(formerly Bank One, NA), as Administrative Agent.

      Pursuant to the Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), we were granted permission to incur up to an additional $100 million in aggregate principal amount of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), for a total of $375 million.

      Certain of the Lenders and their affiliates have provided to us and our affiliates in the past, and may provide from time to time in the future, certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.

      The Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report on Form 8-K.

      $150 Million 6 ⅜% Notes due 2015:

      On March 2, 2005, we priced our previously announced private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) due 2015, to be offered by the initial purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The notes may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 6 ⅜% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year commencing on September 15, 2005.
