Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 18, 2015, we entered into an agreement (the “Revolving Loan Amendment”) to amend our existing Five-Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Existing Credit Facility”), as previously amended, with an updated credit facility (the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Loan Amendment provides $250 million additional revolving loan capacity under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility such that we can borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $900 million, which may be increased, at our option from time to time, up to $1,150 million. Additionally we extended the maturity date of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility by one year to a scheduled maturity of March 31, 2020, with the exception of $32.5 million which remains scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015.

Borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility incur interest charges based on the Company’s credit rating on a scale that remains unchanged from the previous terms of the Existing Credit Facility, with drawn amounts incurring interest at LIBOR plus a range of 69 to 130 basis points and undrawn amounts incurring interest at a range of 6 to 20 basis points, subject to credit ratings. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility includes certain affirmative and negative covenants, which also remain unchanged from the previous terms of the Existing Credit Facility, including maintenance of a maximum leverage ratio.

A copy of the Revolving Loan Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.40.A.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

The information under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference hereunder.
