Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Schedule 13D to the Schedule 13D or terms of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the Schedule 13D as amended and supplemented hereby. The Reporting Persons have entered into a Second Amendment and Restated Joint Filing Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit D to the Schedule 13D, and which is incorporated herein by reference. Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed an admission by the Reporting Persons that they constitute a "group" as such term is used in Section 13(d)(1)(k) of the rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The Reporting Persons, as large, long-time and concerned stockholders of the Company, are considering their alternatives with respect to their investment in the Company and possible means to maximize shareholder value. The Reporting Persons are considering various strategies to increase the value of the Reporting Persons' investment in the Company, including proposals to effect certain corporate governance changes at the Company, a merger or sale of the Company or a going private transaction. The Reporting Persons have engaged Imperial Capital, LLC ("Imperial Capital") to act as the Reporting Persons' financial advisor in connection with these efforts. The Reporting Persons are also evaluating their options with respect to proposals they may make at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders. These proposals could include an alternate slate of nominees for election to the Company's board of directors, and shareholder proposals urging the Company to utilize its previously approved authority to buy back shares of the Company's Common Stock, and/or eliminate director fees. The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth in the Schedule 13D as amended or supplemented, or such as would occur in connection with any of the proposals discussed in the Schedule 13D as amended or supplemented. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Company's financial position and strategic direction, the Company's response to the actions suggested by the Reporting Persons, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate including, but not limited to, purchasing additional Common Stock or other securities of the Company or selling some or all of their Common Stock, communicating with the Company or other investors or conducting a proxy solicitation with respect to the election of directors of the Company. ITEM 5.

(e) Not Applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 1. The Reporting Persons have engaged Imperial Capital to act as financial advisor in connection with any potential acquisition or other transaction involving the Company. The Reporting Persons have agreed to pay Imperial Capital (i) a retainer fee payable upon execution of the agreement, (ii) a financial advisory fee payable on a monthly basis, (iii) a "trading floor fee," payable in the event that the Company's closing share price remains above a specified price for a specified period and the Reporting Persons have not sold all of their shares, and (iv) a transaction fee payable based on the value per share achieved in the transaction. The Reporting Persons have also agreed to reimburse Imperial Capital for its expenses and indemnify Imperial Capital and its affiliates against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of their performance of services for the Reporting Persons. 2. In addition to beneficially holding the Common Stock, the Partnerships are parties to the following equity swap arrangements: K Capital Structure Arbitrage Offshore, L.P. ("SAO") has entered into equity swap agreements with certain securities brokers under which such brokers agreed to pay SAO an amount equal to any increase at maturity or termination, and SAO agreed to pay such brokers an amount equal to any decrease at maturity or termination, in the official market price of 5,588,825 shares of the Common Stock above or below an initial reference price per share. The brokers will pay to SAO an amount equal to any dividends paid on the shares during the term of the equity swap agreement. All balances will be cash-settled, and neither party acquires any voting or similar rights, or dispositive power over the shares. Except as described in Item 4 above and in this Item 6, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company other than the governing documents of the Partnerships.
