Employees located in California:

On page 12 in the answer to Question 26 (“Will the “Block Trades” Cover All of My Tax Obligations on the New Shares?”) and on page 52 under Section 15 (“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”), the Offer to Exchange contains a typographical error stating incorrectly that the supplemental rate for special wage payments for SDI taxes is .09% on your first $56,916 of wages for 2003. The correct supplemental rate for special wage payments for SDI taxes is .9% on your first $56,916 of wages for 2003.

Employees located in India:

Due to a recent tax law change, the percentage of your New Shares that UBS PaineWebber will sell in the Block Trades if you do not deliver to us a cashier’s check to satisfy your income tax obligation or if your cashier’s check is insufficient will be 33% and not 32% as is currently set forth on page B-12 of the Offer to Exchange.
