      This  Amendment  No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the  Schedule 13D  initially
filed on December  10, 1998  (collectively,  with all  amendments  thereto,  the
"Schedule 13D") and is being filed to reflect that the Reporting  Persons are no
longer holders of 5% or more of the Shares. 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

      The third to last  paragraph  of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

      "Subject  to an  ongoing  evaluation  of the  investment  in  the  Shares,
prevailing  market  conditions,   other  investment   opportunities,   liquidity
requirements of the Reporting  Persons and/or other  investment  considerations,
the Reporting Persons ultimately intend to sell, over a longer period (which has
not  yet  been  determined)  some  or all of the  Shares  reported  herein.  The
Reporting  Persons have not made a determination  regarding a maximum or minimum
number of Shares which they may hold at any point in time." 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  cover page and of each other  cover  page  filed  herewith  is
