This amendment lowered the tangible net worth requirement to facilitate the payment of the special dividend. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (revenue, profit, or cash flow) for the current period versus prior periods.

The credit facility expires on January 1, 2008. The dividend payment is contingent on the absence of an "Event of Default" under the credit facility at the time of payment.
