On June 17, 2022, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, the several banks and other financial institutions and lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America), as administrative agent and collateral agent (the New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility replaced the Company's Credit Agreement made and entered into as of September 5, 2018, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, various banks, other financial institutions and lenders and Bank of America, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which established a $800.0 million revolving credit facility for the Company (as amended to date, the 2018 Credit Agreement"). Under the New Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to $700.0 million, which includes a $25 million swing line subfacility, as well as an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the New Credit Facility by a total of up to $200.0 million plus any additional amount that would not cause the Company to exceed a set consolidated senior secured leverage ratio level, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions.

The New Credit Facility includes a $75.0 million letter of credit subfacility. At the Company's election, the borrowings under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to the highest of Bank of America's prime rate or a rate 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate 1.0% in excess of one-month Term SOFR (the Base Rate"), in each case plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one-, three-, or six-month per annum Term SOFR (the Term SOFR Rate"), as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans depends on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio and varies from 0.00% to 1.00%.

The applicable margin for Term SOFR Rate loans depends on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio and varies from 1.00% to 2.00%. Principal is payable in full at maturity on June 17, 2027, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The borrowings under the New Credit Facility are secured by guarantees from all of the subsidiary guarantors and substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiary guarantors, including all present and future stock or other ownership interests in the present and future subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

If an event of default occurs under the New Credit Facility, the entire principal amount outstanding under the New Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of applicable cure periods. The New Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation, a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. The New Credit Facility also imposes restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company is permitted to pay and the amount of shares the Company is permitted to repurchase.

Under the New Credit Facility, provided there is no default existing and the total of the Company's availability under the New Credit Facility plus the Company's cash and cash equivalents on hand is at least $100.0 million (the Cash Availability"), the Company may declare and pay cash dividends on shares of its common stock and repurchase shares of its common stock (1) in an unlimited amount if, at the time such dividend or repurchase is made, the Company's consolidated senior secured leverage ratio is 2.75 to 1.00 or less or (2) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million in any fiscal year if the Company's senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 2.75 to 1.00 at the time the dividend or repurchase is made. However, notwithstanding (1) and (2), so long as immediately after giving effect to the payment of any such dividends, Cash Availability is at least $100.0 million, the Company may declare and pay cash dividends on shares of its common stock in an aggregate amount not to exceed in any fiscal year the product of the aggregate amount of dividends declared in the fourth quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year multiplied by four.
