The mortgages payable are secured by deeds of trust on certain of the properties and assignments of rents. The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at our option.
Secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans represent sold loans which are treated as secured borrowings because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral. These loans included cash premiums that are amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and are fully amortized when the underlying loan is repaid in full.
Deferred loan costs, which represent legal and third-party fees incurred in connection with our borrowing activities, are capitalized and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the related loan, approximating the effective interest method. Deferred loan costs of $3,843,000 and $3,843,000 are presented net of accumulated amortization of $1,281,000 and $1,105,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are a reduction to total debt.
In September 2014, CIM Commercial entered into an $850,000,000 unsecured credit facility with a bank syndicate consisting of a $450,000,000 revolver, a $325,000,000 term loan and a $75,000,000 delayed-draw term loan. CIM Commercial is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants and a minimum property ownership condition. Outstanding advances under the revolver bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.20% to 1.00% or (ii) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.20% to 2.00%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. Outstanding advances under the term loans bore interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.15% to 0.95% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.15% to 1.95%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The delayed-draw term loan was also subject to an unused line fee of 0.25%. Proceeds from the unsecured credit facility were used to repay mortgage loans and outstanding balances under our prior unsecured credit facilities, for acquisitions, short-term funding of a Common Stock tender offer in June 2016, short-term funding of a private repurchase of Common Stock in June 2017, and general corporate purposes. In June 2016, we entered into six mortgage loan agreements with an aggregate principal amount of $392,000,000. A portion of the net proceeds from the loans was used to repay outstanding balances under our unsecured credit facility and the remaining portion was used to repurchase shares of our Common Stock in a private repurchase in September 2016. The June 2017 borrowing used to fund the private share repurchase was repaid using proceeds from subsequent asset sales. The credit facility was set to mature in September 2016 and, prior to maturity, we exercised the first of two one year extension options through September 2017 and we permanently reduced the revolving credit commitment under the credit facility to $200,000,000. In August 2017, we exercised the second of two one year extension options through September 2018 and, in connection with such exercise, we paid an extension fee of $300,000. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $10,000,000 and $0, respectively, was outstanding under the credit facility. The unused capacity on the unsecured credit facility, based on covenant restrictions at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, was approximately $190,000,000 and $200,000,000, respectively.
In May 2015, CIM Commercial entered into an unsecured term loan facility with a bank syndicate pursuant to which CIM Commercial could borrow up to a maximum of $385,000,000. The term loan facility ranks pari passu with CIM Commercial's unsecured credit facility described above; covenants under the term loan facility are substantially the same as those in the unsecured credit facility. Outstanding advances under the term loan facility bear interest at (i) the base rate plus 0.60% to 1.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.25%, depending on the maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The unused portion of the term loan facility was also subject to an unused fee of 0.20%. The term loan facility matures in May 2022. On November 2, 2015, $385,000,000 was drawn under the term loan facility. Proceeds from the term loan facility were used to repay balances outstanding under our unsecured credit facility. On August 3, 2017, we repaid $65,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. In connection with such paydown, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $601,000 and related accumulated amortization of $193,000, a proportionate amount to the borrowings being repaid. Additionally, on November 29, 2017, we repaid $150,000,000 of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured term loan facility. In connection with such paydown, we wrote off deferred loan costs of $1,387,000 and related accumulated amortization of $512,000, a proportionate amount to the borrowings being repaid. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $170,000,000 was outstanding under the term loan facility and the variable interest rate was 3.26% and 2.96%, respectively. The interest rate of the term loan facility has been effectively converted to a fixed rate of 3.16% until May 8, 2020 (Note 12) through interest rate swaps that convert the interest rate on the first $170,000,000 of our one-month LIBOR indexed variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate.
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all of our respective financial covenants under the unsecured credit and term loan facilities.
On March 28, 2017, in connection with the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, we paid off a mortgage with an outstanding balance of $25,331,000 using proceeds from the sale. Additionally, we paid a prepayment penalty of $1,508,000 in connection with the prepayment of this mortgage (Note 3).
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $1,981,000 and $2,098,000, respectively, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
We are currently in discussions with a group of banks with respect to our financing options following the maturity of our unsecured credit facility in September 2018 as well as the possibility of refinancing our unsecured term loan facility. There can be no assurance that such discussions will result in any new financing arrangements.

Principal payments are generally dependent upon cash flows received from the underlying loans. Our estimate of their repayment is based on scheduled principal payments on the underlying loans. Our estimate will differ from actual amounts to the extent we experience prepayments and/or loan liquidations or charge-offs. No payment is due unless payments are received from the borrowers on the underlying loans.
