          Item 4 is hereby amended by deleting the  penultimate  sentence of the
fourth paragraph thereof, in its entirety.

          Item  4  is  hereby  amended  by  adding  the  following   before  the
penultimate paragraph thereof:

          "On April 30, 2001,  the Bailey  Stockholders  pursuant to the Support
and Option  Agreement,  tendered  7,175,000  shares (the  "Tendered  Shares") of
Common  Stock owned by them into the Offer,  all of which  Tendered  Shares were
accepted by the Company.

          On the  Closing  Date,  pursuant to the terms of the  Preferred  Stock
Purchase Agreement:

               (i) the Company  completed  the Offer on the terms and subject to
          the  conditions  set forth in the Offer to  Purchase,  dated April 17,
          2001 and in the related Letter of  Transmittal,  dated as of April 17,
          2001,  which  were  filed by the  Company as  Exhibits  (a)(1)(A)  and
          (a)(1)(B),  respectively, to Schedule TO filed by the Company with the
          SEC on April 17, 2001 and are  incorporated  herein by reference  (SEC
          file number 005-48233);

               (ii) the  Purchasers  and the  Company  executed  a  Registration
          Rights Agreement (the "Registration  Rights Agreement"),  dated as the
          Closing  Date,  the form of which is attached as Exhibit  10.02 to the
          Current  Report  on Form  8-K  filed  by the  Company  with the SEC on
          December  8, 2000  (SEC file  number  000-21039)  and is  incorporated
          herein by reference.  The Registration  Rights Agreement grants to the
          Purchasers and their respective affiliates (the "Covered Holders") the
          right on not  more  than two  occasions  to  require  the  Company  to
          register for offer and sale under the  Securities Act of 1933 all or a
          portion of the  Preferred  Stock  and/or  Common Stock  received  upon
          conversion   thereof  or  purchased   upon   exercise  of  the  Option
          (collectively, the "Registrable Securities"). Additionally, a majority
          of the Covered  Holders may request on two  occasions  in any calendar
          year that the Company  effect a shelf  registration  covering all or a
          portion of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, if the Company
          is so eligible  to file a shelf  registration  statement.  The Covered
          Holders  also have the  right,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  to
          request  that  the  Company  include  their   respective   Registrable
          Securities  in a  registration  undertaken  by the Company for its own
          behalf or on behalf of any of its other stockholders. All requests for
          registration  are  subject  to  customary  terms and  conditions.  The
          Company has agreed to pay all registration  expenses incurred by it in
          connection  with the  exercise of  registration  rights by the Covered
          Holders;

               (iii) pursuant to the terms of the Support and Option  Agreement,
          the Option became exercisable;



               (iv) the  Company  filed a  charter  amendment  and the  Articles
          Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of
          Maryland on the Closing Date; and

               (v) the Company issued and delivered certificates to DBCI and New
          Mountain representing  1,346,154 and 4,423,077 shares of the Preferred
          Stock, respectively, which shares of the Preferred Stock are initially
          convertible  into  1,346,154  and  4,423,077  shares of Common  Stock,
          respectively.

          Under the Articles  Supplementary  the holders of the Preferred  Stock
have the  right to elect (w) at least  one half of the  members  of the Board of
Directors  for so long as at  least  90% of the  votes  that  can be cast by the
holders of the Preferred  Stock on the Closing Date remain  outstanding,  (x) at
least 40% of the members of the Board of  Directors  for so long as at least 50%
of the votes that can be cast by the Preferred  Stock on the Closing Date remain
outstanding,  (y) at least 25% of the members of the Board of  Directors  for so
long as at  least  25% of the  votes  that  can be cast  by the  holders  of the
Preferred  Stock on the  Closing  Date remain  outstanding,  or (z) at least one
member of the Board of  Directors  for so long as at least 10% of the votes that
can be cast by the holders of the  Preferred  Stock on the  Closing  Date remain
outstanding.   As  discussed  above,  the  Purchasers  have,   pursuant  to  the
Shareholders  Agreement,  agreed as to how such  rights to elect  members of the
Board of Directors will be allocated between themselves.  Additionally,  as long
as clause (w) or (x) above is  satisfied,  the Company  shall not, and shall not
permit any of its  subsidiaries  to,  without  the  consent of a majority of the
directors elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock,  effect or validate any
of the following:

               (i) any authorization or issuance, reclassification,  repurchase,
          redemption or other acquisition of any of its equity securities or any
          rights,  warrants,   options  or  other  securities  exercisable  for,
          convertible into or otherwise carrying the right to acquire any equity
          securities,  or any derivative or similar  securities  with respect to
          any of the foregoing;

               (ii) any  issuance or  incurrence  of (or  agreement  to issue or
          incur,  including  by way of an  acquisition  of  any  entity,  or any
          merger,  business combination or similar transaction or as a result of
          any  amendment to any  indenture,  credit  agreement or other  similar
          instrument)  indebtedness (other than trade payables) if, after giving
          effect thereto, the Company's indebtedness (other than trade payables)
          would be greater than $25 million, on a consolidated basis;

               (iii) the liquidation,  dissolution, winding up or reorganization
          of the Company;

               (iv) any transaction or series of related transactions  involving
          a change of control of the Company or the sale of all or substantially
          all of the  equity  or  assets  of the  Company,  or any  acquisition,
          disposition or other business  combination  transaction  (or series of
          transactions)  involving  consideration  in an amount greater than $20
          million in the aggregate;

               (v) any amendment to the Company's charter or bylaws; or



               (vi) the removal or replacement of, or the  establishment  of the
          level  or  form  of  compensation  payable  to,  the  Company's  Chief
          Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

          Under the Articles  Supplementary,  each share of the Preferred  Stock
shall entitle its holder at any time to vote on all matters entitled to be voted
on by the holders of Common Stock (or any other voting security) voting together
as a single class  therewith  (with each share of Preferred Stock being entitled
to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common  Stock into which
such Preferred Stock is convertible into at such time). In addition,  as long as
any shares of the Preferred Stock are  outstanding,  the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding voting as
a single class shall be necessary for effecting,  entering into,  engaging in or
approving:

               (i) any  reclassification of the Preferred Stock or any change in
          the  Company's  charter or bylaws  which  would  adversely  affect the
          dividend or liquidation preferences,  voting powers or other rights of
          the holders of the Preferred Stock;

               (ii) the  authorization  or creation  of, or the  increase in the
          authorized amount of, or issuance of any shares of any class or series
          of (or  reclassification  of any  securities  into)  securities of the
          Company ranking senior or on par with the Preferred Stock with respect
          to distributions or rights on liquidation, or any security convertible
          into or exercisable for or otherwise representing the right to acquire
          any  such   securities  or  any   derivative  or  similar   securities
          representing any of the foregoing;

               (iii) any  issuance of shares of Common Stock at a price equal to
          or less  than $26 per  share,  adjusted  to  reflect  any  changes  in
          capitalization  of the Company after the Closing Date or of securities
          convertible  into or exchangeable  for, or otherwise  representing the
          right to acquire Common Stock for a  consideration  per share equal to
          or  less  than  $26 per  share,  as  adjusted,  based  on the  initial
          consideration paid; and

               (iv) the declaration,  payment or making of any dividend or other
          distribution  in  respect  of any  shares of the stock of the  Company
          other than dividends on the Preferred Stock and the regular  quarterly
          dividends  in cash  (adjusted  to reflect  changes in the Common Stock
          after the Closing Date),  provided that Board of Directors may without
          a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock  nominally  increase such
          regular quarterly dividend.

          The  holders  of  the  Preferred  Stock,   pursuant  to  the  Articles
Supplementary, are entitled to receive dividends prior to any amounts being paid
on the Common Stock when,  as and if declared by the Board of  Directors  out of
funds  legally  available  therefor with such  dividends on the Preferred  Stock
being payable as follows:


         (i)        from the Closing  Date until the fifth  anniversary  of that
                    date,  dividends accrue at an annual rate of 7.0% of the sum
                    of the liquidation  amount,  which liquidation amount on the
                    Closing Date was $26.00 per share,  plus any accumulated and



                    unpaid  dividends,  with 3.5% of that amount payable in cash
                    quarterly  and the balance  shall  accumulate  and  compound
                    quarterly  until the  Preferred  Stock either  converts,  is
                    redeemed, or a liquidation event occurs; and

         (ii)       thereon until the date of payment  beginning  with the fifth
                    anniversary  of the  Closing  Date,  dividends  accrue at an
                    annual rate of 3% of the sum of the liquidation  amount plus
                    any accumulated and unpaid dividends  thereon until the date
                    of  payment,  all of  which  are  payable  in cash  when the
                    dividend is declared.

          In  addition,  when and if the  board of  directors  declares  regular
quarterly  dividends on the common stock up to $0.065 per share,  holders of the
Preferred  Stock are not entitled to participate  in the Common Stock  dividend.
However,  the Preferred Stock will  participate on an as-converted  basis in any
dividends on Common Stock in excess of the regular quarterly dividends.

          Under the Articles  Supplementary  the holders of the Preferred  Stock
have  certain  preemptive  rights as set forth  under the charter of the Company
with respect to certain issuances of Common Stock issued after the Closing Date.

          On May 16, 2001,  the escrow agent  released to the Company the Escrow
Fund, of which the Company used  approximately  $30 million of its cash together
with the $150 million  representing  the aggregate  purchase  price of Preferred
Stock, deposited therein to pay the Bailey Stockholders for the Tendered Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred  Stock Purchase  Agreement,  the Tendered
Shares were then canceled (remaining  authorized,  but unissued).  Consequently,
the  outstanding  number of shares of Common Stock was reduced  from  15,514,882
shares  (the  number  of  shares  outstanding  on  May  15,  2001  prior  to the
consummation of the Offer) to 8,339,882  shares.  As of the Closing Date,  there
are authorized and outstanding 5,769,231 shares of Preferred Stock.

          The  Reporting  Persons  do not  intend  to  amend or  supplement  the
Schedule 13D as amended to reflect the additional shares of Common Stock,  which
may be issued upon conversion of the Preferred  Stock, due solely to the accrual
and addition of dividends to the liquidation preference."

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          The prior  responses  to this item set forth in the Schedule 13D filed
on March 26, 2001 are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following:

          "(a) DBCI's beneficial  ownership of 6,769,231 shares of Common Stock,
as a result of its  acquisition  of the Preferred  Stock and the Option and as a
result of group status with New Mountain,  constitutes  beneficial  ownership of
approximately  48% of the total  number of shares of  outstanding  Common  Stock
(assuming the number of shares  outstanding  on May 16,  2001).  Each of Taunus,
DBCP Inc. and DBCP L.P. may be deemed to be the  beneficial  owner of the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by DBCI. In addition, Taunus may be deemed to
be the  beneficial  owner of 100 shares of Common  Stock owned by Deutsche  Banc
Alex. Brown Inc.  ("DBAB"),  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Taunus,  which,  when
aggregated with the 6,769,231  shares of Common Stock which Taunus may be deemed
to beneficially own as a result of the beneficial ownership by DBCI, constitutes
beneficial  ownership by Taunus of  approximately  48%  (assuming  the number of
shares  outstanding  on May 16,  2001) of the  total  number  of the  shares  of
outstanding Common Stock.



          The  Reporting  Persons and New  Mountain  may be deemed to comprise a
group as a result of certain provisions contained in the Shareholders  Agreement
pertaining  to the  voting of  directors  and the  disposition  of shares of the
Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

          The Reporting  Persons  hereby  disclaim  beneficial  ownership of the
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and purchasable
pursuant to Option to the extent owned by New Mountain.

          (b)  DBAB has the sole  power to vote or to  direct  the vote and sole
power to  dispose or to direct the  disposition  of 100 shares of Common  Stock.
Each of DBCI,  DBCP L.P.,  DBCP Inc., and Taunus has the shared power to vote or
direct the vote with New Mountain of  6,769,231  shares of Common Stock and each
of DBCI,  DBCP L.P., DBCP Inc., and Taunus has the shared power to dispose or to
direct the  disposition  of  1,579,154  shares of Common  Stock.  Taunus has the
shared  power with DBAB to vote or direct the vote of 100 shares of Common Stock
and has the shared  power with DBAB to dispose or to direct the  disposition  of
100 shares of Common Stock.

          (c) Within the past 60 days,  DBAB, in the ordinary course of business
and for its own account (through a program trading account),  made the following
transactions with regard to the Company's Common Stock:

          (i) On April 30, 2001, purchased 100 shares of Common Stock at a price
$ 41.70 per share of Common Stock.

          (ii) On April 3, 2001, sold 100 shares of Common Stock at a price of $
41.87 per share of Common Stock.

          (ii) On May 8, 2001,  purchased  100 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $40.56 per share of Common Stock.

          Except as described  above,  during the past sixty days, none of DBCI,
DBCP L.P., DBCP Inc. nor Taunus,  nor, to the best knowledge of DBCI, DBCP L.P.,
DBCP Inc., and Taunus,  any of the persons set forth on Schedule I, has effected
any transactions in shares of Common Stock.

          (d) Not applicable.

          (e) Not applicable."

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer

          Item 6 is hereby  amended  by  adding  the  following  below the final
paragraph thereof:



          "Registration  Rights  Agreement.  The Covered  Holders  have  certain
registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, including the
right to require on two occasions  that the Company  register for offer or sale,
under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  their  respective  Registrable  Securities.
Additionally,  a majority of the Covered Holders may request on two occasions in
any  calendar  year  that  the  Company  effect  a  shelf  registration  of  the
Registrable  Securities  then  outstanding,  if the Company is so eligible for a
shelf registration  statement.  The Covered Holders also have the right, subject
to certain  limitations,  to request that the Company,  include their respective
Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken by the Company on its behalf
or on behalf of any of its other stockholders. The Company has agreed to pay all
registration  expenses  incurred in connection with the exercise of registration
rights by the Covered  Holders.  All  requests for  registration  are subject to
customary terms and conditions."
