the trust. All figures set forth in this paragraph are as of
December 31, 1993.
Ownership of all of the shares of the issuer held in the
foregoing six sub-trusts is in a single voting trust, the Jordan
Voting Trust, which terminates in 1996. Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Grimm
and Mr. Taylor are the voting trustees under the Jordan Voting
Trust and share all voting rights with respect to the shares held
in the Voting Trust. Dispositive power with respect to such
shares is shared by the same three persons as trustees under the
Jordan Will. Voting trust units have been issued by the Jordan
Voting Trust to the trustees under the Jordan Will for the
benefit of each of the six individual or group beneficiaries
under the Jordan Will referred to above, in an amount equivalent
to the respective number of shares of the issuer formerly held in
such individual's or group's sub-trust under the Jordan Will.
