                  Items 3, 4, 5 and 7 are hereby amended as set
forth below.

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
                  [Items 3 is hereby amended so that, as amended, it
shall read in its entirety as follows:]

                  An aggregate of $25,704,788 of the funds of the
Managed Accounts (as hereinafter defined) and $1,527,862.00

investment manager for certain managed accounts (the
"Managed Accounts"), and Mr. Tryforos beneficially owns
1,864,450 shares in his capacity as investment manager for
four of the Managed Accounts.  In addition, Mr. Smith owns
100,000 shares of Common Stock for his own account.  The

Shares for the purpose of achieving the investment policies
of the Managed Accounts; and Mr. Smith has acquired his
Personal Shares for investment purposes.  Depending upon
market conditions, evaluation of alternative investments,
and such other factors as he may consider relevant, each of
the Reporting Persons may purchase or sell shares of Common
Stock for the Managed Accounts or other managed accounts or
for his own account if appropriate opportunities to do so
are available, on such terms and at such times as such
Reporting Person considers desirable.  Subject to the
