As described in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into a second amendment, dated as of October 27, 2016, to our existing credit agreement with the lenders and TD Bank, N.A. as administrative agent.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 27, 2016, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries entered into a second amendment to our existing credit agreement with the lenders and TD Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Second Amendment”). We originally entered into our existing credit agreement on June 15, 2015, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2015 (the “Credit Agreement”).

Among other things, the Second Amendment increases the revolving line of credit available from our lenders to $350.0 million from $175.0 million, increases the option to increase the revolving commitment to an additional $150.0 million from an additional $50.0 million, and extends the maturity date of the revolving line of credit from June 15, 2020 to October 27, 2021. Other than the changes described in the Second Amendment, we otherwise remain subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended to date.

The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be a complete description of all of the terms, provisions, covenants, and agreements contained in the Second Amendment and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.113(a) and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

On October 31, 2016, we issued a press release regarding the Second Amendment. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
