The tangent at an extremity (in the first quadrant) of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 4 } - \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 5 } = 1$, meets the $x$-axis and $y$-axis at $A$ and $B$, respectively. Then $OA ^ { 2 } - OB ^ { 2 }$, where $O$ is the origin, equals
(1) $- \frac { 20 } { 9 }$
(2) $\frac { 16 } { 9 }$
(3) 4
(4) $- \frac { 4 } { 3 }$
