         This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed to correct certain
clerical errors contained in Annex A to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D
("Amendment No. 1") filed on September 9, 2002 jointly by Berkshire Fund V,
Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership, Berkshire Fund VI,
Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership and Berkshire Investors
LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (collectively, the "Reporting
Persons"). In Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons inadvertently listed the
settlement dates rather than the trade dates as the "Date of Transaction" for
their open market purchases of the Issuer's common stock. The revised Annex A
attached hereto correctly lists the applicable trade dates as the "Date of
Transaction" for such purchases. Unless otherwise set forth below, all
previously reported Items are unchanged.

                                   SIGNATURES

           After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and
correct.
