Status of Sale Process

As previously reported, on March 13, 2009, Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee for the holders (the "Noteholders") of the Company's Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior Notes"), consented to a Fifth Supplemental Indenture modifying the indenture governing the Senior Notes. As a condition to the Noteholders consent to the Company's new revolving credit facility with Burdale Capital Finance, Inc. ("Burdale") in March, the Company was required to covenant (the "Sale Covenant"), that it would initiate a process to attempt to sell the Company or all or substantially all of its assets or Senior Notes (a "Transaction"). To satisfy its obligations under the Sale Covenant, the Company appointed a special board committee of independent directors (the "Committee"), consisting of Richard A. Kassar and John J. Perkins, to oversee the sale process. The Committee engaged the firm of Scura, Rise & Partners Securities, LLC ("Scura") to act as exclusive financial advisor to the Committee to assist it in attempting to effectuate a Transaction. The Committee also engaged independent legal counsel to assist it in its work.

The Company was required under the Sale Covenant to enter into a letter of intent for a Transaction by June 21, 2009, which letter of intent, under the terms of the Sale Covenant, could be subject to requisite approvals and consents including governmental consents and the approval of Burdale, the Noteholders, and the Company's stockholders. On June 23, 2009 the Company announced that it had entered into such a letter of intent with a management buyout group led by Vincent A. Wasik, chief executive officer of the Company and his private equity firm, MCG Global, LLC (the "Management Buyout Group"). The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including financing, definitive documentation, continued listing on Nasdaq, continuation of a senior credit facility and the approval of the Noteholders and the Company's preferred and common stockholders. There is no obligation on the part of the Company to negotiate exclusively with the Management Buyout Group, but the Group will be entitled to expense reimbursement, up to a maximum of $150,000, if another transaction is accepted. The anticipated terms of the Transaction, while not final due to the need to negotiate with the various stakeholders of the Company, will involve issuances of a substantial number of shares of common stock of the Company, which will likely substantially dilute the value of the currently outstanding shares. The letter of intent may be terminated by either party if the Management Buyout Group has not received a binding financing commitment and consent of those holding at least 67% of the Senior Notes, and executed definitive documents, by July 10, 2009.

There can be no assurances that the Management Buyout Group will be successful in securing all required financing, or in negotiating requisite concessions from the Noteholders or the preferred stockholders, nor can any assurances be given that the Company will continue to be listed on Nasdaq. As previously reported, following an appeal from a de-listing determination, Nasdaq has given the Company until August 3, 2009 to come into compliance with its $2.5 million stockholder's equity requirement for continued listing. There can accordingly be no assurances that any extraordinary Transaction will be completed.
