On May 14, 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase the principal amount to $400,000 and to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility by up to an additional $100,000 provided certain conditions are satisfied and at the discretion of the lender. On August 31, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to change the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR. The Credit Agreement matures on February 14, 2025. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets, excluding real property.

On July 29, 2021, Prudential provided the Company notice pursuant to Section 1.2 of the Note Agreement that Prudential has authorized an increase in the amount of additional Senior Secured Notes that may be issued under the uncommitted shelf facility under the Note Agreement from $105,000 to $140,000, effective as of July 29, 2021.

The total aggregate principal amount includes $26,250 aggregate principal amount of 2041 Notes purchased by the initial purchasers in the offering pursuant to their exercise in full of their option to purchase additional notes under the purchase agreement for the offering.
