If the excess availability under our Credit Agreement falls below $100 million for a specified period, the Credit Agreement
also requires us to maintain compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio. Our ability to comply with this covenant may be
affected by events beyond our control.
A breach of any of the covenants contained in our Credit Agreement or our inability to comply with the required financial ratio, when
applicable, could result in a default under the Credit Agreement. If an event of default occurs and we are not able to obtain a waiver
from the requisite lenders under the Credit Agreement, the administrative agent of the Credit Agreement may, and at the request of
the requisite lenders shall, declare all of our outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and
fees, to be immediately due and payable, and may terminate the lenders’ commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and
institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During March 2005, the Company was contacted by members of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC concerning the announced
restatement of the Company's financial statements for the full year and all four quarters of 2003 and the first three unaudited
quarters of 2004. An informal inquiry by the staff of the SEC into the substance of that restatement is continuing. The Company
continues to fully cooperate with this inquiry, and the staff has indicated that the inquiry should not be construed as an indication by
the SEC or its staff that any violations of law have occurred. The Company has provided all the information requested by the SEC
and the SEC has not requested additional information for more than three years.
On October 12, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency commenced an administrative enforcement action against the
Company under the Clean Water Act alleging violations of regulations applicable to the management, training and record keeping of
certain oil storage operations at its primary manufacturing facility in Rochester, NY. The Company and the EPA have reached an
agreement in principle to settle this matter for $88,000.
The Company has been named as third-party defendant (along with approximately 200 other entities) in an action initially brought by
the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in the Supreme Court of New Jersey, Essex County against
