Purpose of Transaction ---------------------- Item 4 is hereby restated in its entirety as follows: The Reporting Person acquired, on behalf of AJR, Cambrian Fund and the Managed Accounts, and continues to hold, the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D, as amended, for investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to evaluate the performance of the Shares as an investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Person pursues an investment objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which the Reporting Person's clients invest, including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies. The Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Shares in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional Shares or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Shares presently held by AJR, Cambrian Fund, and the Managed Accounts in the open market or in private transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Person may deem material to its investment decision. The Reporting Person will continue its active discussions with the Issuer's management with respect to actions which might be taken by the management of the Issuer to maximize shareholder value of the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Person may hold discussions with other parties who might engage in shareholder value enhancing activities for the benefit of all of the Issuer's shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Reporting Person will take any of the actions described in the previous sentence. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer ------------------------------------ (a) Based upon the information contained in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarterly period ended January 27, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission there were issued and outstanding 197,274,984 Shares as of February 28, 2008. (b) The Reporting Person does not directly own any Shares. The Reporting Person has entered into an investment advisory agreement with each of AJR, Cambrian Fund and the Managed Accounts pursuant to which the Reporting Person has investment authority with respect to the securities held by such entities or in such accounts. Such power includes the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares. As a result of the foregoing, for purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, the Reporting Person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by such entities and accounts. Accordingly, the Reporting Person is deemed the beneficial owner of 12,912,000 Shares, or 6.5% of the outstanding Shares.
