Our credit facility providing availability up to $120 million at March 31, 2015 (the “Credit Facility”) consists of a $30 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $90 million revolving loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and matures on May 31, 2018.
 
We had $85 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2015. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and related transaction expenses and permitted stock buybacks.
 
The Term Loan principal amortizes in equal installments of 5% of the Term Loan during each year, however, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, as defined in the Credit Facility, no amortization payment is required. The Credit Facility is also subject to mandatory prepayment requirements, including but not limited to, certain sales of assets, certain insurance proceeds, certain debt issuances and certain sales of equity. Optional prepayments of the Credit Facility are permitted without any premium or penalty, other than certain costs and expenses. As of March 31, 2014, we have no required amortization payment.
 
Interest rates under the Credit Facility are payable, at our option, at alternatives equal to LIBOR (0.17800% at March 31, 2015 and 0.16925% at December 31, 2014) plus 1.25% to 2.25% or the base rate plus 0.25% to 1.25%. The spread over LIBOR and the base rate vary from time to time, depending upon our financial leverage. We also pay quarterly commitment fees of 0.25% to 0.35% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
We have pledged substantially all of our assets (excluding our FCC licenses and certain other assets) in support of the Credit Facility and each of our subsidiaries has guaranteed the Credit Facility and has pledged substantially all of their assets (excluding their FCC licenses and certain other assets) in support of the Credit Facility.
 
The Credit Facility contains a number of financial covenants (all of which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2015) which, among other things, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and impose certain limitations on us with respect to investments, additional indebtedness, dividends, distributions, guarantees, liens and encumbrances.
 
The loan agreement of approximately $1.1 million of secured debt of affiliate was amended in April, 2014 to extend the due date of the loan for three years to mature on May 1, 2017.
