The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by each of the Funds were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the 6,094,785 Shares owned by Master Fund is approximately $40,531,680, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,600,895 Shares owned by Fund II is approximately $10,692,131, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,804,320 Shares owned by Ktown is approximately $12,312,548, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 123,986,954 Shares outstanding, as of July 25, 2016, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2016.

As of the close of business on September 2, 2016, Master Fund owned directly 6,094,785 Shares, constituting approximately 4.92% of the Shares outstanding, Fund II owned directly 1,600,895 Shares, constituting approximately 1.29% of the Shares outstanding and Ktown owned directly 1,804,320 Shares, constituting approximately 1.46% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of its relationship with each of Fund II and Ktown discussed in further detail in Item 2 of Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by each of Fund II and Ktown. By virtue of their respective relationships with the Funds discussed in further detail in Item 2 of Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, each of Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management and Messrs. Blitzer and Shanon may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by the Funds.

(b) Each of Master Fund, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Master Fund. Each of Ktown, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Ktown. Each of Fund II, General Partner, Kingstown Capital, Kingstown Management, Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shanon has shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares owned directly by Fund II.

(c) Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

As previously reported in Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, each of Master Fund, Fund II and Ktown entered into certain cash-settled total return swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”). Each of the Swap Agreements entered into by Master Fund, Fund II and Ktown has been terminated.

The Reporting Persons hold $7 million of the Issuer’s 6.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of May 12, 2014. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will mature on May 15, 2019. Interest for the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of original issuance. The Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. For additional information regarding the Notes, reference is made to the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on May 13, 2014.
