collectively, "the "Consolidated Group") entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a group of lenders for which Bank of America N.A. acts as the administrative agent and letters of
credit issuer. Under the terms of the agreement, the Consolidated Group thereunder may increase the amount of borrowings under the senior secured credit facility with additional commitments to increase total commitments by $210 million, to $500

executed a joinder agreement to provide a $50 million commitment under the Credit Agreement effective September 27, 2013, to include the New Lender in the lending group thereunder, thereby increasing commitments under the Credit Agreement to
