In March 2017, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement replaced the pre-existing $300 million senior revolving credit facility with a $200 million facility and extended the term from December 2018 to March 2022. In addition, the Loan Agreement provides for a maximum Leverage Ratio of 3.75 for the first and second quarters of 2017, stepping down to 3.5 in the third quarter of 2017, and 3.25 thereafter.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to $200.0 million, reduced for letters of credit issued. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $135.8 million available under the Loan Agreement. 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 September 30, 2017. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate, prime rate, federal funds effective rate, the Canadian deposit offered rate, or the euro currency reference rate depending on the type of loan requested by the Company, plus the applicable margin as set forth in the Loan Agreement. The average interest rate on borrowings under our loan agreements were 5.18% and 4.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 5.05% and 4.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which includes a quarterly facility fee on the used and unused portion.

In September 2017, the Company made an offer to all holders of the $100 million Senior Unsecured Notes (“Notes”) to purchase all or a portion of the Notes prior to their maturity dates. In October 2017, one note holder accepted the offer and elected to tender $22 million in Notes. The Company purchased the Notes from the holder on October 31, 2017 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.9 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017.
