line of credit may not exceed 150 percent of consolidated
accounts receivable. The other key terms and conditions of the
Seventh Modification Agreement are substantially the same as
those defined in the Restated Credit Agreement and subsequent
modifications. The Restated Credit Agreement was described in the
Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 17, 2011, which information is
incorporated by reference herein.
