The Company did not borrow funds under its $400 million senior unsecured domestic credit facility during the first six months of 2012, although approximately $7 million has been utilized to support the issuance of letters of credit. This credit facility requires the Company to maintain a leverage ratio (consolidated total indebtedness net of cash on hand in excess of $50 million, divided by consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash pension expense) of not greater than 3.25, and maintain an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, and non-cash pension expense divided by interest expense) of not less than 2.0. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the leverage ratio was 2.05, and the interest coverage ratio was 5.58.

The Company has an additional separate credit facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of June 30, 2012, $32 million in letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.

In addition, Shanghai STAL Precision Stainless Steel Company Limited (STAL), the Company's Chinese joint venture company in which ATI has a 60% interest, has a 205 million renminbi (approximately $32 million at June 30, 2012 exchange rates) revolving credit facility with a group of banks, which expires in August 2014. This credit facility is supported solely by STAL's financial capability without any guarantees from the joint venture partners. As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings under this credit facility.

The ATI Ladish Series B and Series C Notes are guaranteed by ATI and are equally ranked with all of ATI's existing and future senior unsecured debt.
