Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On April 30, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement to Correct Page to correct drafting errors in the Term Loan Agreement dated March 31, 2010 (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with GA Capital LLC, as administrative agent, and other lenders.

Under the Term Loan Agreement, if the Company fails to achieve specified levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), the increased seasonal excess availability requirements provided for in the Agreement will become applicable throughout the remainder of the term of the Term Loan Agreement. The principal purpose of the correction was to clarify that the EBITDA test for the trailing eleven month period ending on or about December 31, 2010 is $60,880,000 (i.e. 80% of $76,100,000) rather than $76,100,000 as was initially provided in the Term Loan Agreement.

The correction also clarified that other Indebtedness permitted by the Term Loan Agreement could be incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, rather than merely by the Company as was initially provided in the Term Loan Agreement.  A copy of this agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.24 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
