Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D.

2. ITEM 5 OF THE SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

 

ITEM 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III are controlled by the General Partner. As a result, each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III may be deemed members of a group and may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the shares beneficially owned for such purposes by the other.

SAVF is the owner of 1,531,108 Common Shares, which represents approximately 6.35% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. SAVF II is the owner of 287,183 Common Shares, which represents approximately 1.19% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. SAVF III is the owner of 22,155 Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.09% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Accordingly, the Shamrock Activist Value Fund owns 1,840,446 Common Shares, which represents approximately 7.63% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

As the general partner of each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III, the General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,840,446 Common Shares owned by the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 7.63% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As the managing member of the General Partner, Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,840,446 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 7.63% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 1,840,446 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund by virtue of its authority to vote and dispose of such Common Shares. Finally, each of the controlling persons of Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,840,446 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act. Those controlling persons are identified in response to Item 2, as previously filed.

The percentage set forth in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assumes that 24,107,988 Common Shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2006, as represented by the Company in its Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007.

(c) On the date of, and after, the filing of the Amended Schedule 13D, SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III acquired Common Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices (excluding brokerage fees) as indicated on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by reference. All such transactions were effected in the open market on the NASDAQ National Market.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Common Shares or has effected any transactions in Common Shares on the date of, and after, the filing of the Amended Schedule 13D.
