Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 5, 2010, we issued a press release with respect to certain operational matters and the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

In the press release referenced in Item 7.01 above, we announced that we had amended and restated our revolving credit facility. Under the amendment and restatement, the available credit line was increased from $500 million to $900 million, with an accordion feature allowing us to increase the available credit line to $1.0 billion if any one or more of the existing banks or new banks agree to provide such increased commitment amount. In addition, the facility now provides for a $1.5 billion borrowing base and has a maturity date of September 2015 (extended from April 2012). The financial covenants under the facility were not changed.
