Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

Information regarding source and amount of funds to be used in the Merger (as defined below) is described below and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

As of November 7, 2011, ACOF II contemplates effecting a transaction pursuant to which each of ACOF II, EGS Dutchco B.V., a Netherlands corporation (“EGS”), and NewBridge International Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“NewBridge”), would contribute all of the shares of Common Stock it owns to a newly-formed Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Contribution”).  After giving effect to the Contribution, Parent would own approximately 91.6% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (based upon 76,507,373 shares of Common Stock outstanding on October 28, 2011 as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011 filed with the Commission on November 2, 2011).

Promptly following the Contribution, it is contemplated that Parent would, directly or indirectly through one or more subsidiaries, conduct a “short-form” merger (the “Merger”) with and into the Issuer under Section 253 (“Section 253”) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger.  Pursuant to the Merger, each share of Common Stock (other than shares of Common Stock held by the Issuer or directly or indirectly owned by Parent or by stockholders who properly perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL) would be converted into the right to receive $3.25 in cash.  Parent would use either, or a combination of, proceeds from existing debt facilities or new equity or debt proceeds from third parties or affiliates of the Issuer to fund the transaction.  If it determines to consummate the transactions as described above, Parent would be authorized under Section 253 to effect the Merger without the approval of the Issuer’s board of directors or stockholders.  Upon consummation of the Merger, the Issuer’s stockholders (as of immediately prior to the Merger) would no longer hold stock in the Issuer.  Under Delaware law, the exclusive remedy for minority stockholders who object to a short-form merger is appraisal rights (subject to their compliance with the applicable appraisal procedures under Delaware law), absent fraud or illegality.

It is contemplated that, subsequent to the Merger, Parent would cause the Issuer to delist the shares from trading on the NYSE Amex and terminate the registration of the shares of Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”).

As a result of the New Stockholders Agreement (as described in Amendment No. 5), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act.  The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the 13,460,624 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by EGS in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission’) and the 20,524,270 shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by NewBridge in filings with the Commission, and such shares are not included in the number of shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons on the cover pages hereto.

The Ares Entities review on a continuing basis ACOF II’s investment in the Issuer.  Based on such review, the transactions, or any part of the transactions, described above may not be carried out, or may not be carried out in any particular time frame, at any time for any reason.  In addition, one or more of the Ares Entities, individually or in the aggregate, from time to time, may acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities, enter into or unwind hedging or other derivative transactions with respect to such securities, pledge their interest in such securities as a means of obtaining liquidity or as credit support for loans for any purpose, or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, in light

8

of general investment and trading policies of the Ares Entities, the Issuer’s business, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors.  In addition, ACOF II may exercise any and all of its rights in a manner consistent with its equity interests, contractual rights and restrictions and other duties, if any.  These potential actions could involve one or more of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of the form Schedule 13D promulgated under the Act.  In addition, from time to time the Ares Entities and their representatives and advisers may communicate with each other and with other stockholders, industry participants and other interested parties concerning the Issuer.
