credit facility is designated as a hedge of our net investment in
our Japanese subsidiary. In August 2007, we entered into an
amendment of our one-year, Japanese yen 11.0 billion ($96.3 at
the exchange rate on December 31, 2007) uncommitted credit
facility with the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. The amend-
ment provides for the extension of the yen credit facility until
August 2008. At December 31, 2007, $96.3 (Japanese yen 11.0
billion) was outstanding under the yen credit family.
At December 31, 2007, we had an international committed line
of credit of $5.1 with no amount outstanding. The fees on this
line are .25% on the unused portion and the greater of the
Canadian prime rate or the Canadian 30-day B. A. plus 5/8% on
outstanding amounts.
At December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all cove-
nants in our indentures. Such indentures do not contain any
rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of
our debt.
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we also had letters of credit
outstanding totaling $18.4 and $24.8, respectively, which
primarily guarantee various insurance activities. In addition, we
had outstanding letters of credit for various trade activities and
commercial commitments executed in the ordinary course of
business, such as purchase orders for normal replenishment of
inventory levels.
