S. line is subject to a borrowing base primarily comprised of 85% of the eligible accounts receivable of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries plus 100% of cash deposited in a controlled account with the Agent, and availability under the Canadian line is subject to a borrowing base primarily comprised of 85% of the eligible accounts receivable of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries plus 100% of cash deposited in a controlled account with the Agent’s Canadian affiliate. Subject to certain conditions, the revolving credit facility will expire on October 28, 2025. 
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 1.75% per annum based primarily on the level of the Company’s average liquidity for the most recent 30 day period or (ii) BofA’s base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum based primarily on such average liquidity. There is also an unused line fee, calculated on the then unused portion of the lenders’ $400.0 million maximum commitments, ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum of the unused commitment. For outstanding letters of credit, the Company pays to the lenders a fee equal to the then applicable LIBOR margin described above, and to the issuing banks a standard fronting fee and customary fees and charges in connection with all amendments, extensions, draws and other actions with respect to letters of credit. In the event that LIBOR ceases to be available during the term of the revolving credit facility, the amended and restated credit agreement provides procedures to determine a LIBOR successor rate.
Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility are utilized primarily as security for the Company's insurance program that includes casualty and financial assurance.     
The Company’s obligations under the revolving credit facility (including revolving loans and reimbursement obligations for outstanding letters of credit) are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and secured by a first lien on the Company’s and its U.S. subsidiaries’ accounts receivable. The Canadian Borrower’s obligations under the facility are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries and secured by a first lien on the accounts receivable of the Canadian subsidiaries.
The revolving credit facility had no outstanding loan balances at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and had availability of $288.6 million and outstanding letters of credit of $111.4 million at December 31, 2022. As noted above, on January 24, 2023, the Company borrowed $114.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Proceeds from this borrowing were used toward the repayment of the 2024 Term Loans.
Cash Flow Hedges
Although the interest rates on the Term Loans are variable, as of December 31, 2022, the Company effectively fixed the interest rate on $350.0 million principal of the outstanding 2024 Term Loans by entering into interest rate swap agreements in 2018 with a notional amount of $350.0 million ("2018 Swaps"). Under the terms of the 2018 Swaps' agreements, the Company receives interest based on the one-month LIBOR index and pays interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.92%, which together with the 1.75% interest rate margin for Eurocurrency borrowings on the 2024 Term Loans, results in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 4.67%. 
In January 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements ("2022 Swaps") with a notional amount of $600.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate on $600.0 million principal of the outstanding 2028 Term Loans. Under the terms of the 2022 Swaps' agreements, the Company will receive interest based upon the variable rates on the 2028 Term Loans and pay a fixed amount of interest. The fixed rate on these instruments is 0.931% through June 30, 2023 which, together with the 2.00% interest rate margin for Eurodollar borrowings on the 2028 Term Loans, results in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 2.931%. The fixed rate on these instruments increases to 1.9645% from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027 to both mirror the current 2028 Term Loans variable interest payments and the successor rate upon the eventual sunsetting of the LIBOR rate.
The Company has designated both the 2018 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps (collectively referred to as the “Swaps”) as cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2022 the Company recorded a derivative asset with a fair value of $60.6 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $17.4 million. No ineffectiveness has been recognized on the Swaps in 2022, 2021 or 2020.
On January 24, 2023, concurrently with the repayment of the 2024 Term Loans, the Company received a cash payment of $8.7 million from the counterparties to settle the 2018 Swaps. The Company also reclassified the amounts previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized an $8.7 million gain in interest expense.
