affiliate, exercises voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares
acquired by MSRESSF I, MSRESSF II  and the Clients. 

      Except as disclosed herein, none of MSGI, MSAM, MSRESSF I nor MSRESSF II
has  effected any transactions in Common Shares during the preceding 60 days.  

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to
Securities of the Issuer.

      Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement MSGI has been granted the
right to designate one individual acceptable to the Issuer to be nominated as a
member of the Board of Trust Managers of the Issuer, and the Issuer will
recommend such individual for election to the Board of Trust Managers. MSGI has

designated an employee of MSAM to be elected as a member of the Board of Trust
Managers of the Issuer.

      If MSGI does not have a representative on the Board of Trust Managers of
the Issuer, the Issuer must permit a representative of MSGI to attend, but not
vote, as an observer at each meeting of the Board of Trust Managers or any
committee meeting of the Board of Trust Managers of the Issuer. The right to
designate a person for election to the board or to be an observer is not
transferable to any person other than an affiliate of MSGI.

     MSGI has been granted, and MSRESSF I and MSRESSF II and the Clients have  
been assigned by MSGI, certain preemptive rights to acquire that portion of
Common Shares (or other securities exchangeable or convertible into Common
Shares or rights or warrants to acquire Common Shares) that are offered by the
Issuer for cash that will permit MSGI, MSRESSF I, MSRESSF II and the Clients
collectively to acquire sufficient Common Shares that they will own in the
aggregate up to 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Shares (or up to 25%
if an offering of Common Shares is for less than $9.00 per share or if the
exercise, conversion or exchange price is less than $9.00 per share).  

      Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 14, 1997, by
and among the Issuer, MSGI, PERA and the other stockholders identified therein,
the Issuer is required to effect a shelf registration, subject to certain
conditions, of shares of the Common Shares of the Issuer held by MSGI, MSRESSF I
MSRESSF II and the Clients promptly after September 14, 1997. Moreover, subject 
to certain conditions, the shares of Common Shares held by MSGI, MSRESSF I, 
MSRESSF II and the Clients may be included in the registration of the Issuer's 
Common Shares when the Issuer proposes to register its Common Shares or the 
shares of other holders of Common Shares.

      Except for the investment management agreement entered into by each of
MSRESSF I, MSRESSF II and the Clients, each of which grants voting and
dispositive control over the Common Shares to MSAM, there exist no contracts, 
arrangements, understandings or relations (legal or otherwise) between MSGI, 
MSRESSF I, MSRESSF II and the Clients and other persons with respect to
finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, 
guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or 
withholding of proxies.
