Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (originally dated June 25, 2003). Key changes include:
- Establishment of minimum adjusted EBITDA thresholds for 2005, measured monthly or quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis.
- Definition of maximum capital expenditures allowed under the Loan Agreement covenants for 2005.
- Implementation of a process for the administrative agent to set future EBITDA thresholds and capital expenditure limits for periods after 2005.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or a discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the Company's compliance with the newly established financial covenants (EBITDA and capital expenditure limits) under the amended loan agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc. and other lenders.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific numerical values for the 2005 minimum adjusted EBITDA thresholds and maximum capital expenditures in Exhibit 4.1 (Amendment No. 5).
