(Mortimer B. Fuller, III, President).

    Mortimer B. Fuller, III and Frances A. Fuller, as Co-Trustees of the
Residuary Trust u/w of Mortimer B. Fuller, Jr. are parties to a Voting Agreement
and Stock Purchase Option dated March 21, 1980, as amended as of March 29, 1996
(the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which Mortimer B. Fuller, III has been
granted an irrevocable proxy to vote all shares of the Issuer owned by the such
members of the group.  The Voting Agreement terminates by its terms, and the
group may dissolve, upon (i) the incompetency, disability or death of Mortimer
B. Fuller, III, (ii) the written agreement of all of the parties to the Voting
Agreement, or (iii) expiration of the term of the Voting Agreement on March 20,
2008 and the failure of the parties to renew it for an additional term.

    The shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock reported in this Schedule
13G consist of:  (a) shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned by the
