CUSIP NO. 148411101
 
The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”).  This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
 Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 4,630,795 Shares owned directly by Raging Master is approximately $29,945,947, including brokerage commissions.  Such Shares were acquired with the working capital of Raging Master.
 
Raging Master effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On December 1, 2015, Kenneth H. Traub, a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, agreed to serve as a Managing Partner of Raging Capital, effective immediately.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 23,777,280 Shares outstanding as of November 3, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2015.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Raging Master directly owned 4,630,795 Shares, constituting approximately 19.5% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their relationships with Raging Master discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Raging Capital and William C. Martin may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares directly owned by Raging Master.

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer owned by the other Reporting Persons.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

(c)           The Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days.
