         The securities of the Company which are the subject of this Amendment
No. 2 to Schedule 13D were acquired by the Filing Persons pursuant to (i) the
notice of conversion of shares of the Company's Series B Common Stock (the
"Conversion"), sent to the Company on June 9, 1998 by Capital, whereby Capital
exercised its right to convert 14,276,361 shares of Series B Common Stock into a
like number of shares of Series A Common Stock (the "Converted Shares") and (ii)
the distribution of the Converted Shares to the partners of Partners and
Partners II upon dissolution of both partnerships. None of the securities are
securities for any borrowing.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         The acquisition of the securities which are the subject of this
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D was accomplished through Capital's request to
exercise its right to convert the Company's Series B Common Stock into Series A
common Stock.

         In response to (a) of this Item 4, this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
is being filed in connection with the Conversion, which occurred on June 9,
1998, and the proposed dissolution of Partners and Partners II. (together, the
"Conversion and Proposed Dissolution"). Upon the proposed dissolution, the
Converted Shares will be distributed to the partners of Partners and Partners
II, among whom are the Filing Persons (except for Partners and Partners II).

         Except as described in this Schedule, no Filing Person has any plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in:

         (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

         (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or
of any of its subsidiaries;

         (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the
Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number of terms of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; except that, pursuant
to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, upon the conversion of Series B
Common into Series A Common, the number of directors of the Company is reduced
from a maximum of nine to a maximum of six;

         (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Company;

         (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate
structure;



                                   Page 17 of 23

<PAGE>



         (g) changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or any other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Company by any person;

         (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

         (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

         (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

         Each of the Filing Persons intends to continually review the Company's
business affairs and financial position, as well as conditions in the securities
markets and general economic and industry conditions. Based on such evaluation
and review, each of the Filing Persons will continue to consider various
alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with
respect to the Company as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances
existing from time to time. Such actions may include, but are not limited to,
purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, or debt securities of the Company,
either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or selling
its shares of Series B Common, either in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. The foregoing actions, to the extent possible, may be
taken by each of the Filing Persons along or with other persons.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Company.

         (a) The percentages of outstanding Common Stock reported in this Item
5(a) are calculated for each Filing Person using a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Series B Common held by that Filing Person, and
the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, assumed to be made up to 34,792,732 shares of Series A Common (including
the 14,276,361 shares issued pursuant to the Conversion), plus the number of
shares of Series B Common held by that Filing Person, which is the number of
shares reported by the Company in its Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of
Stockholders held on May 14, 1998.

         As of the date of execution hereof, Capital was the direct owner of
1,836,109 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 5% of the
outstanding Common Stock.

         As of the date of execution hereof, Group was the direct owner of
71,965 shares of Common Stock. Under the Beneficial Ownership Definition, Group
may be deemed to own beneficially the shares of Common Stock owned directly by
Capital. Accordingly,


                                   Page 18 of 23

<PAGE>



Group is the beneficial owner of 1,836,109 shares of Common Stock, which
represents approximately 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.

         As of the date of execution hereof, Partners was dissolved and
therefore the direct owner of 0 shares of Common Stock and under the Beneficial
Ownership Definition may be deemed to own beneficially 0 shares of Common Stock,
which represents 0% of the outstanding Common Stock.

         As of the date of execution hereof, Partners II was dissolved and
therefore the direct owner of 0 shares of Common Stock and under the Beneficial
Ownership Definition may be deemed to own beneficially 0 shares of Common Stock,
which represents 0% of the outstanding Common Stock.

         As of the date of execution hereof, the Converted Shares were
distributed to the partners of Partners and Partners II. Therefore, each of the
Managing General Partners and the Managing General Partners II, respectively,
was the direct owner of shares of Common Stock as follows: Don L. Gevirtz -
4,270 shares; John F. Nickoll - 23,324 shares; Dennis R. Ascher - 11,676 shares;
Jeffrey T. Nikora - 16,076; Karen S. Sandler - 10,253; M. Edward Stearns -
2,229; Peter E. Schwab - 1,486; David C. Hilton - 1,486. Under the Beneficial
Ownership Definition, each of the Managing General Partners who is a general
partner of Partners is deemed to own beneficially the shares of Common Stock
owned by Partners and each of the Managing General Partners II who is a general
partner of Partners II is deemed to own beneficially the Shares of Common Stock
owned by Partners II. As of the date of execution hereof, both Partners and
Partners II have been dissolved. Accordingly, each of the Managing General
Partners was the beneficial owner of 0 shares of Common Stock, which represents
0% of the outstanding Common Stock, and each of the Managing Partners II was the
beneficial owner of 0 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0% of the
outstanding Common Stock. Those persons who are both Managing General Partners
and Managing General Partners II (Messrs. Gevirtz, Nickoll, Ascher and Nikora)
are deemed to be the beneficial owner of both Partners and Partners II and thus
beneficially own an aggregate of 0 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0%
of the outstanding Common Stock.

         (b) Group, as the parent corporation of Capital may be deemed to have
shared voting and dispositive power with Capital, with respect to the 1,836,109
shares of Common Stock directly owned by Capital.

         (c) The Filing Persons acquired the securities which are the subject of
this report on June 8, 1998 pursuant to the Conversion as described in Item 4.
This Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13D is being filed in connection with that
transaction.
