Credit Agreement
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company was able to reduce interest rates, extend maturities and increase its available liquidity. The Credit Agreement consists of a $575.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which permits revolving borrowings denominated in specific foreign currencies ("Foreign Currency Loans"), subject to a $75.0 million sub limit, and a $175.0 million senior secured term loan A facility.
Below is a summary of key terms under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2013 and the key terms of the previous credit agreement, in place immediately prior to entering into the new Credit Agreement on October 16, 2013, with term loan(s) showing borrowings outstanding at each date and revolving credit facilities showing gross availability at each date:

__________________________
(a) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
(b) The interest rate spread is based upon the leverage ratio, as defined, as of the most recent determination date.
The Credit Agreement also provides incremental term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments in an amount not to exceed the greater of $300 million and an amount such that, after giving effect to such incremental commitments and the incurrence of any other indebtedness substantially simultaneously with the making of such commitments, the senior secured net leverage ratio, as defined, is no greater than 2.50 to 1.00. The terms and conditions of any incremental term loan and/or revolving credit facility commitments must be no more favorable than the existing credit facility.
Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 (payable in 2015), the Company may be required to prepay a portion of its term loan A facility in an amount equal to a percentage of the Company's excess cash flow, as defined, with such percentage based on the Company's leverage ratio, as defined. In April 2012, the Company paid $5.0 million of its former term loan B facility under the then-current excess cash flow provision for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Company is also able to issue letters of credit, not to exceed $75.0 million in aggregate, against its revolving credit facility commitments. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had letters of credit of approximately $24.1 million and $23.3 million, respectively, issued and outstanding.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had $71.1 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $479.8 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $24.1 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2012, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and had $226.7 million potentially available after giving effect to approximately $23.3 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding. However, including availability under its accounts receivable facility and after consideration of leverage restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement and the previous credit agreement, the Company had $360.3 million and $230.5 million, respectively, of borrowing capacity available for general corporate purposes.
Principal payments required under the Credit Agreement for the Term Loan A facility are approximately $2.2 million due each calendar quarter beginning March 2014 through December 2016 and approximately $3.3 million from March 2017 through September 2018, with final payment of $125.8 million due on October 16, 2018.
The debt under the Credit Agreement is an obligation of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of such parties. Borrowings under the $75.0 million foreign currency sub limit of the $575.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility are secured by a pledge of the assets of the foreign subsidiary borrowers that are a party to the agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains various negative and affirmative covenants and other requirements affecting the Company and its subsidiaries that are comparable to the previous credit agreement, including restrictions on incurrence of debt, liens, mergers, investments, loans, advances, guarantee obligations, acquisitions, asset dispositions, sale-leaseback transactions, hedging agreements, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements and amendments to charters, bylaws, and other material documents. The terms of the Credit Agreement also require the Company and its subsidiaries to meet certain restrictive financial covenants and ratios computed quarterly, including a maximum leverage ratio (total consolidated indebtedness plus outstanding amounts under the accounts receivable securitization facility over consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA, as defined, over cash interest expense, as defined). At December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its financial and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
The Company incurred approximately $3.6 million in fees to complete the Credit Agreement, of which $3.1 million was capitalized as deferred financing fees and $0.5 million was recorded as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The Company also recorded non-cash debt extinguishment costs of $1.9 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the previous credit agreement.
During 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $6.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, in fees to complete the refinance of its previous credit agreements, of which $4.5 million and $4.4 million was capitalized as deferred financing fees and $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was recorded as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The Company also recorded non-cash debt extinguishment costs of $1.1 million and $1.6 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the previous credit agreements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Receivables Facility
The Company is a party to an accounts receivable facility through TSPC, Inc. ("TSPC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, to sell trade accounts receivable of substantially all of the Company's domestic business operations. The Company amended the facility in December 2012, increasing the committed funding from $90.0 million to $105.0 million, and reducing the margin on amounts outstanding from 1.50% or 1.75% to 1.20% or 1.35%, respectively, depending on the amounts drawn under the facility. The amendment also reduced the cost of the unused portion of the facility from 0.45% to 0.40% and extended the maturity date from September 15, 2015 to October 12, 2017.
Under this facility, TSPC, from time to time, may sell an undivided fractional ownership interest in the pool of receivables up to approximately $105.0 million to a third party multi-seller receivables funding company. The net amount financed under the facility is less than the face amount of accounts receivable by an amount that approximates the purchaser's financing costs. The cost of funds under this facility consisted of a 3-month LIBOR plus a usage fee of 1.35% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and a fee on the unused portion of the facility of 0.40% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company had $57.0 million and $18.0 million outstanding under the facility as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $20.2 million and $51.9 million available but not utilized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Aggregate costs incurred under the facility were $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, and are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
The cost of funds fees incurred are determined by calculating the estimated present value of the receivables sold compared to their carrying amount. The estimated present value factor is based on historical collection experience and a discount rate based on a 3-month LIBOR-based rate plus the usage fee discussed above and is computed in accordance with the terms of the securitization agreement. As of December 31, 2013, the cost of funds under the facility was based on an average liquidation period of the portfolio of approximately 1.6 months and an average discount rate of 1.8%.
Other Bank Debt
In Australia, the Company's subsidiary is party to a debt agreement which matures on March 31, 2014 and is secured by substantially all the assets of the subsidiary. The balance outstanding under this agreement was approximately $0.7 million and $4.8 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, at an average interest rate of 2.7% and 3.2% at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Senior Notes
In 2009, the Company issued $250.0 million principal amount of its 93/4% senior secured notes due 2017 ("Senior Notes") at a discount of $5.0 million. Prior to December 15, 2012, the Company was able to redeem, on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the principal amount of Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 109.750% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date plus additional interest, if any, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, provided that at least 65% of the original principal amount of Senior Notes issued remains outstanding after such redemption, and provided further that each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such equity offering. In June 2012, the Company completed a partial redemption of its Senior Notes, using cash proceeds from its May 2012 equity offering, paying approximately $54.9 million to redeem $50.0 million in aggregate principal at a redemption price equal to 109.750% of the principal amount. See Note 4, "Equity Offering," for further information on the Company's equity offering.
Under the Senior Notes indenture, the Company was also able to redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed plus the applicable "make whole premium," accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of such redemption. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the proceeds from the borrowings obtained under the previous credit agreement were utilized to redeem all of the remaining outstanding Senior Notes ($200.0 million), and to pay tender costs, fees and expenses related thereto. As a result, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no Senior Notes outstanding.
During 2012, the Company incurred approximately $35.7 million in premium, legal and other transaction advisory fees to complete the aforementioned redemptions of its Senior Notes and approximately $8.1 million in non-cash debt extinguishment costs related to the write-off of deferred financing fees and unamortized discount. The amounts are recorded as debt extinguishment costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Debt Issuance Costs
The Company's unamortized debt issuance costs approximated $8.7 million and $9.1 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. These amounts consist primarily of legal, accounting and other transaction advisory fees as well as facility fees paid to the lenders. Debt issuance costs for the current and previous term loan facilities and the previous discount on the Senior Notes are amortized using the interest method over the terms of the underlying debt instruments to which these amounts relate. The debt issuance costs for the current and previous revolving credit facilities and the receivables facility are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the facilities. Amortization expense for these items was approximately $1.8 million, $2.5 million and $2.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.
