other  securities  of the Company or sell or otherwise  dispose of any or all of
the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company beneficially owned
by such persons.  Inasmuch as each of the three  families  comprising the Filing
Persons may have different investment goals, action taken by any one such family
may be different from the action or inaction of the other families,  Stanmore or
Stanmore Corporation.  The Filing Persons may take any other action with respect
to the Company or any of its debt or equity  securities in any manner  permitted
by law.

         Except as disclosed in this Item 4, the Filing  Persons have no current
