This Amendment No. 4 to the joint statement on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on March 23, 2009, with respect to the common stock, par value $0.05 per share, of J. Alexander’s Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Initial Filing”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on May 28, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on July 12, 2011, and as amended by Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on September 1, 2011 (the Initial Filing, as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as follows:

1. Item 3 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

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

The Reporting Persons have acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 274,195 shares of Common Stock for $602,507.10 using working capital from the Fund and the proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Fund with a broker on customary terms and conditions.”

2. Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(a, b) The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 5,993,453 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of August 15, 2011, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 3, 2011. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of September 5, 2011, unless otherwise indicated. The cover page to this Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5(a, b).

The Fund directly holds, and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 274,195 shares of Common Stock. The GP, as sole general partner of the Fund, also has sole voting and dispositive power over these shares, and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman has the shared authority to vote and dispose of these shares on behalf of the Fund. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 274,195 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 274,195 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.”

3. Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(c) No Reporting Person, other than the Fund as set forth in the table below, effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock from September 2, 2011 (the day after the filing of Amendment No. 3 to this Schedule 13D) until September 5, 2011:

CUSIP No. 466096104 Page 7 of 8 Pages

Date of Transaction	Shares Purchased/ (Sold)			Avg. Price per Share ($)
9/2/2011		(100,000	)	$	6.2500

Each of the above listed transactions was conducted in the ordinary course of business on the open market for cash. Purchases and sales have been aggregated daily, and purchase and sale prices do not reflect brokerage commissions paid.”

4. Item 5(e) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own in the aggregate, and the Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman ceased to beneficially own, 5.0% of the class of shares of Common Stock as of September 2, 2011.”

5. Except as expressly modified hereby, all provisions of the Schedule 13D shall continue in full force and effect.
