This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G amends the Schedule 13G initially filed on March 26, 2004 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13G").
Preliminary Note: Effective as of January 1, 2005, each of Noonday G.P. (U.S.), L.L.C. (the "First Noonday Sub-adviser") and Noonday Asset Management, L.P. (the "Second Noonday Sub-adviser") has entered into an investment subadvisory agreement with the General Partner and the Management Company. Each of the First Noonday Sub-adviser and the Second Noonday Sub-adviser, as a sub-investment adviser to the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts. As the general partner of the Second Noonday Sub-adviser, Noonday Capital, L.L.C. (the "Noonday General Partner") may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts. David I. Cohen ("Cohen"), as the managing member of the First Noonday Sub-adviser and the Noonday General Partner, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts. Cohen resigned as a managing member of the Management Company and the General Partner effective December 31, 2004. This amendment to the Schedule 13G reports (i) that the First Noonday Sub-adviser, the Second Noonday Sub-adviser and the Noonday General Partner may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein and (ii) that Cohen's deemed beneficial ownership of such Shares is now attributable to his position as a managing member of the First Noonday Sub-adviser and the Noonday General Partner, and not as a managing member of the Management Company and the General Partner.
