                  M. Roney disclaims beneficial ownership of the
                  following:  20,452,884 shares of Class B Common
                  Stock held indirectly as general partner of

                  Common Stock held indirectly as sole trustee of
                  The S & K Trust.

             (b)  Each share of Class B Common Stock is
                  convertible at any time at the option of the
                  holder into one share of Class A Common Stock
                  and each share of Class B Common Stock is
                  automatically converted into one share of Class
                  A Common Stock upon the transfer of such share
                  of Class B Common Stock to any person who is
                  not a Permitted Transferee as defined in the
                  Stockholders Agreement effective as of November

                  the number of shares of then outstanding Class
                  A Common Stock. 

                  Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the
                  holder to one vote on each matter submitted to
                  a vote of the Issuer's stockholders and each
                  share of Class B Common Stock entitles the
                  holder to ten votes on each such matter,
                  including the election of directors.  Assuming
                  conversion of 20,629,049 shares of Class B

                  voting power of the Issuer.

                  Assuming no conversion of outstanding shares of
                  Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or
                  deemed to be owned by Blake M. Roney, he would
                  beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially
                  own 20,629,049 shares of Class B Common Stock
                  which would constitute 28.2% of the aggregate
                  voting power of the Issuer.

                  176,165 shares of Class B Common Stock

                  shares of Class A Common Stock held indirectly
                  as sole trustee of The S & K Trust.
