Senior Unsecured Notes and New Credit Agreement On June 19, 2002, we issued $300 million of 7.2% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2012 (Senior Unsecured Notes). These notes were issued at 99.629% of the face amount and yielded $294.3 million of net proceeds after related financing fees. The proceeds of this debt issuance were utilized to repay senior bank indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15th and December 15th of each year commencing December 15, 2002. The Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to create loans, enter into sale- leaseback transactions or certain consolidations or mergers, or sell all or substantially all of our assets. 

We also entered into a new three-year, multi-currency, revolving credit facility with a group of financial institutions (New Credit Agreement). This New Credit Agreement permits revolving credit loans of up to $650 million for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes and replaces the previous Bank Credit
