          b.   Use them as collateral for loans;

          c.   Sell them;

          d.   Cause a legend to be placed on them as above provided.

     2.   All profits and losses arising as income or expenses or as a result
of capital transactions with regard to the Stock shall be for the account of
the Trusts and Beneficiaries and EFJ shall from time to time provide an
accounting to the Trustees and Beneficiaries of his administration of the
Stock.

     3.   Without limitation on the above and foregoing, the Trustees and
Beneficiaries agree that in connection with a Common Stock Transfer

                certain Common Stock Transfer Restriction Agreement
                dated as of October 1, 1987, and notice is hereby given
                that the shares represented by this certificate may only
                be dealt with as provided therein, and that said shares
                and any sale thereof are subject to the terms, conditions
