This Amendment No. 13 ("Amendment No. 13") is being filed jointly by Crestview Capital Master, LLC ("Crestview") and Crestview Capital Partners, LLC ("Crestview Partners") (each, a "Reporting Person" and, collectively, the "Reporting Persons") and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 23, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on March 23, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on July 24, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on July 28, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on August 11, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on December 20, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on March 27, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on April 6, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 8 thereto filed on April 16, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 9 thereto filed on April 18, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 10 thereto filed on April 30, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 11 thereto filed on May 3, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 12 thereto filed on May 4, 2007 (collectively, the "Schedule 13D"). Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION On May 14, the Reporting Persons informed the Issuer that they are prepared to increase the cash portion of the contemplated purchase price for the Empagio business to $15.2 million and that they remain ready to seek to mutually resolve all other aspects of a transaction with the Reporting Persons as soon as possible. On May 10, an advisor to the Reporting Persons indicated to the Issuer that the Reporting Persons might be prepared to pay a $15 million cash purchase price for the business of Empagio. On May 11, the advisor indicated to the Issuer that the Issuer would have to propose to the Reporting Persons the terms on which the Issuer would be prepared to proceed with a transaction with the Reporting Persons for the Empagio business and discussions and communication continued through May 13. On May 12, counsel to the Reporting Persons produced a revised draft of an asset purchase agreement for consideration of the parties. In an effort to reach an agreement with the Issuer, the Reporting Persons indicated that they were prepared to pay total consideration for the Empagio business of $15 million in cash, together with the assumption by the acquired Empagio business of the $2 million subordinated note of the Issuer to a Reporting Person, subject to a working capital adjustment an escrow holdback, and various other terms and conditions. Despite the efforts of the Reporting Persons, an agreement was not reached and the Issuer informed a representative of the Reporting Persons that the Issuer intends to proceed with an alternative transaction. The Reporting Persons believe that no agreement was reached due to the improper advantage that the Issuer provided to another bidder, Mr. Seth Bernstein, and due to what the Reporting Persons believe were unrealistic, improper and unfair negotiating demands of the Issuer and the unwillingness of the Issuer to provide the Reporting Persons with a reasonable opportunity to resolve such demands through discussions with representatives of the Issuer. Accordingly, on the afternoon of May 13, Mr. Stewart Flink, a managing partner of Crestview, wrote to the Issuer's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bienvenu, expressing Mr. Flink's grave concern, including as one of the Issuer's largest shareholders, as to how the Issuer handled the proposed transaction, and stating that Mr. Flink viewed that action as typical of Mr. Bienvenu's tenure as CEO of the Issuer. Mr. Flink stressed for Bienvenu the Issuer's intentional and pre-meditated breach of its exclusivity obligation to the Reporting Persons and that the Reporting Persons intend to monitor the Issuer carefully, especially with respect to the terms and conditions of any transaction the Issuer is ultimately able to consummate with respect to the business of Empagio, especially in comparison to the demands made of the Reporting Persons as to such a transaction and the terms and conditions on which the Reporting Persons have attempted to acquire the Empagio business. In this regard, the Reporting Persons are gravely concerned that the terms and conditions upon which the Reporting Persons have been prepared to proceed to acquire the business of Empagio, particularly the terms and conditions set forth would both be superior for the Issuer to the terms and conditions of any other offer received by the Issuer. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to pursue all rights and remedies that they have against the Issuer with respect to the breach of that April 17 letter and otherwise. Likewise, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to pursue all rights and remedies they may have against Mr. Bernstein, Chatham Capital, and the Issuer's senior lender, Fortress Credit, including for (i) blatant interference with the Reporting Person's dealings with the Issuer under the April 17 Letter, a letter and dealings that were in full public view due to the Reporting Person's prior 13D filings and/or (ii) improperly forcing the Issuer to accept an alternative offer for the Empagio business. The Reporting Persons have not decided how to otherwise proceed or what other specific actions to take in light of the Issuer's actions. The Reporting Persons reserve all legal and other rights and remedies available to them.
