CUSIP No. 81616X103  Page 8  of  10  

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes, based on their belief that the Issuer’s stock was undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons may from time to time engage in a dialogue with management of the Issuer (“Management”) and with the chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), including dialogue as part of conversations in which other stockholders of the Issuer were present and participating, as well as dialogue with other stockholders of the Issuer, in each case regarding factors contributing to undervaluation of the Issuer’s stock and new strategies to create and maximize value for the Issuer’s stockholders. On September 3, 2009, the Reporting Persons communicated to the Board of Directors their support for the outcome of the stockholder vote held at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on August 27, 2009 rejecting the proposed Sterling transaction, and further communicated their willingness to discuss with the Board of Directors other financing alternatives for the Company, in each case as set forth in the letter from the Reporting Persons to the Board of Directors, attached as Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons intend to regularly review their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Person, or cease buying or selling such securities. Any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The factors which the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer’s business include the following: (i) the Issuer’s business and prospects; (ii) the business strategy and actions of Management and the Board of Directors to enhance the Issuer’s value to its stockholders; (iii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iv) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests; (v) general economic conditions; (vi) stock market and money market conditions; (vii) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (viii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.

Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this item 4. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have at this time any specific plans or proposals which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) In the aggregate, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 6,765,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 14.8% of such class of securities. The percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on a total of 45,595,806 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of July 20, 2009, as reported in the Issuer’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2009.
