      The following  constitutes  Amendment  No. 7 ("Amendment  No. 7") to the
Schedule  13D  filed by the  undersigned.  This  Amendment  No.  7 amends  the
Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.

      Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

      Since the filing of Amendment No. 6, James R.  Henderson,  John J. Quicke,
Hugh F. Culverhouse,  Eugene I. Davis and Howard M. Leitner ceased to be members
of the Section  13(d) group and therefore  are no longer  Reporting  Persons for
purposes of the Schedule  13D. The remaining  Reporting  Persons are filing this
Schedule 13D.


      Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

            (a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person
named herein is based upon  14,497,383  Shares  outstanding,  which is the total
number of Shares  outstanding as reported in the Issuer's  Annual Report on Form
10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2007.

            As of the close of  business  on July 18,  2007,  Steel  Partners II
beneficially  owned  1,000  Shares,  constituting  less  than  1% of the  Shares
outstanding.  As the general  partner of Steel Partners II,  Partners LLC may be
deemed  to  beneficially  own the  1,000  Shares  owned  by Steel  Partners  II,
constituting  less  than 1% of the  Shares  outstanding.  As the sole  executive
officer  and  managing  member of  Partners  LLC,  which in turn is the  general
partner of Steel Partners II, Mr. Lichtenstein may be deemed to beneficially own
the 1,000 Shares owned by Steel  Partners II,  constituting  less than 1% of the
Shares outstanding.  Mr. Lichtenstein has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect  to the  1,000  Shares  owned  by Steel  Partners  II by  virtue  of his
authority to vote and dispose of such Shares.

      Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

            Schedule A annexed  hereto lists all  transactions  in the Shares by
the Reporting  Persons  during the past 60 days. All of such  transactions  were
effected in the open market.

      Item 5(e) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

            (e) As of July 16,  2007,  the  Reporting  Persons  ceased to be the
beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Shares of the Issuer.

            Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:

            8. 2007 Power of Attorney.
