On November 14, 2017, SPH Group Holdings, Steel Excel, API Americas Inc., Handy & Harman Ltd. ("HNH") and Cedar 2015 Limited (collectively, the "Borrowers"), each a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") that consolidates a number of the Company's existing credit facilities into one combined, revolving credit facility covering substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries, with the exception of WebBank. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600,000 at March 31, 2018, which includes a $55,000 subfacility for swing line loans and a $50,000 subfacility for standby letters of credit. The Credit Agreement also permits the Borrowers, under certain circumstances, to increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $150,000. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Borrower's option, at annual rates of either the Base Rate or the Euro-Rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin as set forth in the Credit Agreement (1.00% and 2.00%, respectively, for Base Rate and Euro-Rate borrowings at March 31, 2018), and the Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee to be paid on unused borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on the Credit Agreement was 3.77% at March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, letters of credit totaling $10,837 had been issued under the Credit Agreement, including $3,724 of the letters of credit guaranteeing various insurance activities, and $7,113 for environmental and other matters. The Credit Agreement permits SPLP, the parent, to fund the dividends on its preferred units and its routine corporate expenses. The Company's total availability under the Credit Agreement, which is based upon earnings and certain covenants as described in the Credit Agreement, was approximately $69,700 as of March 31, 2018.

On April 27, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to allow the Company to (i) exercise its BW subscription rights discussed in Note 8 - "Investments," (ii) increase the maximum aggregate principal amount to $700,000, (iii) increase the defined leverage ratios under the Credit Agreement by 0.25 "turns" for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, and (v) make certain administrative changes.

The Credit Agreement will expire with all amounts outstanding due and payable, on November 14, 2022. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by substantially all existing and thereafter acquired assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, as defined in the agreement, and a pledge of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Borrowers' and Guarantors' subsidiaries, and is fully guaranteed by the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement is subject to certain mandatory prepayment provisions and restrictive and financial covenants, which include a maximum ratio limit on Total Leverage and a minimum ratio limit on Interest Coverage, as defined. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2018.
