Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

        Item 4(a) is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

        Section 5 of the Offer to Accept LYONs for Exchange for Cash is
hereby amended to delete the reference to "sole discretion" in the
introductory paragraph thereof and to delete the reference to "sole
judgment" in paragraph (b) thereof and to replace each such reference with
the words "reasonable judgment".

Item 8.  Fairness of the Transaction.

        Item 8(a)-(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

        Mr. Perelman is a director of the Company and, as such,
participated in the evaluation by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board") of the fairness of the Exchange Offer to LYON Holders. Mr.
Perelman has not undertaken any independent formal evaluation as to the
fairness of the Exchange Offer apart from such Board participation.
Holdings had no involvement in the evaluation by the Board of the fairness
of the Exchange Offer to LYON Holders and has not undertaken any formal
evaluation as to the fairness of the Exchange Offer. However, Mr. Perelman,
during the course of his participation as a member of the Board, and
Holdings have considered the factors set forth in "SPECIAL FACTORS -
Section 3. Fairness of the Exchange Offer" and based on such factors, Mr.
Perelman and Holdings have each determined that the Exchange Offer is fair
to LYONs Holders. Mr. Perelman and Holdings have adopted the conclusion,
and the analyses underlying such conclusion, of the Board as to the
fairness of the Exchange Offer, based upon their view as to the
reasonableness of such analyses.

        In assessing the fairness of the Exchange Offer, Mr. Perelman and
Holdings considered the factors set forth in "SPECIAL FACTORS - Section 3.
Fairness of the Exchange Offer" collectively and did not assign relative
weights to them in reaching their conclusion and did not consider any one
factor as decisive.

Item 12.  Present Intention and Recommendation of Certain Persons with 
          Regard to the Transaction.

        Item 12(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

        Neither Mr. Perelman nor Holdings makes any recommendation to any
Holder as to whether to surrender LYONs for exchange or refrain from
surrendering LYONs for exchange for cash in the Exchange Offer. Each Holder
must make such Holder's own decision whether to surrender such LYONs for
exchange for cash in the Exchange Offer, and, if so, the principal amount
of LYONs to surrender for exchange.
