[1] In December 2012, Sirius XM entered into a five-year Credit Facility with a syndicate of financial institutions for $1,250,000. In June 2015, Sirius XM entered into an amendment to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility to $1,750,000 and to extend the maturity to June 2020. Sirius XM's obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of Sirius XM's assets and the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries. Interest on borrowings is payable on a monthly basis and accrues at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable rate. Sirius XM is also required to pay a variable fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility which is payable on a quarterly basis. The variable rate for the unused portion of the Credit Facility was 0.30% per annum as of June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, $1,750,000 was available for future borrowing under the Credit Facility. Sirius XM's outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as Long-term debt within our unaudited consolidated balance sheets due to the long-term maturity of this debt.
[2] In March 2015, Sirius XM issued $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025, with an original issuance discount of $11,250.
[3] Substantially all of our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries have guaranteed these notes.
[4] The liens securing the 5.25% Notes are equal and ratable to the liens granted to secure the Credit Facility.
