The 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes were issued by IAC on November 15, 2013 and December 21, 2012, respectively. The 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, which are designated as guarantor subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries are the same for the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes. See Note 20 for guarantor and non-guarantor financial information.
The indenture governing the 2013 Senior Notes contains covenants that would limit our ability to pay dividends or to make distributions and repurchase or redeem our stock in the event a default has occurred or we not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. At December 31, 2015, there were no limitations pursuant thereto. There are additional covenants that limit the Company's ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the event we are not in compliance with the financial ratio set forth in the indenture, and (ii) incur liens, enter into agreements limiting our restricted subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of our assets. The indenture governing the 2012 Senior Notes was amended in connection with the Match Exchange Offer described below. This indenture amendment eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants contained therein.
On October 7, 2015, IAC's $300 million revolving credit facility (the "IAC Credit Facility") was amended and restated, and now expires October 7, 2020. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no outstanding borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is currently 35 basis points, and is based on the leverage ratio most recently reported. Borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case, plus an applicable margin, which is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on the Company's leverage ratio. The terms of the IAC Credit Facility require that the Company maintains a leverage ratio of not more than 3.25 to 1.0 and restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the same domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and are also secured by the stock of certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The 2013 Senior Notes and 2012 Senior Notes rank pari-passu with each other, and are subordinate to outstanding borrowings under the IAC Credit Facility.
On November 16, 2015, Match Group completed a private exchange offer to eligible holders to exchange any and all of the 2012 Senior Notes for up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of Match Group Senior Notes issued by Match Group ("Match Exchange Offer"). Match Group exchanged $445.3 million of 2012 Senior Notes for $445.2 million of Match Group Senior Notes pursuant to the Match Exchange Offer. Promptly following the closing of the Match Exchange Offer, Match Group and its subsidiaries were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries of IAC for purposes of the indentures governing the 2013 and 2012 Senior Notes and the IAC Credit Facility. Following the designation, neither Match Group nor any of its subsidiaries guaranteed any debt of IAC, or are subject to any of the covenants related to such debt.

The indenture governing the Match Group Senior Notes contains covenants that would limit Match Group's ability to pay dividends or to make distributions and repurchase or redeem Match Group stock in the event a default has occurred or Match Group is not in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0. At December 31, 2015, there were no limitations pursuant thereto. There are additional covenants that limit Match Group's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the event Match Group is not in compliance with the financial ratio set forth in the indenture, and (ii) incur liens, enter into agreements restricting Match Group subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or sell substantially all of their assets.

On October 7, 2015, Match Group entered into a credit agreement (the "Match Group Credit Agreement") which provides for a five-year $500 million revolving credit facility (the "Match Group Credit Facility"). At December 31, 2015, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Match Group Credit Facility. The annual commitment fee on undrawn funds is currently 35 basis points, and is based on the leverage ratio most recently reported. Borrowings under the Match Group Credit Facility bear interest, at Match Group's option, at either a base rate or LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin, which is determined by reference to a pricing grid based on Match Group's consolidated net leverage ratio. The terms of the Match Group Credit Facility require Match Group to maintain a leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0.
On November 16, 2015, Match Group amended and restated the Match Group Credit Agreement to provide for an $800 million, seven-year term loan ("Match Group Term Loan"). Principal payments of $10 million under the Match Group Term Loan are due quarterly through maturity, at which point a final principal payment of $530 million will become due. Additionally, the Match Group Term Loan may require additional annual principal payments as part of an excess cash flow sweep provision, the amount of which is governed by the net secured leverage ratio. The Match Group Term Loan bears interest, at its option, at either the base rate or LIBOR, plus 3.50% or 4.50%, respectively, with, in the case of LIBOR, a floor of 1.00%. Interest payments are due no less than semi-annually through the term of the loan. The Match Group Term Loan and outstanding borrowings, if any, under the Match Group Credit Facility rank pari-passu with each other, and have priority over the Match Group Senior Notes.
There are additional covenants under the Match Group Credit Facility and the Match Group Term Loan that limit Match Group's ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions. While the Match Group Term Loan remains outstanding, these same covenants under the Match Group Credit Agreement are more restrictive than the covenants that are applicable to the Match Group Credit Facility. Obligations under the Match Group Credit Facility and Match Group Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly-owned Match Group domestic subsidiaries, and are also secured by the stock of certain Match Group domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
The Company may redeem the 2013 Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 30 of the years indicated below:
