This Amendment No. 10 amends the Schedule 13D (the "Original 13D")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 29, 2005 and
as amended on September 14, 2005, September 26, 2005, October 20, 2005, November
8, 2005, January 12, 2006, June 20, 2006, December 18, 2007, January 4, 2008 and
August 12, 2008. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Original 13D, as previously
amended, remains in full force and effect. Terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original 13D.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
Item 2(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) The undersigned hereby file this Schedule 13D Statement on behalf
of SPO Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SPO"), SPO Advisory
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SPO Advisory Partners"), SPO
Advisory Corp., a Delaware corporation ("SPO Advisory Corp."), John H. Scully
("JHS"), William E. Oberndorf ("WEO"), William J. Patterson ("WJP"), Edward H.
McDermott ("EHM"), the William and Susan Oberndorf Trust, dated 10/19/98
("Oberndorf Trust"), Oberndorf Family Partners, a California limited partnership
("OFP"), the Elizabeth R. & William J. Patterson Foundation, a California
corporation ("Patterson Foundation"), Ian R. McGuire ("IRM") and Betty Jane
Weimer ("BJW"). SPO, SPO Advisory Partners, SFP, SF Advisory Partners, SPO
Advisory Corp., JHS, WEO, WJP, EHM, the Oberndorf Trust, OFP, Patterson
Foundation, IRM and BJW are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Reporting
Persons." The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because
they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"),
although neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be
deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a group exists. San
Francisco Partners II, L.P., a California limited partnership ("SFP"), and SF
Advisory Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SF Advisory
Partners"), who previously reported holdings under the last amendment to the
Original 13D, have subsequently sold all their holdings in the Issuer and
therefore are not reporting beneficial ownership of Shares in this Amendment
No. 10.
The subsections with respect to SFP and SF Advisory Partners of Item
2(b)-(c) are hereby deleted in their entirety.
