8.375% Senior Notes due 2014
We have outstanding $3.6 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”). The 2014 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2014 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2014 Notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

The indenture governing the 2014 Notes contains various covenants. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions tied to the covenants of our 2011 Credit Facility (defined below). We were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2013.
6.75% Senior Notes due 2021
We issued $475.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Initial 2021 Notes”) on March 4, 2011 and issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes (the “Additional 2021 Notes” and together with the Initial 2021 Notes, the “2021 Notes”) in a private placement on March 8, 2012 under an indenture dated March 4, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated March 4, 2011 and amended by a further supplemental indenture dated March 8, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). We used the net proceeds to repay senior secured indebtedness under our revolving bank credit facility. We capitalized $4.6 million of financing costs associated with the issuance of the 2021 Notes that will be amortized over the term of the notes.
On March 5, 2013, we completed an offer to exchange the $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unregistered Additional 2021 Notes for an equal principal amount of such notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933. All of the 2021 Notes are treated as a single class under the Indenture and as of the closing of the exchange offers bear the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers.
The 2021 Notes are general unsecured senior obligations and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness. The 2021 Notes are or will be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on March 1, 2021.
On or after March 1, 2016, the 2021 Notes will be subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on March 1 of the years indicated below:

At any time and from time to time before March 1, 2014, we may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2021 Notes at a redemption price of 106.75% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from any one or more equity offerings provided that (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption and (ii) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.
In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to March 1, 2016, we may, at our option, redeem all or a portion of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium with respect to the 2021 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If we experience a change of control, subject to certain exceptions, we must give holders of the 2021 Notes the opportunity to sell to us their 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
We are subject to certain negative covenants under the Indenture. The Indenture limits our ability to, among other things:
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred equity interests;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem equity interests;
make loans and investments;
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
sell, transfer or otherwise convey assets;
create liens;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into agreements restricting subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends;
designate future subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the applicable entities’ assets.
These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, and contain cross-default provisions relating to the covenants of our 2011 Credit Facility discussed below. Substantially all of the covenants will terminate before the 2021 Notes mature if one of two specified ratings agencies assigns the 2021 Notes an investment grade rating in the future and no events of default exist under the Indenture. As of June 30, 2013, the 2021 Notes were below investment grade. Any covenants that cease to apply to us as a result of achieving an investment grade rating will not be restored, even if the credit rating assigned to the 2021 Notes later falls below investment grade. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2013.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
We are party to a $550.0 million senior secured revolving bank credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Capital One, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and DnB NOR Bank ASA, as Co-Documentation Agent (as amended, the “2011 Credit Facility”), which is an important source of liquidity for us. The 2011 Credit Facility consists of a revolving credit facility, letter of credit sub-facility and swing line facility, all of which will mature no later than March 31, 2016.
The maximum amount that we may borrow under the facility may be subject to limitation due to the operation of the covenants contained in the facility. The 2011 Credit Facility allows us to request increases in the total commitments under the facility by up to $100.0 million in the aggregate in part or in full anytime during the term of the 2011 Credit Facility, with any such increases being subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants in the 2011 Credit Facility and in the Indenture governing our 2021 Senior Notes, as well as lender approval.

We capitalized $4.9 million of financing costs in connection with the execution of the 2011 Credit Facility and an additional $1.4 million related to a subsequent amendment that will be amortized over the term of the debt.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the 2011 Credit Facility is, at our option, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus the applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (x) JPMorgan’s prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (z) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus in each case the applicable margin for all other loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges from 225 to 300 basis points, and the applicable margin for all other loans ranges from 125 to 200 basis points, depending upon our consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility. Unused commitment fees on the facility equal 0.50%.
The 2011 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, which, among other things, limit our annual capital expenditures, restrict our ability to repurchase shares and require us to maintain certain financial ratios. The financial ratios require that:
our ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to total capitalization be no greater than 45%;
our senior secured leverage ratio of senior secured funded debt to trailing four quarters of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, “EBITDA”) be no greater than 2.00 to 1.00;
we maintain a collateral coverage ratio, the ratio of the aggregate book value of the collateral to the amount of the total commitments, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 2:00 to 1:00;
we maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio of trailing four quarters EBITDA to interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00; and
we limit our capital expenditures and investments in foreign subsidiaries to $250.0 million per fiscal year, if the consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00.

In addition, the 2011 Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, restrictions on (i) liens; (ii) debt, guarantees and other contingent obligations; (iii) mergers and consolidations; (iv) sales, transfers and other dispositions of property or assets; (v) loans, acquisitions, joint ventures and other investments (with acquisitions permitted so long as, after giving pro forma effect thereto, no default or event of default exists under the 2011 Credit Facility, the pro forma consolidated total leverage ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, we are in compliance with other financial covenants and we have at least $25.0 million of availability under the 2011 Credit Facility); (vi) dividends and other distributions to, and redemptions and repurchases from, equity holders; (vii) making investments, loans or advances; (viii) selling properties; (ix) prepaying, redeeming or repurchasing subordinated (contractually or structurally) debt; (x) engaging in transactions with affiliates; (xi) entering into hedging arrangements; (xii) entering into sale and leaseback transactions; (xiii) granting negative pledges other than to the lenders; (xiv) changes in the nature of business; (xv) amending organizational documents; and (xvi) changes in accounting policies or reporting practices; in each of the foregoing cases, with certain exceptions.
We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2013. We may prepay the 2011 Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain reimbursements to the lenders for breakage and redeployment costs. As of June 30, 2013, we had borrowings of $185.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $54.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $310.9 million of available borrowing capacity subject to compliance with the debt to capitalization limitation under the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility was 2.67% and 2.70% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowing under the 2011 Credit Facility was 2.68% and 2.70% for six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
