The Facility can be upsized to $450 million through an accordion feature.  Borrowings under the facility are priced at LIBOR plus 165 to 225 basis points based upon a pricing grid tied to the Registrant’s leverage ratio.  

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
