Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On September 19, 2008, First Data Corporation announced that an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. provides a commitment in the amount of $230.6 million of our $2 billion revolving credit facility. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 18, 2008, the affiliate declined to participate in a request for funding under our revolving credit agreement and we have no assurances that they will participate in any future funding requests or that we could obtain replacement loan commitments from other banks.   In the event we decide to draw upon the revolving credit facility and the affiliate of Lehman doesn't fund its obligation in accordance with the credit agreement, we believe we have sufficient other funding sources to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
