Item 4	Ownership.

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of page 2 of this Schedule 13G/A, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

The securities referenced in Items 5 and 7 on page 2 of this Schedule 13G/A are owned by William J. Ritger (the “Ritger Securities”). The securities referenced in Items 6 and 8 on pages 2 and 3 of this Schedule 13G/A (the “Seaside Securities” and together with the Ritger Securities, the “Securities) are owned by Seaside Capital, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Seaside”), for which William J. Ritger serves as the sole manager. William J. Ritger, as the sole manager of Seaside Capital, LLC, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own the Seaside Securities for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), insofar as he may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Seaside Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Seaside or any member of Seaside other than Mr. Ritger is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Ritger Securities, and each of Seaside and the other members of Seaside disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Ritger Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Mr. Ritger is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Seaside Securities, and Mr. Ritger disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Seaside Securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it is also possible that the members of Seaside might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities referenced in Items 6 and 8 of page 2 above and Items 5 and 7 of page 3 above insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of such Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of such Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 of pages 2 and 3 above was derived from the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2009, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 10, 2009 was 38,163,632 shares. The percentage calculation includes all the shares shown in Items 5-9 of pages 2 and 3 above, whether or not outstanding.

Item5

Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof, the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following. o

Item 6	Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.
	Not applicable.

Item 7	Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary which Acquired the Security Being Reported On by the Parent Holding Company.

Not applicable.

Item 8

Identification and Classification of Members of the Group.

Not applicable.

Item 9

Notice of Dissolution of Group.

Not applicable.

Item 10

Certification.

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
