     AMP may, as strictly an investment decision, sell all or a portion of the

prohibited AMP from selling, transferring, assigning or making any other

                               Page 4 of 6 Pages
<PAGE>
disposition of any securities of the Company held by AMP until after December
27, 1993 without obtaining the prior written consent of the underwriters
managing that offering. On November 3, 1993, AMP entered into a second Holdback
Agreement in connection with the Company's secondary public offering. Under the
terms of the second Holdback Agreement, AMP agreed not to sell, transfer, assign
or make any other disposition of any securities of the Company held by AMP for
the period ending 120 days after the effective date of the registration
statement for said secondary public offering, which effectively was the period
ending March 4, 1994, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the
underwriters managing that offering. Since March 4, 1994, AMP has been under no
restrictions with respect to the sale of the Company's securities.

     Richard P. Clark may, as strictly an investment decision, exercise all or
any portion of the options he holds or may hereafter receive from the Company in
the Common Stock of the Company, purchase shares of the Common Stock of the
Company other than by the exercise of options, and/or sell any such acquired
shares in the Common Stock of the Company.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

   Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

     1)   As of September 9, 1997, AMP beneficially owned a total of 1,073,063
          shares of Common Stock of the Company, constituting approximately
          8.08% of the 13,278,972 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
          Company. The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
          outstanding is the number of such shares outstanding effective August

          of 13,832 shares of Common Stock of the Company, consisting of 13,832
          options that are vested and by which Mr. Clark has the right to
          acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company within 60 days. These
          13,832 shares that are beneficially owned by Mr. Clark represent
          approximately 0.01% of the 13,278,972 outstanding shares of Common
          Stock of the Company.

     2)   AMP has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all the
          shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by it.
