The revolving facility and the synthetic facility will mature five years following the closing date, provided that if prior to October 1, 2009 the Company’s existing term loan facility is not refinanced or the maturity thereof is not extended beyond December 31, 2009, then the revolving facility and the synthetic facility will mature on December 31, 2009. No assurance can be given that the refinancing will be completed on these terms or at all.
