Line of credit, interest rate terms									The Facility borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) a eurodollar rate (generally LIBOR rate), or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time and (3) the eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin is a percentage per annum varying from 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate loans and 1.00% to 1.75% for eurodollar loans, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also pays a commitment fee, based on the leverage ratio, payable quarterly, in arrears, ranging from 0.225% to 0.300% on the average daily unused portion of the Facility. For purposes of this calculation, irrevocable standby letters of credit issued primarily in conjunction with the Company’s self-insurance program and cash borrowings are included as usage of the Facility.
