In March 2019, we entered into a new senior unsecured, multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that replaced our prior revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in October 2020. The Credit Agreement, which expires in March 2024, contains a senior unsecured, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of $300.0 million, with sublimits of up to $30.0 million for swing line loans for domestic borrowers in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) and a $20.0 million swing line loan for our German Holding Company and up to $30.0 million for the issuance of standby letters of credit, which Credit Facility may be increased from time-to-time by the greater of $350.0 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the preceding twelve month period in the aggregate through an increase in the Credit Facility, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either the base rate (the per annum interest rate of the highest of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points or the daily London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 1.00%) or at the applicable LIBOR rate, plus a tiered margin based on the ratio of our net consolidated debt to our modified EBITDA, ranging from 0 to 37.5 basis points for base rate loans and 87.5 to 137.5 basis points for LIBOR rate loans. The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants providing that we shall not permit the ratio of our net consolidated debt to our modified EBITDA to be greater than 3.5 to 1; provided that, no more than three times during the term of the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence of a qualified acquisition for each of our four fiscal quarters immediately following such qualified acquisition, the ratio shall be increased to 4.0 to 1. The Credit Agreement also contains customary limitations on liens securing our indebtedness, fundamental changes (mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions), asset sales, distributions and acquisitions. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, were recorded in other noncurrent assets and are being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. A portion of these costs relate to our prior revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2019, we had $27.6 million in outstanding long-term borrowings under the Credit Facility, of which $4.6 million was denominated in Japanese Yen (“Yen”) and $23.0 million was denominated in Euro. These borrowings, together with outstanding letters of credit of $2.5 million, resulted in a borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility of $269.9 million at September 30, 2019. Please refer to Note 9, Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of the foreign currency hedges associated with the Credit Facility.
