On August 2, 2012, the Company and MidMarket Capital Partners, LLC (“MidMarket”) entered into a Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) pursuant to which, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, MidMarket committed to provide, through one or more of its affiliates, a term loan credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000.  The Commitment Letter contemplates that the loan facility will be guarantied by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and that the Company and such guarantors will pledge substantially all of their assets as collateral for the obligations under the loan facility.  The Commitment Letter contemplates that the proceeds of the loan facility will be used to partially refinance existing indebtedness of the Company and to financing certain targeted acquisitions of the Company.  The Commitment Letter also contemplates that the Company will issue warrants to MidMarket to purchase up to 10% of the Company’s common stock (on a fully diluted basis).

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the definitive documentation to be negotiated and executed in connection therewith.
