Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:

On October 31, 2003, the Funds purchased an aggregate of 5,333,333 shares of Series C, at $1.50 per share, pursuant to the Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2003 (the “Series C Purchase Agreement”), between the Funds and the Company.  The 5,333,333 shares of Series C are currently convertible into an aggregate of 5,333,333 shares of Common Stock.  The total consideration paid by the Funds for the shares of Series C was $8,000,000 in cash.

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Designation of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Designation”): (a) the shares of Series C provide for an 8% cumulative dividend payable in additional shares of Series C  for a period of 12 months from the Original Issuance Date (as defined in the Series C Designation); (b) the initial conversion price will be $1.50 for shares of Series C; (c) the Funds, as the sole holder of the Series C, will have the exclusive right to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors (so long as at least 51% of the originally issued Series C remains outstanding); and (d) so long as at least 51% of the originally issued Series C remains outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series C is required (i) for any changes in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, (ii) to create, authorize or issue any class, series or shares of preferred stock or any other class of capital stock ranking, either as to payment of dividends, distribution or as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, prior to or on a parity with the Series C, or (iii) to increase the size of the Board of Directors beyond nine members.  In addition, so long as VP (Q) LP, together with any of its affiliates, owns at least 2,666,667 shares of Series C or Common Stock (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, combination, reorganization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock distribution or similar event), the Company will not, without the affirmative consent or vote of at least two-thirds of the Board of Directors, (i) enter into an agreement for or consummate a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Series C Designation), (ii) enter into transactions which result in or require the Company to issue shares of its capital stock in excess of 5% (in any one transaction) or 12.5% (in the aggregate) of the Company’s then-current market capitalization, (iii) enter into transactions which result in or require the Company to pay (whether in cash, stock or a combination thereof) in excess of 5% (in any one transaction) or 12.5% (in the aggregate, in a series of transactions commencing on or after the Original Issuance Date) of the Company's then-current market capitalization, (iv) increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of capital stock, (v) directly or indirectly declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution in respect thereof, or purchase, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, other than as specified in the Series C Designation, or (vi) increase or decrease the size of the Company’s Board of Directors.

In accordance with the right of the holders of Series C shares to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the Series C Designation, David Carlick and Andrew T. Sheehan, managing directors of VantagePoint Management, Inc., have been appointed as members of the Company’s Board of Directors.  Section 7.8(c) of the Series C Purchase Agreement provides that the directors on the Board of Directors of the Company who are designated by the holders of Series C shares shall generally be accorded no less favorable treatment than any other Board member.

Pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Funds and the Company have also agreed that (i) the existing Certificate of Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be amended to delete Section 12(c)(v) thereof and (ii) the Line of Credit concept previously discussed between the parties be eliminated and not a part of any agreement or undertaking by the Funds or their affiliates.

In connection with the issuance of the Series C shares, the Company and the Funds entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2003 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company, upon the request of the Funds (no earlier than 180 days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement), will be required to file a registration statement registering all or any portion of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which the Series C shares and Series C-1 shares (as defined in Item 6 below) are convertible and any other shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Funds.  The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Funds with piggyback registration rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings initiated by the Company.

In connection with the transactions described herein, the Funds and the Company entered into a Management Rights Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2003 (the “Management Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Funds, as a result of their purchase of Series C shares, have certain rights to consult with the management of the Company, obtain information about the Company and attend, through a representative, meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 6.

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

Pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Funds and the Company have agreed that, contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions on or before January 31, 2004, including approval by the stockholders of the Company, a senior secured loan of up to $4 million (the “Senior Loan”) will be made to the Company by the Funds or an affiliate thereof (or by a third party lender with a guarantee provided by the Funds or an affiliate thereof).  In connection with the funding of the Senior Loan, the Company will issue warrant(s) to the Funds to purchase additional shares of Series C (each, a “Series C Warrant”).  Under the Series C Warrant(s), the Funds will be permitted to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Series C (up to 250,000 shares for each $1,000,000 advanced to the Company under the Senior Loan) at any time and from time to time within five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Concurrently with, and as a condition to, the Funds’ execution of the Series C Purchase Agreement, VP Alpha LLC and the Company have also agreed to amend and restate the Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to VP Alpha LLC pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.  The amended and restated Secured Promissory Note, dated October 31, 2003 (the “New Note”) provides VP Alpha LLC with the option to convert, at any time, all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount (currently $2,500,000) and unpaid accrued interest thereon as of such date into shares of the Company’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1”) at a conversion price of $2.00 per share (as adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization and the like).  The conversion provision of the New Note is contingent upon approval by the stockholders of the Company.  If this provision is not approved by the stockholders by January 31, 2004, it becomes due and payable ten days after such failure.  If no stockholder vote is held by January 31, 2004, the New Note becomes due and payable on January 31, 2004.

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Designation of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Designation”), the Series C-1 shares are identical in all respects to the Series C, except that each of the initial purchase price, the Liquidation Preference and the Conversion Price (as such terms are defined in the Series C-1 Designation) is $2.00 (as adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization and the like).

Except as described in the Amended Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
