Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lew Dickey, said, "We value the partnership with our lenders and appreciate their constructive approach that enables us to operate through the current economic environment. It was a mutually beneficial outcome for our lenders and shareholders."
Under the amendment, the company will be required through December 31, 2010 to maintain minimum liquidity and consolidated EBITDA levels. Further details concerning the amendment will be contained in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, the company has agreed to issue warrants to the lenders who consented to the amendment exercisable for an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Class A common stock of the company.
The company's sole financial advisor in connection with the amendment was Citadel Securities, a division of Citadel Derivatives Group.
