Long-term debt	4. Long-term debt On August 30, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. holding company, Orthofix Holdings, Inc. (“Orthofix Holdings”) entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain domestic direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, RBS Citizens, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and certain lender parties thereto. The Credit Agreement initially provided for a five year, $200 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and a five year, $100 million secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility,” and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). On January 15, 2015, at the Company’s request, the lenders agreed to reduce the available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $100 million. As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, there was no outstanding principal under either the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility. Any outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility arising in the event that we draw funds in the future under such facility would be due on August 30, 2015. The Company is currently in negotiations to renew its revolving credit facility and expects to have this completed before the expiration of its current facility. The amount of net assets of Orthofix Holdings and its subsidiaries that we classify as “restricted” (due to restrictions on the use of such assets pursuant to the terms of the agreement) as of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, is $187.8 million and $181.8 million, respectively. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the Company and subsidiaries that are not parties to the Credit Facilities accessing cash held by Orthofix Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (by way of dividend or otherwise). All of the Company’s subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement generally have access to this cash for operational and debt repayment purposes. As the Company does not carry a balance on the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2015, and is in compliance with all required covenants, there are no restrictions on cash as of June 30, 2015. The amount of cash of the Company and its subsidiaries that we classify as “restricted” due to these restrictions as of December 31, 2014 was $34.4 million. The Company had no borrowings and an unused available line of credit of €5.8 million ($6.5 million and $7.0 million) at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, on its Italian line of credit. This unsecured line of credit provides the Company the option to borrow amounts in Italy at rates which are determined at the time of borrowing.
