The prospectus also sets forth certain relationships with selling shareholders on pages 16-18. This prospectus supplement amends the section entitled “Certain Relationships with Selling Shareholders—Registration Rights Agreement.” On May 17, 2007, we and the selling shareholders named in the table above entered into a Waiver, Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which we consented to the transfer of 2,777,778 shares of our common stock that we issued to Dillon Yarn Corporation on January 1, 2007. Accordingly, we waived the lock-up restrictions under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 1, 2007, between us and Dillon with respect to those 2,777,778 shares, which Dillon was previously prohibited from transferring (other than to a permitted transferee) prior to July 1, 2007. Each of the selling shareholders in the table above, other than Dillon, agreed to assume Dillon’s rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the shares that it purchased from Dillon. Other than as set forth above, the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement remain in full force and effect, and the remaining shares owned by Dillon remain subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the accompanying prospectus. Dillon may not transfer any shares of our common stock owned by it prior to July 1, 2008. On and after July 1, 2008 and prior to July 1, 2009, Dillon (or its permitted transferees) may transfer 2,777,778 shares, and all of the 5,555,555 shares may be transferred by Dillon (or its permitted transferees) after July 1, 2009.

This prospectus supplement further amends the section entitled “Certain Relationships with Selling Shareholders” to include that effective as of May 24, 2007, Stephen Wener, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dillon Yarn Corporation, was appointed to our board of directors.

The prospectus dated February 9, 2007 together with this prospectus supplement, constitutes the prospectus required to be delivered by Section 5(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to offers and sales of the common stock.
