On March 31, 2010, Global's lenders agreed to amend the terms of the Company's credit facilities to provide an extension on the condition that the Company complete, by June 30, 2010, either a sale of one or more of its subsidiaries or a debt or equity financing of not less than $5,000,000, including a minimum equity injection of $2,500,000.

On June 30, 2010, the Company and the lenders entered into an amending agreement which provides for a further extension of its existing credit facilities to October 31, 2010.

The operating facility must be repaid by October 31, 2010, at which time the credit facilities will be terminated.

The Company continues to evaluate financing alternatives to enhance its liquidity and overall financial position, including a debt or equity financing and/or replacement credit facilities.

Global's Management team is continuing to work closely with the Company's lenders to meet the conditions of the further extension of the credit facilities. The Company extends its appreciation to its lenders for their continuing support.
