Preliminary Note: This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the
Schedule 13D initially filed on October 12, 2006 (collectively, with all
amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13D").
The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to report that
certain of the Reporting Persons have executed with the Company the Amendment to
the Lock-up Agreement described in Item 4 below. For information regarding such
agreement, see Item 4 below. The Reporting Persons have not consummated any
transactions in the Preferred Shares since the filing of the initial Schedule
13D.
The number of Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons and reported herein is convertible at any time without expiration,
unless earlier redeemed at the Company's discretion, into the number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"),
as is equal to the aggregate liquidation preference ($50.00 per share), plus any
accrued and accumulated dividends as of the date the Preferred Shares are
surrendered for conversion, divided by an initial conversion price of $15.00,
subject to adjustment. The Reporting Persons in aggregate beneficially own less
than 5% of the Company's Common Shares. Unless stated otherwise, all numbers and
percentages in this Schedule 13D represent Preferred Shares currently held by
certain Reporting Persons and such number and percentages do not reflect Common
Shares.
Item 4. Purpose Of The Transaction
------ --------------------------
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the
following:
As reported in the initial Schedule 13D, certain of the Reporting
Persons, as holders of the Preferred Shares reported herein, previously entered
into a Lock-up and Voting Agreement (the "Lock-up Agreement") with the Company
which provided that, upon certain terms and conditions, the Reporting Persons
will support a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization filed by the Company pursuant
to which, among other provisions, the holders of the Company's Preferred Shares
and holders of the Company's shares of common stock would receive certain cash
distributions with respect to their respective security holdings. On November
18, 2006, certain of the Reporting Persons, as holders of the Preferred Shares
reported herein, entered into an amendment to the Lock-up Agreement (the
"Amendment to the Lock-up Agreement") with the Company. The Amendment to the
Lock-up Agreement changes the allocation of certain cash distributions to be
made to the holders of the Company's Preferred Shares and holders of the
Company's shares of common stock with respect to their respective security
holdings. This description of the Amendment to the Lock-up Agreement is
qualified in its entirety by the full terms and conditions of the Amendment to
the Lock-up Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference. For the actual
terms and conditions of the Amendment to the Lock-Up Agreement, see the
Amendment to the Lock-up Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form
8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November
20, 2006 (the "Form 8-K"). For more information regarding the Amendment to the
Lock-up Agreement, see the Form 8-K.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal,
none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or
could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons
