Barnes (the “Reporting Person”), relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock.”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on June 11, 2007 (collectively the “Prior Filings”). Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Prior Filings.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 is supplemented by adding the following:
On January 3, 2008, the Reporting Person became the trustee of a family trust (the “Trust”) which held in the aggregate on that date 1,316,488 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Reporting Person paid no consideration for assuming the position of trustee of the Trust.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 is supplemented by adding the following:
The purpose of the transaction that resulted in the Reporting Person becoming a beneficial owner of the shares held in the Trust was to serve as the trustee of the Trust. The Reporting Person has no specific plans at this time for the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Company. The Reporting Person, however, may from time to time in the future acquire or dispose of such securities for his own benefit or the benefit of the Trusts or other entities with which he is associated when personal needs, or the needs or investment objectives of the Trust or other entities, warrant such transactions. Except as stated above, the Reporting Person has no plans or proposals of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 is supplemented by adding the following:
