Item 8.01.

Other Events.

We are currently negotiating an amendment and restatement of our secured credit facility (the “secured credit facility” and, as amended, the “amended credit facility”). The amended credit facility is expected to be a $750,000,000 secured credit facility maturing five years from the closing date thereof, consisting of a revolving loan facility in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $500,000,000 (including a letter of credit subfacility not to exceed $100,000,000 and swingline sub-facility not to exceed $50,000,000) and a delayed-draw term loan facility of $250,000,000. Borrowings under our delayed-draw term loan facility, if utilized, may be used only for working capital and repayment or refinancing of our existing indebtedness and to pay the fees and expenses in connection therewith. There can be no assurances that the amendment and restatement of our secured credit facility will be accepted by our lenders or that the actual amendment and restatement is not materially different from the foregoing description.
