The Company's primary credit facility is a syndicated multicurrency credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, and certain other financial institutions as lenders. The Company's maximum principal amount for revolving credit borrowings is $175,000, which can be increased to $225,000 at the Company's option if the lenders agree to increase their commitments and the Company satisfies certain conditions. The maturity date of the Company's credit line is June 2014.

In May 2008, the Company entered into a financing agreement to issue a $10,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bond (“IDRB”) to finance the expansion of the Company's Middletown, Ohio manufacturing facility. Proceeds from the bond issuance were restricted and could only be used only for capital expenditures related to the expansion. Of the $10,000 received from the bond issuance, all had been expended as of December 31, 2010.

In addition to the IDRB, the Company's Middletown, Ohio expansion project was also financed by a low interest rate $3,500 loan from the Ohio Department of Development. Principal repayment on this loan began in September 2010 with its final maturity being in 2021. The current interest rate of 1% will rise to 2% beginning January 1, 2014 and to 3% beginning January 1, 2019 until final maturity.

The provisions of the agreements require that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $12,200 and $28,500 outstanding on these credit lines at a weighted average borrowing rate of 1.96% and 2.06% (LIBOR plus a spread), respectively. The Company had entered into interest rate swaps in order to fix a portion of its variable rate debt and mitigate the risks associated with higher interest rates. The combined notional value of the swaps was $15,000 at December 31, 2011. The Company's swaps matured in 2012.

At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amounts at which the Company's debt is recorded are not materially different from their fair market value.
