previously reported on Schedule 13G, the last amendment of which was filed on
November 10, 1999. This Statement is being filed to report that, as a result of
an exchange offer by the Issuer to all holders of its outstanding Preferred
Shares to exchange their Preferred Shares for Shares, as more fully set forth in
Item 4 herein, the percentage ownership of Preferred Shares beneficially owned
by the Reporting Person has increased.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement relates to the Shares and Preferred Shares. The address
of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 10 East 40th Street, New
York, New York 10016.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Statement is being filed on behalf of each of the following
persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):
(i) MHR Institutional Partners LP ("Institutional Partners");
(ii) MHRM Partners LP ("MHRM");
(iii) MHR Capital Partners LP ("Capital Partners");
(iv) MHR Institutional Advisors LLC ("Institutional Advisors");
(v) MHR Advisors LLC ("Advisors"); and

investment management.
Each Reporting Person's principal business address is 40 West 57th
Street, 20th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10019.
During the past five years, none of the Reporting Person and, to the
best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, no other person identified in response
to this Item 2 has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding or (b) been a
party to any civil proceeding as a result of which he or it has been subject to
a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The information set forth in Item 4 herein is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Item 3.
The securities held for the accounts of Institutional Partners, MHRM
and Capital Partners may be held through margin accounts maintained with
brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry
positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin
regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms' credit policies. The positions
which may be held in the margin accounts, including the Shares and Preferred
Shares, are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances
in the respective accounts.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information set forth in Item 6 herein is hereby incorporated by
reference into this Item 4.
On November 18, 2002, the Issuer consummated an exchange offer (the
"Exchange Offer") pursuant to which the Issuer offered to issue Shares in
exchange for the outstanding Preferred Shares at an exchange ratio of 1.39
Shares per Preferred Share. Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, 84.6%, or 17.6
million Preferred Shares were tendered for exchange resulting in the issuance of
approximately 24.5 million Shares in exchange for the Preferred Shares tendered.
As a result, the amount of Shares outstanding has increased to approximately
60.8 million Shares and the amount of Preferred Shares has decreased to
approximately 3.2 million.
The Reporting Persons did not exchange any Preferred Shares pursuant
to the Exchange Offer. As a result of the decrease in the outstanding amount of
Preferred Shares, the percentage ownership of the Preferred Shares beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons has materially increased.
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be
acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be
disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed
advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting
Persons, market conditions or other factors.
