The Credit Agreement Amendments waive the covenant regarding required minimum balance in cash, cash equivalents and revolver availability (the “

The Company previously obtained a waiver of the Minimum Cash Balance Covenant under each of the Credit Facilities on September 30, 2011 through and including November 10, 2011, and the Credit Agreement Amendments extend such waiver through and including November 15, 2011.
All other material terms of the Credit Facilities remain unchanged.
