     The information previously furnished in response to this item is amended 
to add the following:

       I.  SECOND RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT

     The following summary and description of the transactions contemplated 
by the Second Restructure Agreement dated as of December 29, 1995 between 
Joint Energy Development Investments Limited Partnership and the Company (the 
"SECOND JEDI RESTRUCTURE AGREEMENT") and certain other documents referred to

attached hereto as Exhibit 6:

exchange of (A) approximately $22.4 million principal amount of indebtedness

<PAGE>

assigned to the Company the Tranche B Warrants and the rights of JEDI under 
the JEDI/Purchaser Option and the Company assumed the obligations of JEDI 
under the JEDI/Purchaser Option. As a result of such assignment and 
assumption, TAC has the right to purchase from the Company in one or more 
transactions from time to time not later than July 27, 1998 the Tranche B 
Warrant Shares at a price per Tranche B Warrant Share that is equal to the 
lesser of (1) $10.00 as increased at the rate of 18% per annum from July 27, 
1995 to the date of the acquisition and (2) $15.50, in each case as such 
price per share may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the JEDI/Purchaser 
Option.

     C.   On January 24, 1996, as contemplated by Section 2.5 of the Second 
JEDI Restructure Agreement:

               (1)  TAC consented to the actions contemplated by
          Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) of the Second JEDI Restructure
          Agreement and delivered certain documents necessary to effect
          such consent(s) and to release JEDI from all obligations under
          the Tranche B Warrants and the JEDI/Purchaser Option;

               (2)  the Company and TAC acknowledged in writing to JEDI
          that the JEDI Registration Rights Agreement, as amended by
          Amendment No. 1 thereto, continues to constitute the "Other
          Registration Rights Agreement" for purposes of the Purchaser
          Registration Rights Agreement; and

               (3)  the Company and TAC entered into a First Amendment
          to Shareholders Agreement ("FIRST AMENDMENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
          AGREEMENT") to amend lines 5 and 6 of Section 3.1(a) thereof
          to delete the phrase "(other than Equity Securities of the
          Company owned by Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or any such
          Group)" and substitute in its place the phrase "(other than
          Equity Securities of the Company owned by JEDI, Purchaser, any
          of their respective Affiliates or any Group of which any such
          entity is a member)", a copy of which First Amendment to
          Shareholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 6.

                             II.  TRANCHE A WARRANTS

      On January 31, 1996, pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Tranche A 
Warrant, the term of the Tranche A Warrant was extended to July 27, 1998 and 
TAC agreed that, during the period of nine consecutive months beginning on 
January 31, 1996, TAC shall not transfer to any person the beneficial 
ownership of any shares of Common Stock except in one or more transactions 
referred to in one or more of clauses (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) and (j) of 
Section 3.2 of the Shareholders Agreement.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     The information previously furnished in response to this item is amended 
to read as follows:

     TAC is the direct beneficial owner, and AC and Anschutz are indirect 
beneficial owners, of (i) 3,760,000 shares of Common Stock referred to in 
Item 4 as the Purchaser Note Conversion Shares and the Purchaser Additional 
Shares, (ii) 620,000 shares of Second Series Convertible Preferred Stock 
referred to in Item 4 as the Purchaser Preferred Shares (which are 
convertible into the 1,240,000 shares of Common Stock referred to in Item 4 
as the Purchaser Preferred Conversion Shares), (iii) Tranche A Warrants to 
acquire 3,888,888 shares of Common Stock that are referred to in Item 4 as 
the Tranche A Warrant Shares and (iv) an option referred to in Item 4 as the 
JEDI/Purchaser Option to acquire from the Company 2,250,000 shares of Common 
Stock that are referred to in Item 4 as Tranche B Warrant Shares.

     Without giving effect to the conversion of the Purchaser Preferred 
Shares or the exercise of any of the Tranche A Warrants, Tranche B Warrants 
or the JEDI/Purchaser Option, TAC has acquired the direct beneficial 
ownership, and AC and Anschutz the indirect beneficial ownership, of 
3,760,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 15.4% of the shares of 
Common Stock TAC believes to be outstanding as of January 31, 1996.

     After giving effect to the conversion of the Purchaser Preferred Shares 
and the exercise of all Tranche A Warrants, Tranche B Warrants and the 
JEDI/Purchaser Option (assuming for such purpose the absence of the 
restrictions imposed on the conversion or exercise thereof by the 
Shareholders Agreement), TAC may be deemed to have acquired the beneficial 
ownership, and AC and Anschutz the indirect beneficial ownership, of 
11,138,888 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 35.0% of the shares of 
Common Stock that would be outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of 
all such shares.

     TAC and its affiliates, including, without limitation, AC and Anschutz, 
are subject to certain restrictions on the voting, acquisition and 
disposition of shares of Common Stock and other equity securities of the 
Company.  Reference is made to Item 4 for a summary of such restrictions, as 
well as to the Shareholders Agreement attached as Exhibit 5 to Amendment No. 
1 and First Amendment to Shareholders Agreement attached as Exhibit 6 to this 
Amendment No. 2, pursuant to which such restrictions have been imposed.


                           Page 7 of 11 Pages

<PAGE>

     TAC, AC and Anschutz may be deemed to share the power both to vote and 
to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock and other equity 
securities of the Company referred to above if and when beneficial ownership 
thereof is acquired by TAC.  Reference is made to Item 4 for a summary of the 
transactions pursuant to which TAC may acquire such beneficial ownership.

     The information previously furnished in response to this item is
