2015 Credit Agreement On December 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2015 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, VPG Canada, the lenders, Citizens Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint book-runners and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association as agent for such lenders (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the terms of the Company’s multi-currency, secured credit facility were revised and expanded to provide for the following facilities: (1) a secured revolving facility (the “2015 Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million, with a sublimit of $10.0 million which can be used for letters of credit for the account of the Company or its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, the proceeds of which may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, and a portion of which was used to fund the Stress-Tek and Pacific acquisitions; (2) a secured closing date term facility for the Company (the “2015 U.S. Closing Date Term Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $4.5 million, the proceeds of which were used by the Company to refinance indebtedness under its existing term loan; (3) a secured delayed draw term facility for the Company (the "2015 U.S. Delayed Draw Term Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the Stress-Tek acquisition; and (4) a secured term facility for VPG Canada (the “2015 Canadian Term Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million, the proceeds of which were used by VPG Canada to refinance indebtedness under its existing term loan. The aggregate principal amount of the 2015 Revolving Facility may be increased by a maximum of $15.0 million upon the request of the Company, subject to the terms of the 2015 Credit Agreement. The 2015 Credit Agreement terminates on December 30, 2020. The term loans are being repaid in quarterly installments. Interest payable on amounts borrowed under the 2015 Revolving Facility, the 2015 U.S. Closing Date Term Facility, the 2015 U.S. Delayed Draw Term Facility, and the 2015 Canadian Term Facility (collectively, the “Facilities”) is based upon, at the Company’s option, (1) the greatest of: the Agent’s prime rate, the Federal Funds rate, or a LIBOR floor (the “Base Rate”), or (2) LIBOR plus a specified margin. An interest margin of 0.25% is added to Base Rate loans. Depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, an interest rate margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.50% per annum is added to the applicable LIBOR rate to determine the interest payable on the Facilities. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.30% per annum to 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the 2015 Revolving Facility, which is determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio each quarter. Additional customary fees apply with respect to letters of credit. The total interest rates at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were 4.82% and 4.19%, respectively, for the 2015 Revolving and U.S. Delayed Draw Term Facilities and 4.82% and 4.19%, respectively, for the 2015 U.S. Closing Date Term and 2015 Canadian Term Facilities. The obligations of the Company and VPG Canada under the 2015 Credit Agreement are secured by pledges of stock in certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and of the Company (with respect to the 2015 Canadian Term Facility). The obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the 2015 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets (excluding real estate) of the Company and such guarantors. The 2015 Canadian Term Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of VPG Canada and by a secured guarantee by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. The 2015 Credit Agreement restricts the Company from paying cash dividends and requires the Company to comply with other customary covenants, representations, and warranties, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial maintenance covenants include a tangible net worth ratio, a leverage ratio, and a fixed charges coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with its financial maintenance covenants at December 31, 2018. If the Company is not in compliance with any of these covenant restrictions, the credit facility could be terminated by the lenders, and all amounts outstanding pursuant to the credit facility could become immediately payable. Other Lines of Credit In addition to the 2015 Revolving Facility discussed above, certain subsidiaries of the Company had committed short-term lines of credit with a foreign bank aggregating approximately $3.0 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under these short-term lines of credit of $0.9 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Exchangeable Unsecured Notes, due 2102 By reason of the spin-off, Vishay Intertechnology was required to take action so that the existing exchangeable notes of Vishay Intertechnology were deemed exchanged as of the date of the spin-off, for a combination of new notes of Vishay Intertechnology and notes issued by VPG. VPG assumed the liability for an aggregate $10.0 million principal amount of exchangeable notes effective July 6, 2010. The maturity date of the notes was December 13, 2102. Effective February 26, 2018, the holder of the Company's exchangeable notes exercised its option to exchange the remaining $2.8 million principal amount of the notes for 123,808 shares of VPG common stock at the contractual put/call rate of $22.57 per share. Following these transactions, all exchangeable notes have been canceled and VPG has no further obligations pursuant to such notes. (See also Note 13). Other Debt Other debt consists of debt held by VPG’s Japanese subsidiary and is payable monthly over the next 3 years at a zero percent interest rate. Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt are as follows (in thousands):
