This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2009 by the Reporting Persons, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 on February 23, 2011, Amendment No. 2 on March 28, 2011, Amendment No. 3 on April 28, 2011, Amendment No. 4 on March 13, 2012 and Amendment No. 5 on April 8, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)      The following disclosure assumes that there are 110,449,569 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 8, 2013, which figure is based on information set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2013 and filed on November 14, 2013.

(b)      Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, Lion/Hollywood may be deemed to beneficially own 21,606,025 shares of Common Stock, which are subject to issuance upon exercise of the Lion Warrants.  On an as-converted basis, the full 21,606,025 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Lion Warrants would, as of December 4, 2013, constitute approximately 16.4% of the Common Stock outstanding upon such exercise.  As a result of the Investment Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 6), Lion/Hollywood and Mr. Charney may be deemed to constitute a “group” under Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act that collectively beneficially owns approximately 68,815,431 shares of Common Stock, or 52.1% of the Issuer’s total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 4, 2013 (after giving effect to the issuance of the full 21,606,025 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Lion Warrants), for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, based on the information regarding Mr. Charney’s beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in the Schedule 13D Amendment No. 10 filing made by Mr. Charney on July 5, 2013.  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Lion/Hollywood is a member of a group with Mr. Charney for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such membership is expressly disclaimed. In addition, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Lion/Hollywood is the beneficial owner of any Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Charney for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

As the sole members of Lion/Hollywood, LCFII, Lion Capital (Guernsey) II Limited (“LCGII”), LCFIIB and LCFIISBS have or share the power to direct the voting of and disposition of any shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by Lion/Hollywood.  As a result, each of LCFII, LCGII, LCFIIB and LCFIISBS may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by Lion/Hollywood.  Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of LCFII, LCGII, LCFIIB or LCFIISBS is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed, except to the extent of the pecuniary interest of each of LCFII, LCGII, LCFIIB and LCFIISBS therein.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.  
 
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following after the last paragraph of Item 6:

2013 Lion Loan Agreement

On November 29, 2013, the Issuer entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2013 (as amended, the “2013 Lion Loan Agreement”) among the Issuer, in its capacity as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Issuer, in their capacity as facility guarantors, Lion/Hollywood, as initial lender (in such capacity, the “2013 Initial Lender”), and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, to increase the loan amount under the agreement by $5.0 million and to make certain other technical amendments.
 
Pursuant to the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement, the 2013 Initial Lender has made term loans to the Issuer in an aggregate amount equal to $9.5 million. The term loans under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement mature on October 4, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum, subject to increase to a rate of 20% per annum upon the occurrence of a special interest trigger event (as described below).  Interest under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement is payable in cash or, to the extent permitted by the Issuer’s other debt agreements, in-kind. The Issuer’s obligations under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Issuer’s domestic subsidiaries (together with the Issuer, the “2013 Loan Parties”).

In the event that the Issuer’s net leverage ratio for the year ended December 31, 2013 is greater than 4.50 to 1.00 (referred to as a “special interest trigger event”), interest on the loans will accrue at the rate of 20% per annum, retroactive to May 22, 2013 or November 29, 2013, in each case, for loans made as of that date.  The 2013 Lion Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and events of default and a covenant to comply with certain covenants contained in the Indenture (the “Senior Notes Indenture”) dated April 4, 2013, by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and the U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (these covenants impose restrictions and limitations on, among other things, dividends, investments, asset sales, and the ability of the 2013 Loan Parties to incur additional debt and liens). The Issuer is permitted to prepay the loans under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement, on at least two business days’ prior notice, subject to a prepayment penalty. The loans under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement are currently unsecured, but at such time, if any, that the terms of the Issuer’s other debt agreements permit the obligations under the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement to be secured, the Issuer is obligated to cause such obligations to be secured on a junior priority basis to the obligations under the Senior Notes Indenture  and the Issuer’s credit facility with Capital One Leverage Finance Corp.
 
The foregoing description of the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2013 Lion Loan Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Issuer's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013.
