ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On August 2, 2006, the Company executed a $55 million, five-year, secured Revolving Credit Facility with LaSalle Business Credit, LLC, as agent for the several financial institutions party to the facility. This new five year facility replaces the previous $35 million facility that was due to expire in August 2006. Under the new facility, available borrowings will be based on 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 60% of eligible inventory or 85% liquidation value of inventory, 70% of appraised value of mortgaged real estate and 80% liquidation value of equipment.  The new agreement, which expires August 2, 2011, also has an accordion feature enabling the credit facility to be increased by an additional $25 million, subject to customary conditions.  Outstanding borrowings under the new agreement will bear interest at rates based on the prime or LIBOR rates as outlined in the agreement. The new facility is subject to acceleration on the occurrence of certain customary events of default.
