Item 8.01        Other Events

MCG Acquisition LLC (“Newco”) (an entity formed by a management buyout group led by Vincent A. Wasik, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his private equity firm, MCG Global, LLC (the “Management Group”)) has entered into a series of agreements with holders (the “Sellers”) owning approximately 99.1% of the principal amount of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes (which principal amount totals in the aggregate approximately $102 million) (the “Bond Sale Agreements”), and all of the related warrants.  The Bond Sale Agreements granted Newco the right to purchase such Senior Secured Notes and related warrants for a combination of the Sellers’ pro rata share based on all bonds outstanding of (i) $10,000,000 cash and (ii) 10% of the common stock of the Company (under certain circumstances as set forth in the Bond Sale Agreements).
 
On August 21, 2009, the Management Group assigned all of its equity interest in Newco to Comvest Velocity Holdings, LLC (“ComVest”).  Prior to the assignment of the equity interest in Newco, (i) certain members of the Management Group had entered into an agreement with ComVest establishing a framework for the negotiation of a possible restructuring of the Company that contemplates the issuance to the Management Group of 10%-20% of the common stock of the Company in connection with a restructuring of the Company under certain circumstances and (ii) Newco had entered into an agreement to sell a ComVest affiliates the Senior Secured Notes and warrants acquired pursuant to the Bond Sale Agreements.  The Management Group did not receive any consideration in this transaction other than the obligation for ComVest to provide it with such equity consideration in the event of a restructuring.  On August 27, 2009, Newco acquired approximately 76% of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes and the related warrants and immediately resold them to ComVest affiliates.  As a result of this purchase and certain additional purchases since August 27, ComVest affiliates own, in the aggregate, approximately 95% of the principal amount of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes and the related warrants.  ComVest has advised the Company that it does not require further compliance with the terms of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture requiring the Company to conduct a sale of all or substantially all of the Senior Secured Notes and/or the Company and/or the assets of the Company.
