Item 5. Other Events

 

On June 29, 2004, we entered into a new unsecured bank credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and several lenders party thereto, which replaced a bank credit facility that expired by its terms on June 28, 2004. The new credit facility provides a revolving line of credit of up to $125 million, including a $35 million subfacility for letters of credit and a $10 million subfacility for swing line loans. Usage under either or both subfacilities reduces availability under the revolving line of credit. Although no borrowings have been made under the new credit facility, the letter of credit subfacility is being used to support several outstanding letters of credit.

 

A copy of the new credit facility is set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Report on Form 8-K. Affirmative covenants are set forth in Article VI of Exhibit 1 and negative covenants are set forth in Article VII of Exhibit 1.
