On June 14, 2018, we entered into an unsecured Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") under which we issued our 4.20% Series 2018 C Senior Notes, due June 14, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $40 million and our 4.27% Series 2018 D Senior Notes, due June 14, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $35 million. Proceeds from the sale of the Series C Senior Notes and Series D Senior Notes were used to pay down our revolving credit facility.

On December 17, 2012, we entered into an unsecured Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") under which we issued our 3.89% Series 2012 A Senior Notes, due December 17, 2022, in the aggregate principal amount of $35 million and our 3.98% Series 2012 B Senior Notes, due December 17, 2024, in the aggregate principal amount of $40 million. Proceeds from the sale of the Series A Senior Notes and Series B Senior Notes were used to repay amounts due on our existing Series 2002‑A Senior Notes, Tranche B totaling $40 million and our revolving credit facility.

On November 1, 2018, we entered into a five-year, $375 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of U.S. banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent. The facilities include up to $40 million which may be advanced in the form of letters of credit, and up to $100 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) which may be advanced in Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, pounds Sterling, Euros and such other foreign currencies as may subsequently be agreed upon among the parties. This facility replaced our $295 million unsecured revolving credit facility. Cash borrowings are charged interest based upon an index selected by the Company, plus a margin that is determined based upon the index selected and upon the financial performance of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The Company is charged a facility fee on the entire amount of the lending commitment, at a per annum rate ranging from 12.5 to 30.0 basis points, also determined based upon the Company’s performance. The facility fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

Outstanding letters of credit extended on our behalf on December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 aggregated $30.3 million and $26.5 million; respectively, which includes approximately $9.8 million related to industrial development revenue bonds. The Company had an outstanding balance of $42.5 million and $59.4 million on its revolver at December 29, 2018, and December 30, 2017, respectively.   After considering letters of credit, the Company had $322.7 million and $225.7 million in remaining availability on its revolver on December 29, 2018, and December 30, 2017, respectively.  Additionally, we have $150 million in availability under a "shelf agreement" for long term debt with a current lender. Letters of credit have one year terms and include an automatic renewal clause. The letters of credit related to industrial development revenue bonds are charged an annual interest rate of 112.5 basis points, based upon our financial performance. The letters of credit related to workers’ compensation are charged an annual interest rate of 75 basis points.

On December 29, 2018, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was $203.1 million, which was $0.6 million more than the carrying value. The estimated fair value is based on rates anticipated to be available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities. We consider the valuations of our long-term debt, including the current portion, to be Level 2 liabilities which rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the liability.
