          On April 21, 1995, as a result of a change of control of the Issuer,
     incentive stock options previously granted to Lawrence J. Schorr to
     purchase 52,580 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock became exercisable by

     CUSIP NO. 760930-10-7                                Page 4 of 6 Pages


     As a result of the vesting of options reported herein, Mr. Schorr will hold
     options to purchase an aggregate of 178,500 shares of the Issuer's Common
     Stock, all of which are fully exercisable on April 21, 1995, at exercise
     prices ranging from $3.42 to $8.50 per share.  The aggregate exercise price
     to be paid if options to purchase all 178,500 shares are exercised is

     shares upon the exercise of the options, if such options are exercised,

          (a) As of the close of business on April 21, 1995, Lawrence J. Schorr,
     by virtue Rule 13(d)(1)(i), may be deemed to own beneficially an aggregate
     of 178,500 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, all of which shares are
     issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted to Mr. Schorr that are
     exercisable on such date.  Assuming the exercise of all such stock options,
     Mr. Schorr would beneficially own 6.25% of the Issuer's Common Stock.

          (b) Lawrence J. Schorr has the sole power to vote or to direct the
     vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of shares held

     3,718 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held for the benefit of Lawrence

     Acquisition on March 23, 1995. WMI Acquisition is a wholly owned subsidiary
     of Waste Management, Inc. ("WMI"). Mr. Schorr has not effected any other

              RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

          The tender offer by WMI Acquisition pursuant to which the shares held
     by the Levene, Gouldin & Thompson Retirement Plan for the benefit of Mr.
     Schorr were sold to WMI Acquisition was made in accordance with the terms
     and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 17,
     1995 (the "Merger Agreement") among the Issuer, WMI and WMI Acquisition.
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the time of the Merger, Mr. Schorr,
     along with all other holders of outstanding stock options to purchase
     shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, will be entitled to receive a cash
     payment from the Issuer in an amount equal to the excess of the per share
     price paid to holders of the Issuer's Common Stock pursuant to the Merger
     ($11.50 per share) over the per share exercise price of the stock options,

     options.
