Credit Facilities
     Our credit facilities are comprised of a $500.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of December 14, 2015 and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of December 14, 2015 (collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities”). The revolving credit facility includes a $300.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $200.0 million. We had outstanding letters of credit of $124.6 million and $133.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which reduced our borrowing capacity to $375.4 million and $366.1 million, respectively.
     Borrowings under our Credit Facilities, other than in respect of swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (1) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% – 2.50%, as applicable, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio (2) the base rate (which is based on greater of the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under our New Credit Facilities or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or (3) a daily rate equal to the one month LIBOR plus 1.0% plus, as applicable, an applicable margin of 0.75% – 1.50% determined by reference to the ratio of our total debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The applicable interest rate as of June 30, 2011 was 2.25% for borrowings under our Credit Facilities. In connection with our Credit Facilities, we have entered into $340.0 million of notional amount of interest rate swaps at June 30, 2011 to hedge exposure to floating interest rates.
     We may prepay loans under our Credit Facilities in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we made scheduled repayments under our Credit Facilities of $6.3 million and $12.5 million, respectively. We have scheduled repayments of $6.3 million due in the each of the next four quarters.
     European Letter of Credit Facilities – On October 30, 2009, we entered into a new 364-day unsecured European Letter of Credit Facility (“New European LOC Facility”) with an initial commitment of €125.0 million. The New European LOC Facility is renewable annually and is used for contingent obligations in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations with maturities up to five years. We renewed the New European LOC Facility in October 2010 consistent with its initial terms for an additional 364-day period. We pay fees of 1.35% and 0.40% for utilized and unutilized capacity, respectively, under our New European LOC Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the New European LOC Facility of €67.6 million ($98.0 million) and €55.7 million ($74.5 million) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
     Our ability to issue additional letters of credit under our previous European Letter of Credit Facility (“Old European LOC Facility”), which had a commitment of €110.0 million, expired November 9, 2009. We paid annual and fronting fees of 0.875% and 0.10%, respectively, for letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility of €18.9 million ($27.4 million) and €33.3 million ($44.5 million) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
     Certain banks are parties to both facilities and are managing their exposures on an aggregated basis. As such, the commitment under the New European LOC Facility is reduced by the face amount of existing letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility prior to its expiration. These existing letters of credit will remain outstanding, and accordingly offset the €125.0 million capacity of the New European LOC Facility until their maturity, which, as of June 30, 2011, was approximately one year for the majority of the outstanding existing letters of credit. After consideration of outstanding commitments under both facilities, the available capacity under the New European LOC Facility was €112.1 million as of June 30, 2011, of which €67.6 million has been utilized.
