ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Credit Agreement
     On March 12, 2009, the Registrant entered into the Third Amendment to its credit agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which, among other things, in certain circumstances lowered the amount of assets pledged as collateral under the agreement. The amendment was arranged by Banc of America Securities LLC with participation in the facility by Bank of America, N.A., ABN Amro N.V., Nordea Bank Danmark A/S, Citibank, N.A., The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Bank DnB NORD A/S, Fifth Third Bank, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, National City Bank, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Trust Company, Nykredit Bank A/S, HSH Nordbank AG, and BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc.
     The description of the Third Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text therein, which is attached to this Report as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference. The Third Amendment contains representations and warranties that the parties to such agreement made to and solely for the benefit of the other parties to such agreement. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they were only made as of the respective date of the Third Amendment. In addition, the Third Amendment is modified by any applicable underlying disclosure schedules. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the respective dates of the Third Amendment, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Registrant’s public disclosures.
