Revolving Credit Facility
On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the 2017 Credit Agreement) that became effective on March 2, 2017, which is a five-year unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000. On May 24, 2017, the Company entered into a first amendment and limited consent, which increased the revolving loan commitment to $300,000,000. The 2017 Credit Agreement also includes an uncommitted unsecured incremental borrowing facility of up to an additional $100,000,000. The principal on any borrowings made under the 2017 Credit Agreement is due on March 1, 2022. Borrowing may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain foreign currencies, as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement. Interest on any loans outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement accrues and generally is payable quarterly in arrears at one of the following rates selected by the Company: (i) the Base Rate, calculated as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% (b) the prime rate as published by Citizens Bank, and (c) the thirty-day London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate, as defined, plus 0.50%; or (ii) the LIBOR rate (with a zero percent floor), as defined, plus an applicable margin of 1% to 2%. The applicable margin is determined based upon the ratio of the Company's total debt, net of certain cash, as defined, to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement. For this purpose, total debt net of certain cash is defined as total debt less the sum of (i) unrestricted U.S. cash, and (ii) 65% of unrestricted cash outside of the United States, but no more than an aggregate amount of $30,000,000.
The obligations of the Company under the 2017 Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 2017 Credit Agreement, which includes customary events of default including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy- and insolvency-related defaults, defaults relating to such matters as the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), unsatisfied judgments, the failure to pay certain indebtedness, and a change of control default. In addition, the 2017 Credit Agreement contains negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.5 to 1, a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3 to 1, and restrictions on liens, indebtedness, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, making certain restricted payments (including dividends and stock repurchases), investments, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions, swap agreements, changing its fiscal year, arrangements affecting subsidiary distributions, entering into new lines of business, and certain actions related to a discontinued operation. At year-end 2017, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Loans under the 2017 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to an Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2017. In addition, one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries entered into a Guarantee Agreement limited to certain obligations of two foreign subsidiary borrowers pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement dated as of March 1, 2017.
During 2017, the Company borrowed an aggregate $232,019,000 under the 2017 Credit Agreement, including $70,691,000 of Canadian dollar-denominated and $61,769,000 of euro-denominated borrowings. At year-end 2017, the outstanding balance under the 2017 Credit Agreement was $237,011,000, including $58,692,000 of euro-denominated and $58,319,000 of Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings and had $64,030,000 of borrowing capacity available under its 2017 Credit Agreement, as calculated by translating its foreign-denominated borrowings using borrowing date foreign exchange rates.
The weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 2.69% at year-end 2017 and 1.52% at year-end 2016.

Debt Issuance Costs
During 2017, the Company incurred an additional $1,257,000 of debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Credit Agreement. Unamortized debt issuance costs, included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, were $1,285,000 at year-end 2017 and $266,000 at year-end 2016 and are being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method.

Obligations Under Capital Lease
The Company's obligations under capital leases include a sale-leaseback financing arrangement for PAAL's facility in Germany. Under this arrangement, the quarterly lease payment includes principal, interest, and a payment to the landlord toward a loan receivable. The loan receivable, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, was $490,000 at year-end 2017. The lease arrangement provides for a fixed price purchase option, net of the projected loan receivable, of $1,594,000 at the end of the lease term in 2022. If the Company does not exercise the purchase option for the facility, the Company will receive cash from the landlord to settle the loan receivable. As of year-end 2017, $4,535,000 was outstanding under this capital lease obligation with an interest rate of 1.79% on the outstanding balance and $98,000 related to other capital lease obligations.
The following schedule presents future minimum lease payments under the Company's capital lease obligations and the present value of the minimum lease payments as of year-end 2017.
