On March 1, 2011, we replaced our existing credit agreement with our Revolving Credit Facility ("2011 Credit Agreement").  Terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement consist of a five-year, $350 million revolving credit facility.  This 2011 Credit Agreement has a floating interest rate that is currently LIBOR plus 175 basis points.  The 2011 Credit Agreement also includes a $150 million expansion feature.  The 2011 Credit Agreement contains the following quarterly financial covenants:

We are in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2012.  We have issued $29.4 million in standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2012 for insurance purposes.  Issued letters of credit reduce our available credit under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  As of March 31, 2012, we have approximately $320.6 million of unused lines of credit available and eligible to be drawn down under our revolving credit facility, excluding the $150 million expansion feature.
