as follows:

ITEM 4.   OWNERSHIP.

     A.  Vinik Partners and VGH
        (a)  Amount beneficially owned: 1,273,500
        (b)  Percent of class: 2.0%
          (All percentages herein are based on 62,652,874 shares of Common 
          Stock reported to be outstanding as of October 31, 1998, as 
          reflected in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed
          with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company for 
          the quarter ended September 30, 1998.)

                   an investment management agreement with VAM LP pursuant to 
                   which VAM LP has investment authority with respect to 
                   securities held in such account.  Such authority includes

                   provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VAM LP and VAM LLC may

                   Overseas.

                   to vote the Common Stock beneficially owned by VGH and VAM 
                   LLC.  None of Messrs. Vinik, Gordon and Hostetter directly 
                   own any shares of Common Stock.  By reason of the 
                   provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, each may be deemed to
