Explanation

         This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is being filed to register
3,200,000 additional shares issuable pursuant to Registrant's 1995 Long Term
Incentive and Share Award Plan. Registrant initially registered 1,800,000 shares
in connection with the 1995 Long Term Incentive and Share Award Plan pursuant to
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 which became effective September 8, 1995
(File No. 33-96682). Effective January 25, 1999, Registrant's shares were split
3 for 2 increasing the number of registered shares to 2,700,000. With this
amendment, there will be a total of 5,900,000 shares registered.

         The contents of the earlier Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File
No. 33-96682) amended hereby are incorporated herein by reference.
