6. Debt

Consolidated debt at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 was as follows (in thousands):

The revolving credit facility and notes detailed in the table above are senior indebtedness.

     The face value of our debt at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012 was $2.1 billion. The difference between the face value and carrying value of the debt outstanding is the unamortized portion of various terminated fair value hedges and the unamortized discounts and premiums on debt issuances. Realized gains and losses on fair value hedges and note discounts and premiums are being amortized or accreted to the applicable notes over the respective lives of those notes.

     Revolving Credit Facility. The total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which matures in October 2016, is $800.0 million. Borrowings under the facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 0.875% to 1.75% based on our credit ratings and amounts outstanding under the facility. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate from 0.125% to 0.3%, depending on our credit ratings, which was 0.2% at June 30, 2012. Borrowings under this facility may be used for general purposes, including capital expenditures. As of June 30, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility and $5.0 million was obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under the facility.
