(f) Messrs. Lipson, Ferguson and Franzblau are citizens of the United States of America.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The aggregate purchase price of the 447,421 Shares beneficially owned by WILLC is approximately $3,262,699. The Shares beneficially owned by WILLC consist of 300 Shares that were acquired with WILLC’s working capital, 185,999 Shares that were acquired with WIHP’s working capital, 154,446 Shares that were acquired with WITRP’s working capital and 106,676 Shares that were acquired with WITRL’s working capital.

The aggregate purchase price of the 259,042 Shares beneficially owned by BPM is approximately $1,851,619. The Shares beneficially owned by BPM consist of 259,042 Shares that were acquired with BPIP’s working capital.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were significantly undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth in this Schedule 13D or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and other shareholders of the Issuer concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons are concerned by, among other things, the persistent discount to net asset value at which the Shares have been trading and believe that the Issuer should take appropriate action to cause the discount to net asset value to be eliminated or reduced to a nominal amount. The Reporting Persons are also concerned with the Issuer’s general record of poor corporate governance, including its classified board structure and absolute majority voting requirement for the election of directors in particular. The absolute majority voting standard requires that to be elected a nominee receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The Reporting Persons believe that the Board’s failure to institute best practice corporate governance measures is indicative of a board that places management’s interests over those of its shareholders.

CUSIP NO. 76932W102

Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels and/or discount to net asset value of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, making proposals concerning, among other things, changes to the management, the Board, capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 9,485,832 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of February 12, 2010, as reported in the Issuer’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2010.

As of the close of business on July 2, 2010, WIHP, WITRP and WITRL beneficially owned 185,999, 154,446 and 106,676 Shares, respectively, constituting approximately 2.0%, 1.6% and 1.1%, respectively, of the Shares outstanding.

As the general partner of each of WIHP, WITRP and the investment manager of WITRL, WILLC may be deemed to beneficially own the 447,121 Shares owned in the aggregate by WIHP, WITRP and WITRL, constituting approximately 4.7% of the Shares outstanding, in addition to the 300 Shares it holds directly.

As the managing member of WILLC, Mr. Lipson may be deemed to beneficially own the 447,421 Shares beneficially owned by WILLC, constituting approximately 4.7% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the close of business on July 2, 2010, BPIP beneficially owned 259,042 Shares, constituting approximately 2.7% of the Shares outstanding. As the managing member of BPIP, BPM may be deemed to beneficially own the 259,042 Shares owned by BPIP, constituting approximately 2.7% of the Shares outstanding. As managing members of BPM, each of Messrs. Franzblau and Ferguson may be deemed to beneficially own the 259,042 Shares beneficially owned by BPM, constituting approximately 2.7% of the Shares outstanding.

(b) Each of WILLC and Mr. Lipson is deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Western Entities by virtue of their respective positions as described in Item 2.

CUSIP NO. 76932W102

Each of BPM and Messrs. Franzblau and Ferguson is deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Benchmark Entities by virtue of their respective positions as described in Item 2.

(c) Schedule B annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons. All of such transactions were effected in the open market, unless otherwise noted.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e)

Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On July 2, 2010, WILLC, WIHP, WITRP, WITRL, BPIP, BPM and Messrs. Lipson, Franzblau and Ferguson entered into a Joint Filing Agreement (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) in which the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, enter into and dispose of cash-settled equity swaps or other similar derivative transactions with one or more counterparties that are based upon the value of the Shares, which transactions may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and/or return on such additional contracts may be wholly or partially dependent on the market value of the Shares, the relative value of such shares in comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which such shares may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. The Reporting Persons may also, from time to time, enter into stock loan agreements with one or more counterparties in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which the Reporting Persons may lend their Shares subject to recall at their discretion.

Other than as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
