Prospectus Supplement dated June 27, 2007
     On March 13, 2006, pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated the same date, we issued and sold to certain accredited investors (i) $10 million in aggregate principal amount of secured notes due March 13, 2009, which bear cash interest at the rate of 14% per annum, or non-cash interest, in the form of additional notes, at the rate of 16% per annum, at our option, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,750,002 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $9.3 million from this transaction, which are intended to be used for working capital or other general corporate purposes (which may include, without limitation, mergers and/or acquisitions).
     The following table supplements the information in our prospectus with respect to the selling holders and the principal amounts of Class A common stock they beneficially own that may be offered under this prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling holders. All information provided in this prospectus supplement is as of June 13, 2007.
     The selling holders may sell all, some or none of the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them. Thus, we cannot estimate the number of shares of Class A common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders upon termination of any sales. The column showing ownership after completion of the offering assumes that the selling holders will sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which they provided the information, all or a portion of the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. None of the selling holders has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.
