Borrowings under the bank credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries and bear interest at the Company's option, at either adjusted SOFR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or an alternative base rate plus 0.75% to 1.75%, in each case depending on the utilization of the borrowing base.
