Item 6.  Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings or Relationships with Respect

         This Item 6 is supplementally amended as follows:

         As described in Item 2 hereof (which description is hereby incorporated
by reference into this Item 6), effective as of February 27, 2002, in connection
with an internal  reorganization  in which  ultimate  economic  interest did not
change, CTF Holdings transferred,  for nominal consideration,  its entire 68.75%
interest  in Alfa  Finance  to  Cotesmore,  Laketown  and  Bardsley  in the same
percentages as the owners of such entities hold interests in Crown Finance,  the
sole shareholder of CTF Holdings.  Each of Cotesmore,  Laketown,  Bardsley,  CTF
Holdings and Alfa Finance concurrently entered into the Administration Agreement
and  associated  Powers of  Attorney,  whereby each of  Cotesmore,  Laketown and
Bardsley  granted CTF Holdings the right to take any actions with respect to the
Alfa Finance  shares held by each such entity  unless such  actions  relate to a
Reserved  Matter  (as such term is  defined  in the  Administration  Agreement).


                                                              Page 9 of 30 Pages


Should a Reserved Matter arise,  CTF Holdings is obligated to obtain the written
consent of each of Cotesmore,  Laketown and Bardsley  prior to taking any action
or making any omission in relation to the Alfa Finance  shares held by each such
entity. If CTF Holdings fails to obtain such prior written consent, the affected
shareholder  of Alfa Finance may  terminate  the  Administration  Agreement  and
retain  ownership  of its Alfa  Finance  shares for its own benefit and may also
revoke the Power of Attorney it granted in favor of CTF  Holdings  (which  would
otherwise  be  irrevocable  for a period of twelve  months  from the date of its
execution).  Absent  this  circumstance,  the  Administration  Agreement  may be
terminated only upon the written  agreement of Cotesmore,  Laketown and Bardsley
or  upon  the  winding-up  of  Alfa  Finance  or CTF  Holdings.  A  copy  of the
Administration  Agreement  is attached  hereto as Exhibit L and is  incorporated
herein by reference.

         From time to time,  each of the  Reporting  Persons may lend  portfolio
securities  to  brokers,  banks or other  financial  institutions.  These  loans
typically obligate the borrower to return the securities,  or an equal amount of
securities  of the same  class,  to the lender and  typically  provide  that the
borrower is entitled to exercise  voting rights and to retain  dividends  during
the term of the loan.  From time to time, to the extent  permitted by applicable
laws, each of the Reporting Persons may borrow securities, including the Shares,
for the purpose of effecting,  and may effect,  short sale  transactions and may
purchase  securities  for the  purpose of closing  out short  positions  in such
securities.

         The foregoing  description  of the  Administration  Agreement  does not
purport to be  complete  and is  qualified  in its  entirety by the terms of the
Administration Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

         Except as set  forth  herein,  the  Reporting  Persons  do not have any
contracts,  arrangements,  understandings  or relationships  with respect to any
securities of the Issuer.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

         The Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
