This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D filed on June
22, 2007 by the Reporting Persons, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed
on June 29, 2007, by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on July 19, 2007 and by
Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on July 23, 2007 (as so amended, the "Schedule
13D") relates to the Common Stock of the Issuer and is being filed to amend the
Schedule 13D as specifically set forth below.
The information set forth in the Exhibits to this Amendment is hereby
expressly incorporated herein by reference, and the responses to each item of
this Amendment are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of such
Exhibits. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless otherwise amended
hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
ITEM 4. IS AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING:
On July 25, 2007, AMLP sent a letter to the Board again requesting that the
Board reconsider its pursuit of the proposed transaction with Centerbridge
Capital Partners, L.P. ("Centerbridge"), which is described in the Issuer's
current report on Form 8-K filed on July 5, 2007 (the "Proposed Centerbridge
Transaction"), as modified by the terms described in the Issuer's Omnibus Reply
to Objections to the Issuer's motion before the bankruptcy court, seeking
approval of, among other things, the terms under which Centerbridge is willing
to invest in a plan of reorganization of the Company (the "Modified Centerbridge
Investment Terms").
In the July 25 letter, AMLP (i) stated its belief that a plan of
reorganization based upon the Modified Centerbridge Investment Terms, which was
submitted by Centerbridge largely as a counter to the enhancements proposed and
committed to by AMLP, still falls short of providing a construct for a
reorganization that is in the best interests of all stakeholders, and (ii)
committed to make several improvements to the Modified Centerbridge Investment
Terms. The foregoing summary of AMLP's July 25th letter to the Board is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the July 25th letter, a copy of which
is filed with this Amendment No. 4 as Exhibit 5 to the Schedule 13D.
While the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals,
except as otherwise described in the Schedule 13D, which relate to or would
result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of the form of Schedule 13D promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), each of the Reporting
Persons reserves the right, in light of its or his ongoing evaluation of the
Issuer's financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market
price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally,
general economic and industry conditions, its or his business objectives and
other relevant factors, to change its or his plans and intentions at any time,
as it or he deems appropriate. In particular, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of applicable court
orders, restrictions and agreements and to any limitations imposed by applicable
law, including the Exchange Act, each of the Reporting Persons (and their
respective affiliates) may (i) purchase additional shares of Common Stock or
other securities of or claims against the Issuer, (ii) sell or transfer shares
of Common Stock or other securities or claims beneficially owned by it or him
from time to time in public or private
Page 7 of 9
transactions and (iii) cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind
to their respective stockholders, partners or members, as the case may be,
shares of Common Stock or other securities or claims owned by such Reporting
Persons. The Reporting Persons may seek the views of, hold discussions with, or
respond to inquiries from members of the Issuer's management or Board of
Directors or other persons including other stockholders, or holders of claims in
the Issuer's bankruptcy proceedings, regarding the Issuer's affairs,
restructuring or other strategic matters.
