Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

6. | Item 4 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows: |
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity, and such purchases have been made in the Reporting Persons ordinary course of business.
The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Persons, or cease buying or selling such securities; any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
The Reporting Persons may wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with officers, directors and other representatives of the Issuer, as well as the Issuers shareholders; topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the Issuers markets, operations, competitors, prospects, strategy, personnel, directors, ownership and capitalization. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. The factors that the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuers business include the following: (i) the Issuers business and prospects; (ii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons interests; (iv) general economic conditions; (v) stock market conditions; (vi) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (vii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.
Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their options but do not have at this time any specific plans that would result in (a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or
CUSIP No. 25065D100 | Page 8 of 10 Pages |
liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuers Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuers charter or by-laws that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuers Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
7. | Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows: |
(a,b) The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Persons cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 6,338,271 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 3, 2010, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010. All of the share numbers reported below are as of June 24, 2010, unless otherwise indicated. The cover page to this Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5 (a, b).
The Fund directly holds, and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 853,822 shares of Common Stock. The GP, as sole general partner of the Fund, also has sole voting and dispositive power over these shares and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman has the shared authority to vote and dispose of these shares on behalf of the Fund. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 853,822 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 853,822 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 13.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
8. | Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows: |
(c) No Reporting Person, other than the Fund as set forth in the table below, effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock from April 25, 2010 (the date 60 days prior to the filing of Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13D) to June 24, 2010:
