We have a $480 million unsecured revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) that matures in January 2017. The Revolving Facility's interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin, alternate base rate plus a margin, or competitive bid. The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of December 31, 2013, $359 million was available under the Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2013, were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars and to a lesser extent in euros.

The margin on LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Facility, which can range from 0.9% to 1.575% depending on our credit rating, was 1.40% at December 31, 2013. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings under the Revolving Facility can range from 0.0% to 0.575%. We also pay an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on our credit rating. The facility fee can range from 0.10% to 0.30 % and was 0.225% at December 31, 2013.

 

We have $100 million in unsecured notes through a private placement debt transaction (the “Notes”). The Notes comprise $50 million in series A notes with a fixed interest rate of 4.57% and $50 million in series B notes with a fixed interest rate of 5.20%. The Notes are due in January 2021 with principal payments under the series A notes to begin in January 2015.

 

We have three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities with a total of $73 million in available credit, of which approximately $46 million was available at December 31, 2013. A $20 million facility expires in May 2014, a $30 million facility expires in October 2014, and a $23 million facility expires in December 2015. Interest on these facilities is based on LIBOR plus a margin. The margin ranges from 0.9% to 2.125%. We also have the ability to borrow from other banks, at the banks' discretion, under short-term uncommitted agreements. Various foreign subsidiaries maintain other lines of credit and overdraft facilities with a number of banks.

 

We have a $24 million unsecured committed credit facility that expires in April 2014. Interest on this facility is based on LIBOR plus a margin, which ranges from 1.20% to 1.575%. As of December 31, 2013, $14 million was available under the facility.

 

We have three unsecured letter of credit facilities totaling $179 million, of which approximately $70 million was available at December 31, 2013. A $54 million facility expires in December 2016, an $85 million facility expires in June 2015, and a $40 million facility expires in December 2015. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities are also used for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

 

The Revolving Facility, the Notes, the unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities, the unsecured committed credit facility and the letter of credit facilities contain subsidiary guarantees and various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our total indebtedness, limit priority debt, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should our credit rating be reduced. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various credit agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other loan agreements. We were in compliance with all financial covenants at December 31, 2013.

 

We have $43 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia recorded as debt on our balance sheet. Although we are not the primary obligor of the debt, we have guaranteed the debt and we believe that we will ultimately pay this obligation. The guarantee originated as part of a former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a deep water coal terminal. We continue to pay interest on the debt. The bonds bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0% and mature in 2033. The bonds may mature prior to 2033 upon the occurrence of specified events such as the determination that the bonds are taxable or if we fail to abide by the terms of the guarantee.
