(7) Borrowings

Total debt obligations at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012		June 30, 2012
5.375% Senior Notes due 2015	$	153,016	$	152,986
Capital leases and other		1,453		1,514
Total debt		154,469		154,500
Less current maturities		253		250
Total long-term debt	$	154,216	$	154,250

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. During the full fiscal years 2012 and 2011, the Company reduced its Senior Notes by an aggregate face value of $46.6 million through unsolicited purchases.

We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). We have not had any revolving loans under the Facility at any time. At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, there were $0.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the Facility totaled $49.4 million at September 30, 2012 and at June 30, 2012 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.

At September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.
