power to vote and dispose of 75,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock  ("Samstock
Reported Shares"). SZI, Zell GP, Zell Trust and Mr. Zell have the indirect power
to vote or dispose of the Samstock  Reported Shares that are beneficially  owned
directly by Samstock. Mr. Zell beneficially owns and will have the sole power to

days, vested and exercisable.

           (c) On  August  10,  1999,  VFC  consummated  the  redemption  of the
outstanding  preferred units of limited  liability  company interests in VFC. In
the  redemption,  the preferred  units in VFC were redeemed in exchange for: (i)
1,292,103  shares  of Class A Common  Stock,  (ii)  2,293,784  shares of class B

of the redemption and no other  consideration  was paid by the redeemed  holders
for the shares of stock of the Issuer distributed to them.


Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to
