No. 1 to amend and supplement the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed

Amendment No. 1, the "Statement") for the purpose of disclosing the amount of
securities actually received by the Reporting Persons after giving effect to
the reallocation procedure described in this Statement.

          Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall
have the meanings set forth in the Initial Statement.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Item 3 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented
by deleting the fourth paragraph thereof in its entirety and replacing it with
the following:

          On December 30, 2003, after giving effect to the reallocation
procedure, the Issuer issued 15,947,947 shares of Common Stock and notes of
the reorganized Issuer for a principal amount of $81,560,802 to Matlin
Partners (Delaware) and 5,557,097 shares of Common Stock and notes of the
reorganized Issuer for a principal amount of $28,418,704 to Matlin Partners
(Bermuda). The Issuer has not yet distributed the cash component of the
consideration for cancellation of debt instruments pursuant to the Plan but is
expected to distribute $75,651,082.27 to Matlin Partners (Delaware) and
$26,359,546.47 to Matlin Partners (Bermuda).

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented
by deleting the first and second paragraphs thereof in their entirety and
replacing them with the following:

          Pursuant to the Plan, on December 30, 2003, the Reporting Persons
have received, as consideration for the cancellation of debt obligations
acquired through open market purchases



                               (Page 10 of 16)


and having an approximate principal amount of $1.2 billion, (i) 21,505,044
shares of Common Stock and (ii) notes of the reorganized Issuer for an
aggregate principal amount of $109,979,506. In addition, although the Issuer
has not yet distributed the cash component of the consideration for
cancellation of debt instruments pursuant to the Plan, the Reporting Persons
expect to receive cash for an approximate amount of $102,010,628.74. The
aforementioned distributions are actual distributions as adjusted pursuant to
the Plan's reallocation procedures and remain subject to further adjustments
pursuant to the Plan's treatment of disputed claims (each described in this
Item 4). The shares of Common Stock acquired by the Reporting Persons pursuant
to the Plan represent, in the aggregate, approximately 21.5% of the shares of
Common Stock of the reorganized Issuer.

          Pursuant to the reallocation procedures set forth in Article V of
the Plan, each creditor in Classes 5 and 6 was eligible to elect to contribute
(i) all of their shares of Common Stock in the reorganized Issuer at the
standard rate of $22.25 per share or at a lower price per share (ranging from
$16.00 to $22.00 in 1/4 point intervals), and/or (ii) all or a portion
(ranging from 0% to 100%) of the notes and cash to be distributed to such
creditor under the Plan. The reallocation was effectuated "dutch auction"
style first by exchanging those shares of Common Stock offered into the
reallocation pool for cash starting at the lowest price per share selected
until all of the cash or the shares of Common Stock in the reallocation pool
was exhausted. Next, any remaining shares of Common Stock were exchanged for
notes, again starting at the lowest price per share selected until all of the
notes or shares of Common Stock were exhausted.
