deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate,  1,807,898 shares of Common Stock,

Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 1999, File No. 0-2433).

High River has the sole power to vote and  dispose  of the  1,807,898  shares of

the purposes of determining beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3, to have
the shared  power with High  River to dispose or direct the  disposition  of the
1,807,898 shares of Common Stock owned by High River.

13(g) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  the beneficial owner
of any of the 1,807,898 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by High River.

The  1,807,898  shares of Common  Stock  which may be deemed to be  beneficially
