The Company closed on a five-year, $300 million revolving credit facility (the "2006 Facility") that can be utilized for general corporate purposes, including external growth opportunities. The 2006 Facility was jointly led by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and SunTrust Bank, with Wachovia Bank, National Association acting as Administrative Agent. The three banks acted as Joint Bookrunners for the 2006 Facility, which was syndicated to a select group of lenders including: Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan") and Regions Bank. Bank of America and JPMorgan also acted as Co-Documentation Agents. The 2006 Facility replaces ISC's prior $300 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in September 2008 (the "2003 Facility"). The 2003 Facility was terminated on June 16, 2006 simultaneously with the closing on the 2006 Facility. The Company elected to terminate the 2003 Facility and enter into the 2006 Facility at this time to take advantage of favorable financial market conditions. The 2006 Facility is scheduled to terminate June 2011 unless extended.

Pricing on the 2006 Facility ranges from LIBOR + 0.3% to LIBOR + 0.8%, depending on ISC's highest debt rating as determined by Moody's or S&P. Comparable pricing on ISC's 2003 Facility ranged from LIBOR + 0.625% to LIBOR + 1.5%, and was also contingent on ISC's highest debt rating. The 2006 Facility also contains a feature that allows for ISC to increase the Facility to a total of $500 million, subject to certain conditions. Other than the more favorable pricing and the above feature, the material terms and condition so of the 2006 Facility are substantially identical to the 2003 Facility (the 2003 Facility has previously been filed).

The Company issued a press release on June 16, 2006 which reported the closing of the 2006 Facility.

A copy of the release is attached as an exhibit to this report.
