CUSIP NO. 533535100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 10 of 12

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------
(a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 14, 2006, there were 25,440,695 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 13, 2006. Based on such
information, after taking into account the transactions described in
Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the
following shares of Common Stock: (i) 180,220 shares of Common Stock held
by Blum L.P. and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which
Blum L.P. serves as the general partner, which represents 0.7% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 826,508 shares of the Common
Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP
which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which
represents 3.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 59,400
shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership
for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.2% of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iv) 6,400 shares of the Common
Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion
Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents less
than 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and 6,400 shares of
the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power
Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which
represents less than 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock
(collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect to which
Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client
has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum L.P., but
neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or
understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other
Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition
or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client
disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other
Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any
shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own
account.
Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by
Blum L.P., Blum GP III and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore
may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be
deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,078,928 shares of
the Common Stock, which is 4.2% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole
general partner of Blum L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the
securities over which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. The filing
of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the
shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing
members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP and Saddlepoint GP, is,
for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are
beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III or
Saddlepoint GP.
