ITEM 4. 
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Issuer’s financial condition and prospects and its interest in, and intentions with respect to, the Issuer and their investment in the securities of the Issuer, which review may be based on various factors, including whether various strategic transactions have occurred or may occur, the Issuer’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s securities in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.  Accordingly, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions and develop plans or proposals at any time, as it deems appropriate.  In particular, each Reporting Person may at any time and from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional securities of the Issuer, including additional Common Stock; dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer, including the Common Stock, that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire; and/or enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Issuer’s securities.  In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, members of the board of directors of the Issuer, shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the operations, management, composition of the Issuer’s board of directors and management, ownership, capital structure, balance sheet management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer, including the possibility of proposing one or more acquisitions, business combinations, mergers, asset sales, asset purchases or other similar transactions involving the Issuer and other third parties.  As a result, the Reporting Persons may take positions with respect to the matters discussed above.  Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein.

Except as otherwise described in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any changes in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

ITEM 5. 
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a), (b) and (d)   Each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock on the date of this Schedule 13D is reflected on that Reporting Person’s cover page.  By virtue of his position with Pentwater Capital, Mr. Halbower has the sole power to vote the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.  Subject to restrictions, Mr. Halbower has the sole power to dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.  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 of Common Stock.  The percentage calculations on the cover pages are based upon 55,022,377 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010 filed on November 7, 2011.

(c)           The transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected during the past 60 days on behalf of the Reporting Persons are set forth on Schedule A and incorporated herein by reference.  Other than those transactions, there were no other such transactions by the Reporting Companies that were effected during the past 60 days.

(e)           Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.
CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Except as otherwise expressly described herein and in Schedule A, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or similar relationships exist with respect to the securities of the Company among the Reporting Persons and any person or entity.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a number of derivative agreements, commonly known as Total Return Swaps, with Bank of America, which agreements provide that the profit to the Reporting Persons shall be based upon the decrease in value of the shares of Common Stock, and the loss to the Reporting Persons shall be based upon the increase in the value of the shares of Common Stock, during the period from inception of the applicable agreement to its termination.  The agreements provide that they settle in cash.  In addition to the shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own as shown in Item 5 above, the Reporting Persons currently have short economic exposure to an aggregate of 246,400 shares of Common Stock through such agreements.

The Reporting Persons also own Term Loans of the Issuer with a face amount of $15,000,000 in a swap facility with J.P Morgan Chase.
