Credit Facility

On September 28, 2021, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides a $1,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on September 28, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this “Credit Facility” section but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of the four fiscal quarters of the Company most recently ended, is required to be no greater than 3.50 to 1.00; provided, however, that during the Covenant Relief Period through December 31, 2022 (unless the Company elects to terminate the Covenant Relief Period earlier in accordance with the Credit Agreement), the Company’s Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio cannot exceed the levels set forth below:

	No greater than
(i) for the quarter ending September 30, 2022	4.25 to 1.00
(ii) for the quarter ending December 31, 2022	3.75 to 1.00

During the Covenant Relief Period, common stock dividends and share repurchases (see Note H) are permitted only if no loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding at the time and are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500 during the year ending December 31, 2022. Common stock dividends and share repurchases were $377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, and no amounts were borrowed during 2022 or 2021 under the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
