Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On December 6, 2010, Ramius delivered a letter to Levy Gerzberg, the President and CEO of the Issuer, and the members of the Issuer’s Board.  In the letter, Ramius stated it believes that the Issuer’s shares are deeply undervalued and that such valuation discrepancy is primarily due to long-term fundamental underperformance and repeated missed expectations for revenue growth and profitability.  In the letter, Ramius outlined its views on the Issuer’s historical performance, operating segments, valuation and necessary changes to Board composition to restore credibility and improve performance at the Issuer. Specifically, Ramius seriously questions the Board’s oversight of the Issuer given its decision to continue to allow management to spend money chasing growth in the Issuer’s unprofitable and structurally challenged Digital Televisions (DTV) and DVD businesses.  As such, Ramius believes the best course of action for the Issuer’s stockholders is to reconstitute the Board with directors capable of taking appropriate actions to return the Issuer to an acceptable level of profitability and to represent the best interests of all shareholders.

CUSIP NO. 98975F101

·           Remove without cause six (6) members of the Issuer’s Board, Raymond A. Burgess, Uzia Galil, James D. Meindl, James B. Owens, Jr., Arthur B. Stabenow and Philip M. Young, including any person (other than those elected pursuant to the Solicitation) elected or appointed to the Board to fill any vacancy on the Board or any newly-created directorships after December 6, 2010 and prior to the effectiveness of the proposals;
 
·           Amend Article IV, Section 19 of the Bylaws to provide that any vacancies on the Board resulting from the removal of directors by the stockholders of the Issuer shall be filled exclusively by the stockholders of the Issuer; and
 
·           Elect Jon S. Castor, Dale Fuller, Thomas Lacey, Jeffrey McCreary, Jeffrey C. Smith and Edward Terino to serve as directors 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 remaining nominee or nominees).
 
Ramius reserves the right to take any other actions it deems appropriate to protect its rights as a stockholder of the Issuer.
 
On December 6, 2010, Value and Opportunity Master Fund delivered to the Issuer a letter requesting to inspect a complete list of the Issuer’s stockholders and other corporate records as permitted by applicable state law (the “Stockholder List Demand Letter”).  The purpose of the Stockholder List Demand Letter is to enable Ramius to communicate with the Issuer’s stockholders in connection with a consent solicitation Ramius is preparing to undertake.
