Revolving Credit Facility – In fiscal year 2012, we entered into a syndicated $625 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility is used for general corporate purposes including acquisitions and share repurchases. The term is five years and will expire in April 2017. The Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies and letters of credit, in each case up to specified sublimits.

We borrowed $615.0 million and had approximately $8 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility as of August 31, 2012. We repaid the entire amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. As of November 30, 2012, we have approximately $12 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility fees are determined based on a pricing grid that varies according to our leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility fee ranges from 25 to 40 basis points. Incremental fees for borrowings under the facility generally range from LIBOR + 125 to 185 basis points. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at August 31, 2012 was 3.5%.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains various customary representations, covenants and other provisions, including the following financial covenants: maximum leverage ratio, minimum coverage interest and rent expense ratio, and a U.S. Department of Education financial responsibility composite score. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants related to the Revolving Credit Facility at November 30, 2012.


•	BPP Credit Facility – In fiscal year 2012, we entered into a £39.0 million (equivalent to $62.4 million as of November 30, 2012) secured credit agreement (the “BPP Credit Facility”). We did not have any borrowings on the BPP Credit Facility as of November 30, 2012 and subsequent to November 30, 2012, we terminated the BPP Credit Facility.
