Senior Notes

In May 2011, the Company issued non-callable $250,000 5.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2017 (the $250,000 Notes) at a discount to yield 6%. In connection with the May 2011 issuance, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $250,000. Gains and losses due to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap completely offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt and are recorded as an adjustment to the $250,000 Notes. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the interest rate swap increased the fair value of the notes by $16,304 and the variable interest rate of the swap was 3.81%.

In November 2012, the Company issued an additional $175,000 non-callable 5.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2017 ($175,000 Add-on Notes) at a premium to yield 4.29%. The indenture governing the $250,000 Notes and the $175,000 Add-on Notes contains non-financial and financial covenants, including requirements of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Interest is paid semi-annually in June and December. At December 31, 2012, the total net unamortized debt premium on the $250,000 Notes and $175,000 Add-on Notes was $7,823.  

Revolving Credit Agreement

The Company has a $350,000 revolving credit facility due in January 2016. The revolver is unsecured and has non-financial and financial covenants, including requirements of minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum debt to EBITDA ratios and minimum net worth. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest based upon LIBOR rates, the Federal funds rate, or the prime rate. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the agreement, leaving availability of $350,000.

In February 2013, the Company amended the $350,000 revolving credit facility to add an additional pricing tier, increase the maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio during the first three quarters of 2013 to provide for increased borrowing availability and change the maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio to 3.0 as of December 31, 2013 and thereafter.

The Company has outstanding letters of credit of $17,280 as of December 31, 2012, which are not part of the revolver.  The letters of credit bore interest at 1.07% as of December 31, 2012.
