It is also expected to have a $300 million incremental facility (subject to increase to $500 million, based upon our satisfaction of a senior debt ratio test) that would allow for additional commitments into which lenders could enter at their sole discretion.

Update on Guidance

Lamar Advertising currently expects net revenue for the first quarter of 2010 to be down approximately 1.0% on a pro forma basis versus the first quarter of 2009, which reaffirms guidance given in its February 25, 2010 earnings release.
