Item 8.01: Other Events

On June 15, 2010, the Company filed the Motion to Approve Notification and Hearing Procedures for Transfers of Certain Common Stock and for Related Relief [Docket No. 10] (the “Motion”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Bankruptcy Court”). After a hearing on June 16, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Interim Order Establishing Notification and Hearing Procedures for Transfers of Common Stock (the “Interim Order”) granting the Motion [Docket No. 23]. The Bankruptcy Court set July 9, 2010 to consider approval of the Interim Order on a final basis (the “Final Order”). Objections to the Final Order were due to the Bankruptcy Court no later than July 6, 2010. No objections were filed. Therefore, on July 9, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final Order [Docket No. 68].1

The Final Order provides, among other things, that any entity2 that is or becomes a Substantial Shareholder (meaning, any entity that has Beneficial Ownership of at least 2.4 million shares of Common Stock of the Company) must file a notice of such status within 40 days of the date of the Notice of Order or 10 days after becoming a Substantial Shareholder. In addition, the Final Order provides that prior to a Substantial Shareholder effectuating any transfer of Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, such Substantial Shareholder must file a Declaration with the Court and the Company has 15 days in which to object to any such transfer. The procedures for resolving any objection are discussed in more detail in the Final Order.

Attached hereto is a copy of the Final Order and Notice of Entry of the Final Order as Exhibit 99.1. The forms approved by the Bankruptcy Court as notification procedures, applicable, among others, to any entity with Beneficial Ownership of at least 2.4 million shares of Common Stock (or who would, through a purchase become the Beneficial Owner of 2.4 million shares of common stock) are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. Each holder of Common Stock should carefully review the Final Order and the exhibits thereto to determine whether the procedures apply to any proposed transfer of the Company’s Common Stock.
