As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement, A.T. Holdings II has pledged to the Lenders party thereto all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by it or afterward acquired by it to secure the lending by such lenders to A.T. Holdings II pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement. If no agreement is reached between the parties, or if A.T. Holdings II defaults on its obligations under the Credit and Security Agreement or under any amended or replacement agreement, such default could result in foreclosure proceedings against the Common Shares pledged as collateral by A.T. Holdings II.
