As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, on October 28, 2008, OEP acquired 28,571,429 shares of Issuer Common Stock for $100,000,001.50 (the “Purchase Price”) as contemplated by the Investment Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2008 (the “Investment Agreement”), by and between the Issuer and OEP.  The Purchase Price was funded by equity contributions to OEP by OEP II Partners Co-Invest, L.P., OEP III and OEP III Co-Investors, L.P., which are the three members of OEP.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth or incorporated in Items 3 and 6 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 28, 2008, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, OEP acquired from the Issuer 28,571,429 shares of Issuer Common Stock, as described above (the “Investment”) for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their Investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis.  Depending on their review and evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer, and subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement, applicable securities laws and the price level of the Issuer Common Stock, or such other factors as they may deem relevant, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Issuer Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, may sell all or any part of their Issuer Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, in privately negotiated transactions or in sales registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), may distribute Issuer Common Stock to various of their partners or membe rs or may engage in any combination of the foregoing.  Subject to applicable law, the Reporting Persons may enter into derivative transactions, hedging transactions or alternative structures with respect to the Issuer Common Stock.  Any open market or privately negotiated purchases, sales, distributions or other transactions may be made at any time without additional prior notice.  Any alternative that the Reporting Persons may pursue will depend upon a variety of factors, including without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the Issuer Common Stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and other factors.


As described below in Item 6, the Reporting Persons have the right to appoint three directors to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”).  As a result of the Reporting Persons’ continuous review and evaluation of the business of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may communicate with the Board, members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the Board with a view to maximizing stockholder value.


Other than as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of each Reporting Person, any individuals listed in response to Item 2 hereof, has any current plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, that the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b)  The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 hereof are incorporated herein by reference.

As of October 28, 2008, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, OEP may be deemed to beneficially own 28,571,429 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 37.3% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock, assuming that there are 76,538,170 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding on such date.  Also, as of October 28, 2008, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, each of OEP III, OEP GP III and OEP Holding may be deemed to beneficially own 28,591,935 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 37.3% of the








outstanding Issuer Common Stock, assuming that there are 76,538,170 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding on such date.  This number consists of the 28,571,429 shares of Issuer Common Stock issued to OEP, and 3,155 shares of restricted Issuer Common Stock and stock options exercisable into 7,098 shares of Issuer Common Stock issued to each of two officers of OEP Holding on October 28, 2008.  These officers of OEP Holding, Mr. David M. Cohen and Mr. Colin M. Farmer, are two of the three individuals designated by OEP to serve on the Board, as further described in Item 6 below.  In connection with Mr. Cohen’s and Mr. Farmer’s service on the Issuer’s Board, each was granted 3,155 shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Issuer’s 2008 Omnibus Long Term Incentive Plan, and options to purchase 7,098 shares of Issuer Common Stock.  Each of Mr. Cohen and Mr. Farmer holds these shares of restricted Issuer Common Stock and stoc k options for the benefit of OEP III.

(c)  Except as set forth in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any person listed in response to Item 2 hereof, has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days involving shares of Issuer Common Stock.

(d)  Not applicable.

(e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth or incorporated in Items 3 and 4 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.


On August 20, 2008, OEP entered into the Investment Agreement, pursuant to which OEP agreed to acquire the Issuer Common Stock in exchange for the Purchase Price.  Pursuant to undertakings made in the Investment Agreement, a special meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders was held on October 28, 2008, at which the Issuer’s stockholders approved the issuance by the Issuer of up to an aggregate of 46,904,763 shares of Issuer Common Stock to OEP and certain other institutional investors.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, three individuals nominated by OEP were appointed to the Board.  At least one OEP nominee is elected or appointed to each of the three classes of the Board with terms expiring in, respectively, the calendar years 2009, 2010 and 2011. OEP has designated David M. Cohen, Colin M. Farmer and David A. Eckert as its nominees to the Board.


In addition, the Investment Agreement provides that, for so long as OEP holds (i) at least 30% of the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, OEP may designate three directors to the Board, (ii) at least 20% but less than 30% of the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, OEP may designate two directors to the Board, and (iii) at least 10% but less than 20% of the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, OEP may designate one director to the Board.  If OEP holds less than 10% of the then outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, the Issuer will no longer have an obligation to include any nominee designated by OEP for election to the Board.


The Investment Agreement also provides that the directors chosen by OEP are entitled to serve on each committee of the Board and that the number of directors appointed to each committee must be proportionate to the number of directors OEP is entitled to nominate for appointment to the Board at any given time (except if an OEP-designated director is not independent and a committee must be comprised of all independent directors).  The Issuer has agreed to provide the directors designated by OEP with the same compensation and indemnification in connection with their roles as directors as the other non-employee members of the Board.


Except as otherwise permitted in the Investment Agreement, until the earlier of twelve months after October 28, 2008 or the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement), OEP has agreed, among other things, not to transfer or sell any of its shares of Issuer Common Stock.  After this period, OEP has agreed that it may only transfer its shares of Issuer Common Stock (i) in a privately negotiated transaction to any person or group that would not acquire pursuant to such transfer, 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock or (ii) into the public market pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or otherwise, so long as OEP does not knowingly transfer its shares of Issuer Common Stock to any person or group that, as a result of such transfer, would beneficially own 10% or more of the issued and








outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock.  However, OEP is permitted to transfer all or a portion of its shares of Issuer Common Stock to certain affiliates of OEP and pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exchange offer or other business combination, acquisition of assets or similar transaction that has, without the participation of OEP, resulted in a change of control of the Issuer.


OEP has also agreed that until a Standstill Termination Date (as defined in the Investment Agreement) it will be bound to a customary standstill provision, subject to certain exceptions.


In addition, the Investment Agreement provides that if at any time after the closing the Issuer makes a public or non-public offering of Issuer Common Stock (or other securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Issuer Common Stock), other than the issuance under a benefit plan or any direct or indirect business combination or acquisition transaction, OEP will have the opportunity to acquire from the Issuer, at the same price and on the same terms, such new securities as are proposed to be offered to others up to the amount that would enable OEP to maintain the proportionate interest it held in the Issuer prior to such issuance.  This right will terminate if OEP holds less than 10% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock.

In connection with the Investment Agreement, OEP entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Issuer and certain other institutional investors parties thereto (collectively with OEP, the “Investors,” and each, an “Investor”), dated as of October 28, 2008, that became effective immediately upon the closing of the Investment on October 28, 2008 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer granted (i) OEP three demand registration rights, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) the Investors piggyback registration rights with respect to the registration of securities by the Issuer for its account, and for the account of other Investors, in each case, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.  In addition, OEP has the right to request up to five unde rwritten Shelf Takedowns (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and to sell a portion of its shares of Issuer Common Stock in connection with certain underwritten Shelf Takedowns requested by other Investors, in each case, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing summaries of the Investment Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and each is qualified in its entirety incorporated by reference to the complete text of such agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
