material changes in the capitalization or dividend policy of the Company.

ITEM 6.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

         Item 6(a) is hereby amended and supplemented to incorporate herein by

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, the Purchaser shall not be
required to accept for payment or pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the
Offer, and may terminate or amend the Offer and may postpone the acceptance for
payment of and payment for Shares tendered, if certain enumerated conditions
("Conditions to the Offer") have not been satisfied. TSI hereby amends and

however, the Purchaser may not accept the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer,
but delay payment until the Conditions to the Offer are satisfied, except such
delays as are in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the interpretations of such Rule by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Rule 14e-1(c) requires that the Purchaser pay the
consideration offered or return the Shares deposited by or on behalf of holders
of Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.



         After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify
that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
