Current Liabilities
Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
The current portion of long-term debt at July 31, 2011 consisted of $500 million of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due on March 15, 2012, less the unamortized discount. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012 we paid off those notes when they became due using cash from operations. See Note 6, "Long-Term Obligations - Long-Term Debt," for more information.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On February 17, 2012 we entered into an agreement with certain institutional lenders for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility that will expire on February 17, 2017. Advances under the credit facility will accrue interest at rates that are equal to, at our election, either JP Morgan's alternate base rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.0% to 0.5% or LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 0.9% to 1.5%. Actual margins under either election will be based on our senior debt credit ratings. The agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants that require us to maintain a ratio of total debt to annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00 as of any date and a ratio of annual EBITDA to interest payable of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. We remained in compliance with these covenants at all times during the quarter ended April 30, 2012. We may use amounts borrowed under this credit facility for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions. To date we have not borrowed under this credit facility.
