Item 1.02.   Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 19, 2008, Precision Castparts Corp. (the “Company”) sent a notice to Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”) terminating the 364-day Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2001, among Precision Receivables Corp., the Company, Blue Ridge Asset Funding Corporation and Wachovia (as amended from time to time, the “364-Day AR Facility”). The termination will be effective on March 27, 2008.

The allowable borrowings under the 364-Day AR Facility cannot exceed $150.0 million and are a function of the level of eligible trade accounts receivable. The Company terminated the 364-Day AR Facility because the Company believes that its other credit facilities and financing alternatives provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility.
