     The credit agreement provides for a maximum borrowing of $300.0 million and terminates on December 21, 2009. This maximum borrowing may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement. The credit agreement contains a sublimit of $100.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit. Amounts borrowed under the credit agreement may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until December 21, 2009.

     Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest, at our option, at either (a) the bank’s base rate, described in the credit agreement as the higher of the annual rate of the lead bank’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (b) LIBOR (a publicly published rate) plus, in either case, a spread based upon our consolidated leverage ratio. Based on our current leverage ratio, borrowings would be eligible for a spread of 0.0% for revolving borrowings based on prime rate or the federal funds rate and 1.0% for revolving borrowings based on LIBOR. Under the credit agreement, we agree to pay a facility fee, payable quarterly, at rates that range from 0.2% to 0.375% of the unutilized commitments, depending on our leverage ratio, provided that in the event we are utilizing less than one-third of the facility, the fee will be 0.375% of the unutilized commitments. Payments under the credit agreement are guaranteed by most of our subsidiaries.
     On September 12, 2005, we amended our credit agreement to allow for the issuance and sale of up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes and the application of the net proceeds of such notes offering towards payment for the shares tendered in the Offer. The amendment also amends, among other things, certain financial covenants in the credit agreement and provides that a modification of the subordination provisions of the indenture will be a default under the credit agreement. After giving effect to the amendment we are required to (1) maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of (a) prior to the consummation of the tender offer, not greater than 2.75 to 1.00 and (b) after the tender offer, not greater than 3.00 to 1.00, (2) maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.75 to 1.00, as measured at the end of each fiscal quarter and (3) maintain consolidated tangible net worth, which will be calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter, of not less than (a) prior to the consummation of the tender offer, $200.0 million plus 50% of consolidated net income (if positive) from December 21, 2004 to the date of computation plus 75% of the equity issuances made from December 21, 2004 to the date of computation and (b) after the consummation of the tender offer, $50.0 million plus 50% of consolidated net income (if positive) from the effective date of the amendment to the date of computation plus 75% of the equity issuances made from the date of the amendment to the date of computation. As of July 30, 2005, we had no borrowings under the credit agreement and had $37.3 million face amount of letters of credit outstanding under the facility sublimit for letters of credit. We may borrow up to $50.0 million under the credit agreement to pay a portion of the shares of our common stock tendered in the Offer.
