                  -------------                
The reporting person is an employee stock ownership plan under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") with
individual accounts for the accrued benefits of participating employees
and their beneficiaries.  The reporting person is administered by an ESOP
Committee ("ESOP Committee") and its assets are held in trust by a trustee
("Plan Trustee").  The number of shares listed as beneficially owned
represents the entire number of shares of Common Stock held by Marine
Midland Bank, as Plan Trustee, as of December 31, 1998.  As of December
31, 1998, 233,843 shares of Common Stock were allocated to individual
accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries,
and 3,204,657 shares were held, unallocated, for allocation in future
years.  In general, participating employees and their beneficiaries have
the power and authority to direct the voting of shares of Common Stock
allocated to their individual accounts.  Such allocated shares are,
therefore, not included as shares over which the reporting person has sole
or shared voting power.  The reporting person, through the Plan Trustee,
has shared voting power over unallocated Common Stock.  Any unallocated
Common Stock is generally required to be voted by the Plan Trustee in the
same proportion as Common Stock which has been allocated to Participants
is directed to be voted.  The reporting person, through the Plan Trustee,
shares dispositive power over all unallocated Common Stock held by the
reporting person.  The reporting person, acting through the Plan Trustee,
shares dispositive power over allocated Common Stock with participating
employees and their beneficiaries, who have the right to determine whether
Common Stock allocated to their respective accounts will be tendered in
response to a tender offer but otherwise has no dispositive power.  Any
unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be tendered by the Plan
Trustee in a tender offer in the same proportion as Common Stock which has
been allocated to Participants is directed to be tendered.  In limited
circumstances, ERISA may confer upon the Plan Trustee the power and duty
to control the voting and tendering of Common Stock allocated to the
accounts of participating employees and beneficiaries who fail to exercise
their voting and/or tender rights.  The reporting person disclaims voting
power with respect to such allocated Common Stock.


- --------------------

* This number reflects the unallocated shares held in the ESOP. All allocated 
  ESOP shares have pass-through voting. In the event that a participant does 
  not direct his/her vote, those shares would not be voted, unless the 
  Trustee determines that compliance with applicable law, compliance with its
  fiduciary duties or compliance with the Plans Sponsor's Voting Policy 
  requires the Trustee to vote such shares.

Item 5.   Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.
                                
          Not applicable since the reporting entity owns more than 5% of the
          class.
                                
Item 6.   Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.
                                
          Dividends on Common Stock allocated to the accounts of participating
          employees and their beneficiaries, to the extent paid in the form
          of additional securities, are added to their respective individual
          accounts.  Dividends on Common Stock allocated to the accounts of
          participating employees and their beneficiaries, to the extent paid
          in cash, are, at the direction of the Plan Administrator, either (i)
          credited to the respective individual accounts, or (ii) used to pay
          principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness incurred by the
          reporting person to acquire Common Stock.

          group.
                                
Item 9.   Notice of Dissolution of Group.
