Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     As of 2:15pm,  Standard  Eastern Time, on December 14, 2004,  the aggregate
purchase  price  of  6,330,500  Class A  Shares  and  3,646,900  Class B  Shares
purchased by High River,  Icahn  Master and Icahn  Partners,  collectively,  was

commissions),  respectively.  The source of funding  for the  purchase  of these
Shares was the respective  general working capital of the purchasers,  and, with
respect to High  River,  pursuant to margin  accounts  in the regular  course of
business.


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     Registrants   acquired  the  Shares   believing  them  to  be  undervalued,
especially  in  light of the  possibility  that  Issuer  may  acquire  Hollywood
Entertainment Corporation ("Hollywood").
 
     Registrants  believe  that  they  are  holders  of the  largest  number  of
outstanding shares of Issuer in the aggregate and are also the largest holder of
Hollywood's  outstanding  shares.  Registrants  support  the effort of Issuer to
obtain  due  diligence  from  Hollywood  with a view to  making a firm  offer to
acquire Hollywood.  Registrants believe that because of the synergies that would
be involved  in a  combination  of Issuer and  Hollywood,  Issuer  would be in a
position  to  offer  the  greatest  amount  of   consideration   to  Hollywood's
shareholders.   Additionally,   Registrants   believe  these   synergies   would
importantly  contribute to the profitability of Issuer.  Registrants support the
proposed  combination  of  Issuer  and  Hollywood  as most  beneficial  for both
entities  and  their  respective  shareholders.  To this end,  Registrants  have
contacted  the chief  executive  officers  of each of the  entities  to  express
Registrants'  views in this  matter and will  continue to seek to  facilitate  a
combination of Issuer and Hollywood.
 
     Registrants  reserve the right to acquire additional Shares at any time and
from time to time in the open market or otherwise. In addition,  Registrants may
dispose of all or any  portion of the Shares at any time or from time to time in
the open  market or  otherwise.  Registrants  may seek to  participate  in,  and
influence  the  outcome  of any  proxy  solicitation  and  the  bidding  process
involving Issuer and Hollywood, as a bidder or otherwise.

                                   -----------

     On January 5, 2001, Reliance Group Holdings, Inc. ("Reliance") commenced an
action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
against  "Carl  C.  Icahn,   Icahn  Associates  Corp.  and  High  River  Limited
Partnership"  alleging  that High  River's  tender  offer for Reliance 9% senior
notes violated  Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act.  Reliance  sought a temporary
restraining  order and  preliminary and permanent  injunctive  relief to prevent
defendants  from purchasing the notes.  The Court initially  imposed a temporary
restraining  order.  Defendants then supplemented the tender offer  disclosures.
The Court  conducted a hearing on the  disclosures  and other matters  raised by
Reliance.  It then denied  plaintiffs'  motion for a preliminary  injunction and
ordered dissolution of its temporary  restraining order following  dissemination
of the supplement.

     Reliance took an immediate appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Second  Circuit and sought a stay to  restrain  defendants  from  purchasing
notes  during the  pendency of the appeal.  On January  30,  2001,  the Court of
Appeals denied plaintiff's stay application. On January 30, Reliance also sought
a  further  temporary  restraining  order  from the  District  Court.  The Court
considered the matter and reimposed its original  restraint  until noon the next
day, at which time the restraint was dissolved. The appeal was argued on March 9
and denied on March 22, 2001.
