On June 15, 2018, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “2018 NPA”) pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of $150.0 million in principal amount of unsecured senior notes, consisting of $100.0 million in principal amount of 4.05% Series A Senior Notes, due on June 15, 2025, and $50.0 million in principal amount of 4.22% Series B Senior Notes, due on June 15, 2028 (collectively, the “2018 Notes”), in a private placement. The 2018 NPA includes customary operational and financial covenants with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios such as a total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The 2018 Notes may be prepaid in whole

or in part at any time, subject to payment of a make-whole amount; interest on the 2018 Notes is payable semiannually. As of January 4, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the 2018 NPA.

On May 15, 2019, the Company refinanced its then-existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Prior Credit Facility") by entering into a new 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (collectively with the Prior Credit Facility, referred to as the "Credit Facility"), which expanded the maximum commitment from $300.0 million to $350.0 million and extended the maturity from July 5, 2021 to May 15, 2024. The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility may be further increased to $600.0 million, generally by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, subject to certain customary conditions. During the three months ended January 4, 2020, the highest daily borrowing was $164.5 million; the average daily borrowings were $128.1 million. The Company borrowed $156.5 million and repaid $189.5 million of revolving borrowings under the Credit Facility during the three months ended January 4, 2020. As of January 4, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Credit Agreement, which are generally consistent with those in the 2018 NPA discussed above. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the daily unused revolver credit commitment based on the Company's leverage ratio; the fee was 0.125% as of January 4, 2020.
