On February 22, 2012, we entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility (Third Amendment) with Wells Fargo. The Third Amendment increased the total availability of the Amended Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on our level of eligible accounts receivable, by approximately $4.0 million. In addition, the Third Amendment increased our minimum trailing twelve months earnings before taxes financial covenant from a loss of $0.8 million to earnings of $0.25 million. Finally, the Third Amendment added an additional financial covenant which will require us to maintain a minimum excess borrowing base availability of not less than $3.0 million for each reporting period in 2012 and thereafter. Under the Amended Credit Facility, Wells Fargo will continue to advance up to $15.0 million to us for working capital purposes and to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit.
