________________________________

(*)     Represents the fair value adjustments for interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0 million. These interest rate swaps convert the fixed interest rates of certain Notes to floating interest rates and are designated as fair value hedges. See Note 4, Derivative Instruments, for a discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps.

The Notes above are the Company’s senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, ranking equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes.

Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semiannually. The effective interest rates for the Notes include the interest on the Notes, accretion of the discount, and amortization of issuance costs. The indenture and the supplemental indentures (together, the "indentures") that govern the Notes also contain various covenants, including limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens or enter into sale-leaseback transactions over certain dollar thresholds.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the indentures governing the Notes.

Revolving Credit Facility

In June 2023, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with certain institutional lenders that provides for a five-year $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), with an option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by up to an additional $200.0 million, subject to the lenders' approval. Proceeds of loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility will terminate in June 2028, subject to two one-year maturity extension options, on the terms and conditions set forth in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Revolving loans will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a per annum rate equal to (x) with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), (y) with respect to borrowings in Euros, the adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"), and (z) with respect to borrowings in pounds sterling, daily simple Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), in each case, plus a margin of between 0.875% and 1.500%, depending on the Company’s public debt rating, or (ii) with respect to borrowings in U.S. dollars, a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus a margin of between 0.000% and 0.500%, depending on the Company’s public debt rating. Base Rate is defined as the greatest of (A) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (B) the greater of the U.S. federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.500% and (C) the adjusted term SOFR for a period of one month plus 1.00%. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires payment of a commitment fee on undrawn amounts at a rate of 0.075% to 0.225%, depending on the Company’s public debt rating.

The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 3.0x (provided that if a material acquisition has been consummated, the Company is permitted to maintain a leverage ratio no greater than 3.5x for up to four quarters). As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the credit agreement.
