As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the sub-limit was approximately $150.0 million, of which $5.0 million was drawn by us and the remaining amount drawn by Clear Channel Communications.

In addition to net cash flows from operations, another source of liquidity is through borrowings under a $150.0 million sub-limit included in Clear Channel Communications multicurrency $2.0 billion revolving credit facility with a maturity in July 2014. Certain of our International subsidiaries may borrow under the sub-limit at times which Clear Channel Communications has not already borrowed against this capacity and Clear Channel Communications is in compliance with its covenants under the revolving credit facility. The obligations of these International subsidiaries that are borrowers under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the assets of such borrowers and guarantors, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions. At March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the sub-limit was approximately $5.0 million, the remaining $145.0 mill
