This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) supplements, amends and relates to information in the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2007 by the persons filing this Amendment  (the “ Original Schedule “), as such Original Schedule was amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Commission on November 14, 2007 by the persons filing this Amendment. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule.

 

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following information:

 

On November 20, 2007, Textron announced that its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Marco Acquisition Sub Inc. (“Marco”)  purchased and paid for a total of 8,417,623 shares of Common Stock which were tendered in the Offer, representing approximately 85% of the outstanding Shares.  Textron also announced that 1,621,653 shares of Common Stock, which had been tendered in the Offer through notices of guaranteed delivery, had not been delivered as required on or before November 16, 2007 and, as a result, such shares of Common Stock had not yet been purchased by Marco.  Accordingly, the Merger has not yet occurred.

 

Textron plans to complete the Merger as soon as practicable, and may, if necessary, request that the Company call a meeting of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Merger.

 

The Reporting Persons have demanded delivery of Shares tendered in the Offer through notices of guaranteed delivery.  In addition, prior to completion of the Merger, the Reporting Persons may purchase or otherwise acquire additional shares of Common Stock in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at a purchase price not to exceed $81.00 per share.  Marco may elect to exercise its previously disclosed Top Up Option to purchase from the Company additional shares of Common Stock.  As a result of purchases in the Offer, or purchases made after the Offer, the Common Stock may be de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and may cease to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, before completion of the merger.  The Reporting Persons may cause the Company to request that the Common Stock be delisted from the NYSE.

 

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(a)-(b) Each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 8,417,623 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 85% of the outstanding Shares.  This amount does not include 1,621,653 shares of Common Stock which have been tendered to Marco in the Offer through notices of guaranteed delivery but have not been delivered as required on or before November 16, 2007 and, as a result, have not yet been purchased by Marco.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons has the power to vote or direct the voting, and to dispose or direct the disposition of all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.

 

(c) Except for the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, described above, neither of the Reporting Persons, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in Schedule A, has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock since November 14, 2007, the date of the most recent filing on Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons.

 

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Company reported herein.

 

(e) Not applicable.
