ITEM  5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     As reported in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 29, 2002, we obtained a waiver from the lenders under our revolving credit facility with respect to compliance with certain covenants that required us to maintain a specified interest coverage ratio and restricted our ability to make certain payments, which waiver subsequently was extended from December 2 to December 13, 2002. Effective December 13, 2002, we consummated with the lenders an amendment to the revolving credit facility that, among other things, addresses those covenants and brings us into full compliance with them. The amendment is being filed as an exhibit to this report.
