Item 4. Ownership

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

(a) Amount Beneficially Owned:*

As of the date of this Schedule 13G, Grandview LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Grandview"), holds 405,319 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase 5,144,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and Millennium International, Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Millennium International"), holds 1,095,861 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, each subject to the ownership limitation described below. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock from the Issuer at an exercise price of $12.00 per share ("Warrants"). The Warrants will expire on October 23, 2014, or earlier upon redemption. Millennium Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the manager of Grandview and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investm ent discretion over securities owned by Grandview. Millennium International Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Millennium International Management"), is the investment manager to Millennium International, and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millennium International. Millennium International Management GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium International Management GP"), is the general partner of Millennium International Management, and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millennium International. Israel A. Englander ("Mr. Englander"), is the managing member of Millennium Management and of Millennium International Management GP. Consequently, Mr. Englander may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any securities beneficially owned by Grandview or Millennium International, as the case may be.

Due to limitations on the concentration of ownership of a REIT imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, the Issuer’s charter prohibits any stockholder or warrantholder from directly, indirectly or constructively owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares, by value or number, whichever is more restrictive, of its Common Stock. This provision currently has the effect of limiting the Warrants that may be exercised by the Reporting Persons. Consequently, as of the date of this Schedule 13G, Mr. Englander may be deemed to beneficially own, and the other Reporting Persons beneficially own, or may be deemed to beneficially own (as the case may be), in the aggregate, 5,217,086 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (consisting of 1,501,180 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 3,715,906 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock), which represents approximately 9.8% (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3), of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management, Millennium International Management, Millennium International Management GP or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the securities owned by Grandview and Millennium International.




CUSIP No.	76131N101	SCHEDULE 13G	Page	11	of	14

(b) Percent of Class:

9.8% of the Issuer’s Common Stock (see Item 4(a) above), which percentage was calculated based on 49,519,675 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 6, 2009, as per the Issuer’s Form 10-Q dated November 6, 2009.
