During the last five years, none of the reporting entities described in this Item 2 has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

CUSIP No. 74051E102 | 13D/A | Page 6 of 8 |
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
On July 23, 2008, Mark Sellers and Mark Hugh Sam, affiliates of the Reporting Persons, were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons are seeking, and the Issuer has agreed, to have these appointees nominated for election to the Board by the Issuer’s shareholders at the Issuer’s 2008 annual meeting.
The Reporting Persons, through their affiliates on the Board of Directors and communications with officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, are seeking to implement financial control and governance reforms in the Issuer’s business.
The Reporting Persons have also challenged the validity of the purported appointment of two individuals, Mr. Harold Ingalls and Mr. Gregg Goodman, to the Issuer’s Board of Directors. Toward this end, the Reporting Persons advised Arnie Geller, the Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, of their challenge and the legal basis for it and requested Mr.Geller to place the matter on the Board’s agenda for its meeting on August 8, 2008. In addition, the Reporting Persons discussed with Mr. Geller the possibility of his re-appointment as the Issuer’s Executive Chair.
As disclosed in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 11, 2008, on August 8, 2008, the Issuer’s Board of Directors re-appointed Mr. Geller as the Issuer’s Executive Chair and determined that the previously announced appointments of Mr. Ingalls and Mr. Goodman to the Issuer’s Board of Directors were administratively ineffectual. Accordingly, Mr. Ingalls and Mr. Goodman are not Directors of the Issuer.
In the event that the Reporting Persons’ proposed financial and governance reforms are not adopted by the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may undertake further measures in an effort to have these reforms adopted, which measures might include nominating their own slate of directors for election by the Issuer’s shareholders to replace some or all of the current members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors. In addition to the matters discussed above, the Reporting Persons may formulate plans or proposals for, and may from time to time explore, or make proposals relating to, transactions or actions which relate to or would result in any of the other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) SCMF is the owner of 4,778,399 Shares, representing approximately 15.8% of the outstanding Shares. PVF is the owner of 119,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.4% of the outstanding Shares. SC, on behalf of separate accounts it manages, is the owner of 16,844 Shares, representing a negligible percentage of the outstanding Shares. The percentages used herein are based on the 30,249,781 Shares reported to be issued and outstanding as of July 7, 2008 by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on July 10, 2008.
