("Worthington Industries") entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") amending the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement") among Worthington Industries, as Borrower; PNC Bank, National Association, as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent, and various lenders party to the Credit Agreement, amending its long-term revolving credit facility.

The Credit Agreement represents a syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility under which aggregate revolving credit commitments of $435 million will be available. Worthington Industries has the right to reduce the aggregate amount of the revolving credit commitments.

The Amendment provides for an extension of the revolving credit commitments to May 6, 2013 for all commitments except for the $35 million commitment of Comerica Bank which will expire on September 29, 2010. In addition, the Amendment increases the facility fees and applicable percentage for base rate and Eurodollar loans payable from the amounts provided for in the Credit Agreement.

As of May 6, 2008, there were loans (including swingline loans) or letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement in the amount of $149.25 million.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
