The Company’s credit facilities and certain long-term debt agreements have restrictive covenants and cross-default provisions, which generally provide, subject to the Company’s right to cure, for the acceleration of payments due in the event of a breach of a covenant or a default in the payment of a specified amount of indebtedness due under certain other debt agreements. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and provisions for all periods presented.
Senior Secured Credit Agreements
As of February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $1,459 and $1,469, respectively, under its $1,500 term loan facility (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”), which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s real estate, equipment and certain other assets, and bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.50 percent subject to a floor on LIBOR of 1.00 percent. The Secured Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by the Company’s material subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Term Loan Parties”). To secure their obligations under the Secured Term Loan Facility, the Company granted a perfected first-priority security interest for the benefit of the facility lenders in the Term Loan Parties’ equity interests in Moran Foods, LLC, the main operating entity of the Company’s Save-A-Lot business, and the Term Loan Parties granted a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of their intellectual property and a first priority mortgage lien and security interest in certain owned or ground-leased real estate and associated equipment pledged as collateral. As of February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015, there was $781 and $776, respectively, of owned or ground-leased real estate and associated equipment pledged as collateral, which was included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the obligations of the Term Loan Parties under the Secured Term Loan Facility are secured by second-priority security interests in the collateral securing the Company’s $1,000 asset-based revolving ABL credit facility (the “Revolving ABL Credit Facility”). As of February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015, $102 and $11 of the Secured Term Loan Facility was classified as current, respectively.
The loans under the Secured Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in certain minimum principal amounts, subject to the payment of breakage or similar costs. Pursuant to the Secured Term Loan Facility, the Company must, subject to certain customary reinvestment rights, apply 100 percent of Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the facility) from certain types of asset sales (excluding proceeds of the collateral security of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility and other secured indebtedness) to prepay the loans outstanding under the Secured Term Loan Facility. The Company must also prepay loans outstanding under the facility no later than 90 days after the fiscal year end in an aggregate principal amount equal to a percentage (which percentage ranges from 0 to 50 percent depending on the Company’s Total Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the facility) as of the last day of such fiscal year) of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the facility) for the fiscal year then ended minus any voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year with Internally Generated Cash (as defined in the facility). Based on the Company's Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016, a $99 prepayment will be required under the Secured Term Loan Facility no later than 90 days after the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016.
On February 3, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Third ABL Amendment") to the Revolving ABL Credit Facility that extended the maturity date of the facility to February 3, 2021 from its prior maturity date of September 30, 2019. The Third ABL Amendment also reduced the rate at which interest is paid on loans under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility by 25 basis points to, at the Company’s election, LIBOR plus an interest rate margin between 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent or prime plus an interest rate margin between 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent, in each case, depending on quarterly average excess availability. The Third ABL Amendment also reduced the letter of credit fee under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility to 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent, depending on quarterly average excess availability. Further, the amount of the facility fee required to be paid quarterly in arrears by the Company was reduced to 0.25 percent multiplied by the aggregate unused commitments under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility. This Third ABL Amendment also permits the Company and its subsidiaries to undertake certain transactions reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to effectuate a spin-off of Save-A-Lot. In addition, the Third ABL Amendment also modifies certain representations and warranties, covenants and events of default set forth in the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, and provides for the adjustment of certain covenants in the event a spin-off of Save-A-Lot is consummated.
As of February 27, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company had $138 and $0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, respectively. As of February 27, 2016, letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility were $69 at fees of 1.625 percent, and the unused available credit under this facility was $744 with facility fees of 0.25 percent. As of February 28, 2015, letters of credit outstanding under the Company's Revolving ABL Credit Facility were $76 at fees of 1.625 percent, and the unused available credit under this facility was $871 with facility fees of 0.375 percent. As of February 27, 2016, the Revolving ABL Credit Facility was secured on a first-priority basis by $1,238 of certain inventory assets included in Inventories, net, $222 of certain receivables included in Receivables, net, $23 of certain amounts included in Cash and cash equivalents and all of the Company’s pharmacy scripts included in Intangible assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of February 28, 2015, the Revolving ABL Credit Facility was secured on a first-priority basis by $1,188 of certain inventory assets included in Inventories, net, $220 of certain receivables included in Receivables, net, $28 of certain amounts included in Cash and cash equivalents and all of the Company’s pharmacy scripts included in Intangible assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The revolving loans under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in certain minimum principal amounts, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage or similar costs. The Company and those subsidiaries named as borrowers under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are required to repay the revolving loans in cash and provide cash collateral under this facility to the extent that the revolving loans and letters of credit exceed the lesser of the borrowing base then in effect or the aggregate amount of the lenders’ commitments under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility. During the fiscal year ended February 27, 2016, the Company borrowed $840 and repaid $702 under its Revolving ABL Credit Facility. During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, the Company borrowed $3,268 and repaid $3,268 under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility. Certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries are co-borrowers under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, and this facility is guaranteed by the rest of the Company’s material subsidiaries (the Company and those subsidiaries named as borrowers and guarantors under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, the “ABL Loan Parties”). To secure their obligations under this facility, the ABL Loan Parties have granted a perfected first-priority security interest for the benefit of the facility lenders in their present and future inventory, credit card, wholesale trade, pharmacy and certain other receivables, prescription files and related assets. In addition, the obligations under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility are secured by second-priority liens on and security interests in the collateral securing the Secured Term Loan Facility, subject to certain limitations to ensure compliance with the Company’s outstanding debt instruments and leases.
Both the Secured Term Loan Facility and the Revolving ABL Credit Facility limit the Company’s ability to make Restricted Payments (as defined in both the Secured Term Loan Facility and the Revolving ABL Credit Facility), which include dividends to stockholders. The Secured Term Loan Facility caps the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments that may be made over the life of the Secured Term Loan Facility. That aggregate cap can fluctuate over time and the cap could be reduced by certain other actions taken by the Company, including certain debt prepayments and Permitted Investments (as defined in the Secured Term Loan Facility). As of February 27, 2016, that aggregate cap on Restricted Payments was approximately $401. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility permits dividends up to $75 per fiscal year, not to exceed $175 in the aggregate over the life of the Revolving ABL Credit Facility, as long as no Cash Dominion Event (as defined in the Revolving ABL Credit Facility) exists. Those caps could be reduced by certain debt prepayments made by the Company. The Revolving ABL Credit Facility permits other Restricted Payments as long as the Payment Conditions (as defined in the Revolving ABL Credit Facility) are met.
Debentures

On January 6, 2016, the Company used borrowings under the Revolving ABL Credit Facility and cash from operations to fund the redemption of the remaining $278 of 8.00 percent Senior Notes due May 2016 (the "2016 Notes"), and to pay accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed 2016 Notes and the applicable redemption premium of approximately $6, which was expensed. In addition, non-cash charges of $1 for the write-off of the remaining unamortized financing costs on the redeemed 2016 Notes were incurred.

The $400 of 6.75 percent Senior Notes due June 2021, and the $350 of 7.75 percent Senior Notes due November 2022 contain, and before their redemption the 2016 Notes contained, operating covenants, including limitations on liens and on sale and leaseback transactions. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and provisions for all periods presented.
