Guarantor And Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries [Abstract]      
Description of Guarantees Given by Parent Company On January 20, 2010, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes. In addition, on January 22, 2013, the Company issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes. The Company’s obligations under the 2023 Notes and the 2020 Notes are, and prior to January 22, 2013, the Company’s obligations under the 2018 Notes were, guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Company and all guarantees are joint and several. The Senior Secured Notes are not guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries or any of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing the Senior Secured Notes, the guarantees are full and unconditional, but are subject to release under the following circumstances: - Upon the sale of the subsidiary or all or substantially all of its assets; - Upon the discharge of the guarantees under the credit facility and any other debt guaranteed by the applicable subsidiary provided that the credit facility has been paid in full and the applicable series of senior secured notes have an investment grade rating from both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s; - Upon designation of the subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” under the applicable indenture; - Upon the merger, consolidation or liquidation of the subsidiary into the Company or another subsidiary guarantor; and - Upon legal or covenant defeasance or the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the applicable indenture. The guarantees of the 2018 Notes were released on January 22, 2013, upon the discharge of the 2018 Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, the guarantees are full and unconditional but are subject to release under the following circumstances: - Upon the sale of the subsidiary or all or substantially all of its assets; - Upon the discharge of the guarantees under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 2020 Notes and any other debt guaranteed by the applicable subsidiary; - Upon the merger, consolidation or liquidation of the subsidiary into the Company or another subsidiary guarantor; and - Upon legal or covenant defeasance or the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the applicable indenture. Because the guarantees are subject to release under the above described circumstances, they would not be deemed “full and unconditional” for purposes of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. However, as these circumstances are customary, the Company concluded that it may rely on Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as the other requirements of Rule 3-10 have been met.
