the outstanding Common Stock. MMI Investments has the sole power to direct the

virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be deemed to be

power over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having
the sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of MMI

Except for the Shares owned by MMI Investments, as of the date hereof,
neither MCM nor, to MMI Investments' and MCM's knowledge, any of the persons

(c) Except for the open market purchases of Common Stock by MMI Investments

there have been no transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the past
60 days by MMI Investments, MCM, or, to either Reporting Person's knowledge, any
of the persons listed on Schedule I.
(d) No person other than MMI Investments is known to either Reporting
Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares referred to
in Item 5(a) above.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
By virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares of the Issuer owned by MMI
Investments. Other than as described in Item 3 of this Statement (and the Joint
Filing Agreement filed as an Exhibit to the Original Schedule 13D) there are no
contracts, arrangements or understandings between the reporting persons or
between either of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any
