ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
We increased the maximum amount that we may borrow under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement to $200 million, effective as of October 6, 2005. This original credit agreement, which we entered into on April 27, 2005 with a group of banks led by Bank of America, N.A., initially allowed maximum borrowings of $150 million. A provision of the credit agreement, however, permitted us to request that the maximum commitment amount be increased by up to $50 million. Our request for a $50 million increase was approved by the participating banks on October 6, 2005.
Our credit agreement is further described in, and is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to, our Form 8-K filed on May 3, 2005, which we incorporate into this filing by reference.
ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.
Information is included in Item 1.01 above.
