Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     The Filing Persons purchased the Shares reported herein as part of their
ordinary course investment activities and intend to review on a continuing
basis their investment in the Issuer. Depending on their review and evaluation
of the business and prospects of the Issuer and the price level of the Shares,
or such other factors as they may deem relevant, the Filing Persons may
acquire additional Shares; may sell all or any part of their Shares pursuant
to Rule 144, in privately negotiated transactions or in sales registered or
exempt from registration under the




                                                                 PAGE 12 OF 16


Securities Act of 1933; may distribute Shares to various of their partners or
may engage in any combination of the foregoing. Subject to applicable law, the
Filing Persons may enter into derivative transactions, hedging transactions or
alternative structures with respect to the Shares. Any open market or
privately negotiated purchases, sales, distributions or other transactions may
be made at any time without additional prior notice. Any alternative that the
Filing Persons may pursue will depend upon a variety of factors, including
without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the
Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the
Issuer and general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other
investment and business opportunities available to the Filing Persons, general
stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.

     On September 27, 2006, Mr. Lampert determined that he will not be
standing for re-election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, in order to
devote more time to his other duties at Investments and Sears Holdings
Corporation. Also on September 27, 2006, the Issuer announced that the Board
of Directors of the Issuer has nominated Theodore W. Ullyot, Executive Vice
President and General Counsel of Investments, to fill the position on the
Board of Directors vacated by Mr. Lampert. The Issuer's annual meeting, at
which the vote for the new Board of Directors will occur, is currently
scheduled for December 13, 2006.

     As a result of the Filing Persons' ongoing review and evaluation of the
business, the Filing Persons may, through Mr. Ullyot's representation on the
Board of Directors and otherwise, continue to communicate with the Board of
Directors, members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time
with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or
otherwise work with management and the Board of Directors to create
stockholder value.

     Other than as described in this Item 4, none of the Filing Persons, nor,
to the knowledge of each Filing Person, any individuals listed in response to
Item 2 hereof, has any current plans or proposals that relate to or that would
result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided that the Filing Persons may,
at any time, review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer
and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.
