Under the proposed Plan:

(i) There will be no recovery by the holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

(ii) Certain of the Lenders will enter into a debtor-in-possession term loan agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which they will lend an aggregate of $15 million, in the form of senior secured super-priority loan advances, as follows:

$5.0 million upon the Bankruptcy Court’s interim approval of the DIP Credit Agreement; and

$10.0 million upon final approval of the DIP Credit Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court.

(iii) Lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement will have an option to be converted into a first lien position in the principal amount of $15.0 million with an expected maturity date of March 1, 2013 and will be paid interest at an annual rate of Libor + 750 basis points with a Libor floor of 250 basis points (resulting in a current rate of 10.0%).

(iv) The $81.7 million existing senior revolving loan will be converted into a new second lien position loan, with an expected maturity date of March 1, 2016 and will be paid interest at the same rate as the DIP Credit Agreement.

(v) The existing $99.8 million senior term loan holders will receive a pro rata share of (a) a new third lien position loan in the principal amount of $44.0 million, with an expected maturity date of March 1, 2017 without any amortization required until the first and second lien loans are fully repaid and bearing interest at an annual fixed rate of 15%, with all of such interest accruing and being added to the principal balance until the first and second lien loans are fully repaid; and (b) 100% of the equity in the reorganized Company.

(vi) General unsecured creditors will share on a pro rata basis, based on the face amount of allowed claims, in a $2 to 3 million trust for general unsecured claims.

A copy of the press release dated December 7, 2010 announcing, among other things, the filing of the motion for authority to enter into the Plan Support Agreement for implementation of the proposed Plan and the DIP Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

The cautionary statements provided above are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”) and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act for any such forward-looking information. Additional risks that may affect the Company’s future performance are detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
