Section 1—Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01.              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 15, 2004, we entered into two interest rate cap transactions with LaSalle Bank National Association (“LaSalle”), allowing us to continue to take advantage of LIBOR based pricing under our Credit Agreement while hedging our interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transactions”).  Under each Rate Cap Transaction, we will receive payments from LaSalle at the end of each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 2.5%.  The first Rate Cap Transaction (attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1) caps our interest rate on a $30 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of 18 months, in exchange for a one-time payment of $321,000 by us on November 16, 2004.  The second Rate Cap Transaction (attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2) caps our interest rate on a $15 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of nine months, in exchange for a one time payment of $51,000 by us on November 16, 2004.  Each Rate Cap Transaction will begin as of January 12, 2005 and will settle each quarter on a date that is intended to coincide with our quarterly interest payment dates under the Credit Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary is subject in all respects to the actual terms of the Rate Cap Transactions, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
