Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
     In May 2004, registrant and its largest customer entered into a four-year agreement (the “2004 Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Agreement, registrant became the primary supplier of import alternators and starters for eight of this customer’s distribution centers and agreed to sell this customer certain products on a “pay-on-scan” (“POS”) basis. Under the “POS” arrangement, registrant was entitled to receive payment upon the sale of products to end users by the customer (the “POS Arrangement”). As part of the 2004 Agreement, the parties also agreed to use reasonable commercial efforts to convert the overall purchasing relationship to a POS Arrangement by April 2006, after which time, if the POS conversion was not fully accomplished, registrant would be obligated to purchase $24 Million of this customer’s inventory, payable by the issuance of monthly credits of $1 million over a 24-month period ending April 2008.
     The POS conversion was not completed by April 2006. Instead, as of August 24, 2006, the parties terminated the POS Arrangement and entered into an Amendment No. 3 to Pay On Scan Addendum (“POS Addendum”) and an Amendment No. 1 to Vendor Agreement (“Amended Vendor Agreement”). Under these new agreements, the customer will purchase those products previously sold on a POS basis for an amount which the registrant estimates to be between $24 and $26 million, and registrant will purchase approximately $20.0 million of the customer’s core inventory by issuing credits in that amount in August 2006. This new agreement also extended the term of the registrant’s primary supplier rights from May 2008 to August 2008.
