Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 25, 2007, the Registrant and its lending banks (the “Lenders”) entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) of certain provisions of its secured revolving credit agreement dated as of January 31, 2007, as amended to date (the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders which provides for maximum borrowings of $150,000,000. Pursuant to the Waiver, the consenting Lenders agreed to waive the Registrant’s compliance with certain of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, primarily relating to financial reporting and the pending Vitesse-related class action, each as previously disclosed by the Registrant. Pursuant to the Waiver, the Registrant agreed that until the earlier of December 31, 2007 or the date on which the Registrant becomes current in its filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement will be reduced by $7,500,000.

A copy of the Waiver is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

In addition, on October 25, 2007, the Registrant issued a press release with respect to the foregoing, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto.
