This Amendment No. 1 to a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2010 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), is being filed to supplement and restate the Purpose of the Transaction, so that Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as below:
 

 
Item 4. 
Purpose of the Transaction.
 
Item 4.            Purpose of the Transaction.
 
 
The Reporting Persons originally acquired the Shares because they believed that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.
 
The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review the Master Fund's investment in the Company on an ongoing basis and may engage in discussions with Company’s management, its Board of Directors, other stockholders of the Company and other relevant parties, concerning the business, operations, governance, management, and future plans of the Company. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Company's financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to the Master Fund's investment in the Company as the Reporting Persons deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling some or all of the Shares, engaging in short selling or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares, or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.  The Reporting Persons have reviewed Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D dated May 12, 2011 filed by KSA Capital Management, LLC.  The Reporting Persons continue to believe the Shares are undervalued and would support efforts by the Company’s Board of Directors to maximize shareholder value, including through a going private transaction.  The Reporting Persons would also consider selling all or a portion of the Shares to a third party who sought to maximize shareholder value.
 
Accordingly, while the Reporting Persons do not have any specific plans or proposals that would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing to the Company or third parties any or all of such transactions.
