Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.
           Item 2 is hereby amended or supplemented by replacing the second paragraph with the following:
           Each of Trailer, LEF III, LEP III, Equity III and Mr. Maloney are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons.” The Reporting Persons have entered into Joint Filing Agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D (which are incorporated by reference herein), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this statement, as may be amended from time to time, jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this statement.
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
           Item 3 is hereby amended or supplemented by the addition of the following:
           The information set forth in Item 4 below is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction.
           Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
          On July 17, 2009, Trailer and Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Trailer agreed to acquire the Warrant and the Preferred Shares. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for agreements of this type. In addition, Trailer and the Issuer entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of August 3, 2009, by and between the Issuer and Trailer (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D. In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, effective upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Issuer expanded the size of its board of directors by five members, each of which were nominated by Trailer and subsequently appointed as directors of the Issuer effective as of the Closing, bringing the number of directors on the board of directors of the Issuer to 12. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, until the date that Trailer and its affiliates cease to beneficially own at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Issuer has agreed to nominate the directors designated by Trailer and its permitted transferees that hold a majority of the Warrant Shares or a majority of the Preferred Shares (the “Majority Trailer Investors”), and has agreed to solicit proxies in their favor and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such designees to be

elected to the board of directors of the Issuer. In addition, until the Majority Trailer Investors cease to beneficially own at least 2% of the Common Stock, the Majority Trailer Investors will have the right to appoint a non-compensated board observer who will have the right to attend all meetings of the board of directors of the Issuer (other than executive sessions or committee meetings, which it may only attend with the consent of a majority of the board of directors or relevant committee, respectively) as an observer. Under the Warrant, Trailer is entitled to purchase the Warrant Shares from the Issuer for an exercise price of $0.01. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant is subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of the Warrant, including an increase, up to a fully diluted ownership percentage of 49.9%, if the Company loses the ability to use certain net operating losses, as fully set forth in the Warrant.
          In addition, under the Investor Rights Agreement, Trailer has certain registration rights with respect to the Warrant Shares, and, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-166406 ), which has become effective and under which the Offering described below was registered. The Investor Rights Agreement also grants to Trailer a right of first refusal to participate in any subsequent private issuance of debt or equity securities of the Issuer or other private financing transaction of the Issuer (other than any issuance of debt securities pursuant to the Issuer’s senior loan agreement).
           On May 28, 2010, the Issuer completed an underwritten registered offering of Common Stock (the “Offering”). Concurrent therewith, Trailer executed a partial cashless exercise of the Warrant for 16,137,500 shares of Common Stock by surrendering the right to purchase a total of 22,812 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the cashless exercise provisions of the Warrant. As a result, the Warrant Shares remaining under the Warrant are 8,602,324, plus 3,541 additional Warrant Shares received by Trailer prior to the Offering as a result of the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Warrant, and 750,000 Warrant Shares received, pursuant to an agreement with the Issuer, in lieu of the market price anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Warrant that would otherwise apply as a result of the Offering. In addition, in connection with the Offering, Trailer agreed to an amendment of the Warrant to eliminate the adjustment provisions relating to the Issuer’s net operating loss carryforwards. The market price anti-dilution adjustment and other adjustment provisions of the Warrant, other than the adjustments based on net operating loss carryforwards, will otherwise continue to apply following the Offering. As such, the number of issuable shares underlying the Warrant may further increase in the future pursuant to such adjustment terms under the Warrant.
           In connection with the Offering, and pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2010, by and among Trailer, the Issuer and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, as manager of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”), Trailer sold to the underwriters the 16,137,500 shares of Common Stock received upon its partial cashless exercise of the Warrant at a price per share of $6.2075. In addition, the Issuer redeemed all of the Preferred Shares for approximately $47.8 million, which includes the liquidation value of $35 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends totalling approximately $4.8 million, plus a premium of approximately $8 million. As a result of the redemption of the Preferred Shares, the approval rights of Trailer and its affiliates with respect to certain actions and transactions of the Issuer, were terminated.
          The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.6 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 4. The Reporting Persons are entitled to various rights under the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement and intend to exercise them as appropriate in their judgment.
          Each of the Reporting Persons acquired the Warrant, Preferred Shares and Common Stock for investment purposes. Each of the Reporting Persons expects to continuously review such person’s investment in the Issuer and, depending on various factors, including but not limited to, the price of shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction, prevailing market conditions and such other considerations as such Reporting Person deems relevant, may at any time or from time to time, and subject to any required regulatory approvals, lend funds, invest in debt or similar investments issued by the Company, acquire additional shares of

Common Stock, preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock from time to time on the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions, directly from the Issuer, or upon the exercise or conversion of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.
          Each Reporting Person also may, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and regulatory requirements, dispose of or distribute some or all of its Common Stock or such other securities or investments it owns or may subsequently acquire depending on various factors, including but not limited to, the price of shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as liquidity and diversification objectives. Each of the Reporting Persons may make gifts of shares to charities or others from time to time. In addition, each Reporting Person may, from time to time, enter into stock trading plans intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.
          Consistent with their investment intent, each Reporting Person may from time to time discuss with the Issuer’s management, directors and other shareholders (including the other Reporting Persons) the Issuer’s performance, business, strategic direction, prospects and management, as well as various ways of maximizing stockholder value. Each Reporting Person, upon invitation by the Issuer, may participate in any investment or strategic transaction involving the Issuer. Each Reporting Person intends to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of their respective voting rights with respect to any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock they hold and through the exercise of their rights under the Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Warrant and the Underwriting Agreement.
          Except as indicated herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in:
          (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
          (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
          (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
          (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
          (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
          (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     (a) (i) Trailer may be deemed to directly beneficially own 9,355,865 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 13.7% of the Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date hereof, which shares are issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. This percentage is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is based upon 31,088,276 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 28, 2010, as disclosed in the Issuer's final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933 on May 24, 2010, and takes into account the issuance of 27,887,500 shares of common stock in connection with the offering described in the foregoing prospectus, as well as the 9,355,865 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant described herein, subject to adjustments set forth in the Warrant.
          (ii) LEF III is the sole member of Trailer and, accordingly, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own all of the shares set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above.
          (iii) LEP III is the general partner of LEF III and, accordingly, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own all of the shares set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above.
          (iv) Equity III is the general partner of LEP III and, accordingly, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own all of the shares set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above.
          (v) Mr. Maloney holds a majority of the voting power of Equity III and, accordingly, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own all of the shares set forth in paragraph (a)(i) above.
          (b) As a result of the relationships described herein, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares, and as a result each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the Warrant Shares owned by Trailer.
