CUSIP NO. 217721 10 9

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons originally purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
On May 28, 2010, the Committee filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a preliminary consent solicitation statement in connection with its anticipated solicitation of written consents (the “Solicitation”) from the stockholders of the Issuer to consent to the following actions without a stockholders’ meeting, as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”):
 
 
·
Repeal any provision of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) in effect at the time this proposal becomes effective that was not included in the Bylaws that became effective on August 4, 2008, and were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2008;
 
 
·
Amend the Bylaws to allow only stockholders of the Issuer to fix the number of directors of the Issuer and to set the size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at six directors;
 
 
·
Amend the Bylaws to allow newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the size of the Board to be filled only by election by the stockholders; and
 
 
·
Upon approval of Proposals 2 and 3 above, elect each of Bruce F. Johnson, Lewis Titterton and Robert I. Webber (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) to serve as a director of the Issuer (or, if any such Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of the Issuer, any other person designated as a Nominee by the Committee).
 
The Committee is seeking to add three independent directors to the Issuer’s Board because it does not believe the current Board is acting in the best interests of the Issuer’s stockholders and that new independent directors are necessary in order to enhance stockholder value.  The Committee believes the approval of the actions will provide the Issuer with qualified and committed directors who, in accordance with their respective fiduciary duties as directors, will provide proper oversight and direct management to take decisive steps to maximizing stockholder value.

CUSIP NO. 217721 10 9
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with third parties about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 146,710,451 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares reported to be outstanding as of March 12, 2010 in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2010.

As of the date hereof, Messrs. Johnson, Reynolds, Richards and Titterton beneficially own 3,181,688, 2,000,000, 990,000 and 5,356,862 Shares, respectively, representing approximately 2.2%, 1.4%, less than 1%, and 3.4%, respectively, of the Shares outstanding.  As of the date hereof, Mr. Webber did not directly own any Shares.

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons, for the purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by the other Reporting Persons.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any Shares he does not directly own.  Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein that he does not directly own, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

(b)           See Items 7, 9 and 11 on pages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 of this Schedule 13D.

(c)           Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in the Shares by the Reporting Persons during the last sixty days.  All of such transactions were effected in the open market.

(d)           No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

Johnson, Reynolds, Richards and Titterton agreed to bear all expenses incurred in connection with the Committee’s activities, including expenses incurred in connection with the Solicitation, and to share such expenses equally among them.  The Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to letter agreements, each of Messrs. Johnson, Titterton and Webber consented to being named as nominees in any consent statement or proxy statement filed by the Committee in connection with the Solicitation and serving as a director of the Issuer if elected.
