In October 2017, we amended and restated our $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility due August 2018. The amendment reduced the applicable margin and extended the termination date to October 2022. The applicable margin and facility fee vary with our debt rating and are currently 1.175% and 0.20%, respectively. In December 2017, we also amended and restated our $1.4 billion unsecured revolving credit facility due June 2020 to reduce pricing in line with the amended pricing of the $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. These amendments did not result in the extinguishment of debt. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, we have an aggregate revolving borrowing capacity of $2.6 billion.
In November 2017, we issued $300 million of 2.65% and $500 million of 3.70% unsecured senior notes due 2020 and 2028, respectively, at 99.977% and 99.623% of par, respectively. Amounts from the issuance of these notes were used for general corporate purposes, such as repayment and refinancing of debt.
In November 2017, we entered into a credit agreement which provides an unsecured term loan facility in an amount up to €80.0 million, or approximately $96.0 million based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2017, for the purchase of a ship we have on order designed for the Galapagos Islands. We may draw up to five times under the facility through the earlier of the delivery of the ship and June 30, 2019. As of December 31, 2017, we have drawn €11.9 million, or approximately $14.3 million based on the exchange rate at December 31, 2017, on this facility. The loan is due and payable at maturity in November 2024. Interest on the loan accrues at a floating rate based on EURIBOR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin varies with our debt rating and was 1.32% as of December 31, 2017. In addition, we are subject to a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the undrawn amount.
Except as described above, all of our unsecured ship financing term loans are guaranteed by the export credit agency in the respective country in which the ship is constructed. In consideration for these guarantees, depending on the financing arrangement, we pay to the applicable export credit agency (1) a fee of 1.01% per annum based on the outstanding loan balance semi-annually over the term of the loan (subject to adjustment based upon our credit ratings) or (2) an upfront fee of 2.35% to 2.37% of the maximum loan amount. We amortize the fees that are paid upfront over the life of the loan and those that are paid semi-annually over each respective payment period. We classify these fees within Amortization of debt issuance costs in our consolidated statements of cash flows and within Other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Under certain of our agreements, the contractual interest rate, facility fee and/or export credit agency fee vary with our debt rating.
The unsecured senior notes and senior debentures are not redeemable prior to maturity, except that certain series may be redeemed upon the payment of a make-whole premium.
