Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to the end of such Item:

Between July 20, 2007 and July 23, 2007, the Partnership sold in the ordinary course of its business 317,338 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Partnership. All of the sales were made by brokers in arm’s length open market transactions.

The Partnership originally acquired the equity and other securities of the Issuer owned by it in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes and not with the purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer. As with other investments held by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons consider various alternatives to increase the value of their equity securities in the Issuer and may from time to time consider implementing such alternatives. The Reporting Persons retain the right, depending on market conditions and/or other factors, to change their investment intent, to acquire from time to time additional shares of Common Stock (or debt or other equity or equity-linked securities of the Issuer), to exercise the Restated Warrant (or a portion thereof) or any other warrants owned, held or acquired by them and/or to sell or otherwise dispose of from time to time, in open market transactions, private transactions, transactions with affiliates of the Issuer or otherwise, all or any part of the Common Stock, the Restated Warrant, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Restated Warrant and/or any other securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by them in any manner permitted by law.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

(a) Each Reporting Person is deemed to be the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) of the Exchange Act) of an aggregate of 3,364,523 shares of Common Stock, including 1,000 shares which may be acquired by the Partnership upon exercise of the Restated Warrant. Such aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons constituted, as of July 23, 2007, approximately 15.7% of the shares of such class (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act), assuming that 21,486,983 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of such date as set forth in the Issuer’s Form 10-K for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2007.

In addition, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board under the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement as described in Items 4 and 6, of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Bradleys. The Reporting Persons have no pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Bradleys and disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.

 

(b)

The Partnership may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power

with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 3,364,523 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, the Partnership may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons and the Bradleys with respect to their shares of Common Stock.

By virtue of being the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 3,364,523 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, the General Partner may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons and the Bradleys with respect to their shares of Common Stock.

By virtue of being the sole general partner of the General Partner, Capital Corp. may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 3,364,523 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, Capital Corp. may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons and the Bradleys with respect to their shares of Common Stock.

By virtue of being the sole directors and shareholders, and executive officers, of Capital Corp., each of Mr. Levine and Ms. Leichtman may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 3,364,523 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, solely for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, each of Mr. Levine and Ms. Leichtman may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons and the Bradleys with respect to their shares of Common Stock.

 

(c) Other than the sales described below, none of the Reporting Persons has effectuated any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty days.
