* All percentage ownership reported in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G is based on 1,183,886 depositary receipts (“Depositary Receipts”) outstanding as of March 16, 2005 and 19,989 units of Class A limited partnership interests (“Class A Units”) outstanding as of March 16, 2005, as reported by the Issuer (as defined below) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”). For purposes of calculating percentage ownership in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G, all Depositary Receipts have been treated on an as-converted basis, where, according to the Form 10-K, each Class A Unit is exchangeable for 10 Depositary Receipts. This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G is being filed in part to correct errors in the percentage ownership calculations in Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed on February 14, 2005 and the Schedule 13G filed on December 13, 2004; it was subsequently determined that those calculations were made based on the total number of limited partnership interests outstanding rather than on the as-converted Depositary Receipts and Class A Units outstanding.
