This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D initially filed on October 19, 2006 (the “Original Filing”) as amended and restated most recently by the amendment filed on May 29, 2009, to reflect a sale of 609,011 Shares since the last amendment. Information reported in the Original Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 4. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Original Filing.
The Schedule 13D is amended to make the following changes to certain items:
ITEM 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 is replaced in its entirety with the following:
As of June 9, 2009 the Master Fund is deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 3,521,922 Shares. As of June 9, 2009, the aggregate purchase price for the 3,521,922 Shares that the Reporting Persons is deemed to beneficially own is $89,715,586.
The Master Fund obtained funds to purchase the Shares from its working capital, which includes funds that had been contributed to the Master Fund by its limited partners. No funds were borrowed by the Master Fund in order to complete the Share purchases.
The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to reflect sales by the Master Fund of a total of 609,011 Shares in open market transactions since the last amendment, namely:
                 
Date   Number of Shares   Price
May 27, 2009
    44,300     $ 3.87

ITEM 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is amended and restated as follows:
(a)-(b) The Master Fund directly beneficially owns 3,521,922 Shares, representing 6.26% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The General Partner is the general partner of the Master Fund, and accordingly, the General Partner has the power to cause the Master Fund to vote, or to dispose of, securities which that entity beneficially owns. The Investment Manager is the investment manager of the Master Fund, and accordingly, the Investment Manager has the power to cause the Master Fund to vote, or to dispose of, securities which that entity beneficially owns. Jonathan Wood is a director and majority owner of the Investment Manager. Therefore, for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (i) the Master Fund is the beneficial owner of, with shared voting and dispositive power over, a total of 3,521,922 Shares and (ii) each of the General Partner, the Investment Manager and Jonathan Wood is the beneficial owner of, with shared voting and dispositive power over, a total of 3,521,922 Shares.
Based upon the information as to outstanding shares as at April 30, 2009 contained in the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009, the Shares of which each of the Master Fund, the General Partner, the Investment Manager and Jonathan Wood is the beneficial owner constitute 6.26% of the outstanding Shares.
(c) Other than as reported in Item 3, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transactions in the Shares.
