The amendment provides for, among other things, the following:

· The consent of the lenders to refinance, repurchase or redeem the Company's 15% convertible subordinated debentures and the Company's 15% unsecured promissory notes prior to the maturity date thereof with advances from the Company's credit facility, subject to borrowing availability thresholds.

· On the effective date of the amendment, the interest rates applicable to our outstanding borrowings under the credit facility will increase, such that the margin added to the index rate will increase to between 2.25%-2.75% and the margin added to the LIBOR rate will increase to between 3.75%-4.25%, in each case depending upon the level of excess formula availability as defined in the Credit Agreement. As of the effective date of the amendment, the margin added to the index rate will be 2.50% and the margin added to the LIBOR rate will be 4.00%.

· The decrease in the amount of the aggregate amount of the credit facility from $263 million to $190 million.
