                 The reporting person serves as a trustee of the Issuer's
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Related Trust (the "ESOP"). Participants in
the ESOP are entitled to direct the voting of shares allocated to their ESOP
accounts. To the extent dividends are declared and paid, the dividends
attributable to the ESOP's shares, including shares allocated to participants'
accounts, may, pursuant to the terms of the ESOP, be directed by the
Administrative Committee of the ESOP to be used to reduce the debt incurred by
the ESOP for its original acquisition of the Common Stock held by the ESOP. In
such event, the dividends paid with respect to allocated shares are paid to
participants in the form of additional shares released to such participants'
ESOP accounts. As of December 31, 1999, the ESOP owned of record 2,917,347
shares of Common Stock, or 34.04% of the shares outstanding on such date, of
which 1,875,288 shares had been allocated to the accounts of participating
employees.

                 William H. Martin, III, William D. Biggs, Jim D. Caudle, Sr.,
Herbert J. Dickson, Bill G. Hughey, John L. Duncan, Charles R. Martin, James J.
Tanous and Robert L. Goucher serve as members of the Administrative Committee,
and Robert L. Goucher, William F. Roberts and the reporting person serve as
trustees of the ESOP. The individual members of the Administrative Committee and
the trustees also beneficially own additional shares of Common Stock in the
Company that are not owned of record by the ESOP, and each member has made an
individual filing on Schedule 13G. Except for Mr. Goucher, Mr. Roberts and the
reporting person, no member of the Administrative Committee or trustee is
currently a participant in the ESOP. The reporting person disclaims beneficial
ownership of the shares held by the ESOP that have not been allocated to the
participant's account and further disclaims that the ESOP and its trustees and
Administrative Committee constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE 13G

(1)      Includes 13,000 shares of Common Stock which Mr. Schlosser is entitled
         to acquire pursuant to options to acquire said shares that are
         exercisable in full within 60 days. Also includes shares of Common
         Stock acquired through the Issuer's Dividend Reinvestment Plan which
         allows for the acquisition of fractional share interests.

(2)      Includes 2,917,347 shares of Common Stock held by the Issuer's Employee
         Stock Ownership Plan and Related Trust (the "ESOP"). Mr. Schlosser acts
         as a trustee of the ESOP. Participants in the ESOP are entitled to
         direct the voting of shares allocated to their ESOP accounts. Pursuant
         to the terms of the ESOP, the Administrative Committee of the ESOP is
         responsible for certain investment decisions (including decisions
         regarding acquisition and disposition) regarding assets held by the
         ESOP. In the event the trustees of the ESOP receive an offer to sell or
         to tender all shares of the Common Stock held by the ESOP, the
         Administrative Committee, without solicitation of approval from
         participating employees (unless the committee decides otherwise),
         determines whether or not to tender or sell said shares. Mr. Schlosser
         is a participant in the ESOP but disclaims beneficial ownership of the
         Common Stock held by the ESOP that has not been allocated to his
         account.

(3)      Includes 11,305 shares of Common Stock that have been allocated to Mr.
         Schlosser's account pursuant to the terms of the ESOP. The final
         determination of shares of Common Stock to be allocated under the ESOP
         for 1999 had not been made as of the date of this filing. Therefore,
         the 11,305 shares do not include the allocation of shares to be made
         for 1999.

(4)      Share information for purposes of determining the percentage of
         outstanding Common Stock held by the reporting person is based upon
         information regarding the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
         as of December 31, 1999 received from the Issuer on February 2, 2000.
         Also, solely for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding
         Common Stock held by the reporting person, the shares of Common Stock
         which the reporting person has the right to acquire upon exercise of
         options that were exercisable within 60 days are deemed to be
         outstanding.
