(6) Debt
We have a loan agreement with a group of banks. In January 2015, we amended and restated the loan agreement to fund our acquisition of four aviation businesses, provide working capital for our continuing operations, and retire our existing debt. Both the former and the amended and restated loan agreements are comprised of a term loan facility and a revolving loan facility. The revolving loan facility provides for revolving loans and letters of credit. The amended and restated loan agreement expires in January 2020. Financing costs associated with the inception of the amended and restated loan agreement were approximately $2 million.
The amended and restated term loan requires quarterly installment payments. Our scheduled term loan payments after December 31, 2014 are $11.2 million in 2015, $17.8 million in 2016, $21.6 million in 2017, $28.1 million in 2018, $30 million in 2019, and $41.3 million after 2019. The amount of term loan borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2014 under the former loan agreement was $25 million. The amount of term loan borrowings outstanding at inception of the amended and restated loan agreement was $150 million.
The maximum amount of credit available to us from the banking group for revolving loans and letters of credit under the former loan agreement as of December 31, 2014 was $125 million. The maximum amount for revolving loans and letters of credit under the amended and restated agreement is $150 million. We may borrow and repay the revolving loan borrowings as our cash flows require or permit. We pay an unused commitment fee and fees on letters of credit that are issued. We had approximately $23.6 million in revolving loan amounts outstanding and no of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2014 under the former loan agreement. The amount of revolving loan borrowings outstanding at inception of the amended and restated loan agreement was $100 million. We had approximately $30.3 million in revolving loan amounts and $573 thousand of letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2013.
Under the amended and restated loan agreement we may elect to increase the maximum availability of the term loan facility, the revolving loan facility, or both facilities up to an aggregate additional amount of $75 million.
Total bank loan borrowed funds outstanding as of December 31, 2014, including term loan borrowings and revolving loan borrowings, were approximately $48.6 million. Total bank loan borrowed funds outstanding as of December 31, 2013 were $89.7 million. The fair value of outstanding debt under our bank loan facilities as of December 31, 2014 approximates its carrying value using Level 2 inputs based on market data on companies with a corporate rating similar to ours that have recently priced credit facilities.
We pay interest on the term loan borrowings and revolving loan borrowings at LIBOR plus a base margin or at a base rate (typically the prime rate) plus a base margin. As of December 31, 2014, the LIBOR base margin was 1.75% and the base rate base margin was 0.00%. At inception of the amended and restated loan agreement, the LIBOR base margin was 2.25% and the base rate base margin was 1.00%. The base margins increase or decrease in increments as our Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio increases or decreases.
We had interest rate hedges on a portion of our outstanding borrowings that expired June 30, 2014. Between June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014, we had no interest rate hedges on our outstanding borrowings. The terms of the amended and restated loan agreement require us to have interest rate hedges on a portion of the outstanding term loan for the first three years of the agreement, and for such interest rate hedges to be in place within 60 days after inception of the agreement. We executed such compliant interest rate hedges in February 2015. As of December 31, 2014, interest rates on portions of our outstanding debt range from 1.91% to 3.25%, and the effective interest rate on our aggregate outstanding debt was 3.15%.
Interest expense incurred on bank loan borrowings and interest rate hedges was approximately $2 million and $3.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Both the former and amended and restated loan agreements contain collateral requirements to secure our loan agreement obligations, restrictive covenants, a limit on annual dividends, and other affirmative and negative covenants, conditions and limitations. Upon execution of the amended and restated loan agreement, all restrictive covenants and the December 31, 2014 restrictive covenant measurement date under the former loan agreement were replaced by the restrictive covenants under the amended and restated agreement, with the initial measurement date being the date of inception of the amended and restated agreement. Restrictive covenants under the amended and restated loan agreement include a maximum Total Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio and a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. We were in compliance with required ratios and other terms and conditions at inception of the amended and restated loan agreement.
