3

The reporting person directly beneficially owns 48,305,866 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 44.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the Issuer having 107,763,103 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 1, 2013, based on information set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The reporting person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, all of the shares beneficially owned by the reporting person.

As a result of the Investment Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 6), the reporting person and Lion Capital (Guernsey) II Limited, a Guernsey limited company (“Lion”), may be deemed to constitute a “group” under Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that collectively beneficially owns approximately 69,911,891 shares of Common Stock, or 54.0% of the Issuer’s total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 1, 2013, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act (after giving effect to the full issuance of the 21,606,025 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants held by Lion, based on the information regarding Lion’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed by Lion on April 8, 2013).  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the reporting person is a member of a group with Lion for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such membership is expressly disclaimed.  In addition, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of any Common Stock beneficially owned by Lion for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

Item 6.      Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The response to Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 6:

Stockholder Approval of Amendment to Charney Purchase Agreement and Charney Anti-Dilution Provision

Pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated as of April 27, 2011 between the Issuer and the reporting person (the “Charney Purchase Agreement”), the reporting person had received certain anti-dilution rights (the “Charney Anti-Dilution Provision”). In accordance with such Anti-Dilution Provision, and prior to the amendment to the Charney Purchase Agreement discussed below, the reporting person had the right to receive a total of 20,415,800 shares of Common Stock, issuable in three equal installments, one per each measurement period set forth below, subject to meeting the applicable average volume weighted closing price (“VWAP”) targets for 60 consecutive trading days, calculated as set forth in the Charney Purchase Agreement as follows:

4

On October 16, 2012, the reporting person and the Issuer had entered into an amendment to the Charney Purchase Agreement (the “Charney Purchase Agreement Amendment”) for the purpose of further incentivizing the reporting person in his continued service to the Issuer, which, subject to stockholder approval, (i) extends by one year the measurement periods under the Charney Anti-Dilution Provision and (ii) reduces the length of the corresponding stock price target periods from 60 days to 30 days.

The amendment gives effect to the extensions of the measurement periods on a retroactive basis if stockholder approval is received so that the reporting person has the right to receive shares as described above under the following circumstances:

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the reporting person is not entitled to any shares pursuant to the Charney Anti-Dilution Provision, as amended.

On June 25, 2013, the Issuer received stockholder approval for the Charney Purchase Agreement Amendment and therefore the reporting person has the right to receive a total of 20,415,800 shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Charney Purchase Agreement Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Charney Purchase Agreement and Charney Purchase Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the descriptions contained in the Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 28, 2011, April 28, 2011 and October 22, 2012, and the documents filed as exhibits to such Current Reports.
