In connection with the Warrant Agreement, the Investors have agreed to provide letters of credit to enhance the collateral for the Company’s credit facility. In consideration for the Investors providing the letters of credit, the Company has agreed among other things to grant to the Investors certain warrants.

The Warrant Agreement provides that in the event the Company has not provided written notice to the Investors on or before February 28, 2002, that states that the Company no longer desires or requires that the Investors continue to maintain their letters of credit, the Company will issue to the Investors warrants that are exercisable for up to an aggregate amount of 764,328 shares of common stock (the “B Warrants”).

Subsequent to the establishment of the Company’s credit facility, the Company has substantially reduced its reliance on the credit facility through alternative financing mechanisms. However, the Company’s lender has not yet released the requirement that the Investors’ maintain their respective letters of credit. As a result of the Company’s reduced reliance on the credit facility, the credit exposure of the Investors has been substantially reduced.

In consideration of this reduction of credit exposure, the Investors agree to extend the warrant issuance date under the Warrant Agreement for the B Warrants until March 31, 2002 pending further discussions with the Company’s lender regarding the release of the Investors’ letters of credit; provided, however, that this extension will only be effective to the extent the Company’s borrowings under the credit facility do not exceed the amount of funds held in the lockbox associated with the credit facility. In the event the Company’s borrowings at any time exceed the cash funds in the lockbox associated with the credit facility, the Company will promptly issue the B Warrants to the Investors upon the written demand of any Investor.
