Bank Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2010, we had a $400 million bank credit facility due November 2013 with a syndicate of financial institutions, including a sublimit of $175 million for letters of credit. In the first quarter of 2011, we amended our bank credit facility to increase the availability thereunder from $400 million to $500 million and extended the maturity to March 2016.

As of September 30, 2011, we have $65.0 million outstanding cash advances under our bank credit facility and have used it to support $33.3 million of letters of credit. The bank credit facility provides us with flexibility for working capital, if needed, and is guaranteed by a majority of our domestic subsidiaries. The subsidiary guaranty is a guaranty of payment of the outstanding amount of the total lending commitment, including letters of credit. The bank credit facility contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum leverage ratio, and certain dividend and share repurchase restrictions. We pay a quarterly fee on the unused commitment, which was 0.35%. As of September 30, 2011, we have $401.7 million in borrowing capacity under the bank credit facility.
