ITEM 6. OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON
Of the 8,187,590 shares of Common Stock reported herein by Mr.
Rainwater, 5,159,480 are owned directly by Mr. Rainwater, 109,324 shares are
owned directly by Rainwater, Inc., of which Mr. Rainwater is the sole
shareholder, 247,710 shares (of which Mr. Rainwater disclaims beneficial
ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-4) are owned directly by Mr. Rainwater's spouse
and 2,671,076 shares are the subject of a proxy granted to Mr. Rainwater, which
is described in more detail below. Thus, Rainwater, Inc. and Mr. Rainwater's
spouse have the right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of, 109,324 shares and 247,710
shares, respectively, of Common Stock. In addition, the owner of the shares
subject to the proxy described below, has the right to receive and the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds from the sale of,
2,671,076 shares of Common Stock.
Van Beuren Enterprises, L.L.C. ("Van Beuren"), a former limited
partner of DNR-MESA Holdings, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("DNR"),
granted an irrevocable proxy (the "Proxy") to Mr. Rainwater, dated September 2,
1998. The Proxy appoints Mr. Rainwater as Van Beuren's attorney and proxy with
full power of substitution, and authorizes Mr. Rainwater to represent and
exercise all rights relating to the voting power of all shares of Common Stock
now or hereafter standing in the name of Van Beuren, including voting at any
meeting of stockholders (and at any adjournment thereof), making demand for a
special meeting or meeting of stockholders or expressing consent or dissent to
any corporate action in writing without a meeting, in each case in such manner
as Mr. Rainwater shall determine to be appropriate.
The 2,671,076 shares currently subject to the Proxy were received by
Van Beuren as a liquidating distribution in respect of its limited partnership
interest in DNR. Prior to the liquidating distribution made by DNR, Mr.
Rainwater, in his capacity as the sole shareholder of the sole general partner
of DNR, held indirect voting and investment power over such shares. Under the
terms of the Proxy, Van Beuren maintains exclusive investment power over such
shares, including the right to dispose of such shares from time to time at its
discretion. Any shares disposed of by Van Beuren shall cease to be subject to
the Proxy. The Proxy provides that it is irrevocable and shall continue in
effect until the earlier of (i) Van Beuren's disposition of all shares of
Common Stock, (ii) Mr. Rainwater's disposition of all shares of Common Stock in
which he has a pecuniary interest, (iii) the death or disability of Mr.
Rainwater, (iv) the date of relinquishment of the proxy by Mr. Rainwater, or
(v) the third anniversary of the date of the Proxy.
