H.                       On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018.

 

Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement, at June 30, 2014, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $1.2 billion.  Additionally, at June 30, 2014, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $897 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.

 

In order for the Company to borrow under the Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company’s covenants in the Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and the Company’s representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2012, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency).  The Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at June 30, 2014.
