Item 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          Item 4 of the Statement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          On August 8, 1995 Capital Partners, Capital Partners International,
APC Partners and Redwood Partners agreed to sell, and sold, to the Company an

          Capital Partners, Capital Partners International, APC Partners and
Redwood Partners continue to  hold the remaining shares of Common Stock which
are the subject of this Schedule for investment purposes.

          None of the Reporting Persons have any present intention to acquire
control over the Issuer.  However, both Mr. Hellman and Mr. Friedman presently
serve as directors of the Company.

          The Reporting Persons are not aware of any proposals to acquire
control of the Company and have no present intention to

                              (Page 18 of 24 pages)

<PAGE>

exercise any of the rights they have under the Purchase Agreement to frustrate
any particular proposal to acquire such control.  However, the Reporting Persons
reserve the right to exercise any and all rights which they may have in any
manner they deem consistent with their interests (and, in the case of directors,
their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders) with respect to any
proposal to alter the management or control of the Company.
