     --------------------------

     (1)  Participants in the ESOP (the "ESOP Participants") have the right to
          direct the Trustee in the voting of Common Stock and Series E ESOP
          Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value (the "Series E Preferred
          Stock"), allocated to their accounts on all matters required to be
          submitted to a vote of shareholders.  The Series E Preferred Stock and
          the Common Stock vote together in one class on all matters submitted
          to a vote of shareholders.  Each share of Series E Preferred Stock
          entitles the holder thereof to 1.25 votes on all matters submitted to
          a vote of the shareholders of the Issuer.  If no directions are
          received as to voting of allocated shares, the Trustee votes such
          shares in the same proportion as the allocated shares for which the
          Trustee receives directions


<PAGE>

          from ESOP Participants.  The unallocated shares of Common Stock and
          Series E Preferred Stock are also voted by the Trustee in the same
          proportion as the allocated shares for which the Trustee receives
          directions from ESOP Participants.  Additionally, the Trustee has the
          authority to dispose of allocated and unallocated shares in its
          discretion.  Because the Trustee has investment and voting discretion
          over allocated and unallocated shares under certain circumstances,
          such shares may be deemed beneficially owned by the Trust and the
          Trustee under such circumstances.  Accordingly, the shares listed as
          beneficially owned by the Trust include: (a) 1,633,148.064 shares of
          Series E Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,633,148.064 shares of
          Common Stock) which are not allocated to the individual accounts of
          the ESOP Participants; (b) 1,447,639.723 shares of Series E Preferred
          Stock (convertible into 1,447,639.723 shares of Common Stock) which
          are allocated to the accounts of the ESOP Participants; and 2.263
          Shares of Series E Preferred Stock (convertible into 2.263 shares of
          Common Stock) which are in an ESOP Holding Account.  The filing of
          this Schedule 13G, however, does not constitute, and shall not be
          construed as, an admission that the Trust is, for the purposes of
          Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any
          securities covered by this Statement.

(2)       The shares listed as beneficially owned by the Trustee include: (i)
          3,080,790.05 shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by the Trustee
          solely in its capacity as trustee of the Trust (see discussion in note
          1 above) and (ii) 829,710 shares of Common Stock held by the Trustee
          in agency or fiduciary capacities unrelated to the Trust on behalf of
          certain participants in the Issuer's 401(k) Plan (the "401(k)
          Participants").  Such shares are voted as directed by the 401(k)
          Participants.  If no directions are received from the 401(k)
          Participants, the Trustee votes such shares in the same proportion as
          the shares for which the Trustee receives directions from the 401(k)
          Participants.  Because the Trustee has, under certain circumstances,
          investment and voting discretion over allocated and unallocated shares
          and over the shares of Common Stock held in agency or fiduciary
          capacities unrelated to the Trust, such shares may be deemed
          beneficially owned by the Trust and the Trustee under such
          circumstances.  The filing of this Schedule 13G, however, does not
          constitute, and shall not be construed as, an admission that the
          Trustee is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the
          beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement.

ITEM 5.   OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS:

Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.   OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust and the ESOP, ESOP Participants
are entitled to receive certain distributions or assets held by the Trust.  Such
distributions may include proceeds from dividends on, or the sale of, shares of
Common Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, reflected in this Schedule 13G.

ITEM 7.   IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE
               SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY:

Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.   IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP:

Not Applicable.

ITEM 10.  CERTIFICATION:

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the
securities referred to above were acquired in the ordinary course of business
and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of changing

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify
