Material Changes and Agreements
- First Amendment: On December 3, 2008, the Company entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment to Forbearance Agreement with its lenders and UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing indicates significant liquidity risk, evidenced by the necessity of a forbearance agreement and the waiver of defaults. The company's ability to maintain credit extensions is contingent on not triggering a "forbearance default" or making payments on specific notes before the extended deadline of December 19, 2008. The text does not provide management commentary on future operational outlook or specific risk factors beyond the immediate credit situation.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific nature of the "certain defaults" that were waived under the amendments.
- Confirm the status of the Company's senior secured and senior subordinated notes and whether any payments were made prior to December 19, 2008.
- Review the full text of Exhibits 10.64.a and 10.64.b for detailed terms of the waivers and conditions for continued credit extensions.
- Assess the Company's liquidity position relative to the December 19, 2008 deadline to determine the risk of an immediate forbearance default.
