Unless otherwise stated herein, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 have the same meanings as those set forth in the Initial Statement.
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
     The Reporting Persons have determined not to pursue a transaction with the Issuer at this time.
     The Reporting Persons may pursue other alternatives available in order to maximize the value of their investment in the Issuer. Such alternatives could include, without limitation, (i) the purchase of additional Common Stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by them. The Reporting Persons may contact and consult with other shareholders of the Issuer concerning the Issuer, its prospects, and any or all of the foregoing matters.
     The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or intentions and to take any and all actions that they may deem appropriate to maximize the value of their investment in the Issuer in light of their general investment policies, market conditions, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer and the general business and future prospects of the Issuer.
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Items 5(a), (b), (c) and (e) are hereby amended as set forth below:

The aggregate percentage of shares reported herein is based upon 31,186,247 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares outstanding as of March 28, 2008 as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2008 for the year ended February 2, 2008.
     (b)     The table below sets forth for each of the Reporting Persons the number of Issuer’s Common Stock for which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or direct the vote, or sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
