Short-Term Debt

Short-term borrowings are primarily related to the Company's non-U.S. affiliates and joint ventures and are payable in U.S. Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and India Rupee. Available borrowings on outstanding affiliate credit facilities as of June 30, 2018, are approximately $27 million and certain of these facilities have pledged assets as security.

Long-Term Debt

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which includes a $350 million Term Facility maturing on March 24, 2024 and a Revolving Credit Facility with a capacity of $300 million, which matures on March 24, 2022.

On May 30, 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amendment of its Credit Agreement to reduce the applicable margin on Eurodollar Rate loans. At the Company’s option, the Term Facility under the amended Credit Agreement interest shall accrue at a rate equal to the applicable annualized domestic rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or the LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75% per annum.

The Company is required to pay accrued interest on any outstanding principal balance under the credit facility with a frequency of the lesser of the LIBOR tenor or every three months. Any outstanding principal under this facility will be due upon the maturity date. The Company may also terminate or reduce the borrowing commitments under this facility, in whole or in part, upon three business days’ notice.

Loans drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at an annualized rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% as specified by a ratings grid contained in the Credit Agreement. Based on the Company’s current credit ratings, borrowings would accrue interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum. The Revolving Credit Facility also provides $75 million availability for the issuance of letters of credit and a maximum of $20 million for swing line borrowing. Any amount of the facility utilized for letters of credit or swing line loans outstanding will reduce the amount available under the amended Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company may request increases in the limits under the amended Term Facility and the amended Revolving Credit Facility and may request the addition of one or more term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement. Outstanding borrowings may be prepaid without penalty (other than borrowings made for the purpose of reducing the effective interest rate margin or weighted average yield of the loans). There are mandatory prepayments of principal in connection with: (i) excess cash flow sweeps above certain leverage thresholds, (ii) certain asset sales or other dispositions, (iii) certain refinancing of indebtedness and (iv) over-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility. There are no excess cash flow sweeps required at the Company’s current leverage level.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants, and contains customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than 3.00:1.00. During any period when the Company’s corporate and family ratings meet investment grade ratings, certain of the negative covenants will be suspended. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all its debt covenants.

As of June 30, 2018, the outstanding aggregate principal borrowing under the amended Term Facility is $350 million and there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Other

The Company has a $5 million letter of credit facility, whereby the Company is required to maintain a collateral account equal to 103% of the aggregate stated amount of issued letters of credit and must reimburse any amounts drawn under issued letters of credit. The Company had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under this facility secured by restricted cash, as of June 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company had $16 million of locally issued letters of credit with less than $1 million of collateral as of June 30, 2018, to support various tax appeals, customs arrangements and other obligations at its local affiliates.
