NOTE 10 - LONG-TERM DEBT

On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into the Restated Credit Agreement with a group of lenders with (a) PNC Bank, National Association as the Administrative Agent and (b) PNC Capital Markets LLC, BOFA Securities, Inc., TD Securities (USA) LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Citizens Bank, N.A., as joint lead arrangers. The various facilities under the Restated Credit Agreement are referred to as the “Credit Facility”. The Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s prior credit agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) to, among other things: (a) maintain the existing $600 million revolving credit facility (together and inclusive of a $75 million swing line sublimit and $100 million sublimit for letters of credit); (b) increase the existing term loan facility from $200 million to $300 million; (c) provide for a new delayed draw term loan facility of $400 million; (d) maintain the existing incremental credit facility to make, subject to approval of the lenders making such loans, incremental term or revolving credit loan(s) in the aggregate principal amount of not more than $300 million; (e) increase the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) from 4.00 to 1.00 to 4.50 to 1.00 (with temporary increases to 5.00 to 1.00 for the three fiscal quarters following a “Material Permitted Acquisition”, as such term is defined in the Restated Credit Agreement); (f) maintain the minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) of 3.00 to 1.00; (g) increase the foreign currency debt limit in Euro and Sterling Pounds from $30 million equivalent to $200 million equivalent; (h) modify LIBOR based interest pricing conventions with SOFR based interest pricing conventions; (i) extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility until May 6, 2027; (j) incorporate various provisions and conventions encouraged by the Loan Syndication and Trade Association; and (k) modify certain definitions and certain covenants.

Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company may, at its discretion, borrow funds under the Credit Facility at interest rates based on both term SOFR (i.e., 1, 3, or 6-month rates) and the Base Rate (as defined herein), plus their applicable margins. The Base Rate is a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (a) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement), plus 0.5%, (b) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) and (c) the Daily Simple SOFR Rate (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) plus 1%, all as then adjusted to include the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) as then in effect (and as determined pursuant to the then-current Consolidated Leverage Ratio). For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.7% and 3.3%, respectively. Inclusive of the impact of floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (see “Note 12 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”), the average interest rate was 5.6% and 3.7% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants including, but not limited to the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its covenants. The Credit Facility also includes other terms and conditions, covenants, and other provisions of the Restated Credit Agreement that are materially consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $430.4 million (net of unamortized debt issuance costs) of long-term debt outstanding from the Credit Facility, unused delayed draw term loan facility of $180.0 million (available through January 5, 2024), and unused borrowing capacity of $591.9 million from the available $600.0 million revolving line of credit under the Credit Facility. The unused borrowing capacity is inclusive of five outstanding letters of credit totaling $1.8 million. Considering the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity was $575.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, long-term debt consisted of the following:
