Section 2 – Financial Information
 
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 

On March 6, 2008, we entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Bank of America. N.A. providing for a $200 million revolving credit facility, including a $100 million foreign currency borrowing sublimit and a $50 million letter of credit sublimit.  Amounts borrowed under the credit facility may be used for repurchases of stock, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes.  The credit facility matures and all outstanding borrowings are due on the fifth anniversary of the credit agreement with annual reductions in availability of $25 million on each of the first three anniversaries.

 

Amounts borrowed under the credit facility may be repaid and reborrowed until the maturity date and bear interest, at our option, at either Eurocurrency Rate plus .5% to .875%, depending on our leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement, at the end of the previous quarter, or at the prime rate.  A default interest rate applies on all obligations during an event of default under the credit facility, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate.  The credit facility requires us to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility.  The commitment fee ranges from 0.075% to 0.15% depending on our leverage ratio, as of the end on the previous quarter.

 

The credit facility contains customary representations and warranties and places certain business operating restrictions on us relating to, among other things, indebtedness, liens and other encumbrances, investments, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, dividends and distributions and redemptions of capital stock.  In addition, the credit agreement provides for a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.  The credit facility contains events of default that include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, material judgments, invalidity of the loan documents and events constituting a change of control.  The credit facility is guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries.

 

The description provided above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms contained in the unsecured credit agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
