Item 1.01 Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
January 8, 2009, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to its Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
individually and as administrative agent, and three other commercial
banks. The amendment extends the facility termination date of the
credit agreement until January 22, 2009 and resets the aggregate commitment of
the lenders to $50,000,000, the amount of loans currently outstanding under the
agreement. Raymond James & Associates, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Company, has various banking arrangements with the lenders under this credit
agreement. This extension provides additional time for the Company to enter into
a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with an expanded group
of lenders.
