The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility).  The Trade Receivable Facility, with SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, PNC Bank, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD. (New York Branch), and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined, and is limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined.  These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary by the Company.  The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary.  Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 0.725%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lender’s cost of lending.  The Trade Receivable Facility, which contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements, matures on September 25, 2019.

The Company has a $700 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility), which expires on December 5, 2023, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto.  Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at rates based upon LIBOR or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. There were no borrowings outstanding of the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during such quarter or the three preceding quarters so

long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million, for purposes of the covenant calculation.  The Company was in compliance with this Ratio at June 30, 2019.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility.  The Company had $2.3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Floating Senior Rate Notes due 2019 and Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2020 are classified as noncurrent long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the notes on a long-term basis under the Revolving Facility.
