During April 2012, the Company obtained a new $400.0 million unsecured term loan with a consortium of banks, which accrues interest at LIBOR plus 105 basis points.  The term loan is scheduled to mature in April 2014, with three additional one-year options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to April 17, 2017. Proceeds from this term loan will be used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of upcoming debt maturities.
