On April 10, 2007, TCP, TMF and the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed (i) to sell 980,000 shares of Common Stock at $11.25 per share, of which TCP agreed to purchase 521,380 shares and TMF agreed to purchase 458,620 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $11,025,000.00 and (ii) to issue senior subordinated promissory notes in favor of each of TCP and TMF, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $16,500,000.00, but not less than $13,975,000.00 (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”).  The transactions contemplated under the Securities Purchase Agreement were consummated on May 18, 2007.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use the proceeds from the Notes and the sale of the Common Stock to TCP and TMF to complete the acquisition by the Company of Adorn Holdings, Inc., which was also consummated on May 18, 2007.  Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, so long as the Reporting Persons (i) hold between 7.5% and 14.9% of the Common Stock then outstanding, they have the right to appoint one nominee to the Company’s Board of Directors and (ii) hold at least 15.0% of the Common Stock then outstanding, they have the right to appoint two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company has agreed to limit the number of directors serving on its Board to no more than nine directors for so long as the Reporting Persons have the right to appoint a director to the Company’s Board of Directors.  Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the sale of the Common Stock was subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i) the execution of  the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement as described in greater detail in this Item 6 below; (ii) that the Company amend the Rights Agreement, dated March 21, 2006, as amended, by and between the Company and National City Bank, as Rights Agent; and (iii) that all of the conditions necessary for the acquisition of Adorn Holdings, Inc. to be consummated shall have been satisfied.  In addition, the
