On May 19, 2009, the Company and the noteholders entered into an agreement that confirmed that the amended fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio also apply to the covenants restricting the Company’s ability to incur additional debt.  As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries may incur additional debt as long as they continue to be in compliance with the revised covenants after incurring the debt.
