Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:

On July 17, 2008 the Master Fund purchased from a stockholder of the Issuer 17,103,953 Shares for a purchase price of $0.23 per Share.

On August 22, 2008, the Issuer entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Master Fund, pursuant to which the Issuer has the right, in its sole discretion, to cause the Master Fund to purchase from the Issuer, from time to time on or prior to August 22, 2011, at one or more closings (each a “Closing”), and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, shares of a new series of non-convertible and non-voting Issuer preferred stock (which will rank pari passu to the Issuer’s Series D Nonconvertible (Non-Voting) Preferred Stock in all respects) to be named the Issuer’s Series E Nonconvertible (Non-Voting) Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Master Fund is committed to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for a purchase price, in immediately available funds, of $1,000 per share, or an aggregate of up to $50 million. The Issuer is not required, at any time, to exercise its right to cause the Master Fund to purchase any of the Series E Preferred Stock.

The Issuer and the Master Fund have each made customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement.

Under the Purchase Agreement, each Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others (i) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to the Company since March 31, 2008, and (ii) the absence of any default or event of default under the Issuer’s Credit Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). In addition, the Master Fund is not required to purchase any Series E Preferred Stock at any time at which it, together with its affiliates, owns less than a majority of the outstanding common stock.

The Purchase Agreement provides for certain customary termination rights for both the Issuer and the Master Fund, including, among others, that the Issuer may elect to terminate the Purchase Agreement by written notice at any time.

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock will have an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and the holders thereof will be entitled to cumulative dividends payable quarterly at an annual rate of 16%. The complete terms of the Series E Preferred Stock are set forth in the terms of the Certificate of The Powers, Designations, Preferences And Rights Of The Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”) which was filed by the Issuer with the Secretary of State of Delaware immediately prior to the Initial Closing.

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, on August 22, 2008 the Issuer, the Master Fund and the Special Fund entered into Amendment No. 1 to Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement Amendment”) dated as of December 28, 2007 by and among the Issuer, the Master Fund and the Special Fund. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, the Issuer has agreed to provide the Master Fund, in its capacity of a holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, certain demand and piggyback registration rights.
