The timing of distributions by SCP II and SCP III to their respective general partners in respect of this 20% "carried interest" depends on a number of circumstances.

(1)

The information incorporated by reference into Item 8 of the Schedule TO is amended by the following amendment to Offer to Purchase:

SPECIAL FACTORS—Certain Effects of the Offer and the Merger

        The table and footnotes immediately following the ninth paragraph of this section are hereby amended and replaced with the following:

---

(1)

Based upon beneficial ownership as of March 31, 2007, excluding any options (whether or not exercisable), and Laureate's net book value at March 31, 2007 and net income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007.



(2)

Based upon the current equity commitments (see "The Tender Offer—Section 9. Source and Amount of Funds") and Laureate's net book value at March 31, 2007 and net income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, and without giving effect to any additional indebtedness to be incurred in connection with the Offer and the Merger. These amounts do not include any value with respect to any interest in the net book value or net earnings of Laureate, immediately following the Merger, that may be represented by the incentive profits interests, deal profits interests or carried interests to be received by certain of the Sterling Founders and their affiliates (as described under "—Interests of the Company's Directors and Officers in the Offer and the Merger") because these interests merely represent a right to participate in the future profits of Laureate and, as such, have no readily ascertainable value as of the date hereof. They also do not reflect any post-merger ownership of options or other equity in the surviving corporation that may be held by other members of the Company's management.
