On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement provided for a $200 million senior revolving credit facility expiring on December 13, 2018, which replaced the then existing $180 million facility. In addition, on May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan Agreement (the "Loan Amendment"). The Loan Amendment increased the senior revolving credit facility from $200 million to $300 million through December 2018 and provided for an additional subsidiary of the Company as a borrower and as a guarantor of the credit facility. On July 2, 2014, the Company borrowed approximately $135.3 million under the Loan Agreement to fund the acquisition of Scepter. Amounts borrowed under the agreement are secured by pledges of stock of certain of our foreign and domestic subsidiaries.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $300 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $158.6 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Company also had $4.3 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other financing contracts in the ordinary course of business at December 31, 2014. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the eurocurrency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, in each case plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The average interest rate on borrowings under our loan agreements were 4.00% percent at December 31, 2014 and 3.71% percent at December 31, 2013, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion.

On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement for the private placement of Senior Unsecured Notes totaling $100 million with a group of investors. The four series of notes range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and expiring between 2021 and 2026. At December 31, 2013, the Company had received $11 million of its 5.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due January 15, 2024 under the note purchase agreement. The remaining proceeds of $89 million under the note purchase agreement were subsequently received in January 2014. At December 31, 2014, $100 million was outstanding.

Long-term debt of $236.4 million at December 31, 2014 includes $0.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is accounted for as a debt valuation account. Amounts outstanding at December 31, 2014 under the Loan Agreement and note purchase agreement mature in 2018 and 2021 to 2026, respectively.
