As of December 31, 2012, we had a $300 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks under an agreement (the "Credit Agreement") that is scheduled to expire on January 6, 2017. Subject to certain conditions, the aggregate commitments under the facility may be increased by up to $200 million by obtaining additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders. Borrowings under the facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.175% to 0.35% on the unused portion of the facility, depending on our debt-to-capitalization ratio. The commitment fees are included as interest expense in our consolidated financial statements. Revolving borrowings under the facility bear interest at an adjusted base rate or the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the agreement), at our option, plus an applicable margin. Depending on our debt to capitalization ratio, the applicable margin varies (1) in the case of adjusted base rate advances, from 0.125% to 0.750% and (2) in the case of eurodollar advances, from 1.125% to 1.750%. The adjusted base rate is the greater of (1) the per annum rate established by administrative agent as its prime rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1%. At December 31, 2012, we had $94 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and $206 million available for borrowing. The weighted average interest rate on all our outstanding borrowings was 1.6% at December 31, 2012.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are customary for agreements of this nature, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur unsecured debt, as well as restrictions on our ability and the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to incur secured debt, grant liens, make certain investments, make distributions, merge or consolidate, sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into certain restrictive agreements. We are also subject to an interest coverage ratio and a debt to capitalization ratio. The Credit Agreement includes customary events and consequences of default.

We made cash interest payments of $4.3 million, $1.1 million and $7.2 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash interest payments, and interest expense, in 2010 include $2.9 million to terminate an interest rate hedge.
