          Common Stock: 7,400,000 shares were offered in the U.S. and Canada by 
          U.S. Underwriters; and 1,850,000 shares were offered outside the U.S. 
          and Canada by the International Managers (the "Offering").

          Before the Offering, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned
          an aggregate of 10,020,000 shares of Common Stock of L-3
          Communications. The percentage of such beneficial ownership
          was 36.6%. Of the 9,250,000 shares of Common Stock being
          offered in the Offering, the Reporting Persons offered an
          aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock: Capital

          (d)  Neither the Reporting Persons nor to the best knowledge of the
               Reporting Persons nor any of the persons listed in Appendix A

Fulco v. Continental  Cablevision.  This civil action was brought in the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts  alleging a violation of
Rule 10b(5) for a material  omission in the disclosure documents  related to a
1989 partnership roll-up in which Shearson Lehman Brothers rendered a fairness
opinion.  The jury rendered a verdict in 1993 jointly against Shearson Lehman
Brothers and Continental  Cablevision, the issuer, for a total of $4.6 million.
The case was settled shortly thereafter.

Lehman Brothers has been involved in a number of civil proceedings which concern
matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business.  Certain of such
proceedings have resulted in findings of  violation  of  federal or state
securities  laws.  Each of these proceedings was settled by Lehman  Brothers
consenting to the entry of an order without admitting or denying the allegations
in the  complaint.  All of such proceedings  are reported and summarized in the
Schedule D to Lehman Brothers Form BD filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which descriptions are hereby incorporated by reference.
