    Beginning in 2009, our board of directors ceased paying cash
    dividends to holders of our common stock in order to preserve
    the Company&#146;s liquidity. In addition, negative covenants in
    our credit facility restrict our ability to pay such cash
    dividends during the time when the $7&#160;million tranche of
    our term loan is outstanding and thereafter limit the amount of
    cash dividends we can pay and in certain cases require us to
    meet certain financial tests before cash dividends can be paid.
    We cannot assure you that we will pay any dividends on our
    common stock in the foreseeable future. Dividend determinations
    (including the size of our quarterly dividend and whether future
    dividends will be paid in stock or cash) will depend upon, among
    other things, our future operations and earnings, capital
    requirements and surplus, general financial condition,
    contractual restrictions and other factors as our board of
    directors may deem relevant.

    We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of common stock
    in this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and
    estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately
    $58.7&#160;million (or approximately $67.6&#160;million if the
    underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares
    in full), at the public offering price of $5.96&#160;per share.
    We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common
    stock in this offering to repay our term loans in their entirety
    and expect to use any remaining proceeds to repay borrowings
    under our revolving credit facility. Our term loans are
    comprised of a $20.0&#160;million term loan and a
    $7.0&#160;million term loan. The term loans require quarterly
    amortization payments, which commenced on June&#160;30, 2009.
    The $20.0&#160;million term loan amortizes in quarterly
    installments of approximately $1.7&#160;million through
    March&#160;31, 2011 with a payment of approximately
    $6.7&#160;million due at maturity in May 2011. The
    $7.0&#160;million term loan amortizes in quarterly installments
    of approximately $1.2&#160;million over 18&#160;months from June
    2009. The term loans have an interest rate based on the London
    InterBank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 4.25% in the case of
    Eurodollar loans or a base rate plus 3.25% in the case of Base
    Rate loans. There was approximately $24.2&#160;million
    outstanding under the term loans as of June&#160;30, 2009. Our
    revolving credit facility has an interest rate based on LIBOR
    plus 4.00% in the case of Eurodollar loans or a base rate plus
    3.00% in the case of Base Rate loans. As of June&#160;30, 2009,
    we had approximately $79.4&#160;million outstanding under the
    revolving credit facility, which expires in May 2011.

    common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus

    In connection with the offering, the underwriter may purchase
    and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These
    transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
    and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
    sales involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of
    shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.
    &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in an amount not
    greater than the underwriter&#146;s option to purchase
    additional shares from the Company in the offering. The
    underwriter may close out any covered short position by either
    exercising its option to purchase additional shares or
    purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source
    of shares to close out the covered short position, the
    underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of
    shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to
    the price at which it may purchase additional shares pursuant to
    the option granted to it. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are any
    sales in excess of such option. The underwriter must close out
    any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open
    market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
    the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure
    on the price of the common stock in the open market after
    pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in
    the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids
    for or purchases of common stock made by the underwriter in the
    open market prior to the completion of the offering.

    An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.
    Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities,
    you should carefully consider the specific risk factors

    contained in any applicable prospectus supplement and our
    filings with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this
    prospectus, together with all of the other information contained

    any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings
    or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and
    uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition

    issued as convertible debt securities or exchangeable debt
    securities. The following is a summary of the material

    limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or

    represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by

    of such ownership interests will be effected only through,
    records maintained by the depositary for the related global debt
    security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the
    records of participants (with respect to interests of persons
    holding through participants). The laws of some states may

    So long as the depositary for a global debt security, or its

    beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be

    certificate in definitive form representing securities and will
    not be considered the owners or holders of those securities
    under the indenture. Accordingly, each person beneficially
    owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of
    the depositary for the related global debt security and, if such

    In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase
    and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may
    include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to
    cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the
    sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than
    they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing
    transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose
    of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the
    securities while an offering is in progress. The underwriters
    also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
    underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the
    underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters
    have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that
    underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These
    activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or
    otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a
    result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price
    that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
    activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the
    underwriters at any time. Underwriters may engage in
    over-allotment. If any underwriters create a short position in
    the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities
    than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable
    prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short
    position by purchasing the securities in the open market.
