Prior to the September 17, 2007 amendment, the size of the Company’s revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement was scheduled to be reduced by $100.0 million (to $250.0 million) on December 30, 2008. The amendment eliminates this reduction. Instead, the Company voluntarily reduced the size of its revolving credit facility by $115.0 million, to $235.0 million, effective October 1, 2007.

The September 17, 2007 amendment also contained certain other definitional and minor structural changes.
