undersigned ("Amendment No. 2"). This Amendment No. 2 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 704,063 Common Shares beneficially owned
by WILLC (not including shares issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares
beneficially owned by WILLC) is approximately $4,915,671. The aggregate
purchase price of the 142,001 Preferred Shares beneficially owned by WILLC is
approximately $1,466,172. The Common Shares and Preferred Shares beneficially
owned by WILLC were acquired with the investment funds of each of WIHP, WIIP
and WITRP. The aggregate purchase price of the 25,000 Common Shares owned
directly by Mr. Lipson is $141,500. The Common Shares owned directly by Mr.
Lipson were acquired with his personal funds.


ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5(a) is 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 14,182,912 Common Shares outstanding as of March 1,
2010, as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 8, 2010.

As of the close of business on March 23, 2010, WIHP, WIIP and WITRP beneficially
owned 21,201, 819,313 and 5,550 Common Shares, respectively, representing
approximately 0.1%, 5.7% and less than 0.1%, respectively, of the Common Shares
outstanding. The Common Shares beneficially owned by WIIP include 142,001
Common Shares that are issuable upon the conversion of Preferred Shares owned
by WIIP. WILLC beneficially owned 846,064 Common Shares, constituting
approximately 5.9% of the Common Shares outstanding. Mr. Lipson beneficially
owned 871,064 Common Shares, constituting approximately 6.1% of the Common
Shares outstanding. The Common Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Lipson consist
of the 846,064 Common Shares beneficially owned by WILLC and 25,000 Common
Shares owned directly by him.

As the managing member of WIIP and general partner of each of WIHP and WITRP,
WILLC may be deemed to beneficially own the 846,064 Common Shares beneficially
owned in the aggregate by WIHP, WIIP and WITRP. As the managing member of
