The number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of outstanding shares represented thereby have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and after giving effect to the Conversion Cap (as defined below) with regard to $9,416,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes beneficially owned by YGA. The percentage of ownership described above is based on 11,928,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 9, 2010, as reported in the Form 10-Q filed by the issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2010.

     
  

Each of the Notes are subject to a conversion cap that prohibits the conversion of the Notes if after such conversion, the holder of the Notes and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock (such provision, the “Conversion Cap”). If the Conversion Cap were not in effect with respect to each of the Notes, YGA would beneficially own 1,657,979 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, consisting of (i) 1,195,789 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 462,190 shares of Common Stock convertible from $4,853,000 in principal amount of the Notes, which would collectively comprise 13.4% of the outstanding Common Stock. This percentage of ownership is based on an aggregate of 12,390,190 shares of Common Stock, which consists of (i) 11,928,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 9, 2010, as reported in the Form 10-Q filed by the issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2010, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to YGA if YGA were to convert all of its Notes into shares of Common Stock.

     
Item 5.    Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.   
   If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following  ¨.   
Item 6.    Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.      
   The right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, all shares of Common Stock reported in this statement as beneficially owned by YGA is held by York Credit Opportunities or York Credit Opportunities Master, as the case may be, all of which are subject to YGA’s investment discretion. YGA disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock reported in this statement pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
