Material Changes and Agreements
On November 14, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with its lenders, including UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as the administrative agent. Key terms include:
- Forbearance Period: Lenders agreed to temporarily refrain from exercising default-related rights and remedies from November 14, 2008, until the earlier of a new forbearance default or December 10, 2008.
- Restructuring Goal: The forbearance period is intended to allow the Borrowers to effectuate a financial restructuring.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management is actively seeking to effectuate a financial restructuring during the forbearance period. The primary risk identified is the existing and anticipated breach of the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant, which has triggered a formal Event of Default. The company relies on the temporary forbearance from lenders to avoid immediate enforcement actions while restructuring efforts are underway.
