THE PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT NO. 15 TO SCHEDULE 13D IS TO AMEND THE PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION SECTION. THE OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGES OF THE REPORTING PERSONS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SET FORTH IN THE ISSUER’S FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006. THE INFORMATION BELOW SUPPLEMENTS THE INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED.

 

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

The aggregate value of the transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of May 16, 2007, by and among the Issuer, Axio Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Newco”), and Axio Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Newco, which are described in Item 4 below, is approximately $3 billion, including approximately $774 million of debt which Newco intends to repay at closing.

In the Equity Commitment Letter, dated May 16, 2007 (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. (“ValueAct Master Fund”) committed to provide up to $380.25 million of equity to Newco, subject to certain conditions, solely for the purpose of funding the merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement. This summary of the Equity Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Commitment Letter executed by ValueAct Master Fund, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3. On May 16, 2007, Silver Lake Partners II, L.P. (“Silver Lake”) committed to provide up to $380.25 million of equity to Newco on substantially the same terms and conditions.

In addition, Newco entered into a Bank Facilities Commitment Letter with UBS Loan Finance LLC and UBS Securities LLC (the “Lender”), dated as of May 16, 2007 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Lender committed to provide, subject to certain conditions, up to $2.275 billion in debt financing through a combination of term loan facilities and a revolving credit facility, which financing will be used to fund the merger consideration under the Merger Agreement, pay fees, commissions and expenses, repay existing debt, and for ongoing working capital requirements of the Issuer and its subsidiaries following the closing of the Transactions. This summary of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Debt Commitment Letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

In addition, as further inducement for the Issuer to enter into the Merger Agreement, ValueAct Master Fund granted a Limited Guarantee (the “Limited Guarantee”), dated as of May 16, 2007 in favor of the Issuer. Under the Limited Guarantee, ValueAct Master Fund absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed to the Issuer, subject to certain conditions, the due and punctual and complete payment, if and when due, 50% of Newco’s payment obligations pursuant to and only in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. This summary of the Limited Guarantee does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Limited Guarantee executed by ValueAct Master Fund, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3. On May 16, 2007, Silver Lake granted a similar limited guarantee to the Issuer on substantially the same terms and conditions.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On May 16, 2007, Newco and Merger Sub, entities formed by ValueAct Master Fund for the sole purpose of effecting the Transactions, and Issuer entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than shares owned by Issuer) will be converted into the right to receive $27.10 per share in cash. Each company option, company warrant and restricted stock unit that is issued and outstanding, and in the case of company options, whether vested or unvested as of the effective time of the Merger, will be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the merger consideration. The Merger is conditioned on, among other things, the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Issuer, clearance of certain regulatory approvals including under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act, and the absence of any injunction or illegality. The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 22, 2007, and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

In connection with the Transactions, ValueAct Master Fund entered into a Voting Agreement with the Company, dated as of May 16, 2007 (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which ValueAct Master Fund agreed, subject to certain conditions, (i) to vote its shares of Common Stock (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any other action or agreement that would result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled and (b) in favor of a superior proposal if recommended by the board of the Issuer; and (ii) not to transfer any Common Stock until the earlier of December 28, 2007, the effective date of the Merger under the Merger Agreement, the consummation of a superior proposal and the termination of the Merger Agreement. This summary of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 22, 2007, and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

In addition, in connection with the Transactions, the Issuer amended its Rights Agreement, dated January 28, 1998, as amended, to render such agreement inapplicable to the Transactions (including the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Limited Guarantee and other agreements entered into, and actions taken, in connection therewith).

In addition, in connection with the Transactions, the Issuer, ValueAct Master Fund, VA Partners, LLC, ValueAct Capital Management, L.P. and ValueAct Capital Management, LLC entered into Amendment No. 2 to that certain Agreement dated August 5, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on August 5, 2006 (the “Settlement Agreement Amendment”) to allow the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the other exhibits to the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.


This summary of the Settlement Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 22, 2007, and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

The purpose of the Transactions is to acquire all of the outstanding Common Stock (other than shares owned by Issuer). If the Transactions are consummated, the Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ-GS and will cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Issuer will be privately held.

On May 16, 2007, the Issuer announced the above described transaction in a press release. The press release which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 22, 2007, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b). Set forth below is the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for each person named in Item 2.

VA Partners, ValueAct Management LLC and the Managing Members also, directly or indirectly, may own interests in one or more than one of the partnerships from time to time.
