On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan Amendment (the "Loan Amendment"). The Loan Amendment provided for a $300 million senior revolving credit facility expiring in December 2018. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Amendment are secured by pledges of stock of certain of our foreign and domestic subsidiaries.

Under the terms of the Loan Amendment, the Company may borrow up to $300 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $204.9 million available under the Loan Amendment. The Company had $4.4 million of letters of credit issued related to insurance and other financing contracts in the ordinary course of business at December 31, 2016. Borrowings under the Loan Amendment 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 Amendment. The average interest rate on borrowings under our loan agreements were 4.69% for 2016 and 4.59% for 2015, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion.

The Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes totaling $100 million range in face value from $11 million to $40 million, with interest rates ranging from 4.67% to 5.45%, payable semiannually, and maturing 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, 2016, $100 million was outstanding.

Long-term debt of $189.5 million at December 31, 2016 includes $1.2 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, which is accounted for as a debt valuation account. Amounts outstanding at December 31, 2016 under the Loan Amendment and Senior Unsecured Notes mature in 2018 and 2021 to 2026, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants associated with its Loan Amendment and Senior Unsecured Notes. The most restrictive financial covenants for all of the Company’s debt are an interest coverage ratio (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted, divided by interest expense) and a leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted). The ratios as of December 31, 2016 are shown in the following table:
