(“Bank of Oklahoma”) and First National Bank of Kansas (each a “Bank” and collectively, the “Banks”), amending the Credit Agreement dated as of April 25, 2007 among the Company, U.S. Bank and Bank of Oklahoma, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 18, 2007 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of September 28, 2007 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”, and as amended by the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Third Amendment extends the term of the Credit Agreement for 364 days and provides for a revolving credit facility of $40 million that can be increased to $50 million if certain conditions are met. The Amended Credit Agreement terminates on March 20, 2009.

The description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment that is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, each of TYG, TYY and TYN have entered into interest rate swap contracts with U.S. Bank to protect itself from increasing interest expense on its leverage resulting from increasing short-term interest rates.
