This Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 22, 1999, as amended by the first amendment, as filed with the SEC on December 20, 1999, the second amendment, as filed with the SEC on September 13, 2000, the third amendment, as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2002, the fourth amendment, as filed with the SEC on May 17, 2002, the fifth amendment, as filed with the SEC on July 3, 2002, the sixth amendment, as filed with the SEC on August 8, 2002, the seventh amendment, as filed with the SEC on December 15, 2003, the eighth amendment, as filed with the SEC on November 9, 2005, the ninth amendment, as filed with the SEC on August 15, 2007, the tenth amendment, as filed with the SEC on December 24, 2008, the eleventh amendment, as filed with the SEC on January 6, 2009, the twelfth amendment, as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2009, the thirteenth amendment, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009, the fourteenth amendment, as filed with the SEC on June 19, 2009, and the fifteenth amendment, as filed with the SEC on November 19, 2009 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D").  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is supplemented as follows:

On November 30, 2009 (the "Effective Date"), the Issuer, CII and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Issuer (collectively, the "Debtors") consummated their reorganization under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code and the joint plan of reorganization of the Debtors (the "Plan") became effective.  Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by Mr. Allen and/or CII, were cancelled.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

(a) Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by Mr. Allen and/or CII, were cancelled.  As of November 30, 2009 (the "Reporting Date"), neither Mr. Allen nor CII beneficially owns any shares of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by Jo Allen Patton, director and President of CII, were cancelled.  As of the Reporting Date, Ms. Patton does not beneficially own any shares of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

None of the other persons named in Item 2 beneficially owns any shares of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(b) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons disclosed in Item 5 beneficially owns any shares of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(c) On November 30, 2009, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by any of Mr. Allen, CII, and/or Ms. Patton, were cancelled pursuant to the Plan.

 
 
 

(e) On November 30, 2009, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by Mr. Allen and/or CII, were cancelled pursuant to the Plan.  As a result, on November 30, 2009, each of Mr. Allen and CII ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
