SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 DATED JULY 6, 2011
TO PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 12, 2010

 
In order to reflect transfers of warrants by certain Selling Shareholders, the table of Selling Shareholders in the Selling Shareholders Section of the prospectus, which forms part of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-149217), is hereby supplemented as follows:

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The Shares being offered by the Selling Shareholders are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of our convertible notes issued in the same transaction as the Warrants, see “Prospectus Summary – Our December 2007 Private Placement” and “Additional Information Regarding Our December 2007 Private Placement” above.  We are registering the Shares in order to permit the Selling Shareholders to offer the Shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Notes and Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Selling Shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the Selling Shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Shares by each of the Selling Shareholders.

This prospectus generally covers the resale of Shares issued or issuable as Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrants as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. The last two columns of the table below assume the sale of all of the Shares offered by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Warrants, a selling shareholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of Shares which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding Shares following such conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination Warrant Shares which have not been exercised. The number of Shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Shareholders may sell all, some or none of their Shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."
