On January 3, 2014, the company entered into the $1,050.0 million Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Senior Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., BMO Harris Bank N.A. and Rabobank Nederland, New York Branch as Documentation Agents. The Senior Credit Facility includes three different loan facilities. The first is a revolving facility in the amount of $500.0 million, with a term of five years. The second facility is a Term A Loan in the aggregate amount of $350.0 million, with a term of five years. The third facility is a Term B Loan in the amount of $200.0 million, with a term of seven years.
The Senior Credit Facility replaced the company’s prior $1,250.0 million Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Prior Senior Credit Facility”), which was entered into on May 13, 2011. The Prior Senior Credit Facility included three different loan facilities.  The first was a revolving facility in the amount of $500.0 million, with a term of five years.  The second facility was an amortizing Term Loan A facility in the aggregate amount of $350.0 million with a term of five years.  The third facility was an amortizing Term Loan B facility in the amount of $400.0 million with a term of 6.5 years. 
As of December 31, 2015, the company had no borrowings on the revolving facility. During the year, the highest daily borrowing was $374.0 million and the average borrowing was $312.9 million, while the average interest rate was 2.71%. The interest rate fluctuates based upon LIBOR or a Prime rate plus a spread which is based upon the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the company. As of December 31, 2015, the spreads for LIBOR and Prime borrowings were 2.50% and 1.50%, respectively, given the effective Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for this period. The company also pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the revolving facility. The company is also obligated to pay certain fees and expenses of the lenders.
As of December 31, 2015, the company had outstanding $175.0 million notional amount of float-to-fixed interest rate swaps outstanding related to Term Loan A under the New Senior Credit Facility that were designated as cash flow hedges. As a result, $175.0 million of Term Loan A was hedged at an interest rate of 1.635%, plus the applicable spread based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of the company as defined under the New Senior Credit Facility.
See Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for a description of hedging instruments used to mitigate interest rate risk. 
Including interest rate swaps at December 31, 2015, the weighted average interest rates for Term Loan A and Term Loan B loans were 3.29% and 3.25%, respectively.  Excluding interest rate swaps, the interest rates on Term Loan A and Term Loan B were 2.75% and 3.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2015.
Loans made under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of, and guaranteed by, the material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the company, and secured by 65% of the stock of certain foreign subsidiaries of Manitowoc. The Senior Credit Facility also requires the company to provide additional collateral to the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility in certain limited circumstances.
The Senior Credit Facility also includes customary representations and warranties and events of default and customary covenants, including without limitation (i) a requirement that the company prepay the term loan facilities from the net proceeds of asset sales, casualty losses, equity offerings, and new indebtedness for borrowed money, and from a portion of its excess cash flow, subject to certain exceptions; and (ii) limitations on indebtedness, capital expenditures, restricted payments, and acquisitions.
The Senior Credit Facility contains financial covenants including (a) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments (Adjusted EBITDA), as defined in the credit agreement to (ii) consolidated cash interest expense, each for the most recent four fiscal quarters; and (b) a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated senior secured indebtedness to (ii) consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters.  The covenant levels of the financial covenants under the New Senior Credit Facility are as set forth below:

As of December 31, 2015, the company had two series of Senior Notes outstanding, the 2020 and 2022 Notes (collectively the “Senior Notes”).  Each series of Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations ranking subordinate to all existing senior secured indebtedness and equal to all existing senior unsecured obligations.  Each series of Senior Notes is guaranteed by certain of the company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, which subsidiaries also guaranty the company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility.  Each series of Senior Notes contains affirmative and negative covenants which limit, among other things, the company’s ability to redeem or repurchase its debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, repurchase capital stock, and create or become subject to liens.  Each series of Senior Notes also includes customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Senior Notes, then the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal and accrued interest on all of the Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately. In addition, in the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable immediately. 
On October 19, 2012, the company completed the sale of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due October 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) at an issue price of 100%. Net proceeds from the 2022 Notes were used to redeem the entire $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of its former 2013 Notes, to repay $36.0 million of Term Loan B under its Prior Senior Credit Facility, and to repay a portion of the outstanding revolver borrowings under its Prior Senior Credit Facility. Interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The following would be the principal and premium paid by the company, expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof, if it redeems the 2022 Notes during the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the year set forth below:

In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2015, the company was permitted to, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more public equity offers to redeem up to 35% of the 2022 Notes at a redemption price of 105.875%, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that (1) at least 65% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes outstanding remained outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and (2) the company maked such redemptions not more than 90 days after the consummation of any such public offering. Further, the company was required to offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes for cash at a price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event.
On October 18, 2010, the company completed the sale of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”).  Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually in May and November of each year. 
The following would be the principal and premium paid by the company, expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof, if it redeems the 2020 Notes during the 12-month period commencing on November 1 of the year set forth below:

On February 3, 2010, the company completed the sale of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.50% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). Interest on the 2018 Notes was payable semiannually in February and August of each year.  On February 18, 2014 the company redeemed its 2018 Notes for $419.0 million or 104.750%, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount.
In the third quarter of 2012, the company monetized the derivative asset related to the fixed-to-float interest rate swaps related to its 2018 and 2020 Notes and received $14.8 million. The company treated the gain as an increase to the debt balances for each of the 2018 and 2020 Notes, and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the original swap (or until the debt is extinguished, if earlier).
In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company purchased and designated new fixed-to-float swaps as fair market value hedges of the 2022 Notes. 
In May 2013, the company entered into new interest rate swaps due in 2020 and 2022, designating them as fair market value hedges of the 2020 and 2022 Notes, respectively.
In April 2015, the company monetized the derivative liability related to $75.0 million notional amount of its fixed-to-float interest rate swaps related to the 2020 Notes and $45.0 million notional amount of its fixed-to-float interest rate swaps related to the 2022 Notes. The loss on the monetization of these swaps of $0.7 million was treated as a decrease to the debt balances for the 2020 Notes and 2022 Notes, and is being amortized against interest expense over the life of the original swaps.
In September 2015, the company monetized the derivative liability related to $80.0 million notional of its fixed-to-float interest rate swaps related to the 2022 Notes. The loss on monetization of these swaps of $0.5 million was treated as a decrease to the debt balances for the 2020 Notes and 2022 Notes, and is being amortized against interest expense over the life of the original swaps.
As of December 31, 2015, the company had no outstanding fixed-to-float interest rate swaps related to the Senior Notes due 2020 and 2022. As of December 31, 2014 the company had $75.0 million and $125.0 million notional amount of fixed-to-float interest rate swaps outstanding related to the Senior Notes due 2020 and 2022, respectively, which were designated as fair value hedges.
See Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for a description of hedging instruments used to mitigate interest rate risk. 
The balance sheet values of the 2020 and 2022 Notes at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are not equal to the face value of the Senior Notes due to the fact that the fair market value of the interest rate hedges and interest rate monetization premiums on these Senior Notes are included in the balance sheet value.
The loss on debt extinguishment was $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2015, of which were all due to the write-off of deferred financing fees due to accelerated pay downs on Term Loan B.
As of December 31, 2015, the company had outstanding $69.0 million of other indebtedness that has a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.378%.  This debt includes outstanding overdraft balances and capital lease obligations in the Americas, Asia-Pacific and European regions, as well as a $18.5 million loan on a model 31000 crawler crane.

As of December 31, 2015, the company was in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants in its debt instruments, inclusive of the financial covenants pertaining to the Senior Credit Facility, the 2020 Notes, and the 2022 Notes.  Based upon management’s current plans and outlook, it believes the company will be able to comply with these covenants during the subsequent 12 months. As of December 31, 2015, our Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio was 1.90:1, while the maximum ratio is 3.25:1 and our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 3.71:1, above the minimum ratio of 2.75:1.
