Net cash used by financing activities was $2.7 million during the first three months of 2010, primarily from $2.6 million in dividend payments and a $1.1 million repayment of Long-Term Debt, partially offset by $0.9 from the issuance of common stock and a $0.1 tax benefit on stock plans.
As of March 31, 2010, we had committed lines of credit totaling $133.9 million and uncommitted lines of credit totaling $80.0 million. There was $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our JPMorgan facility and no borrowings under any other facilities as of March 31, 2010. In addition, we had stand alone letters of credit of $1.9 million outstanding and bank guarantees in the amount of $0.9 million. Commitment fees on unused lines of credit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $0.1 million.
Our June 19, 2007 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as amended from time to time, with our bank group led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”), provides us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries access to a $125.0 million revolving credit facility until June 19, 2012. Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars or certain other currencies. The facility is available for general corporate purposes, working capital needs, share repurchases and acquisitions. If we obtain additional indebtedness as permitted under the agreement, to the extent that any revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are then outstanding we are required to prepay the revolving loans in an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds from the additional indebtedness. Additionally, proceeds over $25.0 million and under $35.0 million will reduce the revolver commitment on a 50% dollar for dollar basis and proceeds over $35.0 million will reduce the revolver commitment on a 100% dollar for dollar basis. The Credit Agreement limits the payment of dividends and repurchases of stock in fiscal years after 2009 to an amount ranging from $12.0 million to $40.0 million based on our leverage ratio after giving effect to such payments. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to covenants restricting our ability to incur indebtedness and liens and to merge or consolidate with another entity.
We have a revolving credit facility with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (“ABN AMRO”) of 5.0 million Euros, or approximately $ÂÂÂÂÂ6.8 million, for general working capital purposes. Borrowings under this facility incur interest generally at a rate of 1.25% over the ABN AMRO base rate as calculated daily on the cleared account balance. This facility may also be used for short-term loans up to 3.0 million Euros, or $4.1 million. The terms and conditions of these loans would be incorporated in a separate short-term loan agreement at the time of the transaction. As of March 31, 2010, bank guarantees of $0.9 million reduced the amount available on this credit facility to $5.8 million.
