5.			Long-Term Debt

We have a revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) with borrowing capacity of up to $500 million. The Facility may be further increased to $550 million based on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement relating to the Facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Facility is available for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. Our obligations under the Facility are secured by 65% of the stock of our captive insurance subsidiary and are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries other than certain excluded subsidiaries. At June 30, 2021, our outstanding balance on the Facility was $369.4 million, and we had an outstanding $1.0 million letter of credit issued under the Facility, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $129.6 million.

The Facility matures on September 13, 2024. Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to an alternate base rate or LIBOR, at our option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on our leverage ratio, the applicable margin varies (1) in the case of LIBOR loans, from 1.50% to 2.25% and (2) in the case of alternate base rate loans, from 0.00% to 0.50%. The alternate base rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate most recently published in The Wall Street Journal, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 2.00%. We also pay an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Facility at a rate of 0.25% per year. The average interest rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 was 1.9%. Interest expense and unused commitment fees are recorded in other income (expense). Following early opt-in by us or our lenders or such other time as LIBOR rates have permanently or indefinitely ceased to be published by the regulatory supervisory authority of LIBOR, then LIBOR will be replaced by a rate per annum equal to the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or such other benchmark as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

The Facility contains both affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are customary for arrangements of this nature. Covenants include, but are not limited to, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, sell material assets, retire, redeem or otherwise reacquire our capital stock, acquire the capital stock or assets of another business, make investments and pay dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with financial covenants limiting our total funded debt, minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2021.
