As of September 30, 2013, we have committed credit facilities with two banks. These include a $175 million four-year credit facility which will expire on May 31, 2016, and a $75 million five-year credit facility which will expire on May 31, 2017. Borrowings under these credit facilities bear variable interest (0.85% at September 30, 2013) based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). As of September 30, 2013, we had $50 million outstanding under these credit facilities with banks. The $250 million of credit available under these facilities is further reduced by $34.0 million in standby letters of credit under which we are obligated. Each of the debt agreements includes, among other things, two financial covenants requiring us (i) not to exceed a maximum ratio of total debt to total capitalization and (ii) not to exceed a maximum ratio of total funded debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (as such terms are defined in each credit facility). At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants.

At September 30, 2013, the aggregate future maturities of long-term debt by year are as follows (in thousands):



2013	$	—
2014	—
2015	—
2016	50,000
Total	$	50,000

The carrying amounts of our long-term debt approximate fair value due to the duration of the notes and the variable interest rates.
