At June 30, 2012, the revolving credit facility had no outstanding loans, $163.5 million available to borrow and $86.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. There have been no changes to the revolving credit facility since December 31, 2011.

The financing arrangements and principal terms of the senior secured notes and the revolving credit facility are discussed further in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On July 13, 2012, the Company redeemed $30.0 million principal amount of the $520.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7.625% senior secured notes (the “2016 notes”) which were outstanding on June 30, 2012 in accordance with the terms of the 2016 notes. On July 16, 2012, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase any and all of the $490.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2016 notes which remained outstanding following such partial redemption. On July 30, 2012, the Company purchased the $339.1 million principal amount of 2016 notes which had been tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2012, and called for redemption on August 15, 2012 the $150.9 million principal amount of 2016 notes which had not by then been tendered. The Company financed that purchase and call for redemption of 2016 notes through a private placement of $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the “new notes”) which the Company also completed on July 30, 2012. The Company intends to use the approximately $262.8 million of remaining net proceeds from such private placement of the new notes to finance potential future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the tender offer and redemption of the 2016 notes described above, the Company will record an aggregate $26.5 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which consists of $21.2 million of purchase, consent and redemption fees and non-cash expenses of $5.3 million, of which $8.8 million related to unamortized financing costs offset partially by $3.5 million of unamortized net premium.

The principal terms of the new notes are as follows:

The new notes will mature on August 1, 2020.  The new notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually on August 1 and February 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2013. 
 
The Company may redeem some or all of the new notes at any time on or after August 1, 2016 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on August 1 of the year set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:

At any time prior to August 1, 2015, the Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of all new notes issued under the indenture (whether on July 30, 2012 or thereafter pursuant to an issuance of additional new notes under the indenture) at a redemption price of 105.250% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds from certain equity offerings, and may also redeem some or all of the new notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. Holders may require the Company to repurchase the new notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon a change of control of the Company.
 
The new notes are guaranteed by substantially all the Company's current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The new notes are the Company's and the guarantors' senior unsecured obligations ranking equally with the Company's and the guarantors' existing and future senior unsecured obligations and senior to any future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the new notes and the guarantees. The new notes and the guarantees will rank effectively junior in right of payment to the Company's and the guarantors' secured indebtedness (including loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding letters of credit) under the Company's revolving credit facility and capital lease obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured indebtedness. The new notes are not guaranteed by the Company's Canadian or other foreign subsidiaries, and the new notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company's subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the new notes.
