Interest payments are due (a) with respect to any ABR Loan on the last day of each March, June, September and December and (b) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of more than 3 months’ duration, each day that would have been an Interest Payment Date had successive Interest Periods of 3 months’ duration been applicable to such Borrowing. Any outstanding principal amount under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility is due on April 30, 2023.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are found as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2021.
