On August 19, 2011, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility to increase the committed amount from $525 million to $775 million and the accordion feature from $125 million to $225 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility up to an aggregate $1 billion, subject to lenders' consent. The amendment also increased the inventory financing sublimit tranche that we may use to finance the purchase and sale of certain petroleum products subject to sales contracts or hedging agreements and related storage and transportation costs from $75 million to $125 million. We deferred approximately $3.0 million of costs incurred in connection with this amendment and will amortize these costs over the remaining life of the credit facility.

All borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest, at our option, either at an alternate base rate or a Eurodollar rate. The applicable margin, which is a component of the interest on both the alternate base rate and the Eurodollar rate borrowings, previously varied from 1.5% to 2.5% per annum for alternate base rate borrowings and from 2.5% to 3.5% per annum for Eurodollar rate borrowings, depending on our leverage ratio. The amendment reduced the applicable margin to 1.0% to 2.0% per annum for alternate base rate borrowings and 2.0% to 3.0% per annum for Eurodollar borrowings, depending on our leverage ratio. In addition, the amendment changed the commitment fee on the unused commitment amount from 0.500% per annum to 0.375% to 0.500% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $367.9 million borrowed under our senior secured credit facility, with $47.9 million of that amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. Additionally, we had $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date of June 30, 2015. The total amount available for borrowings at September 30, 2011 was $402.8 million under our credit facility.

We believe the amounts included in our balance sheet for debt outstanding under our senior secured credit facility approximate fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. At September 30, 2011, $250 million of senior unsecured notes were outstanding, which had a fair value of approximately $235.3 million.

We believe we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit facility and indenture as of September 30, 2011.
