        Our Credit Agreement provides for a $460 million five-year Facility, which includes a $200 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $100 million sublimit for multicurrency borrowings and letters of credit. At our election, the Facility may be increased from time to time by an amount up to $140 million in the aggregate, provided that no existing lender is required to commit to any such increased amount. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by our accounts receivable, the stock of our subsidiaries and intercompany loans. At September 30, 2012, we had $79.2 million in borrowings outstanding at a weighted-average interest rate of 2.15% per annum, $19.0 million in standby letters of credit and $361.8 million in availability under the Facility. We had $14.2 million in multicurrency borrowings and standby letters of credit under the Facility at September 30, 2012.

        Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is payable, at our election, at either (a) a base rate (the highest of the U.S. federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, the bank's prime rate or the Eurocurrency rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum, or (b) a Eurocurrency rate plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. Borrowings at the base rate have no designated term and may be repaid without penalty any time prior to the Facility's maturity date. Borrowings at a Eurodollar rate have a term no less than 30 days and no greater than 90 days. Typically, at the end of such term, such borrowings may be rolled over at our discretion into either a borrowing at the base rate or a borrowing at a Eurodollar rate with similar terms, not to exceed the maturity date of the Facility. The Facility matures on March 28, 2016, or earlier at our discretion upon payment in full of loans and other obligations.

        In fiscal 2012, other debt includes capital leases of $2.8 million, property and equipment loans of $0.5 million, and a bank overdraft facility of $0.5 million at one of our foreign affiliates. In fiscal 2011, other debt includes capital leases of $1.7 million, property and equipment loans of $1.2 million, and a bank overdraft facility of $0.7 million at one of our foreign affiliates.

        We entered into two letters of credit agreements with two banks to issue up to $30 million in standby letters of credit. In fiscal 2012, we entered into a third letter of credit agreement with a third bank to issue up to $10 million in standby letters of credit. The amount of standby letters of credit outstanding under these facilities at September 30, 2012 was $5.3 million, issued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
