ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP.
Messrs. McVaney, Newman and Thompson (each a "Stockholder" and
collectively the "Stockholders") and the Company entered into an Amended and
Restated Stockholders Agreement dated August 20, 1997 (the "Agreement"). All
of the shares of Common Stock covered by this statement are subject to the
Agreement, which provides that Messrs. Newman and Thompson must cast their
votes in the same proportion as the votes cast by Mr. McVaney with respect to
certain significant corporate issues, such
<PAGE> 6
CUSIP No. 281667 10 5 Page 6 of 9
as any (i) revision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) merger,
consolidation, share exchange or similar event; (iii) sale or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; (iv) dissolution or
liquidation of the Company; or (v) bankruptcy filing for the Company. In
addition, the Agreement provides that each Stockholder must vote for the
election of each of the other Stockholders to the Company's Board of Directors
or a designee appointed by such other Stockholder. Messrs. McVaney, Newman and
Thompson directly own 34,301,494 shares, 9,886,530 shares and 11,737,498 shares
of Common Stock, respectively. Excluding the provisions of the Agreement
described above, each Stockholder may vote such shares as he chooses, and each
Stockholder has sole dispositive power of such shares. However, because the
Agreement affects the ability of the Stockholders to vote their shares in
certain circumstances, to determine their beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule
13d-3, the Stockholders must aggregate their share holdings. Nevertheless,
except for the shares owned directly by each Stockholder, the filing of this
statement should not be construed as an admission by any Stockholder that such
person is the owner of the other securities covered by this statement.
Based on information provided by the Company, there were 93,890,446
shares outstanding on December 31, 1997.
