The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”).  This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On April 15, 2010, Jeffrey Jacobowitz was granted 4,635 Shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Shares”) under the Issuer’s Amended and Restated 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Incentive Plan for which he was not required to pay monetary consideration.  All 4,635 Restricted Shares are subject to forfeiture to the Issuer under certain circumstances, which forfeiture right lapses with respect to 1,545 shares on each of February 1, 2011, February 1, 2012 and February 1, 2013.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On June 23, 2010, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Alloy Media Holdings, L.L.C. (“Alloy Media”) and Lexington Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alloy Media.
 
In connection with the Merger Agreement, on June 23, 2010, certain stockholders of the Issuer, including Simcoe, Simcoe Service, Simcoe Opportunity and Jeffrey Jacobowitz (the “Simcoe Stockholders”), Alloy Media and, solely for the purposes of Section 4.4 thereof, the Issuer entered into a stockholder voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.  Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Voting Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, each of the Simcoe Stockholders agreed that, during the time the Voting Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Issuer, such Simcoe Stockholder will cause its Owned Shares to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum and be present (in person or by proxy) and vote or consent all of its Owned Shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any actions reasonably required in furtherance thereof and (ii) against any Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, (i) each of Simcoe and Jeffrey Jacobowitz granted to Alloy Media an irrevocable proxy to vote all of its Owned Shares solely on the matters described above and (ii) each of Simcoe Opportunity and Simcoe Service agreed to execute and deliver to Alloy Media, solely with respect to its Owned Shares as of the record date for the special meeting, any proxy card sent to the stockholders of the Issuer soliciting proxies with respect to the Merger Agreement.
 
In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, each of the Simcoe Stockholders agreed, while the Voting Agreement is in effect, not to, other than as may be required by a court order or as otherwise expressly contemplated by the Voting Agreement or the Merger Agreement: (i) Transfer any of its Owned Shares; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to any Transfer of any or all of its Owned Shares or any interest therein; (iii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to its Owned Shares, deposit any Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Owned Shares, or (iv) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere in any material respect with the performance of its obligations under the Voting Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in the Voting Agreement prevents Simcoe Service or Simcoe Opportunity from Transferring any of its Owned Shares at any time or from time to time, and the Voting Agreement will not apply to any such Owned Shares Transferred by Simcoe Service or Simcoe Opportunity.

CUSIP NO. 019855303
 
The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the effective time under the Merger Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement by any party thereto in accordance with its terms.  In addition, any Simcoe Stockholder may terminate the Voting Agreement (as to itself) upon written notice to the Issuer and Alloy Media following any amendment to the Merger Agreement that (i) decreases the amount of merger consideration which such Simcoe Stockholder shall have the right to receive under the Merger Agreement or (ii) changes any of the merger consideration from cash to non-cash consideration.
 
The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement.
 
On June 23, 2010, certain stockholders of the Issuer, including the Reporting Persons, and the Issuer entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.  Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Termination Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer agreed, among other things, to terminate the Stockholders Agreement, previously entered into on April 15, 2010, as of the effective time under the Merger Agreement.  Additionally, the Termination Agreement permitted the Simcoe Stockholders to enter into the Voting Agreement without constituting a breach of the Stockholders Agreement.
 
The foregoing description of the Termination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement.
