(1)The MBFC Loan is unsecured and bears floating interest based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of up to 2.0%, or a Base Rate plus a margin of up to 1.0%, as determined by the interest rate elected and the Net Leverage Ratio defined in the loan agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding was 1.1% at both November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021.

(2)The Credit Agreement (defined below) is unsecured and bears floating interest at either the Base Rate or LIBOR, plus a margin based on the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 0% to 1.0% and 1.0% to 2.0% for Base Rate and LIBOR borrowings, respectively. These floating interest rates are hedged with interest rate swaps to effectively fix interest rates on $225 million of the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Agreement (see Notes 10, 11, and 12 for additional information regarding interest rate swaps).
