On June 21, 1999, the Oaktree Fund acquired 42,000 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock for $4.8125 per share. All such purchases were made from the working capital of the Oaktree Fund. ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Paragraphs one through seven of subsection (a) of Item 5 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: As of the date of this Statement, TCW Special Credits Fund III owns 660,036 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 11.0% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. TCW Special Credits Fund IIIb owns 625,988 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 10.4% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. Special Credits, as the sole general partner of the Special Credits Limited Partnerships and as investment manager of the Special Credits Accounts, may be deemed to beneficially own 2,148,576 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 35.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. As of the date of this Statement, TCW Special Credits Trust IIIb owns 447,124 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 7.4% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. TCW, as the trustee of the Special Credits Trusts, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,013,473 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 16.8% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. 13 TAMCO, as the managing general partner of Special Credits, may be deemed to beneficially own the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock held by the Special Credits Limited Partnerships and the Special Credits Accounts, all of which constitutes 2,148,576 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, or approximately 35.7% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. TCWG, as the parent corporation of TCW and TAMCO, may be deemed to beneficially own shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock deemed to be owned by the other TCW Related Entities and the Special Credits Accounts, all of which constitutes 3,162,049 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, or approximately 52.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. TCWG, TCW, TAMCO and Special Credits each disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such entity is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. Bruce A. Karsh, Howard S. Marks, D. Richard Masson and Sheldon M. Stone each disclaims ownership of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of such individuals is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. Mr. Day may be deemed to beneficially own the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock deemed to be owned by the other TCW Related Entities, all of which constitutes 3,162,049 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock (approximately 52.5% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock). Mr. Day disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Day is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. As of the date of this Statement, the Oaktree Fund beneficially owns 1,149,500 shares of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, which is approximately 19.1% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. Oaktree, as the general partner of the Oaktree Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own 1,149,500 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. Certain principals of Oaktree are individual general partners of Special Credits (the "Individual Partners"). The Individual Partners, in their capacity as general partners of Special Credits have been designated to manage the Special Credits, Limited Partnerships, the Special Credits Trusts and the Special Credits Accounts. Although Oaktree provides consulting, research and other investment management support to the Individual Partners, Oaktree does not have voting or dispositive power with respect to the Special Credits Limited Partnerships, the Special Credits Trusts or the Special Credits Accounts. Oaktree therefore disclaims beneficial ownership of the 3,162,049 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, or approximately 52.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, held by the Special Credits Entities and the Special Credits Accounts, and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that Oaktree is the beneficial owner of any securities held by the Special Credits Entities and the Special Credits Accounts. Paragraph five of subsection (b) of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: Oaktree, as the general partner of the Oaktree Fund, has discretionary authority and control over all of the assets of the Oaktree Fund pursuant to the partnership agreement for the Oaktree Fund, including the power to vote and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock held in the name of the Oaktree Fund. Therefore, Oaktree has the power to vote and dispose of 1,149,500 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. 14 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this Amendment No. 2 is true, complete and correct.
