Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 28, 2011, we modified our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility by entering into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment provides that Letters of Credit may have an expiration date that is up to one year after the maturity date (as the maturity date may be extended as indicated below, the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”) of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement provided that no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, we provide a cash deposit in the full amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit with expiration dates after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The cash deposit will be maintained in a special collateral account at the Administrative Agent’s office.
The Revolving Loan Maturity Date is June 29, 2011 and we may extend the maturity date for one year if there is no event of default and we pay a fee equal to 15 basis points of the committed amount under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serves as Administrative Agent, Swing Lender and Issuing Lender and Bank of America, N.A. serves as Syndication Agent and Issuing Lender. The other banks that are included in the syndicate of lenders are listed in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.
A copy of the First Amendment is attached as exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report. The description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the copy of the First Amendment attached as an exhibit.
