ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The shares of the Issuer's Common Stock described herein were acquired for 
investment purposes and for the purposes set forth below.

Oaktree, as the general partner of the Funds, will  evaluate the Issuer's 
businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and all other 
factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional shares of the 
Issuer's Common Stock will be acquired by either of the Funds.  The 
investment strategy of the Opportunities Fund is generally to invest in the 
securities and other obligations of distressed entities.  The investment 
strategy of the Principal Opportunities Fund is generally to invest in 
entities in which there is a potential to exercise significant influence over 
such entities.  Additional shares of Common Stock may be acquired in the open 
market or in privately negotiated transactions, or some or all of the shares 
of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Funds may 
be sold.  Oaktree currently has no agreements, beneficially or otherwise, 
which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in 
Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, as part of its ongoing review of 
investment alternatives, Oaktree may consider such matters in the future and, 
subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, 
and, from time to time, Oaktree may hold discussions with or make formal 
proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other 
shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.
