ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
On October 26, 2005 at the request of the Company, an Ad Hoc Committee
(the "Ad Hoc Committee") of holders of the Notes was organized to consider
strategic alternatives relating to the Company.
On November 30, 2005, Alexandra entered into a confidentiality agreement
with the Company and became a member of the Ad Hoc Committee. A copy of the
confidentiality agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated into
this Item 4 by reference. The members of the Ad Hoc Committee are filing

as amended.

proposal to acquire or dispose of the Company's securities, consistent with its
investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may
acquire additional securities of the Company or dispose of any or all of its
investment in the Company depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment

Company, subsequent developments affecting the Company, its business and
prospects, general prevailing market and economic conditions, tax
considerations, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the
Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations and factors deemed
relevant. In addition, each of the Reporting Persons may in the future take such

operations of the Company, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or
similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock or changing its intention

Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may
engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Company, one or
more officers of the Company, one or more members of the board of directors of
the Company and/or one or more representatives of the Company regarding the
Company, including but not limited to its operations. The Reporting Persons may
discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the following: the
acquisition by persons of additional securities of the Company, an extraordinary
corporate transaction involving the Company, and/or changes in the board of
directors or management of the Company.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no oral or written
agreements, understandings or arrangements with each other or any other person
relating to acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the
Company or otherwise with respect to the Company.
Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently

position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with
respect thereto.

securities held by any person or entity other than, to the extent of any
pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts under such Reporting Person's
management and control. The securities reported herein as being beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons do not include any securities held by other
members of Ad Hoc Committee (including but not limited to accounts or entities
