     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 February 29, 2000 was 1,038,191
     representing 8.9% of the Issuer's 11,707,692 outstanding shares of
     Common Stock as of October 25, 1999, as reported in the Form 10-Q filed
     on December 10, 1999, by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.  The Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly)
     beneficially owns 3,725 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which
     represents 0.03% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as
     of October 25, 1999.  The IRA directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly)
     beneficially owns 41,728 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which
     represents 0.4% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of
     October 25, 1999.  The Investment Account directly (and Mr. Ewing
     indirectly) beneficially owns 3,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
     which represents 0.03% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common
     Stock as of October 25, 1999.  Except with respect to shares owned by
     the Account, the Investment Account or the IRA, neither E&P nor 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 and Mr.
     Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,038,191 shares of Common
     Stock owned by VP, and Mr. Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the
     1,086,644 shares of Common Stock owned by VP, the Account, the
     Investment Account and the IRA, but E&P disclaims the beneficial
     ownership of all 1,086,644 shares, and Mr. Ewing disclaims the
     beneficial ownership of 1,038,191 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 partner, 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, the Investment Account and the IRA.

           c.   The following table sets forth the date of sale, number of
     shares of the Issuer's Common Stock sold and total sale price of such
     shares for the transactions by VP and E&P in the Issuer's Common Stock
     since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D on February 4, 2000.


           Date of Sale        No. of Shares Sold        Price Per Share
           ------------        ------------------        ---------------

         February 16, 2000          100,000              $31.00

         February 24, 2000           18,200              $31.38

         February 29, 2000           70,000              $29.75



           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.

           No person or entity other than the Investment 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 Investment Account.

           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. 12, (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, Mr. Ewing, the Account, the Investment 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, Mr. Ewing, the Account, the
Investment Account  and the IRA with respect to the filing of this Amendment
No. 12 and any amendments thereto, which agreement is attached as Exhibit A
hereto.
