This Amendment No. 3 ( “Amendment No. 3”) amends the Schedule 13D and its related amendments previously filed by the reporting persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20, 2007, September 14, 2007 and December 21, 2007, respectively (together “Schedule 13D, as amended”). Amendment No. 3 makes certain changes to Items 5, 6 and 7 and should be read in conjunction with the previously-filed Schedule 13D, as amended.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer 
 
Item 5 of the previously-filed Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended by replacing the entire text of Item 5 with the following:
 
AQR Management beneficially owns 2,330,756 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, or 12.2% of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 4, 2008. Dr. Amelio beneficially owns 2,516,890 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, or 13.2% of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 4, 2008, which includes (i) 185,134 shares held directly by Dr. Amelio, (ii) 1,000 shares held by Dr. Amelio’s wife and (iii) 2,330,756 shares held by Acquicor Management LLC, of which the reporting person is the sole manager. Dr. Amelio has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares held by Acquicor Management LLC. Dr. Amelio disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by Acquicor Management LLC except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
 
Since September 4, 2007, AQR Management and Dr. Amelio have effected the following transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock:
 
· On September 4, 2007, AQR Management entered into a Consent with Context Opportunistic Master Fund, LP and Context Advantage Master Fund, LP (together the “Context Funds”), in which the Context Funds agreed to allow AQR Management to sell back to the Issuer 208,333 units at $3.90 per unit and 62,920 shares of Common Stock at $2.98 per share. The price per unit or share, as applicable, was at a slight discount to the most recent closing price of such security. The repurchase from AQR Management was conditioned on the entire sales proceeds being applied by AQR Management to pay interest, principal and associated fees on loans made to AQR Management by the Context Funds.
 
· On November 30, 2007, AQR Management entered into a Consent and Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreements (the “Amendment”) with the Context Funds. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Context Funds allowed AQR Management to sell 1,819,793 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock back to the Issuer. The price per share paid by the Issuer was the closing price of such security on November 30, 2007, the date agreement for the repurchase was reached. The repurchase of shares from AQR Management was conditioned on the entire $3,839,763.23 sales proceeds being applied by AQR Management to pay interest, principal and associated fees on loans made to AQR Management, Dr. Clark and Mr. Kensey by the Context Funds. In addition, the Amendment allowed the lenders to sell shares, subject to the terms of the Agreement, to maintain a minimum value of the Issuer’s Common Stock pledged as collateral under the Note Purchase Agreements of at least 130% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the loans.
 
· On December 17, 2007, the Issuer granted Dr. Amelio 266,667 shares of Common Stock based on the attainment of certain quantitative and qualitative performance goals during 2007. Upon issuance, Dr. Amelio surrendered 86,533 shares in respect of withholding obligations, for a net issuance of 180,134.
 
· On January 29, 2008, AQR Management received a letter on behalf of the Context Funds stating that the value of the pledged shares had dropped below 130% of the value of the outstanding notes and purporting that the Context Funds had foreclosed on the pledged shares. AQR Management intends to pursue its available legal rights and remedies regarding the foreclosure.
 
· On February 5, 2008, the Context Funds filed a Schedule 13G claiming beneficial ownership to the Issuer’s Common Stock held by AQR Management.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of Issuer
 
Item 6 of the previously-filed Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended by replacing the entire text of Item 6 with the following:
 
Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering, the Issuer issued 6,250,000 shares to AQR Management. Prior to the Issuer’s special meeting of stockholders held to vote on the acquisition of Jazz, AQR Management and the Issuer agreed that if the acquisition were approved at the special meeting and actually closed, the Issuer would redeem 1,669,759 shares, for a price of $0.0047 per share, promptly after the closing of the acquisition.  Such redemption occurred on February 16, 2007. 
 
AQR Management is a party to a registration rights agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which the holders of a majority of the shares held by the stockholders party to the registration rights agreement can cause the Issuer to register all or a portion of the Issuer’s shares held by them beginning three months before the date on which any lock-up period applicable to such shares expires. In addition, these stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to such date. The Issuer will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
 
All of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering, including the shares of Common Stock purchased by AQR Management, are subject to lock-up agreements with the Issuer and ThinkEquity Partners LLC (“TEP”), the representative of the underwriters in the Issuer’s initial public offering, restricting the sale of such securities. On February 14, 2007, TEP consented to the pledging of AQR Management’s shares in the Issuer as collateral pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreements so long as the pledged shares remained subject to the lock-up restrictions. Similarly, on September 4, 2007, TEP consented to the repurchase by the Issuer of shares held by AQR Management so long as the entire sales proceeds were applied by AQR Management to pay interest, principal and associated fees on loans made to AQR Management by the Context Funds. All remaining Issuer’s shares held by AQR Management remain subject to the lock-up restrictions and will be released from such restrictions on March 15, 2009.
 
AQR Management has pledged all of its shares of Common Stock as collateral for the Note Purchase Agreements.
 
On September 4, 2007, AQR Management entered into a Consent with the Context Funds, in which the Context Funds agreed to allow AQR Management to sell back to the Issuer 208,333 units at $3.90 per unit and 62,920 shares of Common Stock at $2.98 per share. The price per unit or share, as applicable, was at a slight discount to the most recent closing price of such security. The repurchase from AQR Management was conditioned on the entire sales proceeds being applied by AQR Management to pay interest, principal and associated fees on loans made to AQR Management by the Context Funds.
 
On November 30, 2007, AQR Management entered into the Amendment with the Context Funds. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Context Funds allowed AQR Management to sell 1,819,793 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock back to the Issuer. The price per share paid by the Issuer was the closing price of such security on November 30, 2007, the date agreement for the repurchase was reached. The repurchase of shares from AQR Management was conditioned on the entire $3,839,763.23 sales proceeds being applied by AQR Management to pay interest, principal and associated fees on loans made to AQR Management, Dr. Clark and Mr. Kensey by the Context Funds. In addition, the Amendment allowed the lenders to sell shares, subject to the terms of the Agreement, to maintain a minimum value of the Issuer’s Common Stock pledged as collateral under the Note Purchase Agreements of at least 130% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the loans.
 
On January 29, 2008, AQR Management received a letter on behalf of the Context Funds stating that the value of the pledged shares had dropped below 130% of the value of the outstanding notes and purporting that the Context Funds had foreclosed on the pledged shares. AQR Management intends to pursue its available legal rights and remedies regarding the foreclosure.
 
On February 5, 2008, the Context Funds filed a Schedule 13G claiming beneficial ownership to the Issuer’s Common Stock held by AQR Management.

Subject to the December 6, 2007 payments provided for in this Agreement being made, the Company/CAMF Note Purchase Agreement and the Company/COMF Note Purchase Agreement are hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Interest Rate” in Article 1 is modified to read in its entirety as follows:

Interest rate means the rate of 15% per annum from February 21, 2007 through November 30, 2007; the rate of 10% per annum from December 1, 2007 through May 25, 2008; and the rate of 8.5% per annum from May 26, 2008 through May 25, 2009.

(b) The definition of “Initial Placement Requirement” in Article 1 is modified to read in its entirety as follows:

Initial Placement Requirement” means, (i) on any date from February 14, 2007 through December 5, 2007, for Collateral consisting of AQR Shares, 200% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding as of such date; (ii) on any date from December 6, 2007 through May 25, 2009, for Collateral consisting of AQR Shares, 130% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding as of such date; and (iii) for any type of Collateral other than AQR Shares, the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding as of such date as determined by the Buyer, from time to time, in its discretion.

(c) CAMF and the Company agree under the Company/CAMF Note Purchase Agreement, and COMF and the Company agree under the Company/COMF Note Purchase Agreement, that if the Value of Pledged Stock on any date falls below the Initial Placement Requirement then in effect, Borrower will promptly notify Buyer in writing in the manner required by the Company/CAMF Note Purchase Agreement and the Company/COMF Note Purchase Agreement, as applicable. If the Value of the Pledged Stock remains below the Initial Placement Requirement then in effect for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days (regardless of whether such written notice has been delivered), and Borrower does not provide sufficient additional Collateral so that the Value of the Collateral equals or exceeds the Initial Placement Requirement then in effect, Buyer may at its option liquidate sufficient Collateral and apply the proceeds thereof (after reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith) to reduce the outstanding Obligations so that the value of the remaining Collateral equals or exceeds the Initial Placement Requirement. Any such liquidation of Collateral shall be made in the manner contemplated by Section 8.2 of the Company/CAMF Note Purchase Agreement and the Company/COMF Note Purchase Agreement, as if a Remedy Event had occurred and was then continuing as to the amount of Collateral contemplated to be sold pursuant to this Section 3(c).

(d) In the event the Company prepays any principal under the Company/CAMF Note Purchase Agreement or the Company/COMF Note Purchase Agreement on or after December 6, 2007, the applicable Buyer will credit against the Obligations (or refund to the Company) an amount equal to any unaccrued interest prepaid by Company pursuant to Section 4 with respect to the principal amount prepaid (calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year for the actual number of days by which such amount is prepaid), subject to offset for any other Obligations then payable to the Buyer by the Borrower.
