This Amendment No. 6, filed by WHSHC, L.L.C. ("WHSHC LLC"), W9/WHSHC,
L.L.C. I ("W9 LLC"), Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership VII
("Whitehall Real Estate VII"), Whitehall Street Real Estate Limited Partnership
IX ("Whitehall Real Estate IX"), WH Advisors, L.L.C. VII ("WH Advisors VII"), WH
Advisors, L.L.C. IX ("WH Advisors IX"), Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs")
and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group", together with WHSHC LLC, W9 LLC,
Whitehall Real Estate VII, Whitehall Real Estate IX, WH Advisors VII, WH
Advisors IX and Goldman Sachs, the "Reporting Persons")[1] amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on July 9, 2004 and
amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on October 1, 2004, Amendment No. 2 thereto
on March 23, 2005, Amendment No. 3 thereto on April 11, 2005, Amendment No. 4
thereto on July 5, 2005, and Amendment No. 5 thereto on January 26, 2006.
Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS
Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:
WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Stock
for investment purposes. If any, the shares of Common Stock which may be
deemed to be held by Goldman Sachs, other than shares which may be deemed
beneficially owned through WH Advisors VII and WH Advisor IX, were acquired
in the ordinary course of business of Goldman Sachs.
As of the date of this statement, none of the Reporting Persons, or
to the knowledge and belief of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons
listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto, has any present plan or proposals
which would relate to or would result in any transaction event or action
enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, other than:
On April 7, 2005, WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC entered into a Shareholders
Agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement") with the Company providing
for, among other matters, the right of WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC to nominate
one person as a director to the Company's Board of Directors so long as
the Shareholders maintain aggregate ownership of 10%. A copy of the
Shareholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 16. Until January
30, 2006, Jonathan A. Langer, a Managing Director of Goldman, Sachs &
Co., where he is the Head of US Acquisitions for the Real Estate
Principal Investment Area, was a member of the Company's Board of
Directors. Effective January 30, 2006, Mr. Langer resigned from the
Company's Board of Directors.
----------
[1] Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed
as an admission that WHSHC LLC, W9 LLC, Whitehall Real Estate VII,
Whitehall Real Estate IX, WH Advisors VII, WH Advisors IX, Goldman Sachs or
GS Group constitute a "person" for any purpose other than Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that WHSHC LLC, W9 LLC,
Whitehall Real Estate VII, Whitehall Real Estate IX, WH Advisors VII, WH
Advisors IX, Goldman Sachs or GS Group constitute a "group" for any
purpose.
On January 24, 2006, WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC entered into an Underwriting
Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with the Company, SHC Funding,
the other selling stockholders named therein and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives
of the underwriters. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, on January
30, 2006, WHSHC LLC sold 3,067,810 of its shares of Common Stock to the
underwriters named therein at a per share price of $19.05 per share
(for aggregate proceeds of approximately $58.4 million) and W9 LLC sold
2,867,642 of its shares of Common Stock to the underwriters named
therein at a per share price of $19.05 per share (for aggregate
proceeds of approximately $54.6 million). In addition WHSHC LLC and W9
LLC have each granted the underwriters an option, exercisable until
February 23, 2006, to purchase 642,302 and 600,393, respectively,
additional shares of Common Stock at the same per share price of $19.05
(for aggregate proceeds of approximately $12.2 million and
approximately $11.4 million, respectively). On January 30, 2006, the
underwriters exercised that option for all 1,242,695 shares of Common
Stock and requested a closing for February 2, 2006.
If all of the transactions pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement
(including the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
Underwriters' option) are completed, then WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC will no
longer own any shares of Common Stock.
If WHSHC LLC and W9 LLC do not dispose of all of their shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, each of the Reporting
Persons expects to continue to evaluate on an ongoing basis the market price of
the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally, general
economic and industry conditions and other factors. Accordingly, each
Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any
time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, any one of or more of the
Reporting Persons (and their respective affiliates) may purchase additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or may sell or
transfer shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them from time to time
in public or private transactions and/or may enter into privately negotiated
derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market
risk of some or all of their positions in the shares of Common Stock or other
securities and/or may cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind
to their respective partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Common
Stock or other securities. Any such transactions may be effected at any time
or from time to time subject to any applicable limitations imposed on the
sale of any of their Company securities by the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities
Act") or other applicable law. To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each
of the persons listed in Schedules I, II or III hereto may make similar
evaluations from time to time or an ongoing basis and reserves the same rights.

As of January 30, 2006, WHSHC LLC beneficially owned an aggregate of
642,302 shares of Common Stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 1.1%
of the outstanding Common Stock. For all purposes hereof, beneficial ownership

WH Advisors VII and WH Advisors IX as described above, such shares representing
in the aggregate approximately 2.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting
Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto,
beneficially owned any shares of Common Stock as of January 30, 2006, other
than as set forth herein.
In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), this filing reflects the securities
beneficially owned by the investment banking division ("IBD") of GS Group and
its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "GSG"). This filing does not
reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by any other operating unit of
GSG. IBD disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by
(i) any client accounts with respect to which IBD or its employees have voting
or investment discretion, or both and (ii) certain investment entities, of which
IBD is the general partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the
extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than IBD.
(b) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D
set forth (i) the number of shares of Common Stock as to which there is sole
power to vote or direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition and
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock as to which there is shared power to
vote or direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition. Each Reporting
Person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held
by any other Reporting Person.
(c) Except with respect to the sale of shares of Common Stock by WHSHC
LLC and W9 LLC as described under Item 4 herein, no transactions in the Common
Stock were effected by the Reporting Persons, or, to the knowledge of any of the
Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto
subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by the
Reporting Persons on January 26, 2006.
(d) No other person is known by any Reporting Person to have the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any Reporting
Person.
(e) On January 30, 2006, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the
beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock.
