Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Company has received commitments from financial institutions for a syndicated second-lien senior secured term loan in the principal amount of $80 million. The syndication and closing of this term loan will be finalized upon the Company securing a proposed amendment to its existing first-lien senior credit facility and after all appropriate documentation is completed. The new term loan will bear interest at 12% cash plus 3% additional pay-in-kind interest. The amendment to the existing credit facility which the Company is in the process of finalizing will permit the new term loan, amend certain financial covenants and extend the scheduled repayment dates of the existing terms loans and the revolving credit commitments by approximately 12 to 18 months.
