Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Preliminary Results for Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2014

Based on the information available to us as of the date of this Form 8-K, we estimate our net revenue for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 will be between $95.6 million and $99.4 million, as compared to $100.3 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013, and we estimate our Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014 will be between $12.5 million and $13.0 million, as compared to $17.8 million for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013. Based on such estimates and the information available to us as of the date of this Form 8-K, we anticipate that, as of June 30, 2014, an event of default will have occurred under our senior secured credit facility due to non-compliance with certain financial covenants contained therein. We are working with our advisors and lenders to reach a solution to this matter, which solution may include an amendment, waiver or refinancing. We are, and expect to remain, current on all obligations, including those under both our senior secured credit facility and our senior unsecured notes due 2018.
