Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Original 13D. Item 2. Identity and Background. Item 2(a) is hereby amended as a result of the name change of QDRA LLC to Quadrangle Debt Recovery Advisors LLC, and each reference to QDRA LLC in the Schedule 13D shall be to Quadrangle Debt Recovery Advisors LLC. Item 2(b) and Item 2(c) are hereby amended by the deletion of the Schedule A-3 attached to the Original 13D and its replacement with Schedule A-3 attached hereto. Item 2(d) and Item 2(e) are hereby amended by the deletion of the entirety of the text thereof and its replacement with the following: (d) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons or any other person named in any of Schedule A-1, Schedule A-2, Schedule A-3, Schedule A-4, Schedule A-5 and Schedule A-6 hereto has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). (e) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons or any other person named in any of Schedule A-1, Schedule A-2, Schedule A-3, Schedule A-4, Schedule A-5 and Schedule A-6 hereto has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following to the text thereof: On September 15, 2006, the Company's First Amended Joint Prenegotiated Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), dated July 7, 2006 and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern 8 District of New York on August 30, 2006, became effective (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things, all of the Common Stock of the Company was cancelled and ceased to exist. As a result, on September 15, 2006, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to own Common Stock. The Company emerged from the bankruptcy proceedings as a privately held company, and the Reporting Persons currently own common stock of such privately held company. The Original 13D was filed on August 19, 2004. As the result of sales of Common Stock on September 15, 2005, the Reporting Persons were the beneficial owners of 2,714,592 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, which represented approximately 5.8% of the total outstanding Common Stock. On December 16, 2005, the Reporting Persons were the beneficial owners of 2,254,592 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, representing approximately 4.8% of the total outstanding Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Reporting Persons were the beneficial owners of 1,781,952 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, representing approximately 3.8% of the total outstanding Common Stock. All references to the total outstanding Common Stock are to 46,631,924 shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 7, 2005, December 7, 2005, and September 13, 2006, as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ending July 30, 2005, October 29, 2005, and April 29, 2006, respectively. (a) and (b) The beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons as of September 15, 2005, was as follows: The Primary Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 2,609,462 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5.6%, of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. QDOFM, an affiliate of the Primary Reporting Person, was the beneficial owner of 105,130 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.2% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons may be deemed also to have beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,714,592 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5.8% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock, indirectly as a result of their control relationship with the Primary Reporting Person and QDOFM. Any such beneficial ownership would represent the same shared voting and dispositive power exercised by the Primary Reporting Person or QDOFM over the shares of Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. The beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons as of December 16, 2005, was as follows: 9 The Primary Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 2,167,277 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.7%, of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. QDOFM, an affiliate of the Primary Reporting Person, was the beneficial owner of 87,315 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.2% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons may be deemed also to have beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,254,592 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.8% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock, indirectly as a result of their control relationship with the Primary Reporting Person and QDOFM. Any such beneficial ownership would represent the same shared voting and dispositive power exercised by the Primary Reporting Person or QDOFM over the shares of Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. The beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons immediately prior to the Effective Date was as follows: The Primary Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 1,712,942 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 3.7%, of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. QDOFM, an affiliate of the Primary Reporting Person, was the beneficial owner of 69,010 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.1% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons may be deemed also to have beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,781,952 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 3.8% of the Company's total outstanding Common Stock, indirectly as a result of their control relationship with the Primary Reporting Person and QDOFM. Any such beneficial ownership would represent the same shared voting and dispositive power exercised by the Primary Reporting Person or QDOFM over the shares of Common Stock. The Controlling Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. (c) Schedule B hereto sets forth information with respect to transactions by the Primary Reporting Person in the Common Stock since the filing of the Original 13D. Schedule C hereto sets forth information with respect to transactions by QDOFM in the Common Stock since the filing of the Original 13D. Schedule D hereto sets forth information with respect to transactions by the Controlling Reporting Persons in the Common Stock since the filing of the Original 13D. Except as set forth above and on Schedule B, Schedule C and Schedule D, since the filing of the Original 13D there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons. 10 (d) No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the securities to which this Statement relates. (e) As described more fully above, on the Effective Date all of the Common Stock was cancelled and therefore each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock. 11 SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
