Consulting Agreement—Carlyle

        In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into a consulting agreement with Carlyle under which we pay Carlyle a fee for consulting services Carlyle provides to us and our subsidiaries. Under this agreement, subject to certain conditions, we expect to pay an annual consulting fee to Carlyle of $3,000; we reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses, and we pay them additional fees associated with other future transactions. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, these fees totaled $2,250 and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Carlyle also received a one-time transaction fee of $30,000 upon effectiveness of the Merger. Of this amount, $14,324 was recorded in Merger expenses and $15,676 was included with deferred financing costs.
