The following constitutes Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Schedule 13D”).  This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 1,353,775 Common Shares owned directly by the IRS 19 is approximately $7,293,155, including brokerage commissions.  Such Common Shares were acquired with the working capital of IRS 19.

The aggregate purchase price of the 266,074 Common Shares owned directly by the Foundation is approximately $1,344,063, including brokerage commissions.  Such Common Shares were acquired with the working capital of the Foundation.

The aggregate purchase price of the 22,000 Common Shares owned directly by Mr. Kiper is approximately $126,694, including brokerage commissions.  Such Common Shares were acquired with Mr. Kiper’s personal funds.

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,000 Common Shares owned directly by Mr. Vizi is approximately $4,478.64, including brokerage commissions.  Such Common Shares were acquired with Mr. Vizi’s personal funds.

The aggregate purchase price of the 5,000 Common Shares owned directly by Mr. Ballou  is approximately $27,697, including brokerage commissions.  Such Common Shares were acquired with Mr. Ballou’s personal funds.

Messrs. Kiper and Vizi effect purchases of securities through margin accounts maintained with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to them as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, except as otherwise set forth herein, none of the persons listed on Schedule A beneficially owns any securities of the Issuer or is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding required to be disclosed herein.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of the Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On October 21, 2013, the Reporting Persons filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a preliminary proxy statement in connection with their solicitation of proxies for the election of two director nominees to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and submission of their non-binding proposal to request that the Board adopt a policy that the Board’s Chairman be an independent director according to the definition set forth in the NASDAQ listing standards at the 2013 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer to be held on December 5, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”). The Reporting Persons intend to continue to engage in communications with the management, Board and stockholders of the Issuer regarding the 2013 Annual Meeting, the election of their nominees to the Board, submission of their non-binding proposal and Board composition generally.
 
 
11

 
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Items 5(a) - 5(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Common Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 12,365,673 Common Shares outstanding as of October 18, 2013, which is the total number of Common Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Revised Preliminary Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on October 24, 2013.
 
As of the close of business on October 25, 2013, IRS 19 beneficially owned 1,353,775 Common Shares, constituting approximately 10.9% of the Common Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their relationships discussed in further detail in Item 2, IRS 19, M2O, the Trust and Mr. O'Connell may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by IRS 19 and Legion Partners, Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with respect to the Common Shares held by IRS 19.

As of the close of business on October 25, 2013, the Foundation beneficially owned 266,074 Common Shares, constituting approximately 2.2% of the Common Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationships discussed in further detail in Item 2, Mr. O’Connell may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by the Foundation and Legion Partners, Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with respect to the Common Shares held by the Foundation.

As discussed in Item 6 of Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D, IRS 19 and the Foundation have entered into an investment advisory agreement with Legion Partners, pursuant to which Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi on behalf of Legion Partners, exclusively manage IRS 19’s and the Foundation’s investment in Common Shares and have certain discretion to purchase or sell Common Shares but do not have any right to vote the Common Shares. As a result, Legion, Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with respect to the Common Shares held by IRS 19 and the Foundation.

As of the close of business on October 25, 2013, Mr. Kiper directly owned 22,000 Common Shares, constituting less than 1.0% of the Common Shares outstanding and Mr. Vizi directly owned 1,000 Common Shares, constituting less than 1.0% of the Common Shares outstanding. Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi each disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares held by each other.

As of the close of business on October 25, 2013, Mr. Ballou directly owned 5,000 Common Shares, constituting less than 1.0% of the Common Shares outstanding.

No person listed on Schedule A of Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D hereto owns any Common Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares owned by the other Reporting Persons.  The filing of this Amendment No. 7 shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any Common Shares he or it does not directly own.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares reported herein that he or it does not directly own, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
 
 
12

 
 
(b) Each of IRS 19, M2O, the Trust and Mr. O'Connell may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by IRS 19. The Foundation and Mr. O’Connell may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned by the Foundation. Legion Partners, Mr. Kiper and Mr. Vizi may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with respect to the Common Shares held by IRS 19 and the Foundation. Each of Messrs. Kiper and Vizi has sole voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares he owns directly.
 
Mr. Ballou has sole voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares owned directly by him.
 
(c)           The transactions in the Common Shares by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule B and are incorporated herein by reference.  All such transactions were effected in the open market.
