         (iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

              2,074,165 shares of Common Stock

         At December 31, 1998, a total of 2,074,165 shares of Common Stock were
held in the ESOP Trust, all of which were allocated to the accounts of
participants. All information set forth herein reflects allocations effective as
of November 30, 1998.

         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, 1998, 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
beneficial ownership as a participant in the ESOP.

         At December 31, 1998, Mr. Baxter beneficially owned, in his individual
capacity, 1,661,223 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 7.8% of
the outstanding class of Common Stock at that date. Further information
regarding Mr. Baxter's beneficial ownership in his individual capacity is set
forth in the Schedule 13G and amendments thereto filed by Mr. Baxter.

         At December 31, 1998, Mr. Browning beneficially owned, in his
individual capacity, 49,283 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
 .23% of the outstanding class of Common Stock at that date. The number of shares
beneficially owned by Mr. Browning includes 26,173 shares allocated to his
account under the ESOP (as to which shares he has sole voting power and no
dispositive power), and 13,493 shares allocated to his account under the
Jefferies Group, Inc. Capital Accumulation Plan for Key Employees (as to which
he has no voting power and which are subject to certain restrictions on
disposition). Except as otherwise indicated in the preceding sentence, Mr.
Browning has sole voting and sole dispositive power over the shares beneficially
owned by him at December 31, 1998.

capacity, 21,548 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately .10% of the
outstanding class of Common Stock at that date. The number of shares
beneficially owned by Mr. Locke includes 14,771 shares allocated to his account
under the ESOP (as to which shares he has sole voting power and no dispositive
power) and 5,244 shares allocated to his account under the Jefferies Group, Inc.
Capital Accumulation Plan for Key Employees (as to which he has no voting power
and which are subject to certain restrictions on disposition). Except as
otherwise indicated in the preceding sentence, Mr. Locke has sole voting and
sole dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by him at December 31,
1998.
