Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration


Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction


Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b)
By virtue of the Purchase Agreement and the relationships among the Reporting Persons described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share beneficial ownership with respect to the Series C Shares reported herein. As of January 1, 2004, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 45,203,542 ( 43.9%) of the 103,002,119 outstanding Shares of the Issuer (assuming conversion of the Series C Shares and exercise of options held by David V. Harkins, C. Hunter Boll, Thomas M. Hagerty and Thomas H. Lee). Except to the extent of a pecuniary interest therein, each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims the existence of such beneficial ownership, except: (1) Advisors does not disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by Equity Fund, Foreign Fund or Foreign Fund B, (2) Management Corp. does not disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by THL-CCI, and (3) Thomas H. Lee does not disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by the 1997 Thomas H. Lee Nominee Trust. The terms of the Series C Shares limit the number of Shares into which the Series C Shares of any person or group can convert so that the Shares issued upon conversion will not cause a change of control to occur as defined in the indentures for the Company’s 10% Senior Notes due 2004 and 10 1/8% Senior Notes due 2006, with the balance of beneficial interest to be issued in non-voting common stock equivalents of the Issuer. The number of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons listed in this report equals the maximum number of Shares into which the Series C Shares can be voluntarily converted during 2003. If voluntarily converted, the actual number of Shares issued may be less than the numbers reported herein in accordance with the limitation described above.
The Reporting Persons other than Equity Fund and Foreign Fund acquired their Series C Shares as a co-investment required by the terms of the partnership agreements of Equity Fund and Foreign Fund. Such agreements require that the Reporting Persons hold and sell their Series C Shares and Shares on a pro rata basis. By virtue of the Purchase Agreement and the relationships among the Reporting Persons described herein, the Reporting Persons may constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by the members of the group as a whole. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares held by any other members of such group.

Equity Fund has obtained direct beneficial ownership of 38,141,967 Shares, representing approximately 37.0% of the outstanding shares. Equity Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

Foreign Fund has obtained direct beneficial ownership of 1,319,034 Shares, representing approximately 1.3% of the outstanding shares. Foreign Fund may be deemed to share with Advisors voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

Foreign Fund B has obtained direct beneficial ownership of 3,712,908 Shares, representing approximately 3.6% of the outstanding shares. Foreign Fund B may be deemed to share with Advisors voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

Advisors, as sole general partner of Equity Fund, Foreign Fund and Foreign Fund B, may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to 43,173,909 Shares beneficially owned by Equity Fund, Foreign Fund and Foreign Fund B, which represents approximately 41.9% of the outstanding shares. The filing of this Schedule 13D by Advisors shall not be construed as an admission that Advisors is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of Shares held by Equity Fund, Foreign Fund and Foreign Fund B.

THL-CCI has obtained direct beneficial ownership of 11,101 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the outstanding shares. THL-CCI may be deemed to share with Management Corp. voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

Management Corp., as sole general partner of THL-CCI, may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to 11,101 Shares beneficially owned by THL-CCI, which represents less than 0.1% of the outstanding shares. The filing of this Schedule 13D by Management Corp. shall not be construed as an admission that Management Corp. is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of Shares held by THL-CCI.

Charitable Investment has obtained direct beneficial ownership of 284,167 Shares, representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding shares. Charitable Investment may be deemed to share with its General Partner voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

Thomas H. Lee, as General Director of Advisors, Chief Executive Officer and sole shareholder of Management Corp., General Partner of Charitable Investment, and grantor of the 1997 Thomas H. Lee Nominee Trust, may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to 44,090,103 Shares beneficially owned by such entities, which represents approximately 42.8% of the outstanding shares. The filing of this Schedule 13D by Thomas H. Lee shall not be construed as an admission that Thomas H. Lee is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of Shares held by such entities.

Each of the Affiliate Purchasers has obtained beneficial ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding shares. Each of the Affiliate Purchasers has sole voting and sole dispositive power with respect to such Shares beneficially owned by it, except for The 1995 Harkins Gift Trust and Charles W. Robins as Trustee for Jesse Albert Lee. David V. Harkins may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over Shares held by The 1995 Harkins Gift Trust. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Harkins is, for the purpose of

Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of such Shares. Charles W. Robins may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over Shares held by him as Trustee for Jesse Albert Lee. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Robins is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of such Shares.
(c)	The responses to Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein.
(d)	Not applicable.
