Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As of July 26, 2005, the Bank of New York, as Lender, the Registrant, as Borrower, and the Registrant’s domestic subsidiaries, as Guarantors, entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit and Guarantee Agreement dated as of March 21, 2003 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Lender, the Registrant, and the Registrant’s domestic subsidiaries. The Amendment serves to increase the revolving loan commitment made available to the Registrant pursuant to the Credit Agreement from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 and provides for an extension of the maturity date of the revolving loan from March 21, 2006 to June 30, 2008. The term loan that was the subject of the Credit Agreement, having been previously been paid by the Registrant, was deleted from the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Amendment operates to modify various covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Amendment, the Lender’s security interest in assets of the Registrant and the domestic subsidiaries was terminated other than in the stock of the domestic subsidiaries owned by the Registrant and in any pledged debt.
There is no material relationship between the Registrant and the Lender other than pursuant to the agreements described above.
