ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On June 2, 2000, the Company and its senior secured lenders agreed to
extend the $5,000,000 revolving credit facility (the "DIP Facility") under the
Company's Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-In-Possession Loan and Security
Agreement (dated as of May 3, 2000) until June 9, 2000. Extension of the DIP
Facility beyond June 9, 2000 is subject to, among other things, approval by the
Company's senior secured lenders.
Also on June 2, 2000, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") postponed the scheduled date for the
hearing on the sale of the assets of the Company from June 6, 2000 to June 9,
2000. Accordingly, on June 5, 2000, the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of May
3, 2000 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") among the Company, Gores Technology
Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SSA Acquisition Corporation ("Newco"),
was amended to provide that the Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by
Newco at any time after June 9, 2000 if the Bankruptcy Court has not yet entered
a final order approving the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement.
