ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

         On July 1, 1998, the Company,  Hvide Trust Limited,  J. Erik Hvide, the
Clipper Partnerships,  OGF II and Met entered into the agreement attached hereto
as Exhibit F (the "Agreement") in order to (i) specify  procedures for effecting
the  distribution  of all  of the  shares  of  Common  Stock  directly  held  by
Clipper/Hercules, L.P. ("Hercules") to its partners (OGF II, Clipper Capital and
certain  individuals),  and  any  future  distribution  by OGF II of the  shares
distributed  to it by Hercules,  together with all of the shares of Common Stock
held by it directly (the "Olympus  Shares"),  and (ii) acknowledge that upon the
distribution  of the  Olympus  Shares,  OGF II will no longer be a party to that
Agreement  Among   Shareholders   dated  August  14,  1996,  among  the  Clipper
Partnerships,  Met, OGF II, J. Erik Hvide and Hvide Trust  Limited (as successor
in  interest  to  the  Hvide  Trusts),   as  described  in  Item  6  below  (the
"Shareholders Agreement"), and thereafter OGF II and its partners will no longer
have any rights or obligations under that agreement.

         Pursuant to the Agreement, on July 1, 1998, Hercules distributed to its
partners (OGF II,  Clipper  Capital and certain  individuals) a total of 477,762
shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:  442,788 shares to OGF II, 323 shares
to Clipper Capital and 34,651 shares to certain individuals.

         Of the 477,762 shares distributed by Hercules,  359,401 shares had been
held by Hercules as shares of Class B Common Stock.  Prior to distributing those
shares,  Hercules  converted  them  into  shares  of Class A  Common  Stock on a
one-for-one basis.

         As a result of the above distribution, Hercules is no longer a party to
the Shareholders  Agreement and no longer has a beneficial ownership interest in
the Common Stock. Hercules ceased to be a 5% beneficial owner on July 1, 1998.

         Although the Reporting  Persons believe that the shares of Common Stock
that they  beneficially  own are an  attractive  investment  at this time,  they
continue to monitor and  evaluate  their  investment  in the Company in light of
pertinent factors, including the following:

(i)  the  Company's  business,   operations,  assets,  financial  condition  and
     prospects;

(ii) market, general economic and other conditions; and

(iii)other  available  investment  opportunities.  In  light  of  the  foregoing
     factors,  and the plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons from time
     to time,  the  Reporting  Persons may  determine to (i) acquire  additional
     securities of the Company, (ii) dispose of some or all of the securities of
     the Company that they  beneficially  own,  (iii) increase or decrease their
     participation in the determination of the Company's management and policies
     or (iv) propose a merger,  consolidation,  joint venture or other  business
     combination  involving the Company or its subsidiaries,  a sale or purchase
     of  assets  or   securities   of  the  Company  or  its   subsidiaries,   a
     recapitalization,  reorganization  or liquidation  involving the Company or
     its subsidiaries or other similar actions.

         The Reporting Persons reserve the right,  either individually or in any
combination  among  themselves  or  together  with  one or  more  of  the  other
stockholders  of the Company,  to determine in the future to take or cause to be
taken one or more of the foregoing actions. Any sale or disposition of shares of
Common  Stock  by the  Reporting  Persons  may be made  by  means  of  privately
negotiated sales,  registered  offerings or other  transactions or by seeking to
cause the Company to effect one or more of the transactions set forth above.

         Except as described in Item 6 below, the Reporting  Persons do not have
either  plans  or  proposals  related  to or  that  would  result  in:  (i)  the
acquisition  by any person of  additional  securities  of the  Company;  (ii) an
extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as  a  merger,  reorganization  or
liquidation,  involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;  (iii) a sale or
transfer  of a  material  amount of the  assets of the  Company or of any of its
subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Company or any of its  subsidiaries,  including  any plans or  proposals  to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing  vacancies on the
board; (v) any material change in the present  capitalization or dividend policy
of the Company;  (vi) any other  material  change in the  Company's  business or
corporate  structure;  (vii) any changes in the  Company's  charter,  by-laws or
instruments   corresponding  thereto  or  other  actions  that  may  impede  the
acquisition of control of the Company by any persons;  (viii) causing the shares
of Common Stock to be delisted from a national  securities  exchange or to cease
to be  authorized  to  be  quoted  in  an  inter-dealer  quotation  system  of a
registered national securities association;  (ix) any class of equity securities
of the Company  becoming  eligible for termination of  registration  pursuant to
Section  12(g)(4)  of the  Act;  or  (x)  any  action  similar  to any of  those
enumerated above. The Reporting Persons reserve the right,  either  individually
or in any combination among themselves or together with one or more of the other
stockholders  of the Company,  to determine in the future to take or cause to be
taken one or more of the foregoing actions.
