Our senior credit facility and our private placement notes all require us to comply with various financial, reporting and other covenants and restrictions, including a restriction on dividend payments. The financial debt covenants are the same for the senior credit facility and the private placement notes. At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $149.6 million and $157.6 million, respectively, committed to outstanding letters of credit under our senior credit facility. The unused portion of the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $644.3 million and $616.5 million, respectively.
