Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
            -------------------------------------------------

The Reporting Person is filing this amendment to report that his beneficial
ownership interest in the Company has decreased below 5% of the Company's issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person's interest
decreased below 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common
stock because First Federal Savings and Loan Association of America, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company terminated its Supplemental Executive Retirement
Plan of which the Reporting Person was a participant. As a participant, the
Reporting Person was deemed to be the beneficial owner of 160,222 shares of
Common Stock held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was terminated in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 6, 2003, by and
between Webster Financial Corporation and the Company (the "Merger Agreement").
Consequently, the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership decreased by 160,222
shares. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting
Person exercised 444,220 Non-qualified Stock Options beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person. The Reporting Person used personal funds to pay the aggregate
exercise price of such Stock Options. For tax planning and portfolio
diversification purposes, the Reporting Person sold 341,100 shares of Common
Stock following the exercise of the Non-qualified Stock Options. The Reporting
Person's sales of Common Stock between October 29, 2003 and November 13, 2003
are reflected under Item 5 below. The information required by Item 3 is included
in the original Schedule 13D the Reporting Person filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 3, 2000, as amended on June 8, 2001, which is
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
            ------------------------------------

      (a)   454,517 shares are beneficially owned by the reporting person as of
            the date of this statement, representing 2.5% of the total shares

      (b)   The reporting person has sole voting and dispositive power over
            454,517 shares.

            The reporting person has no shared voting and dispositive power.

                        a result of First Federal Savings and Loan Association
                        of America's termination of its Supplemental Executive
                        Retirement Plan.
