Debt And Credit Agreements 7. DEBT AND CREDIT AGREEMENTS
On June 29, 2022, Tredegar entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that replaced its existing $375 million five-year, secured revolving credit facility that was due to expire on June 28, 2024. The Credit Agreement is a five-year, revolving, secured credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of $375 million and matures on June 29, 2027.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points ("Adjusted Term SOFR Rate") and an amount depending on the type of borrowing and commitment fees charged on the unused amount under the Credit Agreement at various Total Net Leverage Ratio levels as follows:

>2.0x but <=3.0x175.0 30 
>3.0x but <=3.5x187.5 35 
>3.5x200.0 40 
At December 31, 2022, $137.0 million of the outstanding debt was principally priced at an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus the applicable credit spread of 162.5 basis points. Prior to the Credit Agreement, the interest rate on borrowings was based on London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus an applicable credit spread.
The primary restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement include:
Total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.00x;
Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.00x; and
Unlimited payments for dividends and stock repurchases during the term of the Credit Agreement so long as the Total Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 2.00x, and otherwise restrictions on payments for dividends and stock repurchases for the term of the Credit Agreement at $75 million (provided that the $75 million basket will reset at the end of each fiscal quarter when the Total Net Leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.00x).
Under the Credit Agreement:
Total Net Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a)(i) total indebtedness minus (ii) liquidity (the lesser of $50,000,000 and the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents) to (b) EBITDA (as defined in Credit Agreement "Credit EBITDA"); and
Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Credit EBITDA to interest expense.
The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2022, based upon the most restrictive covenant within the Credit Agreement, available credit under the Credit Agreement was approximately $201 million. Tredegar was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of December 31, 2022.
