This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") filed pursuant
to Section 13d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), should be read in
conjunction with the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 11, 1999 via EDGAR. This Amendment amends the
Schedule 13D only with respect to Item 5 as set forth below. All capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in
the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons own an aggregate of
3,559,667 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock representing, approximately 16.3%
of the 21,685,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock believed to be
outstanding. These shares include (i) 3,449,667 shares held directly by Bed
Preferred No. 1, (ii) 45,000 shares that may be purchased by Thomas G. Eastman
or his estate upon the exercise of options, and (iii) 65,000 shares that may be
purchased by Thomas H. Nolan, Jr. upon the exercise of options (the shares that
may be purchased pursuant to options held by Messrs. Eastman and Nolan are
hereinafter referred to as the "Director Option Shares").
Messrs. Eastman and Nolan were initially designated by Bed Preferred
No. 1 to serve on the Board of Directors of the Issuer as the "Series A
Directors" (see discussion in Item 6 below). Although Mr. Nolan continues to sit
on the Board, he is not considered to be a designee of Bed Preferred No. 1 since
the contractual rights of Bed Preferred No. 1 to designate any Board members
terminated when the Series A Preferred Stock was converted into the Issuer's
Common Stock. Each of Mr. Nolan and Mr. Eastman (who has since passed away)
assigned to Bed Preferred No. 1 all of his rights to purchase the Director
Option Shares. Such assignments are discussed further in Item 6.
To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, as of the date hereof,
none of the Reporting Persons, nor any officer or director of Eastrich No. 165
Corporation or AEW Inc. beneficially own any other shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer.
(b) The Reporting Persons have the sole power to direct the voting and
disposition of the 3,559,667 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by the
Reporting Persons.

- ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------
(c) Other than as set forth below, to the best knowledge of the
Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons nor any officer or director of
Eastrich No. 165 Corporation or AEW Inc. has effected any transactions in the
Common Stock during the past 60 days:
On each of the dates listed below, the Reporting Persons sold the
number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in an open market transaction at
the price indicated. None of the shares sold were Director Option Shares.
