Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2008, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) with certain lenders and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto. The Agreement provides for a $110 million revolving credit facility, maturing on November 20, 2011. The lenders under the Agreement are PNC Bank, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, Wachovia Bank, National Association and TD Bank, N.A. The Agreement replaces the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated April 23, 2004 between us, the lender parties thereto and PNC Bank, as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto, which provided for a $50 million revolving credit facility.

The following description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Agreement, which filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Advances under the Agreement may be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including the funding of Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the Agreement), permitted dividends and permitted stock repurchases, not otherwise prohibited by the Agreement. Advances under the Agreement may be repaid and re-borrowed from time to time, provided that the aggregate amount outstanding at any one time does not exceed the $110 million facility limit. The rate of interest charged on borrowings under the Agreement is based upon our Pricing Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement). Currently, interest on borrowings accrues at a per annum rate equal to, at our election, either the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus 1.25% or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Agreement). The per annum interest rates applicable at the highest Pricing Leverage Ratio tier are equal to, at our election, either the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% or the Alternate Base Rate plus .25%. Higher interest rates may apply if there is an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement).

The Agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants, with which we are required to comply. These covenants address, among other things, the circumstances under which acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases and additional indebtedness are permissible under the Agreement. The financial covenants require that we maintain our Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement) at or above certain minimum levels during the term of the Agreement and that we maintain our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Agreement) and our Consolidated Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Agreement) below certain maximum levels during the term of the Agreement.

Subject to applicable provisions of the Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, our obligation to repay advances under the Agreement may be accelerated, and the lenders’ obligations to make further advances under the Agreement may terminate prior to the November 20, 2011 maturity date.

On November 21, 2008, we also entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 30, 2001, among us, CSS Funding LLC, Market Street Funding LLC (f/k/a Market Street Funding Corporation) and PNC Bank. The Sixth Amendment to the Receivables Purchase Agreement reduced the funding limit under our accounts receivable securitization facility from $100 million to $75 million. Prior to the Sixth Amendment, the funding limit under such facility was $100 million during peak seasonal periods and $25 million during off-peak seasonal periods. As amended, the funding limit is now $75 million during peak seasonal periods and $25 million during off-peak seasonal periods.

On November 21, 2008, the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated April 23, 2004 among us, the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto, which provided for a $50 million revolving credit facility, was replaced with the Agreement described in Item 1.01 of this report.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
