(B) Includes letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $1.9 million, which supports the remediation of environmental conditions at certain locations in SJG's service territory.

(C) Includes letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $1.0 million, which supports ETG's construction activity.

For SJI and SJG, the amount of usage shown in the table above, less the letters of credit noted in (A)-(C) for SJI and (B) for SJG above, equals the amounts recorded as Notes Payable on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

SJI, SJG and ETG (collectively, the "Borrowers") have an unsecured, five-year master revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of banks, which expires on September 1, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with its terms. There have been no significant changes to the nature or balances of this Credit Facility, except for the usage shown in the table above, since December 31, 2021, which are described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

There have been no significant changes to the nature or balances of SJG's commercial paper program since December 31, 2021, which are described in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Although there can be no assurance, management believes that actions presently being taken to pay off or refinance the short-term debt and borrowings that are due within the next year will be successful, as the Company has been successful in refinancing debt in the past. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements to account for this uncertainty.

SJI, SJG and ETG were all in compliance with the financial covenants in their respective borrowing arrangements described herein and in Note 14 as of June 30, 2022.

The consummation of the Merger would constitute a "Change in Control" under the Revolving Credit Facility, and, as such, would create an event of default, resulting in amounts outstanding being payable. The Parent has secured a debt commitment letter to provide funding to repay, if necessary, any borrowings outstanding at the time of such a Change in Control. The
Company expects to take necessary steps in the future, which could include using the debt commitment letter, or securing additional funds, in order to avoid this default, which could result in additional interest to be paid.

The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings, which changes daily, were as follows:
