        The Company maintains letters of credit that guarantee its performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding were approximately $34.8 million as of December 31, 2012 and $34.9 million as of December 31, 2011. The Company's letters of credit are primarily associated with insurance coverage and, to a lesser extent, foreign purchases. The Company's letters of credit generally expire within one year of issuance and are drawn down against the revolving credit facility. These instruments may exist or expire without being drawn down. Therefore, they do not necessarily represent future cash flow obligations.

        On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued senior notes of $75.0 million in principal, due June 18, 2020. The Company will pay interest on the outstanding balance of the Notes at the rate of 5.05% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 18 and December 18 until the principal on the Notes shall become due and payable. The Company may, at its option, upon notice, and subject to the terms of the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount (which is dependent upon the yield of respective U.S. Treasury securities). The 2010 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement.

        On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company who become borrowers under the Credit Agreement, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and the other lenders referred to therein. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional $150 million under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a sublimit of up to $75.0 million in letters of credit. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.70% to 2.30%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio plus, in the case of certain lenders, a mandatory cost calculated in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its "prime rate," and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.70% to 1.30%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest under the Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, a facility fee and letter of credit fees. The Credit Agreement expires on June 18, 2015. The Company may repay loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

        Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and had $265.4 million of unused and available credit under the Credit Agreement, $34.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Credit Agreement and no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

        On April 27, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of $225.0 million of 5.85% senior unsecured notes due April 2016 (the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement). The 2006 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. Events of default under the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement include failure to comply with its financial and operational covenants, as well as bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The Company may, at its option, upon notice to the note holders, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1.0 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount, which is dependent upon the yield of respective U.S. Treasury securities. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement. The payment of interest on the senior unsecured notes is due semi-annually on April 30th and October 30th of each year.

        On May 15, 2003, the Company completed a private placement of $125.0 million of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million principal amount of 4.87% senior notes due 2010 and $75.0 million principal amount of 5.47% senior notes due May 2013. The payment of interest on the senior unsecured notes is due semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th of each year. In May 2010, the Company repaid $50.0 million in principal of 4.87% senior notes due upon maturity. As of December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the note purchase agreement. The Company expects to pay off the 2013 notes with existing cash, use its line of credit, or a combination of both.
