5.   Long-Term Debt
On March 1, 2011, we replaced our existing credit agreement with our Revolving Credit Facility ("2011 Credit Agreement").  Terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement consist of a five-year, $350 million revolving credit facility.  This 2011 Credit Agreement has a floating interest rate that is currently LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  The 2011 Credit Agreement also includes a $150 million expansion feature.  Debt issuance costs associated with the existing credit agreement were not material.   The 2011 Credit Agreement contains the following quarterly financial covenants:

We are in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2011.  We have issued $29.5 million in standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2011 for insurance purposes.  Issued letters of credit reduce our available credit under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  As of September 30, 2011, we have approximately $320.5 million of unused lines of credit available and eligible to be drawn down under our revolving credit facility, excluding the $150 million expansion feature.
