Item 4 is hereby amended as follows:
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
In connection with the registration statement (the "Registration
Statement") on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, which was filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 1998 with
respect to a contemplated offering (the "Offering") by certain shareholders of
the Company of up to 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock, certain of the Filing
Persons have agreed to the inclusion of their names in the Registration
Statement in connection with the potential sale by them of an aggregate of
2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the contemplated Offering.
It is currently expected that the Underwriters of the IPO, including GS, would
act as underwriters with respect to the contemplated Offering.
Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of April 5, 1998, GS Capital beneficially owned, and GS
Advisors, L.P. may be deemed to beneficially own, an aggregate of 11,096,078
shares of Class B Common Stock, and the Other Limited Partnerships beneficially
owned an aggregate of 917,976 shares of Class B Common Stock. Based on the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, dated
March 27, 1998, 22,846,192 shares of Class A Common Stock and 52,963,811 shares
of Class B Common Stock were outstanding as of March 2, 1998. Based on the
foregoing, (i) GS Capital beneficially owns, and GS Advisors, L.P., may be
deemed to beneficially own, approximately 21.0% and the Other Limited
Partnerships in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 1.7% of the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, (ii) GS Capital beneficially owns,
and GS Advisors, L.P., may be deemed to beneficially own, approximately 14.6%
(20.1% of the voting power) and the Other Limited Partnerships in the aggregate
beneficially own approximately 1.2% (1.7% of the voting power) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (iii) assuming that the Limited
Partnerships convert their Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, but
that no other holder of Class B Common Stock effects such conversion, GS Capital
and the Other Limited Partnerships beneficially own approximately 31.8% and
2.6%, respectively, of the Class A Common Stock (2.7% and 0.2%, respectively, of
the voting power).
Both Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own,
through the Limited Partnerships' ownership of 12,014,054 shares of Class B
Common Stock, 12,014,054 shares of Class A Common Stock. For the purposes of
this Statement, GS Group also, through its ownership of 84,975 shares of Class B
Common Stock, may be deemed to beneficially own 84,975 shares of Class A Common
Stock. In addition, Goldman Sachs and GS Group beneficially own 5,850 shares of
Class A Common Stock acquired in ordinary course trading activities, and may be
deemed to beneficially own
-8-
<PAGE>
243,823 shares of Class A Common Stock currently held in the Managed Accounts.
Accordingly, Goldman Sachs and GS Group could be deemed beneficially own
approximately 22.7% and 22.8%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of Class
B Common Stock and 16.2% and 16.3%, respectively (and each 21.8% of the voting
power) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Assuming that Goldman Sachs
and GS Group convert their Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, but
that no other holder of Class B Common Stock effects such conversion, Goldman
Sachs and GS Group would be deemed to beneficially own approximately 35.2% and
35.3%, respectively, of the Class A Common Stock. Goldman Sachs and GS Group
each disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Limited Partnerships to the extent of partnership
interests in the Limited Partnerships held by persons other than Goldman Sachs,
GS Group or their affiliates. Goldman Sachs and GS Group also disclaim
beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock held in Managed
Accounts.
As of December 31, 1997, certain holders of shares of Class B Common
Stock, including the GS Group and its related entities, who are parties to an
agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement"), beneficially own 330,243 shares of
outstanding Class A Common Stock and 47,357,416 shares of outstanding Class B
Common Stock, which represent approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Class A
Common Stock and 89.4% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock (85.8% of the
voting power of all outstanding Common Stock). Assuming that the parties to the
Shareholders Agreement convert their Class B Common Stock into Class A Common
Stock, but that no other holder of Class B Common Stock effects such conversion,
the parties would beneficially own approximately 68.4% of the Class A Common
Stock. These shareholders have agreed to vote their shares for each other's
designees, subject to certain ownership requirements, and have agreed to vote
their shares to elect at least six members of the Board of Directors.
None of the Filing Persons or, to the knowledge of any of the Filing
Persons, any of the Limited Partnerships that is not a Filing Person or any of
the persons listed on Schedules I or II hereto, beneficially owns any shares of
Common Stock as of April 6, 1998, other than as set forth herein.
(b) Each Filing Person shares the power to vote or direct the vote and
to dispose or direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Filing Person as indicated in pages 2 through 5 above.
(c) Schedule IV sets forth transactions in the Common Stock which have
been effected during the period from February 4, 1998 through April 5, 1998, all
of which were effected in the ordinary course of business of Goldman Sachs. The
transactions in the Common Stock, described in Schedule IV, were effected in the
NASDAQ National Market. The total consideration (exclusive of commissions) for
the shares of Common Stock purchased during this period was approximately
$7,070,165.00.

(d) Except for clients of Goldman Sachs who may have the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock held in Managed Accounts, no other
person is known by any Filing Person to have the right to receive or the power

SCHEDULE III
In settlement of Securities and Exchange Commission Administrative
Proceeding File No. 3-7646 In the Matter of the Distribution of Securities
Issued by Certain Government Sponsored Enterprises, Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the
"Firm"), along with numerous other securities firms, without admitting or
denying any of the findings of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") consented to the entry of an Order, dated January 16, 1992. The SEC found
that the Firm, in connection with its participation in the primary distributions
of certain unsecured debt securities issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises
("GSEs"), made and kept certain records that did not accurately reflect the
Firm's customers' orders for GSEs' securities and/or offers, purchases or sales
by the Firm of the GSEs' securities effected by the Firm in violation of Section
17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.17a-3 and 240.17a-4.
The Firm was ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing
future violations of the aforementioned sections of the Exchange Act in
connection with any primary distributions of unsecured debt securities issued by
the GSEs, pay a civil money penalty to the United States Treasury in the amount
of $100,000 and maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure
the Firm's future compliance with the aforementioned sections of the Exchange
Act in connection with any primary distributions of unsecured debt securities
issued by the GSEs.
In Securities and Exchange Commission Administrative Proceeding File
No. 3-8282 In the Matter of Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Firm, without admitting or
denying any of the SEC's allegations, settled administrative proceedings
involving alleged books and records and supervisory violations relating to
eleven trades of U.S. Treasury securities in the secondary markets in 1985 and
1986. The SEC alleged that the Firm had failed to maintain certain records
required pursuant to Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and had also failed to
supervise activities relating to the aforementioned trades in violation of
Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Exchange Act.
The Firm was ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any
violation of the aforementioned sections of the Exchange Act, pay a civil money
penalty to the SEC in the amount of $250,000 and establish policies and
procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with Section 17(a) of the
Exchange Act and Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 thereunder.
