being  the  holder of  approximately  8.9% of the  outstanding  shares of Common

          Thomas J. Long and Longs  Drug  Stores  (the  "Agreement"),  shares of
          Common Stock held by or acquired by the Foundation  after the death of
          Thomas J. Long are subject to certain restrictions regarding the sale,

          day period  following the death of Thomas J. Long, and within each 270
          day period following each of the first nine anniversaries of the death

          is determined in accordance  with the Agreement at the adjusted market
          value of such shares of Common Stock as defined in the Agreement.  The

          Common  Stock held by it in the event of a tender offer or an exchange
          offer for the Common  Stock.  If Longs Drug Stores  fails,  refuses or

          be  free of any  rights  or  options  of  Longs  Drug  Stores  and the
          Foundation may deal with such Common Stock, and exercise all rights of
          ownership  with  respect  thereto,  free  from the  provisions  of the
