Upon entering into the Fourth Amendment, the Company was required to repay in full the outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement, which had an outstanding principal balance of $79 million. On September 30, 2009, the Company paid the outstanding term loan balance by drawing $72.5 million under the revolving facility and paying $6.5 million from cash on hand. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company paid amendment fees to the Lenders approving the Fourth Amendment and an arrangement fee to Banc of America Securities LLC.
