EXPLANATORY NOTE

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 27, 2011. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K/A”) in response to communications with the SEC in connection with a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to Exhibit 10.47 originally filed with the Form 10-K. The sole purpose of this Form 10-K/A is to file a revised redacted version of Exhibit 10.47, which supersedes in its entirety the Exhibit 10.47 as originally filed with the Form 10-K. Certain portions of the information that were omitted from Exhibit 10.47 as filed with the Form 10-K have now been included as part of the revised Exhibit 10.47. To accomplish the foregoing, this Form 10-K/A hereby amends and restates in its entirety Item 15 of Part IV of the Form 10-K.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Form 10-K/A also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended and restated in its entirety to include the currently dated certifications as exhibits. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

No attempt has been made in this Form 10-K/A to modify or update the other disclosures presented in the Form 10-K, including, without limitation, the financial statements. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosures in the Form 10-K, except as set forth in this Form 10-K/A, and should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.
