OVERVIEW Capital Automotive LLC recently extended the maturities of its revolving credit facility and term loan by two years to December 2011 and December 2012, respectively. We affirmed our 'B' corporate credit ratings on Capital Automotive LLC and Capital Automotive L.P. (collectively, CARS) and maintain our negative outlook. We also affirmed our 'B' rating on CARS' senior secured debt, reflecting our recovery rating of '3' on this debt, and we assigned our 'B' rating to Capital Automotive L.P.'s new term loan B. The loan extension addresses near-term refinancing concerns; however, our ratings and negative outlook continue to reflect our expectation for the REIT's auto dealer tenants to remain under pressure into 2010 and for CARS' financial profile to remain highly
