        This Amendment No. 6 amends and restates, pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a), the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") of The TCW Group, Inc. ("TCWG"), Trust Company of the West ("TCW"), TCW Asset Management Company ("TAMCO"), TCW Special Credits ("Special Credits"), TCW Special Credits Fund III, TCW Special Credits Fund IIIb, TCW Special Credits Trust IIIb, TCW Special Credits Trust, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC ("Oaktree") and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P.

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

        This Statement is filed on behalf of:

        1.    The TCW Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("TCWG");

        2.    Trust Company of the West, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TCWG ("TCW");

        3.    TCW Asset Management Company, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TCWG ("TAMCO");

        4.    TCW Special Credits, a California general partnership of which TAMCO is the managing general partner ("Special Credits");

        5.    Three California limited partnerships, TCW Special Credits Fund IIIb, TCW Special Credits Fund IV and TCW Special Credits Plus Fund, of which Special Credits is the general partner;

        6.    Two California collective investment trusts, TCW Special Credits Trust IV and TCW Special Credits Trust IIIb, of which TCW is the trustee;

        7.    Weyerhaeuser Company Master Retirement Trust ("Weyerhaeuser MRT"), a third party account of which Special Credits is the investment manager;

        8.    Oaktree Capital Management, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Oaktree"); and

        9.    OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership of which Oaktree is the general partner (the "Oaktree Fund")

        Special Credits also is the general partner of one other limited California partnership which holds shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (together with TCW Special Credits Fund IIIb, TCW Special Credits Fund IV and TCW Special Credits Plus Fund, the "Special Credits Limited Partnerships"). TCW also is the trustee of two other collective investment trusts which hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock(together with TCW Special Credits Trust IV and TCW Special Credits Trust IIIb, the "Special Credits Trusts"). Special Credits, the Special Credits Limited Partnerships and the Special Credits Trusts hereinafter are collectively referred to as the "Special Credits Entities." Special Credits also is the investment manager of two other third party accounts which invest in similar securities as the Special Credit Entities and hold shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (together with Weyerhaeuser MRT, the "Special Credits Accounts"). TCWG, TCW, TAMCO and the Special Credits Entities hereinafter are collectively referred to as the "TCW Related Entities."

        TCWG is a holding company of entities involved in the principal business of providing investment advice and management services. TCW is a trust company which provides investment management services, including to the Special Credits Trusts. TAMCO is an investment adviser and provides investment advice and management services to institutional and individual investors. Special Credits provides investment advice and management services to the Special Credits Limited Partnerships and

14


the Special Credits Accounts. The Special Credits Limited Partnerships are investment partnerships which invest in financially distressed entities. The Special Credits Trusts are collective investment trusts which invest in financially distressed entities. The address of the principal business and principal office for the TCW Related Entities is 865 South Figueroa Street, Suite 1800, Los Angeles, California 90017.

        On July 6, 2001, Societe Generale, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France ("SG"), acquired approximately 51% of the equity securities and 80% of the voting rights of TCWG pursuant to an Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization, dated as of April 11, 2001, among TCWG, SG, Societe Generale Asset Management, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France, Marc I. Stern as the Stockholders' Representative, the holders of common stock, par value US$1.00 per share, of TCWG party thereto, and the holders of phantom stock of TCWG party thereto.

        With the exception of Oaktree and the Oaktree Fund, the Reporting Persons together with TCWG's other direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively constitute The TCW Group, Inc. business unit (the "TCW Business Unit"). The TCW Business Unit is primarily engaged in the provision of investment management services. As of July 6, 2001, the ultimate parent company of TCWG is SG. The principal business of SG is acting as a holding company for a global financial services group, which includes certain distinct specialized business units that are independently operated, including the TCW Business Unit.

        SG, for purposes of the federal securities laws, may be deemed ultimately to control TCWG and the TCW Business Unit. SG, its executive officers and directors, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all of its business units except the TCW Business Unit), may beneficially own shares of the securities of the Issuer to which this schedule relates (the "Shares") and such Shares are not reported in this statement. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), and due to the separate management and independent operation of its business units, SG disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by the TCW Business Unit. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by SG and any of SG's other business units.

        The principal business of Oaktree is to provide investment advice and management services to institutional and individual investors. The Oaktree Fund is an investment partnership which invests in entities over which there is a potential for the Oaktree Fund to exercise significant influence. The address of the principal business and principal office for Oaktree and the Oaktree Fund is 333 South Grand Avenue, 28th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071.

20

        TAMCO, as managing general partner of Special Credits also has the power to vote and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock held by Special Credits referenced above. Therefore, TAMCO has the power to vote and dispose of 1,648,295 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

Therefore, Oaktree has the power to vote and dispose of 1,890,441 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

        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

22

        (e)  See Item 2.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Kaplan and James Lind were entitled to receive equity compensation for their services to the Issuer. Each such individual has forfeited all such equity compensation to the Issuer and the Issuer has issued an aggregate of 79,684 shares of Common Stock to the Oaktree Fund which represents the equity compensation that the Oaktree employees would have received for their services as directors of the Issuer.

        Except to the extent the securities referred to in this Statement constitute assets of the Special Credits Entities, Oaktree or the Oaktree Fund, there are no contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among or between any member of the TCW Related Entities, Oaktree, the Oaktree Fund or, to the best of their knowledge, their respective executive officers, directors or general partners or between or among any of such persons and with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
