	(8)	Indebtedness
		On February 1, 2018, the Company, as the borrower, entered into an unsecured $70 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial lender, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders from time to time party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company’s prior credit agreement.
		On December 31, 2020, the Company, as the borrower, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and sole lender, entered into a First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated February 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Restated Credit Agreement”).
		The First Amendment amended the Restated Credit Agreement by (i) extending the scheduled maturity date from February 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025, and (ii) creating procedures and guidelines for establishing a successor benchmark rate if LIBOR ceases to be available during the term of the revolving credit facility. The Restated Credit Agreement called for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate less a margin that ranges from 0.25% to zero. The First Amendment calls for interest of LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% or, at the discretion of the Company, the bank’s prime rate plus a margin that ranges from zero to 0.25%. In both cases the applicable margin remains dependent upon Company performance. The First Amendment also added certain representations and covenants concerning compliance by the Company with legal requirements.

The credit facilities under the Restated Credit Agreement consist of a $20 million unsecured term loan to the Company and an unsecured revolving credit facility, under which the Company may borrow up to $50 million. The proceeds of the Restated Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, as well as permitted acquisitions. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Under the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to a minimum fixed-charge coverage financial covenant as well as a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA financial covenant. The Restated Credit Agreement contains other covenants customary for transactions of this type, including restrictions on certain payments, permitted indebtedness and permitted investments. As of December 31, 2020, there were $0.7 million in standby letters of credit outstanding, drawable as a financial guarantee on worker’s compensation insurance policies. As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding, the applicable interest rate was approximately 1.15% and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company used interest-rate-related derivative instruments to manage its exposure related to changes in interest rates on certain of its variable-rate debt instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging. Derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, creating credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, in these circumstances the Company is not exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk. The Company minimizes counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with carefully selected major financial institutions based upon their credit profile. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a derivative instrument that results from a change in interest rates.

The Company assesses interest rate risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company’s debt obligations exposed the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company believed that it was prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $20 million, 5-year interest rate swap agreement under which the Company receives three-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin and pays a 2.7% fixed rate plus the applicable margin. The swap modified the Company’s interest rate exposure by converting the term loan from a variable rate to a fixed rate in order to hedge against the possibility of rising interest rates during the term of the loan. The notional amount was $11,428,568 at December 31, 2020. The fair value of the swap as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $(465) thousand and is included in other liabilities. Changes in the fair value and net cash settlement amounts related to the swap are recorded in other expense and resulted in expense of approximately $366 thousand and $388 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As the Company has paid the remaining balance of the term loan in its entirety, there is no longer underlying debt to hedge against with the swap. The changes in the fair value of the swap will continue to be accounted for as a financial instrument until the sooner of the time that the Company elects to cancel it or until its maturity.
