follows:

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
        ----------------------

     In late August, the Manager informed the Company that the Manager was
contemplating acquiring additional Shares for investment purposes, and in
connection with such purchase or purchases, entered into a letter agreement
with the Company described below in Item 6. The Reporting Persons expect
such purchases, if made in open market transactions, will be made in
compliance with Rule 10b-18. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time,
determine to make the contemplated purchases of Shares, but have no
commitment to do so. In addition, the Reporting Persons may determine to
sell all or a portion of their Shares. Any such determination to buy or
sell would depend upon prevailing market conditions and other factors.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
        ------------------------------------

(a)  This statement on Schedule 13D relates to 6,420,052 Shares which may
     be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and which
     constitute approximately 29.8% of the issued and outstanding Shares.
     In each of March 1999 and June 2000, Mr. Tepper and Mr. James
     Bolin, Vice President of Appaloosa Partners Inc., the general
     partner of the Manager, in consideration for their services as
     directors of the Company, were granted under the Company's
     Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan an option to purchase
     5,000 Shares.  Messrs. Tepper and Bolin immediately assigned all
     of their right, title and interest in such options to the Partnership,
     Palomino and Tersk.

(b)  The Manager may be deemed to have the sole voting and dispositive
     power with respect to 6,420,052 Shares. Mr. Tepper may be deemed to
     have sole voting power and dispositive power with respect to
     6,420,052 Shares.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
        Respect to Securities of the Issuer
        -------------------------------------------------------------

     On September 7, 2000, the Company and the Manager, for itself and on
behalf of its affiliates and associates, entered into a Letter Agreement (a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference
herein), whereby the Company

     (a) granted consent under its security trading policy to the
contemplated purchases and agreed that the purchases are in compliance
with that policy until such time as the Company notifies the Reporting
Persons that the Company's consent is suspended or revoked;

     (b) acknowledged and agreed that the Reporting Persons may acquire
up to an additional 298,114 Shares without the Reporting Persons being
deemed an "Acquiring Person" under the Company's rights plan;

     (c) acknowledged that as of the date of the Letter Agreement, the
Company was not aware of any material, non-public information pertaining
to the Company that had been communicated by executive officers of the
Company to the Manager's representatives who serve on the board of directors
of the Company; and

     (d) agreed to cooperate and assist the Manager in making the purchases
in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
