We increased the borrowed amount to $350.0 million and used the $125.0 million of incremental new proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility.  The amended term loan is now scheduled to mature in June 2020 and the interest rate, based on our current credit ratings, was reduced from LIBOR plus 175 basis points to LIBOR plus 110 basis points.  The interest rate is based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody&#8217;s Investors Service or Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services.
