Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 2, 2010, the Company amended its existing five-year revolving credit facility and reduced the committed amount thereunder from $1.3 billion to $700 million. The maturity date of the facility of May 2011, remained the same. In addition, the Company entered into a new five-year revolving credit facility with a committed amount of $900 million that expires in June 2015. The major financial covenants for both revolving facilities require the Company to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of $2.5 billion and a consolidated funded debt to consolidated cash flow ratio of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company's 2007 term loan was also amended to revise the covenants to be consistent with the revolving facilities.
