Senior Notes
On September 11, 2012, we completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022 ("Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 3.50% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2013. The Senior Notes were priced at 99.615% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate principal amount.

Senior Credit Facility
On October 4, 2013 we amended our existing credit agreement that provided for a $400.0 million term loan (“Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The significant amendments extend the maturity of our Senior Credit Facility by one year to October 4, 2018, increase the Revolving Credit Facility from $850.0 million to $1.0 billion and remove the $300.0 million sublimit for the issuance of performance letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility retains its $30.0 million sublimit for swing line loans and all other significant existing terms under the credit agreement remained unchanged. As of September 30, 2013 we had $196.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $118.4 million and $152.2 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which when included with the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility, reduced our borrowing capacity to $535.6 million and $697.8 million, respectively. Under our amended credit agreement and subject to certain conditions, we have the right to increase the amount of the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $400.0 million. Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. Such guarantees are released if we achieve certain credit ratings. We had not achieved these ratings as of September 30, 2013. Our compliance with applicable financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly, and we complied with all covenants at September 30, 2013.
We may prepay loans under our Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. A commitment fee, which is payable quarterly on the daily unused portions of the Senior Credit Facility, was 0.175% (per annum) during the period ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made scheduled repayments of $15.0 million under our Term Loan Facility. We have scheduled repayments of $10.0 million due in each of the next four quarters on our Senior Credit Facility. Our Senior Credit Facility bears a floating rate of interest, and we have entered into $170.0 million of notional amount of interest rate swaps at September 30, 2013 to hedge exposure to floating interest rates.

European Letter of Credit Facility
Due to the increased capacity and the removal of the performance letters of credit sublimit of the amended Revolving Credit Facility, we elected not to renew our 364-day unsecured, committed €125.0 million European Letter of Credit Facility ("European LOC Facility") used for contingent obligations in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations with maturities up to five years. The European LOC Facility will expire in October 2013. The remaining outstanding letters of credit will mature over the next five years. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC Facility of €74.3 million ($100.5 million) and €63.1 million ($83.3 million) as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
