7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014
In August 2008, we issued $550,000 aggregate principal amount of 7% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to our existing and future senior debt and equally in right of payment with our existing and future senior subordinated debt. Substantially all of our domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the Exchangeable Notes on a senior subordinated basis.

The Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at an exchange rate of 543.1372 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which is equivalent to an approximate exchange price of $1.841 per share of common stock. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year at a rate of 7% per annum. The Exchangeable Notes mature on December 1, 2014.

In connection with the fundamental change that occurred on January 17, 2013 and the subsequent offer that was made to each holder of the Exchangeable Notes on February 1, 2013, $47,630 in principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes were converted resulting in the issuance of 27,687,850 shares of our common stock. As a result of this conversion, we retired $47,630 in principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes and recognized a proportionate share of unamortized discount and deferred financing fees of $2,533 to Additional paid-in capital. No loss was recognized as a result of the exchange.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the three months ended September 30, 2012, the common stock reserved for conversion in connection with the Exchangeable Notes were considered to be anti-dilutive in our calculation of diluted net income per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Exchangeable Notes were considered to be dilutive.

7.625% Senior Notes due 2018
In October 2010, we issued $700,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “7.625% Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year at a rate of 7.625% per annum.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we purchased $59,799 and $160,449, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% Notes for an aggregate purchase price, including premium and interest, of $66,782 and $179,351, respectively. We recognized an aggregate loss on the extinguishment of these 7.625% Notes of $6,908 and $19,530, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, consisting primarily of unamortized discount, deferred financing fees and repayment premium, to Loss on extinguishment of debt and credit facilities, net.

On September 25, 2013, we called for the redemption of the remaining $539,551 outstanding principal balance of the 7.625% Notes on October 25, 2013. The 7.625% Notes have been classified as a current liability within our unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013. For a discussion of subsequent events refer to Note 17.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
In December 2012, we entered into a five-year Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions for $1,250,000. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of our material domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including dividends, financing of acquisitions and share repurchases. Interest on borrowings is payable on a quarterly basis and accrues at a rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable rate. We are also required to pay a variable fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility which is currently 0.35% per annum and is payable on a quarterly basis. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including a maintenance covenant, and events of default. The Credit Facility contains incremental facilities which would allow us to increase or obtain new commitments and/or incur new term loans, subject to the terms of the Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2013, $1,210,000 was available for future borrowing under the Credit Facility. Our outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility are classified as Long-term debt within our unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 due to the long-term maturity of this debt.

Covenants and Restrictions
Under the Credit Facility, we must comply with a maintenance covenant that we not exceed a total leverage ratio, calculated as total consolidated debt to consolidated operating cash flow, of 5.0 to 1.0. Our 7.625% Notes and our 5.25% Notes generally require compliance with certain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, investments or acquisitions, (iv) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (v) merge or consolidate with another person, (vi) sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, and (vii) make voluntary prepayments of certain debt, in each case subject to exceptions.
Our 4.25% Notes, 4.625% Notes, 5.75% Notes and 5.875% Notes are subject to covenants that, among other things, (i) limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to (x) create certain liens; and (y) enter into sale/leaseback transactions; and (ii) limit our ability to merge or consolidate. The indentures relating to our 4.25% Notes, 4.625% Notes, 5.75% Notes and 5.875% Notes restrict our non-guarantor subsidiaries' ability to create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness without such non-guarantor subsidiary guaranteeing each such series of Notes on a pari passu basis.

Under our debt agreements, the following generally constitute an event of default: (i) a default in the payment of interest; (ii) a default in the payment of principal; (iii) failure to comply with covenants; (iv) failure to pay other indebtedness after final maturity or acceleration of other indebtedness exceeding a specified amount; (v) certain events of bankruptcy; (vi) a judgment for payment of money exceeding a specified aggregate amount; and (vii) voidance of subsidiary guarantees, subject to grace periods where applicable. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, our debt could become immediately due and payable.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
