United States credit facility

In connection with the spin-off, we entered into a credit agreement on May 11, 2015 (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $600 million, which is scheduled to mature on June 30, 2020. The proceeds of loans under the Credit Agreement are available for working capital needs, issuance of letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

On February 24, 2017, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment” and the Credit Agreement, as amended to date, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other things: (i) provide financial covenant relief by amending the definition of EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) to exclude up to $98.1 million of losses for certain Renewable segment contracts for the year ended December 31, 2016; (ii) increase the maximum permitted leverage ratio to 3.50 to 1.00 during the covenant relief period; (iii) limit our ability to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement during the covenant relief period to $300.0 million in the aggregate; (iv) increase the pricing for borrowings, letters of credit and commitment fees under the Amended Credit Agreement during the covenant relief period; (v) limit our ability to incur debt and liens during the covenant relief period; (vi) limit our ability to make acquisitions and investments in third parties during the covenant relief period; (vii) prohibit us from making dividends and stock redemptions during the covenant relief period; (viii) prohibit us from exercising the accordion described below during the covenant relief period; (ix) limit our financial letters of credit outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement to $30.0 million during the covenant relief period; and (x) require us to reduce commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement with the proceeds of certain debt issuances and asset sales. The covenant relief period will end, at our election, when the conditions set forth in the Amendment are satisfied, but in no event earlier than the date on which we provide the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017.

Other than during the covenant relief period described above, the Amended Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of increased commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from new lenders, to increase the amount of the commitments under the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $200 million plus (ii) an unlimited amount, so long as for any commitment increase under this subclause (ii) our senior secured leverage ratio (assuming the full amount of any commitment increase under this subclause (ii) is drawn) is equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0 after giving pro forma effect thereto. During the covenant relief period described above, our ability to exercise the accordion feature will be prohibited.

The Amended Credit Agreement and our obligations under certain hedging agreements and cash management agreements with our lenders and their affiliates are (i) guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, but excluding our captive insurance subsidiary, and (ii) secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by us and the guarantors. The Amended Credit Agreement requires interest payments on revolving loans on a periodic basis until maturity. We may prepay all loans at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to notice requirements. The Amended Credit Agreement requires us to make certain prepayments on any outstanding revolving loans after receipt of cash proceeds from certain asset sales or other events, subject to certain exceptions and a right to reinvest such proceeds in certain circumstances. During the covenant relief period described above, such prepayments may require us to reduce the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement by a corresponding amount of such prepayments. Following the covenant relief period described above, such prepayments will not require us to reduce the commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at our option at either (i) the LIBOR rate plus (a) during the covenant relief period described above, a margin of 2.50% per year, and (b) following the covenant relief period described above, a margin ranging from 1.375% to 1.875% per year, or (ii) the base rate (the highest of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, the one month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent's prime rate) plus (a) during the covenant relief period described above, a margin of 1.50% per year, and (b) following the covenant relief period described above, a margin ranging from 0.375% to 0.875% per year. A commitment fee is charged on the unused portions of the revolving credit facility, and that fee (A) during the covenant relief period described above, is 0.50% per year, and (B) following the covenant relief period described above, varies between 0.25% and 0.35% per year. Additionally, (I) during the covenant relief period, a letter of credit fee of 2.50% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit outstanding, and a letter of credit fee of 1.50% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit outstanding, and (II) following the covenant relief period described above, a letter of credit fee of between 1.375% and 1.875% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit outstanding, and a letter of credit fee of between 0.825% and 1.125% per year is charged with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit outstanding. Following the covenant relief period described above, the applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above vary quarterly based on our leverage ratio.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio (i) is 3.50 to 1.00 during the covenant relief period described above and (ii) is 3.00 to 1.00 following the covenant relief period described above (which ratio may be increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition). The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00 both during and following the covenant relief period described above. At March 31, 2017, our leverage ratio was 2.40 and our interest coverage ratio was 6.41.
In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales. At March 31, 2017, usage under the Amended Credit Agreement consisted of $90.0 million in borrowings at an effective interest rate of 3.4%, $7.5 million of financial letters of credit and $91.1 million of performance letters of credit. At March 31, 2017, we had $55.1 million available borrowing capacity based on trailing-twelve month EBITDA, as defined in our Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events with respect to us occurs under the Amended Credit Agreement, all obligations will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding. If any event of default occurs, the lenders are permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral. Additionally, if we are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement, we will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued. At March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all of the covenants set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement.

Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs associated with our United States credit facility are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We expect to amortize the deferred charges through June 30, 2020 as a component of interest expense.

Foreign revolving credit facilities

Outside of the United States, we have unsecured revolving credit facilities in Turkey, China and India that are used to provide working capital to our operations in each country. The revolving credit facilities in Turkey and India are a result of the July 1, 2016 acquisition of SPIG. These three foreign revolving credit facilities allow us to borrow up to $16.1 million in aggregate and each have a one year term. At March 31, 2017, we had $12.6 million in borrowings outstanding under these foreign revolving credit facilities at an effective weighted-average interest rate of 5.1%. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or insolvency events was to occur, all obligations will become due and payable.

Letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds

Certain subsidiaries have credit arrangements with various commercial banks and other financial institutions for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees associated with contracting activity. The aggregate value of all such letters of credit and bank guarantees not secured by the United States credit facility as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $296.7 million and $255.2 million, respectively.

We have posted surety bonds to support contractual obligations to customers relating to certain projects. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our surety bonding capacity, we believe our current capacity is more than adequate to support our existing project requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, these bonds generally indemnify customers should we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue in support of some of our contracting activity. As of March 31, 2017, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements in support of contracts totaled approximately $520.3 million.

Universal acquisition

In order to purchase Universal on January 11, 2017, we borrowed approximately $55.0 million under the United States credit facility in 2017.
