During fiscal 2012, $215 million of the Company’s committed credit facilities are scheduled to expire. While there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to renew or replace current agreements when they expire, based on its strong liquidity position and capital structure the Company believes it will be able to do so.

The Company’s facility agreements contain certain financial covenants relating to financial measures on a consolidated basis, as well as on a certain stand-alone subsidiary basis, including minimum net worth, minimum working capital, minimum regulatory capital, minimum net unencumbered liquid assets, minimum equity, minimum interest coverage and leverage ratios and maximum net loss. Failure to comply with any such covenants could result in the debt becoming payable on demand. As of December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under its credit facilities.
