Delaware limited partnership (“FCP”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 1201
Elm Street, Dallas, Texas, 75270.
This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that, as a result of a
recent sale of shares of Common Stock, each of the Reporting Persons is no longer the beneficial
owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a) This statement is filed by (i) FCP, as the investment manager to certain private
investment funds, with respect to shares owned by such private investment funds, (ii) Fine Capital
Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FCA”), as the general partner of FCP, and
(iii) Ms. Debra Fine, a principal of FCP and FCA, with respect to the shares owned by such private
investment funds (the persons mentioned in (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to as the “Reporting

(c) FCP provides investment management services to private individuals and institutions. FCA
serves as the general partner of FCP. The principal occupation of Ms. Fine is investment
management. The principal occupation of Mr. Jozwiak is Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of FCP and its affiliates.

in response to this Item 2, has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

The net investment costs (including commissions, if any) of the shares of Class A Common Stock
directly owned by the private investment funds is approximately $7,657,359. Ms. Fine, FCP and FCA
do not directly own any shares of Class A Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the Reporting Persons
is for investment, and the purchase of the shares of the Class A Common Stock by the Reporting
Persons were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for acquiring control of the
Issuer. Depending on price, availability, market conditions and other factors that may affect
their judgment, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares or dispose of any or all of
their shares. The Reporting Persons do not currently intend to acquire the Issuer or to control
the management and policies of the Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of March 6, 2009, Ms. Fine beneficially owns 3,530,000 shares of Class A Common Stock,
which represents 2.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. FCP, FCA and
Ms. Fine direct the voting and disposition of 3,530,000 shares of Class A Common Stock representing
2.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. The percentage of beneficial
ownership of the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D, was calculated by dividing
(i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person as of
March 6, 2009 as set forth in this Schedule 13D, by (ii) the 120,775,084 shares of Class A Common
Stock outstanding as of November 7, 2008, based upon the Issuer’s Report on Form 10-Q filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008.
(b) Ms. Fine and FCP have the power to vote and dispose of all of the shares of Class A Common
Stock held by the private investment funds.
(c) The transactions in the Issuer’s securities by the Reporting Persons in the last sixty
days are listed as Exhibit 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof.
(d) Not Applicable.

five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
