amended (the"Act").
Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of Regulation 13D-G of the General Rules and

(b) The business address of each of TBC, TBK, Vanderbilt and the

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNTS OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
As of the date hereof, the number of shares with respect to which TBC may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner is 637,055 shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock (the "TBC Shares"), all of which shares were purchased in open market
transactions. The aggregate cost of the TBC Shares, including brokerage
commissions, was $9,979,383.
The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts, the funds therefor coming
from the funds on hand in each individual managed account and in certain
instances from standard margin account borrowings from brokerage accounts
maintained at Fleet Clearing Corporation. It is expected that funds used by the
TBC Accounts to purchase additional shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, if
additional shares are purchased by the TBC Accounts (see Item 4 hereof), will
come from the funds on hand for each individual managed account, which funds on
hand at any time and from time to time may include, among others, funds borrowed
pursuant to margin accounts maintained at Fleet Clearing Corporation. Borrowings
made by certain TBC Accounts pursuant to such margin accounts are secured by
margin securities owned by the respective accounts, including some of the TBC
Shares. Interest on outstanding borrowings under such margin accounts ranges
from 1/2% to 2% over the brokers' call rate in effect from time to time at
Chemical Bank, New York, New York, depending upon the amount of outstanding
borrowings at any given time.
As of the date hereof, TBK beneficially owns directly 52,460 shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock (the "TBK Shares"), all of which shares were purchased
in open market transactions. (TBK and certain of the general partners in TBK,
who are also general partners of TBC and Vanderbilt may also be deemed to be the
indirect beneficial owners of certain other shares of Non-Voting Common Stock,
as set forth in Item 5 hereof.) The aggregate cost of the TBK Shares, including
brokerage commissions, was $797,498.
<PAGE> 8
It is expected that funds used by TBK to purchase additional shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock, if additional shares are purchased by TBK (see Item 4
hereof), will come from TBK's general funds, which include cash and cash
equivalents on hand and in banks.
TBK's general funds have included, and it is expected that they will from
time to time include, funds borrowed by it pursuant to an understanding with
Chemical Bank. As of the date hereof, TBK has a loan outstanding with Chemical
Bank in the amount of $20,000.00. Borrowings made by TBK pursuant to that
understanding bear interest at the brokers' call rate in effect from time to
time at Chemical Bank. TBK's funds on hand have also included, and it is
expected that they will from time to time include, funds borrowed by it pursuant
to an understanding with The Bank of New York, New York, New York. Pursuant to
that understanding, TBK may borrow funds at the brokers' call rate charged from
time to time by The Bank of New York. As of the date hereof, TBK has a loan
outstanding with The Bank of New York in the amount of $10,000.00. Borrowings
made by TBK pursuant to its understandings with Chemical Bank and The Bank of
New York are secured by securities owned by TBK; such borrowings are not secured
by any TBK Shares. No borrowings from Chemical Bank or The Bank of New York were
made for the purpose of acquiring the TBK Shares. TBK reserves the right to
include all or any of the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock owned by it at any
time or from time to time, among the securities that serve as collateral for
such borrowings, subject to compliance with any applicable statutes and
regulations.
As of the date hereof, Vanderbilt beneficially owns directly 19,000
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock (the "Vanderbilt Shares"), all of which shares
were purchased in open market transactions. (Vanderbilt and certain of the
general partners in Vanderbilt, who are also general partners in TBC and TBK may
also be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owners of certain other shares of
Non-Voting Common Stock, as set forth in Item 5 hereof.) The aggregate cost of
the Vanderbilt Shares, including brokerage commissions, was $327,182.
It is expected that funds used by Vanderbilt to purchase additional
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, if additional shares are purchased by
Vanderbilt (see Item 4 hereof), will come from Vanderbilt's general funds, which
include cash and cash equivalents on hand and in banks.
Vanderbilt's general funds have included, and it is expected that they
will from time to time include, funds borrowed by it pursuant to an
understanding with Chemical Bank. No borrowings from Chemical Bank were made by
Vanderbilt for the purpose of acquiring the Vanderbilt Shares. Vanderbilt
reserves the right to include all or any of the shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock owned by it at any time or from time to time, among the securities that
serve as collateral for such borrowings, subject to compliance with any
applicable statutes and regulations.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt has acquired the shares of Non-Voting
Common Stock owned by it for investment purposes and for none of the reasons
enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except that TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt may
dispose of all or some of the TBC Shares, the TBK Shares and the Vanderbilt
Shares, respectively, or may acquire additional shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock from time to time, depending upon price and market conditions, evaluation
of alternative investments, and other factors. Currently, TBC, TBK and
Vanderbilt intend to acquire additional shares of Non-Voting Common Stock in the
open market, depending upon the price of the Non-Voting Common Stock from time
to time.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

owner of an aggregate of 637,055 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, which
constitutes approximately 8.56% of the 7,444,396 shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock which TBC believes to be the total number of shares of Non-Voting Common
Stock outstanding. The TBC Shares are held in the TBC Accounts.
<PAGE> 9
Also included in the TBC Shares are 200 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock
held in a TBC Account for a charitable foundation, of which Christopher H.
Browne is a trustee. Mr. Browne is a general partner in TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt.

shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 0.26% of the
7,444,396 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock which Vanderbilt believes to be the
total number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding.
Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims that it is the beneficial owner
of any of the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held in the TBC Accounts. The

owner by reason of his being a general partner of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt,
respectively, is 708,515 shares, which constitutes approximately 9.52% of the
7,444,396 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding. The aggregate number of
shares and percentage of Non-Voting Common Stock with respect to which Thomas P.
Knapp may be deemed to be a beneficial owner by reason of his being a general
partner of TBK is 52,460 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock which constitutes
approximately 0.70% of the 7,444,396 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock
outstanding. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed as an
admission that any of the General Partners or Thomas P. Knapp is the beneficial
owner of any shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, except as set forth herein as
expressly and admittedly being beneficially owned by a particular General
Partner or Thomas P. Knapp.
Each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt disclaims beneficial ownership of
Non-Voting Common Stock held by the other. Except as described herein, to the
best knowledge of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt, no person who may be deemed to
