Other Events

On March 10, 2009, we issued a news release announcing we obtained a temporary waiver for potential lack of compliance with the financial covenant and certain conditions to borrowing in our credit agreement.

Based on preliminary evaluation of financial information for the month ended February 28, 2009, we may be out of compliance with monthly minimum adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (monthly Adjusted EBITDA) requirement of our credit agreement. We obtained a temporary waiver through April 15, 2009 for potential lack of compliance with the financial covenant and preserved access to liquidity as we may borrow up to $20 million on the revolver portion of our credit facility.

We are also negotiating with our lenders an amendment to our credit agreement to better reflect current and anticipated market conditions.

A copy of our news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
