All funds used to purchase the securities of the Company set forth herein on behalf of the Reporting Persons have come directly from the assets controlled by such Reporting Persons and their affiliates. The aggregate amount of funds used in purchasing the securities included in Item 5 of this Statement was approximately $9,440,794.46.
 
ITEM 4.                      PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
 
The Reporting Persons initially acquired the securities of the Company as a passive investment. This Statement is being filed on a protective basis on Schedule 13D due to the events described below.
 
 
On August 23, 2007, Howard Balter and Ilan Slasky, principal stockholders of the Company, made a commitment to provide to Magnetar Capital Master Fund approximately 160,000 Shares held by Messrs. Balter and Slasky in the event the Shares held for the account of Magnetar Capital Master Fund were voted for the Company’s arrangement proposal described in Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 15, 2007 (such arrangement proposal is referred to herein as the “Arrangement”). Written agreements evidencing the commitment have not been provided to Magnetar Capital Master Fund as of September 4, 2007. Prior to the consummation of the Arrangement, none of the Managed Accounts owned any Shares.
 
 
Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims that such commitment resulted in the Reporting Persons and Messrs. Balter and Slasky being deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
 
Other than as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons have any agreement or understanding with either Mr. Balter or Mr. Slasky with respect to the Company. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person that it is a “group” with Messrs. Balter or Slasky or is the beneficial owner of any Shares held by Messrs. Balter or Slasky for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim such “group” status and beneficial ownership.
 
 
To the extent that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a “group” with Messrs. Balter and Slasky (which “group” status is hereby expressly disclaimed), this Statement constitutes a separate filing by the Reporting Persons in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Exchange Act. Neither Messrs. Balter, Slasky nor any of their respective affiliates is a reporting person for purposes of this Statement. To the extent that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a “group” with Messrs. Balter and Slasky (which “group” status is hereby expressly disclaimed), the Reporting Persons believe that such “group” would have terminated at the time the Shares held for the account of Magnetar Capital Master Fund were voted at the Company’s shareholder meeting on August 24, 2007 at which the Arrangement was being considered.
 

Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to acquire additional securities of the Company in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of its holdings in the Company’s securities, or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

Other than as described above in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D.

Such Shares (including those issuable upon exercise of such warrants) are held for the account of Magnetar Capital Master Fund, and such Shares represent 5.6% of the Shares issued and outstanding as of August 30, 2007.
 
(ii)           As of September 4, 2007, each of Magnetar Capital Partners, Supernova Management and Mr. Litowitz may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,212,858 Shares, 290,000 of which are issuable upon exercise of warrants of the Company held for the account of Magnetar Capital Master Fund.

Prior to the consummation of the Arrangement, none of the Managed Accounts owned any Shares.

(b)           (i)           Magnetar Financial, Magnetar Capital Partners, Supernova Management and Mr. Litowitz each may be deemed to share the power to vote and direct the disposition of the 1,310,142 Shares held for the account of Magnetar Capital Master Fund.
