Item 4. Ownership.

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2 -5 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

As of December 31, 2013, Steelhead Pathfinder and another client account for which Steelhead serves as the investment manager (collectively, the “Funds”) beneficially own certain convertible notes which are convertible into 757,591 shares of the issuer’s common stock (based on the conversion rates set forth in such notes as of December 31, 2013). Steelhead Pathfinder beneficially owns certain convertible notes which are convertible into 725,815 shares of the issuer’s common stock (based on the conversion rates set forth in such notes as of December 31, 2013).

The securities reported on this Schedule as beneficially owned by Steelhead (the “Securities”) are held by and for the benefit of the Funds. Steelhead, as the investment manager of the Funds, and each of J. Michael Johnston and Brian K. Klein, as the member-managers of Steelhead, may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities held by the Funds for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities. 

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston or Mr. Klein is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Klein disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of such Securities.  Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule was derived from the issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2013, in which the issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 5, 2013 was 13,504,352 shares. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the Securities have been added to the Issuer’s total number of shares outstanding, for a total of 14,261,943 shares outstanding for purposes of calculating each of the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage, except Steelhead Pathfinder. For Steelhead Pathfinder, 725,815 shares have been added to the Issuer’s total number of shares outstanding for a total of 14,230,167 shares outstanding for purposes of calculating Steelhead Pathfinder’s beneficial ownership percentage.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof each of the reporting persons has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following .

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

Steelhead is the investment manager of Steelhead Pathfinder and another client account that beneficially hold the Securities and, in that capacity, has been granted the authority to dispose of and vote the Securities held by those accounts. Steelhead Pathfinder and the other client account have the right to receive (or the power to direct the receipt of) dividends received in connection with ownership of the Securities and the proceeds from the sale of the Securities. The only client whose holdings exceed five percent of the outstanding shares of common stock is Steelhead Pathfinder.

 

Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group

Not Applicable.

Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group

Not Applicable.
