(3)  Long-Term Debt

We maintain a credit agreement that provides for an unsecured committed credit facility which matures in May 2016.  The aggregate principal amount of the credit facility of $50 million may be increased at our option, subject to completion of signed amendments with the lender, up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $75 million.  At March 31, 2012, there was no outstanding principal balance on the credit facility.  As of that date, we had outstanding standby letters of credit of $8.9 million and remaining borrowing availability of $41.1 million.  This facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or the lender’s Prime Rate, in each case plus/minus applicable margins.
