Item 1.01.    Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 28, 2008, Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which amended the Company’s existing Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated September 5, 2003, as amended as of May 29, 2004, April 14, 2005, June 28, 2005, June 8, 2006, March 28, 2007, August 13, 2007 and October 23, 2007  (the “Credit Agreement”) with LaSalle Bank National Association and Fifth Third Bank (the “Lenders”). The Amended Credit Agreement waived compliance with the Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Loan Agreement, for the 2007 year-end and modifies the required ratio for prospective quarters. The Company expects to be in compliance with the new ratios. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the revolving credit facility was increased by $3,000,000 to $18,000,000 until September 30, 2008 at which time it is reduced back to $15,000,000. The revolving credit facility expires in June 2009.

The Credit Agreement provides that, at the Company’s option, the term loan and revolving credit facility will bear interest at prime or a performance-based LIBOR rate. Based on the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and the Company’s performance for the twelve month period ended December March 29, 2007, the performance based rates would be LIBOR plus 2.50% for both the term loan and borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Payment of accrued interest is due and payable quarterly by the Company. Payments of principal under the term loan are payable on a quarterly basis with a final payment of all remaining unpaid principal due March 31, 2011.

The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain levels of EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) or debt service coverage, consolidated net worth and to maintain certain ratios including consolidated debt to cash flow (as defined). Additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, repurchases of Company stock and payment of cash dividends are either limited or require prior approval by the Lenders. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, and a change in control, the occurrence of which could cause all amounts under the Credit Agreement to become immediately due and payable.

In connection with the Amended Credit Agreement, each guarantor under the Credit Agreement (certain of the Company’s subsidiaries) consented to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement and agreed that the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement shall not affect its obligations and liabilities under any loan document.

                All other material terms of the Credit Agreement remain in force, except to the extent they have been modified by the Amended Credit Agreement. The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. LOANS

SECTION 2.1    REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

                Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make loans to Borrower, from time to time from the date of this Agreement through the Termination Date, at such times and in such amounts, not to exceed the amount of each such Lender’s Commitment - Revolving Credit, at any one time outstanding, as Borrower may request (the “Revolving Credit Loan(s)”).  During such period, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, neither Lender shall make any Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Note if at any time the sum of: (a) the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Notes and due such Lender, plus (b) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations equals or exceeds such Lender’s Commitment - Revolving Credit.  All outstanding “Revolving Credit Loans” (as defined in the Prior Loan

8

Agreement) shall be deemed Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note.

SECTION 2.2    REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

                The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by revolving credit notes (as amended or restated from time to time, each a “Revolving Credit Note”) dated of even date herewith, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, dated the date hereof, payable to the order of each Lender, in the principal amount of the Commitment - Revolving Credit of each such Lender, and with the amounts borrowed and repaid and the balance indorsed on the grid by such Lender.  As long as such Lender is the holder of such Revolving Credit Note it may, at its option, in lieu of endorsing the grid, record the amounts borrowed and repaid under and the balance due on the Revolving Credit Note in each such Lender’s respective books and records, which books and records may treat each Borrowing as a separate Revolving Credit Loan; such endorsement or recording by such Lender shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal balance due on each Revolving Credit Note.  The principal of each Revolving Credit Note shall be payable in full on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.3    LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower in this Agreement, and in any master letter of credit agreement or other additional document that the L/C Issuer requests that Borrower execute, L/C Issuer agrees to issue from time to time upon the request of and for the account of Borrower one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.3 during the period, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Business Day prior to the Termination Date, with a maturity date on any Letter of Credit no later than one year after the first to occur of the issuance thereof or the Termination Date.  If, and to the extent, the terms and provisions of this Agreement contradict or conflict with the terms and provisions of any master letter of credit agreement executed by Borrower in favor of the L/C Issuer, the terms and provisions of such master letter of credit agreement shall govern and control.

                (a)           The obligation of the L/C Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

                                (1)           after giving effect to the requested issuance of any Letter of Credit (i) the total outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will not exceed $5,000,000, and (ii) the sum of the total outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and the total outstanding Revolving Credit Loans will not exceed the aggregate Commitment — Revolving Credit for all Lenders (for all purposes hereof, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder);

                                (2)           Borrower shall have delivered to the L/C Issuer at the time and manner as the L/C Issuer may prescribe the documents and materials requested by the L/C Issuer and the proposed Letter of Credit must be satisfactory to the L/C Issuer as to form and content;

                                (3)           as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment, or decree of any court, arbitrator, or governmental agency shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing the Letter of Credit, and no law, rule, or regulation applicable to the L/C Issuer and no request or directive from any governmental agency shall prohibit or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit; and

                                (4)           Borrower must comply with the L/C Issuer’s normal procedures for the issuance of letters of credit generally.

                (b)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit application from Borrower, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application from Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment to

9

a Letter of Credit, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit or amendment thereof, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit or amendment thereof in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the face amount of such Letter of Credit.

                (c)           Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

                (d)           Upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify Borrower and the Agent of the amount to be paid by the L/C Issuer as a result of such drawing and the date which payment is to be made by the L/C Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment — Revolving Credit.  Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Agent pursuant to this Section may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

                (e)           Each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to subsection 2.3(d) above make funds available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan to Borrower in such amount.  The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.  If the Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to this subsection 2.3(e) are not sufficient to satisfy the Unreimbursed Amount, each Lender (including the Lender acting as L/C Issuer) shall make additional funds available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Agent’s office in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent.  All amounts paid by each Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute additional loans made by each Lender to Borrower hereunder, immediately due and payable with interest at the Default Rate until paid.

                (f)            Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to this Section 2.3 or otherwise reimburses the L/C Issuer for any Unreimbursed Amount, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

                (g)           Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or otherwise reimburse the L/C Issuer for Unreimbursed Amounts, as contemplated by this Section 2.3, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, or (3) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

                (h)           If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3 by the time specified in this Section 2.3, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.3 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

10

                (i)            In the event that L/C Issuer has issued any Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, L/C Issuer may, at any time upon or after (1) the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or (2) the Termination Date, request of Borrower, and Borrower shall thereupon deliver to L/C Issuer, cash collateral for any Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrowers in an amount equal to 110% of the sum of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.  If Borrower fails to deliver such cash to L/C Issuer promptly upon L/C Issuer’s request therefor, L/C Issuer, any Lender and/or Agent may, without limiting L/C Issuer’s, any Lender’s or Agent’s rights or remedies arising from such failure to deliver cash, retain, as cash collateral, any of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets, including cash on deposit, in an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations.  L/C Issuer and/or Agent may at any time apply any or all of such cash and cash collateral to the payment of any or all of Borrower’s obligations and liabilities to L/C Issuer, the Lenders and/or the Agent, including, without limitation, to the payment of any or all of Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.4    TERM LOAN.

                Prior hereto, each Lender, severally and not jointly, lent to Borrower, and Borrower borrowed from each Lender, the amount of each Lender’s “Commitment - Term Loan”, “Additional Commitment -  Term Loan” and “2006 Additional Commitment — Term Loan” (as each such term is defined in the Prior Loan Agreement) (collectively the “Term Loan”), which Term Loan has an outstanding principal balance of $12,800,000.00 as of March 28, 2008.

                All payments and prepayments of principal, interest, closing fees and Commitment Fees shall be made in immediately available funds to each respective Lender at its main banking office in Chicago, Illinois.  If any payment due hereunder is due on a date that is not a Business Day, then such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the amount of interest and fees due hereunder unless, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, such immediately succeeding Business Day is the first Business Day of the next calendar month, in which case such due date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

SECTION 4.2    MANNER OF BORROWING.

                Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable written or telephonic notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) by 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, (a) on the date at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of each requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, and (b) on the date of any requested Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of Borrowing, which must be a Business Day, the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, the type of Loans to comprise such Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Agent will then promptly notify the Lenders in writing or by telephone (which such notice in the case of Fifth Third, if it relates to Revolving Credit Loan Borrowings constituting Prime Rate Loans, may be made before or after LaSalle has funded its Pro Rata Share of such requested Loans) and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans, the Agent shall give notice to Borrower and to the Lenders of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Agent has made such determination. The Lenders, on the date of Borrowing any Revolving Credit Loan, shall each remit their Pro Rata Share of any requested Revolving Credit Loan to Borrower’s account maintained with Agent, except to the extent such

13

Borrowing is either a reborrowing, in whole or in part, of the principal amount of an outstanding Borrowing of Loans (a “Refunding Borrowing”) or an L/C Refinancing Borrowing, in which case each Lender shall record the Loan made by it as a part of such Refunding Borrowing or L/C Refinancing Borrowing, as the case may be, on its books or records or on a schedule to the appropriate Note, and shall effect the repayment, in whole or in part, as appropriate, of its maturing Loan or reimbursement obligation through the proceeds of such new Loan.  At the time LaSalle has made a Revolving Credit Loan, Fifth Third shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Loan and the obligation to remit to LaSalle on such day its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Loan shall be absolute and irrevocable. Each Borrowing from the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment - Revolving Credit.  Each payment and prepayment made by Borrower shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the respective amounts of the Loans outstanding immediately prior to such payment or prepayment.  Unless Borrower notifies the Agent to the contrary, upon the expiration of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, such LIBOR Loan shall automatically convert to a Prime Rate Loan.  Each LIBOR Loan shall mature and become due and payable by Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 4.3    CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES, ETC.

                (a)           Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender such amounts as will compensate each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loans hereunder or of maintaining its Commitment - Revolving Credit to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, caused by any change in any reserve, tax, capital guidelines, special deposit, or similar requirement with respect to assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, or commitments extended by, such Lender which are imposed on such Lender and which are caused by any change in law, treaty, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), any interpretation thereof by any governmental, fiscal, monetary or other authority charged with the administration thereof or having jurisdiction over such Loan or such Lender, or any requirement imposed by any such authority, whether or not having the force of law.  Such additional amounts shall be payable on demand.  Such Lender’s calculation of such additional amounts shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

                (b)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time after the date hereof any change in applicable law or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain LIBOR Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, with a copy to the Agent and the other Lender, and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain LIBOR Loans under this Agreement shall terminate until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans. Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected LIBOR Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected LIBOR Loan from such Lender by means of a Prime Rate Loan from such Lender that shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.

                (c)           If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans: (i)  the Agent advises Borrower that deposits in United States Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank eurodollar market, for such Interest Period, or (ii)  either Lender advises Borrower that LIBOR as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding its LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, then, until the Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended.

SECTION 4.4    FUNDING INDEMNITY.

                In the event any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of

14

                (a)           any payment (including prepayment) of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period for any reason, whether before or after default, and whether or not such payment is required by any provisions of this Agreement, or

                (b)           any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Borrowing or otherwise) by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Borrowing Notice,

then, upon the demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense.  If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to Borrower, with a copy to the Agent and the other Lender, a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed rebuttably presumptive evidence of the correctness thereof absent manifest error.

SECTION 4.5    DISCRETION OF LENDERS AS TO MANNER OF FUNDING.

                Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate, for such Interest Period.

SECTION 4.6    PREPAYMENTS.

                If at any given time from and after the date of this Agreement, the amount of Revolving Credit Loans plus all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the then aggregate amount of the Commitment-Revolving Credit of all Lenders, then Borrower shall immediately repay to the Lenders that amount necessary to reduce the unpaid and outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans such that the amount of Revolving Credit Loans plus all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations is equal to or less than the then aggregate amount of the Commitment-Revolving Credit of all Lenders.

                (i)            Noncompliance with this Agreement.  Borrower shall fail to comply with any material provision hereof, which failure does not otherwise constitute an Event of Default, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Borrower by the Agent or either Lender or any other holder of a Note; or

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in subsections (k)-(m) of Section 8.1, all of the Notes and any other amounts owed to both Lenders, including without limitation any accrued but unpaid Commitment Fee, shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without action of any kind on the part of either Lender or any other holder of a Note.  Upon the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, any obligation of either Lender to make Loans shall immediately and automatically terminate without action of any kind on the part of the Agent or either Lender until such Event of Default is waived by the Lenders, if ever, or such Unmatured Event of Default is cured within the applicable cure period, if any.  Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, notice and protest of any kind in connection herewith.  The Agent shall promptly give Borrower written notice of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration.  No delay or omission on the part of the Agent, the Lenders or any holder of a Note in exercising any power or right hereunder or under such Note shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right.

                The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, except with regard to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested by the Lenders in accordance with Section 8 hereof; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

                Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

SECTION 9.7    INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT.

                Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including legal fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Loans, the termination of the Letters of Credit or the resignation or replacement of the Agent) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Persons in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the Letters of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not the Agent-Related Person so indemnified is a party thereto; provided, however, that the Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify any Agent-Related Person under this Section 9.7 with respect to obligations resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

SECTION 9.8    AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

                LaSalle and its affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and affiliates as though LaSalle were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, LaSalle or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, LaSalle shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent.

                The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders.  If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the applicable provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION

REPORTS AUDITED 2007 RESULTS

CHICAGO, March 31 — Continental Materials Corporation (AMEX; CUO) today reported a net loss of $563,000, 35 cents per diluted share for the fiscal 2007 year on sales of $168,429,000. In the prior year, net income was $2,042,000, $1.27 per diluted share on sales of $158,767,000.

Sales volume in the Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Materials segment in 2007 were lower compared to the prior year due to the slowdown in construction along the Front Range in Colorado. Profit margins in this segment also declined due to the lower sales volume and increased fuel and materials prices. Sales in the Company’s Door segment were substantially higher than the previous year due to strong demand from a variety of sectors including healthcare and educational institutions. Profit margins improved for this segment in 2007 due principally to the increased sales. Sales in the Heating and Cooling segment were higher as a result of an increase in fan coil shipments. The higher sales level was achieved primarily due to the strengthened sales organization and distribution network. Operating profits in this segment declined however due to increased commodity prices, higher employee healthcare costs and additional sales incentives connected with the heating products. Also, additional expenses were incurred in connection with a business systems conversion and the continuing development of a product configuration program. Sales of evaporative coolers were about the same as the prior year. However, operating profits for this segment declined due to higher costs for raw materials, an increase in employee healthcare expenses and other factory overhead costs. Expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s preparation to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act also contributed to the diminished operating results.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1,431,000 or 89 cents per diluted share on sales of $40,411,000. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $384,000, or 24 cents per diluted share on sales of $40,455,000. The operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1,999,000 compared to an operating profit of $978,000 in the prior year. The slowdown in construction in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado markets was even more pronounced in the fourth quarter of 2007 than for the year as a whole. Sales of heating products were lower in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to a year ago due to warm weather that prevailed in the principal market areas throughout most of the quarter. Profit margins in the Heating and Cooling Segment were lower due to the reasons cited above.  Most of the expenses associated with the Sarbanes Oxley compliance mentioned above were incurred in the fourth quarter.

The effective income tax rate for 2007 was a benefit of 61.6%. The statutory rate of 34% was increased principally due to the 19.4% benefit from percentage depletion and a 16.3% benefit for future state tax credits resulting from operations within an Enterprise Zone in California. The effective income tax rate for 2006 was increased for adjustments made to state taxes.
