As of December 31, 2011, there was approximately $199.8 million of undrawn availability under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced to the extent of outstanding letters of credit.

On April 15, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, that provides for a $700 million senior secured credit facility comprised of a $300 million, five-year term loan and a $400 million, five-year revolving credit facility, including a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit, a $10 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $150 million sublimit for multicurrency borrowings approved under the credit facility.

The interest rate on the credit facility is subject to a leverage-based pricing grid based on LIBOR plus a margin between 1.25% and 2.00%. As of December 31, 2011, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 2.05% and the interest rate on the term loan was approximately 3.83%, after giving effect to the floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps discussed below.

Under the credit facility, the term loan requires quarterly principal reductions in an amount equal to 1.25% of the effective date term loan amount, or $3,750,000, through March 2013; an amount equal to 1.875% of the effective date term loan amount, or $5,625,000, through March 2014; an amount equal to 2.50% of the effective date term loan amount, or $7,500,000, from June 2014 until the term loan’s maturity in May 2016 upon when the remaining outstanding principal balance of $187,500,000 is due.

The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestic property and is guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, excluding any noncontrolling interests, and is secured by a pledge agreement.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the fair value of long-term debt approximated the carrying value.

The credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability and certain of its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into certain acquisitions, repurchase equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, issue or sell equity interests of our subsidiaries, engage in mergers or acquisitions or certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates, and that otherwise restrict corporate activities.

The financial covenants under the credit facility consist of a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The leverage ratio is computed as total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter divided by the trailing twelve months Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), excluding certain cash and non-cash charges. The interest coverage ratio is computed as EBITDA for the trailing twelve months divided by the trailing twelve months of interest charges.

A breach of any of the covenants or the inability to comply with the required financial ratios could result in a default under the credit facility. In the event of any such default, the lenders could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding under the credit facility, together with any accrued interest and other fees, to be due and payable. If the Company were unable to repay the indebtedness upon its acceleration, the lenders could proceed against the underlying collateral. The Company was in compliance with all of the credit facility covenants as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Effective December 2008, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with an original notional value of $218.8 million and a maturity date of September 26, 2012 to fix floating LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt at an interest rate of 1.89%. Effective June 2011, the Company entered into a second floating-to-fixed rate swap agreement with an original notional value of $165.0 million and a maturity date of May 13, 2016 to fix a portion of the floating LIBOR based debt under the new term loan to fixed rate debt at an interest rate of 2.09%. At December 31, 2011, the combined swap agreements had a notional value of $288.8 million.

The Company has documented and designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on the assessment of effectiveness using statistical regression, the Company determined that the interest rate swaps are effective. Effectiveness testing of the hedge relationships and measurement to quantify ineffectiveness is performed each quarter using the hypothetical derivative method. As the interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges, the Company adjusts the cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis to their fair value with a corresponding offset to accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). The interest rate swaps have been and are expected to remain highly effective for the life of the hedges. Effective amounts are reclassified to interest expense as the related hedged expense is incurred. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (expense). As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no ineffectiveness on its cash flow hedges. Amounts related to the swaps expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense in the next twelve months total $4.3 million.
