As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $596.2 million of availability remaining under the credit facility.

In October 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to issue and sell in a private placement, ten-year Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million and a fixed interest obligation of 3.67% ("3.67% Senior Notes") under a Note Purchase Agreement among the Company and accredited institutional investors (the "Agreement"). The 3.67% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The 3.67% Senior Notes mature in December 2022. Interest is payable semi-annually in June and December of each year, beginning in June 2013. The Company may at any time prepay the 3.67% Senior Notes, in whole or in part (but in an amount not less than 10% of the original aggregate principal amount), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a "make-whole" prepayment premium. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the Agreement), the Company may be required to offer to prepay the 3.67% Senior Notes in whole at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for agreements of this type including, among others, limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to incurrence of liens and priority indebtedness, disposition of assets, mergers, and transactions with affiliates. The Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.5 to 1.0 and a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0. The Agreement contains customary events of default with customary grace periods, as applicable.

Issuance costs approximating $0.3 million will be amortized to interest expense over the 10-year term of the 3.67% Senior Notes.
