                    the beneficial owner of the following Shares:

                        1,512,900 shares
                    
                                   -4-
         (b)  Percent of class:(based on 14,669,000 shares
                    outstanding)

                         10.65%

               (c)  Number of shares as to which such person has:

                    (i)       sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
                              None

                    (ii)      shared power to vote or to direct the    
                              vote:  1,512,900

                    (iii)     sole power to dispose or to direct the   
                              disposition of:  none

                    (iv)      shared power to dispose or to direct the
                              disposition of:  1,512,900

               Harris has been granted the power to vote shares in
               circumstances it determines to be appropriate in connection
               with assisting its advised clients to whom it renders
               financial advice in the ordinary course of its business, by
               either providing information or advice to the persons having
               such power, or by exercising the power to vote when it
               determines such action appropriate in connection with
               matters which are submitted to a security holder's vote.
                    
               In addition, Harris serves as investment adviser to Harris
               Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), and various of
               Harris' officers and directors are also officers and
               trustees of the Trust.  Harris does not consider that the
               Trust is controlled by such persons.  The Trust, through its
               various series, beneficially owns 1,512,900 Shares, which
               are included as Shares over which Harris has shared voting
               and dispositive power, and thus, as Shares beneficially
               owned by Harris because of Harris' power to manage the
               Trust's investment.  In addition, Harris serves as
               investment adviser to a small number of other clients who
               may own Shares, but for which Harris does not have
               discretionary authority.  Nevertheless, the Shares are
               included in the aggregate number of Shares over which Harris
               has shared voting and shared dispositive power reported
               herein, although Harris may not be deemed the beneficial
               owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3) of such shares.

                   Not Applicable

               the 1,512,900 Shares of Common Stock indicated as "shared
               power to dispose or to direct the disposition of," 967,900 
               are owned by The Oakmark Fund, a series of the Trust.

               dividends from, and proceeds from the sale of, the
               securities reported herein.
