The following description of the Revolving Credit Facility is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revolving Credit Facility.
Generally, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate or a LIBOR rate.Amounts outstanding bear interest at a periodic rate equal to LIBOR or the base rate, plus in either case an applicable margin. The Revolving Credit Facility also permits the issuance of letters of credit.The applicable margins are based on our Debt Rating, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility, with such margins for LIBOR rate loans and letters of credit ranging from 1.125% to 1.625% per annum and for base rate loans ranging from 0.125% to 0.625% per annum.

We are required to pay certain fees in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility.

This commitment fee ranges from 0.125% to 0.225% per annum of the aggregate $200 million commitment of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, we are required to pay certain fees to the Administrative Agent for administrative services.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants including, but not limited to, the preservation and maintenance of our corporate existence, material compliance with laws, payment of taxes, and maintenance of insurance and of our properties. Further, the Revolving Credit Facility contains financial covenants including a leverage ratio of consolidated indebtedness to total capitalization, as such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Facility agreement, and a minimum consolidated net worth.
