                Section 1---Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01.        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On August 1, 2006, we entered into a interest rate cap transaction with
LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle"), allowing us to limit our exposure
on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement ("Rate Cap
Transaction"). Under the Rate Cap Transaction, we will receive payments from
LaSalle each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month
LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The Rate Cap Transaction
(attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1) caps our LIBOR interest rate on a
notional amount of $50 million at 5.75% for a total of 36 months in exchange for
a one-time payment of $300,000. The Rate Cap Transaction is effective August 4,
2006, and will settle each quarter on a date that is intended to coincide with
our quarterly interest payment dates on our LIBOR contracts.

     The foregoing summary is subject in all respects to the actual terms of the
Rate Cap Transaction, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this form
8-K.
