     Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     ---------------------------------------------
               a.   The aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's Common 
     Stock beneficially owned by VP as of September 17, 1998 was 1,425,191, 
     representing 13.31% of the Issuer's 10,708,254 outstanding shares of 
     Common Stock as of August 11, 1998, the date of the filing of the Form 
     10-Q  by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The 
     Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 2,175     
     shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.02% of the 
     Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August

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

     11, 1998.  The IRA directly (and Mr.Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 
     41,628 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.39% of 
     the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 11, 1998.  
     Except with respect to shares owned by the Account or the IRA, none of 
     E&P, EAM or Mr. Ewing directly owns any shares of Common Stock.  By 
     reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, each of 
     E&P, EAM and Mr. Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,468,994 
     shares of Common Stock owned by VP, the Account and the IRA, but E&P and
     EAM disclaim the beneficial ownership of all 1,468,994 shares, and Mr. 
     Ewing disclaims the beneficial ownership of 1,425,191 shares, pursuant 
     to Rule 13d-4.

               b.   VP has the sole power to vote and the sole power to 
     dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by it through its general 
     partner, E&P, and E&P acts solely through its general partners, EAM and 
     Mr. Ewing.  Accordingly, each of E&P and Mr. Ewing may be deemed to have
     sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Issuer's
     Common Stock owned by VP. 

               Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 
     shares of Common Stock owned by the Account and the IRA.

               c.   Except as disclosed in Amendment No. 9 or this Amendment 
     No. 10, none of VP, E&P, EAM or Mr. Ewing, the Account or the IRA has 
     effected any transaction in the Issuer's Common Stock within the past 60
     days.

               d.   No person or entity other than VP has the right to 
     receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the 
     proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock 
     beneficially owned by VP.

               No person or entity other than the Account has the right to 
     receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the 
     proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock 
     beneficially owned by the Account.

               No person or entity other than the IRA has the right to 
     receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the 
     proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock 
     beneficially owned by the IRA.

               e.   Not applicable.

     Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships 
     -----------------------------------------------------------------
     with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     ---------------------------------------

     As of the date of the execution of this Amendment No. 10, (except for 
     the separate custodial account agreements for the Account and the IRA by
     and between Mr. Ewing and Fiduciary Trust Company, the custodian of such
     accounts, which Mr. Ewing does not believe to be applicable under this 
     Item 6), none of VP, E&P, EAM or Mr. Ewing, the Account or the IRA is a 
     party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship among 
     themselves or with any other person with respect to any securities of 
     the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of 
     the Common Stock, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option 
     arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits 
     or loss, the giving or withholding of proxies or pledge or otherwise 
     subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another 
     person voting or investment power over the Common Stock, other than the 
     agreement among VP, E&P, EAM, Mr. Ewing, the Account and the IRA
