EXPLANATORY NOTE

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment 2”) to the statement on Schedule 13D filed on behalf of (a) Kirtland Capital Partners III L.P. (“KCP III”), (b) Kirtland Capital Company III LLC (“KCC III”), and (c) Kirtland Partners Ltd. (“Kirtland” and, collectively with KCP III and KCC III, the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2012. All Items not supplemented in this Amendment 2 remain unchanged. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is supplemented by the addition of the following information:

Effective October 11, 2012, 801,152 shares of Common Stock directly owned by KCP III were distributed to the partners of KCP III on a pro rata basis for no consideration. Effective October 11, 2012, 48,851 shares of Common Stock directly owned by KCC III were distributed to the members of KCC III on a pro rata basis for no consideration.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is supplemented by the addition of the following information:

Other than the October 11, 2012 distributions of 801,152 shares of Common Stock to the partners of KCP III and 48,851 shares of Common Stock to the members of KCC III, none of the Reporting Persons or the individuals identified on Schedule I hereto have any present plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although they reserve the right to develop any such plans or proposals).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is supplemented by the addition of the following information:

(a) As of the date hereof, Kirtland beneficially owns: (i) 1,683,134 shares of Common Stock with KCP III, which represents approximately 6.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) 102,629 shares of Common Stock with KCC III, which represents approximately 0.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, Kirtland, as of the date hereof, is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 1,785,763 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, no other person identified in Item 2 beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

(b) As of the date hereof, Kirtland shares: (i) voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,683,134 shares of Common Stock with KCP III; and (ii) voting and dispositive power with respect to 102,629 shares of Common Stock with KCC III. Accordingly, Kirtland, as of the date hereof, has voting power and dispositive power over an aggregate of 1,785,763 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, no other person identified in Item 2 shares the power to vote or dispose of any shares of Common Stock.

(c) Except as described below, no transactions in shares of Common Stock were effected by the Reporting Persons, or, to their knowledge, any of the persons identified in Schedule 1 hereto, during the past sixty days.

Effective October 11, 2012, 801,152 shares of Common Stock directly owned by KCP III were distributed to the partners of KCP III on a pro rata basis for no consideration. Effective October 11, 2012, 48,851 shares of Common Stock directly owned by KCC III were distributed to the members of KCC III on a pro rata basis for no consideration. None of the Reporting Persons have voting or investment control over the shares of Common Stock distributed to the partners of KCP III or members of KCC III and, therefore, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own such shares.
