filed on May 14, 1998 (collectively, with all amendments thereto, the "Schedule

Footnote 1 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
1 Of the Shares reported by FCMLLC on behalf of the Managed Accounts,
4,000 Shares (equal to approximately 0.1 % of the total Shares currently
outstanding) are held by the Absolute Return Fund of the Common Fund, a
non-profit corporation whose principal address is 450 Post Road East, Westport,
Connecticut 06881.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the following:
The net investment cost (including commissions) is approximately
$260,512.50 for the 26,200 Shares acquired by FCP since the filing of the prior
Schedule 13D, approximately $132,512.50 for the 13,400 Shares acquired by FCIP
since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, approximately $55,275.00 for the
5,600 Shares acquired by FCIP II since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D,
approximately $18,862.50 for the 1,900 Shares acquired by FCIP III since the
filing of the prior Schedule 13D, approximately $15,787.50 for the 1,600 Shares
acquired by Tinicum since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D and approximately

from borrowings pursuant to margin accounts maintained by some of the Managed
