Our U.S. revolving credit facility, which matures on October 27, 2027, has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $400,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Our loan agreement includes a $250,000 term loan, with installment payments of $3,125 in 2026, $9,375 in 2027 and the remaining balance on the maturity date of October 27, 2027. Additional principal payments may be required under certain conditions. The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay down outstanding revolver borrowings of the U.S. revolving credit facility. Interest on our outstanding U.S. revolving credit facility and term loan borrowings are based on SOFR plus the applicable margin. The U.S. revolving credit facility and term loan are secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets and contain various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage. We are in compliance with all covenants.

The SECT has a revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $25,000. On December 1, 2025, the SECT amended the revolving credit facility and extended the maturity date from October 26, 2026 to April 24, 2027. Interest is based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material.

We have $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due December 15, 2027 with interest paid semiannually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. We are in compliance with all covenants.
