Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

In connection with the purchase of 1,846,154 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, Efficacy Capital entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2008, by and between Efficacy Capital and the Issuer (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement provides that the Reporting Persons shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any equity securities sold by Issuer from September 29, 2008 through September 29, 2010, up to the Reporting Persons’ pro rata share.

The Reporting Person and the Issuer are parties to a Standstill Agreement dated January 9, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment to Standstill Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2008 (the “First Amendment”) and the Second Amendment to Standstill Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2008 (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed, among other things, that it would not (i) acquire shares of the Issuer’s common stock that would result in its aggregate beneficial ownership exceeding 40% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, (ii) participate in a “solicitation” or request for “proxies” to vote any securities of the Issuer, (iii) demand a meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer or nominate any person for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, subject to certain limited exceptions described below, (iv) communicate with any person or entity with respect to the voting of any the Issuer’s com mon stock, other than in accordance with the recommendations of a majority of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, (v) vote shares of the Issuer’s common stock in any manner other than in accordance with the recommendations of a majority of the Issuer’s Board of Directors who are not also officers or employees of the Issuer and not the director designated by Efficacy, or, if no such recommendation is made, in the same proportion as the votes cast by other holders of the Issuer’s common stock, (vi) make an offer to acquire the Issuer or cause such an offer to be made, with certain limited exceptions, (vii) otherwise seek to control the management or policies of the Issuer, (viii) for, join or in any way participate in a “group” with respect to any securities of the Issuer in connection with any action or matter otherwise prohibited under the Standstill Agreement, and (ix) transfer beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer’s common stock directly, or, knowingly, ind irectly, to any person or group of persons who would after such sale beneficially or of record own more than 5% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, with certain limited qualifications and exceptions.

Under the terms of the Standstill Agreement, as amended, the foregoing obligations terminate on the date Efficacy Capital Ltd.’s aggregate beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock is collectively less than fifteen percent (15%) of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

The Standstill Agreement is filed as an Exhibit to the original Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 12, 2008. Each of the Purchase Agreement, the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment is filed as an Exhibit to Amendment No. 2 to the original Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on October 7, 2008.
