        Principal payments during each of the next five years and thereafter are due as follows (in millions): 2016—$226.1; 2017—$23.7; 2018—$22.5; 2019—$30.0; 2020—$105.0, and thereafter—$170.0. The retirement of the $225 million senior unsecured note is reflected as principal payments due in 2016 but was classified as a non-current liability on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Refer to further discussion below. Payments due in 2017 through thereafter are reflective of the New Credit Facility entered into on February 12, 2016.

        The Company maintains letters of credit that guarantee its performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding were approximately $24.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and $23.6 million as of December 31, 2014. The Company's letters of credit are primarily associated with insurance coverage and, to a lesser extent, foreign purchases. The Company's letters of credit generally expire within one year of issuance and are drawn down against the revolving credit facility. These instruments may exist or expire without being drawn down. Therefore, they do not necessarily represent future cash flow obligations.

        During 2015 and 2014, the Company was a party to a Credit Agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement) among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company who become borrowers under the Prior Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders referred to therein. The Prior Credit Agreement provided for a $500 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility which could have been increased by an additional $500 million under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement. The Prior Credit Agreement had a sublimit of up to $100 million in letters of credit. Borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement bore interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage equal to (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.975% to 1.45%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio plus, in the case of certain lenders, a mandatory cost calculated in accordance with the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its "prime rate," and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest under the Prior Credit Agreement, the Company was also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, an unused facility fee and letter of credit fees. The Prior Credit Agreement would have matured on February 18, 2019. The Company was entitled to repay loans outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

        As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Prior Credit Agreement and had $200.2 million of unused and available credit under the Prior Credit Agreement and $24.8 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding on the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company had $275 million of borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement at December 31, 2015.

        The Prior Credit Agreement imposed various restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including restrictions pertaining to: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) limitations on liens, (iii) making distributions, dividends and other payments, (iv) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (v) dispositions of assets, (vi) the maintenance of certain consolidated leverage ratios and consolidated interest coverage ratios, (vii) transactions with affiliates, (viii) changes to governing documents, and (ix) changes in control.

        On February 12, 2016, the Company terminated the Prior Credit Agreement and entered into a New Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company who become borrowers under the Credit Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders referred to therein. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with a sublimit of up to $100 million in letters of credit. The New Credit Agreement also provides for a $300 million, five-year, term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") available to the Company in a single draw. Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage defined as (i) in the case of Eurocurrency rate loans, the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.975% to 1.45%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio plus, or (ii) in the case of base rate loans and swing line loans, the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its "prime rate," and (c) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage defined as the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.125% to 1.75%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The loan under the Term Loan Facility amortizes as follows: 0% per annum during the first year, 7.5% in the second and third years, and 10% in the fourth and fifth years. Payments when due are made ratably each year in quarterly installments. In addition to paying interest under the New Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the credit facility, including, but not limited to, an unused facility fee and letter of credit fees. The New Credit Agreement matures on February 12, 2021, subject to extension under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. The Company may repay loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the New Credit Agreement. Once repaid, amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility may not be borrowed again.

        The New Credit Agreement imposes various restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including restrictions pertaining to: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) limitations on liens, (iii) making distributions, dividends and other payments, (iv) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (v) dispositions of assets, (vi) certain consolidated leverage ratios and consolidated interest coverage ratios, (vii) transactions with affiliates, (viii) changes to governing documents, and (ix) changes in control.

        On June 18, 2010, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued senior notes of $75.0 million in principal, due June 18, 2020. The Company will pay interest on the outstanding balance of the Notes at the rate of 5.05% per annum, payable semi-annually on June 18th and December 18th until the principal on the Notes shall become due and payable. The Company may, at its option, upon notice, and subject to the terms of the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1.0 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount, which is dependent upon the yield of respective U.S. Treasury securities. The 2010 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2010 Note Purchase Agreement.

        On April 27, 2006, the Company completed a private placement of $225.0 million of 5.85% senior unsecured notes due April 2016 (the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement). The 2006 Note Purchase Agreement includes operational and financial covenants, with which the Company is required to comply, including, among others, maintenance of certain financial ratios and restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens and dispositions. Events of default under the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement include failure to comply with its financial and operational covenants, as well as bankruptcy and other insolvency events. The Company may, at its option, upon notice to the note holders, prepay at any time all or part of the Notes in an amount not less than $1.0 million by paying the principal amount plus a make-whole amount, which is dependent upon the yield of respective U.S. Treasury securities. The payment of interest on the senior unsecured notes is due semi-annually on April 30th and October 30th of each year. As of December 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement. The Company intends to use borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility to retire the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement, upon maturity. As a result, the $225 million senior unsecured note was classified as a non-current liability on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015.

        In May 2013, the Company repaid with available cash $75.0 million of 5.47% unsecured senior notes originally completed as part of a 2003 private placement.
