14. Debt

The Company's debt consists of the following:

 

The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were based upon the interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's debt was less than its book value by approximately $229.8 million and greater than its book value by approximately $259.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

 

On June 1, 2011, the Company issued $600.0 million of 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2011. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $216.2 million of the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019, $100 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017 and $100 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured and committed revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). On September 28, 2011, the Company repurchased an additional $11.6 million of the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019. The repurchases resulted in pre-tax losses on debt extinguishment of $1.3 million and $69.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Interest income was $2.9 million and $9.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Interest income was $1.9 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
