OWNERSHIP
The following information with respect to the Plan's ownership
of Common Stock is provided as of December 31, 1997. None of the shares set
forth below constitute shares the beneficial ownership of which the Plan had the
right to acquire within 60 days following such date.

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, 1997. As of December 31, 1997, 44,352 of such shares of Common
Stock had been allocated to individual accounts established for participating
employees and their beneficiaries, and 399,170 of such 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 Committee and
the Plan Trustee, has shared voting power over unallocated Common Stock. Any
unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be directed by the Committee
to be voted
- ------------------------
(1) 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 be voted in proportion to the directions
received, in the same manner as the unallocated shares are voted, and the
Committee would be deemed to have voting power over such shares.

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 Committee and the Plan Trustee, has shared dispositive power over all
unallocated Common Stock held by the reporting person. The reporting person,
acting through the Committee and 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 have no
dispositive power. Any unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be
directed by the Committee 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
Committee and 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.
ITEM 5
Not applicable
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 Company, either (i) credited to the respective individual accounts, (ii)
distributed immediately to the participating employees and their beneficiaries,
(iii) distributed to the participating employees and their beneficiaries within
90 days of the close of the ESOP Year in which such dividends were paid, or (iv)
used to pay principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness incurred by the
reporting person to acquire Common Stock.
