Subsequent Events

On February 20, 2015, we entered into a $600,000 unsecured multicurrency credit facility with a group of banks.  This facility has a five-year term and includes a $50,000 subfacility for swing-line loans.  It may be increased from $600,000 to $850,000 under certain conditions.  The new facility contains customary events of default and covenants related to limitations on indebtedness and the maintenance of certain financial ratios.  It replaced our existing revolving loan agreement that was scheduled to expire in December 2016.  Balances outstanding under the prior facility were transferred to the new facility.
