In connection with the Mount Holly acquisition, we borrowed $160.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. On September 2, 2021 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers (together with the Company, the "Borrowers") and certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a restatement agreement as part of a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of banks. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the banks agreed (i) to make available to the Borrowers multi-currency revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $400 million outstanding at any time (the “Revolving Facility”), which may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until September 2, 2026 and (ii) to continue the Euro denominated term loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed €220.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) which matures February 8, 2024. Borrowings of Revolving Loans will be available in U.S Dollars, Euros, British Pound Sterling, and Canadian Dollars and the borrowing of Term Loans will be available in Euros. In addition, the Borrowers may request (i) letters of credit in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $30 million; and (ii) Swing Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30 million. Under the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers also have the option to request that the Lenders increase their commitments under the Revolving Facility or Term Loan Facility or join one or more new Lenders to the Credit Agreement (such new Lenders subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent), provided that the increase in the aggregate principal amount of commitments may not exceed $150 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are unsecured. The Borrowers are permitted to use borrowings under the Revolving Facility for general corporate purposes including working capital needs and to finance future permitted acquisitions. The principal amount of the Term Loan amortizes in consecutive quarterly installments of principal, with each such quarterly installment to be in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Term Loan funded. Borrowing rates for the Revolving Loans are determined at our option at the time of each borrowing. For all U.S. Dollar denominated Revolving Loan borrowings, the borrowing rate is either, (a) the bank’s base rate which is equal to the greater of i) the prime rate; ii) the overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points; or iii) the daily Euro-rate plus 100 basis points plus an applicable spread over either i), ii) or iii) ranging from 12.5 basis points to 100 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio and its corporate credit ratings determined by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (the “Corporate Credit Rating”); or (b) the daily Euro-rate or EURIBOR-rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 112.5 basis points to 200 basis points based on the Company’s leverage ratio and the Corporate Credit Rating. For the Term Loan and non-U.S. Dollar denominated borrowings, interest is based on (b) above. The Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, then the Agent may declare outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement specifies a maximum ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, also known as the leverage ratio. Prior to the acquisition in October 2021 of all of the outstanding equity interests of PMM Holding (Luxembourg) AG (the “Jacob Holm Acquisition”), we are obligated to maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00, provided that such ratio increases to 4.50 to 1.00 during the period of four fiscal quarters immediately following a material acquisition. Subsequent to the Jacob Holm Acquisition, we must maintain a maximum leverage ratio of no more than 5.25 to 1.00, which steps down to 4.00 to 1.00 after 24 months of the Jacob Holm Acquisition. The Credit Agreement also contains covenants requiring a minimum interest coverage ratio and provisions limiting our ability to, among other things, (i) incur debt and guaranty obligations, (ii) incur liens, (iii) make loans, advances, investments and acquisitions, (iv) merge or liquidate, or (v) sell or transfer assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that if, and for so long as, the Debt Rating (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is below “BB” by Standard & Poor’s or below “Ba2” by Moody’s, obligations under the Credit Agreement will be secured by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. As of September 30, 2021, the leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the definition in our Credit Agreement, was 2.6x. A breach of these requirements would give rise to certain remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, among which are the termination of the agreement and accelerated repayment of the outstanding borrowings plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement. All remaining principal outstanding and accrued interest under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable on September 2, 2026. Glatfelter Gernsbach GmbH (“Gernsbach”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, entered into a series of borrowing agreements with IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG, Düsseldorf (“IKB”) as summarized below:
Amounts in thousands | Original Principal |  | Interest Rate |  | Maturity

Apr. 11, 2013 | € | 42,700 |  |  | 2.05 | % |  | Mar. 2023
Sep. 4, 2014 | 10,000 |  |  | 2.40 | % |  | Jun. 2022
Oct. 10, 2015 | 2,608 |  |  | 1.55 | % |  | Sep. 2025
Apr. 26, 2016 | 10,000 |  |  | 1.30 | % |  | Jun. 2023
May 4, 2016 | 7,195 |  |  | 1.55 | % |  | Sep. 2025
Each of the borrowings require quarterly repayments of principal and interest and provide for representations, warranties and covenants customary for financings of these types. The financial covenants contained in each of the IKB loans, which relate to the minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense and the maximum ratio of consolidated total net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA, are calculated by reference to our Credit Agreement. Glatfelter Corporation guarantees all debt obligations of its subsidiaries. All such obligations are recorded in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Letters of credit issued to us by certain financial institutions totaled $6.7 million and $7.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The letters of credit, which reduce amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility, primarily provide financial assurances for the benefit of certain state workers compensation insurance agencies in conjunction with our self-insurance program and for performance of certain remediation activity related to the Fox River matter. We bear the credit risk on this amount to the extent that we do not comply with the provisions of certain agreements. No amounts are outstanding under the letters of credit.
