The Revolving Credit Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2010, as amended, with Comerica. At our option, we may increase the size of the New Facility up to $100,000,000 (in certain minimum increments), subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.  Additionally, we may request swing-line advances under the New Facility up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary documents executed in connection therewith (collectively, the "Loan Documents"), the lenders have agreed to make loans to us and issue letters of credit on our behalf, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.  The New Facility has a three-year term and matures on April 13, 2015.  Interest and fees accruing under the New Facility are payable quarterly in arrears and principal is payable at maturity.  We may terminate the New Facility upon five days notice, without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage fees.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Loan Documents contain other customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants, representations and warranties, events of default, and remedies upon an event of default, including the acceleration of debt and the right to foreclose on the collateral securing the New Facility.  As security for the performance of our obligations under the Loan Documents, we granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, including our real property.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:12px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Item 2.03.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 13, 2012, we and certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us" and "our") entered into a $50,000,000 revolving line of credit ("New Facility") pursuant to an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement ("Revolving Credit Agreement") with the lenders signatory thereto and Comerica Bank ("Comerica"), as administrative agent for the lenders. The Revolving Credit Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2010, as amended, with Comerica. At our option, we may increase the size of the New Facility up to $100,000,000 (in certain minimum increments), subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Credit Agreement.  Additionally, we may request swing-line advances under the New Facility up to $3,000,000 in the aggregate.
Under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the ancillary documents executed in connection therewith (collectively, the "Loan Documents"), the lenders have agreed to make loans to us and issue letters of credit on our behalf, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.  The New Facility has a three-year term and matures on April 13, 2015.  Interest and fees accruing under the New Facility are payable quarterly in arrears and principal is payable at maturity.  We may terminate the New Facility upon five days notice, without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage fees.
The Loan Documents contain other customary affirmative, negative and financial maintenance covenants, representations and warranties, events of default, and remedies upon an event of default, including the acceleration of debt and the right to foreclose on the collateral securing the New Facility.  As security for the performance of our obligations under the Loan Documents, we granted the lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, including our real property.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
See Item 1.01.
Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
See Item 1.01.  Under the Loan Documents, (1) we may not make distributions, dividends or stock repurchases that, together with permitted acquisitions, exceed $300,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of the facility, and (2) our capital expenditures may not exceed $75,000,000 in any fiscal year.
