This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D (the “Original 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 11, 2008 and as amended on August 12, 2008, September 12, 2008, October 6, 2008, October 14, 2008, October 17, 2008 and October 22, 2008. Unless otherwise stated herein, the Original 13D, as previously amended, remains in full force and effect. Terms used therein 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 Partners II Co-Investment Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SPO Co-Investment”), SPO Advisory Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SPO Advisory Partners”), San Francisco Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership (“SFP”), SF Advisory Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SF Advisory Partners”), SPO Advisory Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SPO Advisory Corp.”), Phoebe Snow Foundation, Inc., a California corporation (“PS Foundation”), John H. Scully (“JHS”), William E. Oberndorf (“WEO”), Edward H. McDermott (“EHM”), and J. Stuart Ryan (“JSR”). SPO, SPO Co-Investment, SPO Advisory Partners, SFP, SF Advisory Partners, SPO Advisory Corp., PS Foundation, JHS, WEO, EHM and JSR 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 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.
 
The Original 13D listed William J. Patterson (“WJP”) and the Elizabeth R. & William J. Patterson Foundation (the “Patterson Foundation”) as “Reporting Persons.” William J. Patterson passed away on September 24, 2010. As a result, Mr. Patterson and the Elizabeth R. & William J. Patterson Foundation are no longer “Reporting Persons” for all purposes under this Amendment and the Original 13D.
 
All references to William J. Patterson (“WJP”) and the Elizabeth R. and William J. Patterson Foundation, a California corporation (the “Patterson Foundation”) in Item 2(b)-(c) are hereby deleted in their entirety.
 
On November 3, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Issuer elected JSR as Chairman of the Board.
 
Item 3.                    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
The source and amount of the funds used or to be used by the Reporting Persons to purchase Shares are as follows:
