                 Lehman Brothers Offshore Partners Ltd. ("Offshore"), a Bermuda
                 corporation

                 the Japan Partnership.  It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
                 Group.

                 Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), a Delaware
                 corporation

outstanding shares of Holdings and was a control person.  On May 31, 1994, AMEX

laws.

                 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
                 Commission ("SEC") since January 1, 1994 to have contained any

                 contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they

any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same
effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
