The Company's ability to effectuate this transaction and reduce the outstanding indebtedness from $33.9 million at June 30, 2009 was facilitated by the Company's $18.8 million private placement of senior notes and warrants completed on October 8, 2009.

Following the execution of the Eighth Amendment, the following material changes were made to the Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Eighth Amendment.

? The definition of Interest Expense was revised to exclude non-cash items recorded as interest under GAAP. ? The facility includes one mandatory step down requiring the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount to be reduced to $15.0 million by June 30, 2010.
