BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS	NOTE B. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS Credit Facility We have a credit facility which provides for a $500,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit (“revolver”) and a $300,000,000 unsecured term loan facility (“term loan”). The revolver may be used to borrow revolving loans or request the issuance of letters of credit. We may, upon notice to the administrative agent, request existing or new lenders, at such lenders’ option, to increase the revolver by up to $250,000,000 to provide for a total of $750,000,000 of unsecured revolving credit. In May 2020, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”), which, among other changes, extends the maturity date and amends the interest rate of the term loan, modifies covenants under the credit facility, and maintains the maturity date and interest rate of the revolver. The term loan now matures on January 8, 2022, at which time all outstanding principal and any accrued interest must be repaid. Under the Credit Facility Amendment, the interest rate applicable to the credit facility is variable, and may be elected by us as: (i) the LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio ranging from 0.91% to 1.775% for a revolver borrowing, and 1.75% to 2.5% for the term loan, or (ii) a base rate as defined in the credit facility, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0% to 0.775% for a revolver borrowing, and 0.75% to 1.5% for the term loan. We had no borrowings during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and for year-to-date fiscal 2020, we had borrowings of $487,823,000 under the revolver (at a year-to-date weighted average interest rate of 2.47 %), all of which were repaid in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Additionally, as of November 1, 2020, $12,486,000 in issued but undrawn standby letters of credit were outstanding under the revolver. The standby letters of credit were primarily issued to secure the liabilities associated with workers’ compensation and other insurance programs. During the third quarter and for year-to-date fiscal 2019, we had borrowings of $100,000,000 under the revolver (at a year-to-date weighted average interest rate of 3.12%). The revolver matures on January 8, 2023, at which time all outstanding borrowings must be repaid and all outstanding letters of credit must be cash collateralized. We may elect to extend the maturity date for an additional year, subject to lender approval. As of November 1, 2020, we had $300,000,000 outstanding under our term loan (at a year-to-date weighted average interest rate of 2.88%). Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the term loan are presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In addition to the Credit Facility Amendment, during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 we entered into a new agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) for an additional $200,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit. Under the 364-Day Credit Agreement, the interest rate is variable and may be elected by us as: (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio ranging from 1.75% to 2.5% or (ii) a base rate as defined in the agreement, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.5%. The 364-Day Credit Agreement matures on May 10, 2021. During the third quarter and for year-to-date fiscal 2020, we had no borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Credit Facility Amendment and the 364-Day Credit Agreement contain certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, a financial covenant requiring a maximum leverage ratio (funded debt adjusted for lease and rent expense to earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation, amortization and rent expense), and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, merge or consolidate, and dispose of assets. As of November 1, 2020, we were in compliance with our covenants under our credit facilities and based on current projections, we expect to remain in compliance throughout the next 12 months. Letter of Credit Facilities On August 23 , 2020 , we renewed all three of our letter of credit facilities and reduced the aggregate credit available under these facilities from $70,000,000 to $35,000,000 due to our lower level of usage, and extended each facility’s maturity date until August 22, 2021 . The letter of credit facilities contain covenants that are consistent with our credit facility. Interest on unreimbursed amounts under the letter of credit facilities accrues at a base rate as defined in the credit facility, plus an applicable margin based on our leverage ratio. As of November 1, 2020, an aggregate of $9,075,000 was outstanding under the letter of credit facilities, which represents only a future commitment to fund inventory purchases to which we had not taken legal title. The latest expiration date possible for any future letters of credit issued under the facilities is January 19, 2022.
