This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D initially
filed on December 29, 1997 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the
"Schedule 13D").
Item 2. Identity and Background.
The footnote to Item 2 is amended and restated as follows:
1 Of the Units reported by FCMLLC on behalf of the Managed Accounts,
45,000 Units (equal to approximately 0.7% of the total Units currently
outstanding) are held by The Absolute Return Fund of The Common Fund, a
non-profit corporation whose principal address is 450 Post Road East, Westport,
Connecticut, 06881.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the following:
The net investment cost (including commissions) is $555,912 for the 37,700
Units (and corresponding Shares) acquired by FCP since the filing of the prior
Schedule 13D, $429,686 for the 29,100 Units (and corresponding Shares) acquired
by FCIP since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $108,599 for the 7,300 Units
(and corresponding Shares) acquired by FCIP II since the filing of the prior
Schedule 13D, $60,721 for the 4,100 Units (and corresponding Shares) acquired by
FCIP III since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $28,186 for the 1,900 Units
(and corresponding Shares) acquired by Tinicum since the filing of the prior
Schedule 13D and $1,144,516 for the 77,700 Units (and corresponding Shares)
acquired by the Managed Accounts since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D. (2)
The consideration for such acquisitions was obtained as follows: (i) with
respect to FCIP, FCIP II and FCIP III, from working capital; (ii) with respect
to the Managed Accounts, from the working capital of each Managed Account and/or
from borrowings pursuant to margin accounts maintained by some of the Managed
Accounts at Goldman Sachs & Co.; and (iii) with respect to
- ------------
2. As the Shares currently trade as part of the Units, the reported cost is a
per Unit cost. For purposes of the Schedule 13D, the net investment cost
attributes all of the Unit cost to the related Share.

debit balances. It is not possible to determine the amount of borrowings, if
any, used to acquire the Units (and corresponding Shares).
