Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Term Loan and Revolver. In September 2014, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, VSC, entered into a credit agreement. The credit agreement was subsequently amended, with the most recent amendment occurring on December 24, 2020 and is collectively referred to as the Amended Agreement. The credit agreement consists of a term loan (Amended Term Loan) and a $270.0 million revolving credit facility (Amended Revolver) as of December 31, 2020.
Additionally, the Amendment Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to draw up to an additional $100.0 million subject to the lender's consent on the same terms and conditions as the existing commitments. The Amendment Agreement also permits the Company to borrow up to $75.0 million in unsecured debt as long as the aggregated sum of both the unsecured debt and the accordion does not exceed $100.0 million.
Deferred debt issuance costs of $1.1 million incurred in 2020 for the Amended Agreement are being amortized over the term of the agreement and are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
We used $74.6 million from the Amended Term Loan to repay principal and accrued but unpaid interest on the Credit Agreement. We also used $1.8 million from the Amended Term Loan to pay debt financing fees, which are included in "Long-term debt, net" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the Amendment Agreement. Amortization expense relating to debt issuance costs on the Amendment Agreement was $0.4 million annually for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. All debt issuance amortization costs are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Amended Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to $2.0 million per quarter for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 through September 30, 2021, $2.6 million for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 through September 30, 2022, with the balance of $47.6 million due on November 15, 2022. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Term Loan that are repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by the maturity dates. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the balance outstanding under the Amended Term Loan was $64.0 million and $70.5 million, respectively.
The Amended Revolver is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes. The Amended Revolver will mature and the commitments thereunder will terminate on November 15, 2022. We used $115.0 million of the Amended Revolver for our December 31, 2020 acquisitions of Zenetex and HHB (see Note 3 Acquisitions). There were $115.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver at December 31, 2020. Up to $25.0 million of the Amended Revolver is available for the issuance of letters of credit. As of December 31, 2020, there were two letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $2.4 million, which reduced our borrowing availability under the Amended Revolver to $152.6 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended Revolver at December 31, 2019.
The Company's aggregate scheduled maturities of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver as of December 31, 2020, are as follows:

Guarantees and Collateral. The indebtedness and other obligations under the Amended Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our restricted subsidiaries and are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first-priority lien on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets and those of each domestic guarantor.
Voluntary Prepayments. We may voluntarily prepay the Amended Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs under certain conditions. Voluntary prepayments of the Amended Term Loan will be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by us. We may reduce the commitments under the Amended Revolver in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.
Covenants. The Amended Agreement contain customary covenants, including covenants that, under certain circumstances and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions: limit or restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness;
merge, dissolve, liquidate or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase certain debt; and enter into certain restrictive agreements.
In addition, we are required to comply with (a) a maximum ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 3.00 to 1.00 (or 3.50 to 1.00 for the 12 months following a qualified acquisition), and (b) a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense (net of cash interest income) of 4.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2020, we had a ratio of total consolidated indebtedness to EBITDA of 2.05 to 1.00 and a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 19.63 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Agreement as of December 31, 2020.
Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% depending on the leverage ratio, or (ii) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% depending on the leverage ratio. The interest rate under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2020 was 1.90%. We pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the Amended Revolver ranging from 0.30% to 0.45%, depending on the leverage ratio.
Carrying Value and Fair Value. The fair value of the Amended Term Loan and Amended Revolver approximates the carrying value as of December 31, 2020 because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest. The fair value is based on observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt.
