                  330,305  shares  of  Star  Common  Stock  are  owned
                  directly by Coss.  These shares are also subject to a
                  pledge  made to secure  Coss'  obligation  to repay a
                  $345,000  loan made by Arbor  Healthcare  Holding LLC

                  shared dispositive power with Arbor Health over these
                  shares.  Coss has  granted  to Star  the  irrevocable
                  proxy to vote these  shares for a  five-year  period,
                  subject to early  termination  if any shares are sold
                  pursuant to  registration  rights  granted by Star to
                  Coss or  pursuant  to sales made  under  Rules 144 or
                  145.  Arbor  Health is also filing a Schedule  13D in
                  connection with these shares concurrently herewith.

Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

                  Coss has agreed not to dispose of its shares for a two year
                  period, except pursuant to registration rights granted by 
                  Star, sales permitted pursuant to Rule 144 or 145 or in a 
                  private transaction in which the transferee becomes bound to
                  the terms of a shareholders  agreement  with Star,  providing,
                  inter alia, for the voting of shares pursuant to the
                  irrevocable proxy described in item number 5 above.

                  time, a demand registration right until March 9, 2000. Coss

                  cover any potential damages as a result of representations
