At December 31, 1997, a total of 2,320,380 shares of Common Stock
were held in the ESOP Trust, all of which were allocated to the accounts of

The Plan Administrator is a committee of three members appointed by
the Board of Directors of the Company. All acts of the Plan Administrator are by
a majority of the committee members. The Plan Administrator is the principal
fiduciary with respect to the operation and maintenance of the ESOP, with
authority to determine the timing of the purchase of shares of Common Stock.
Any securities purchased by the ESOP are purchased by Wells Fargo
Bank, the trustee of the ESOP Trust (the "ESOP Trustee"), as directed by the
Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator, the ESOP, the ESOP Trust, and the
ESOP Trustee may be deemed to have shared dispositive power over the Common
Stock held in the ESOP Trust.
The terms of the ESOP provide for the voting rights associated with
the Common Stock held by the ESOP Trust to be passed through and exercised
exclusively by the participants in the ESOP to the extent that such securities
are allocated to ESOP participants' accounts. Any shares held in the suspense
account maintained by the ESOP Trustee prior to their allocation to the accounts
of ESOP participants are voted by the ESOP Trustee at the direction of the Plan
Administrator. As of November 30, 1997, all shares of Common Stock held in the
ESOP Trust were allocated to the accounts of ESOP participants.
The current members of the committee acting as Plan Administrator are
Frank E. Baxter, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the
Company, Alan D. Browning, Executive Vice President of the Company and Melvin W.
Locke, Jr., Director of Human Resources of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4,
each such member disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock that
may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the ESOP Trust, except that each such
member does not disclaim beneficial ownership of those shares in which he has
