The Company’s credit agreement (the Credit Agreement)  provides for a multi-currency $300.0 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which may be increased by an additional $150.0 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. The Credit Agreement matures on June 18, 2015.

 

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. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests.  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. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Agreement and had $270.4 million of unused and available credit under the Credit Agreement and $29.6 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Credit Agreement.
