Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company continues to negotiate with its lenders to reset certain covenants under its credit agreement, to amend certain other terms of the agreement and with respect to the Company’s proposal to extend for a period of two years the March 2013 current maturity, with any such extension being conditioned on raising a set amount of new secured financing, a significant portion of which would be applied towards the repayment of the term loan under the credit agreement. It is expected that these negotiations will also result in a reduction to the lenders’ revolving credit commitments. As these discussions are ongoing, there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be reached between the Company and the lenders with respect to any or all of the modifications referred to above or as to the terms of any definitive agreement that may be reached.
