          On June 8, 1993, the effective date of the Issuer's plan of
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan"), Testudo, Tortoise, Chelonian and Unicorn may
be deemed to have received directly an aggregate of 3,201,110 Shares
pursuant to the Plan.  Testudo, Tortoise, Chelonian and Unicorn received
such Shares in exchange for their respective holdings of Issuer's pre-petition 
securities, which securities were purchased with working capital
and funds extended by brokerage firms in connection with margin
transactions effected for Testudo, Tortoise, Chelonian and Unicorn.  Such
Shares are currently pledged as security for loans to Testudo, Tortoise
and Chelonian.

          On August 10, 1994, Registrants commenced purchasing the
additional 325,693 Shares which they may be deemed to beneficially own for

purposes.  Depending upon market conditions, price, availability and other
factors, Registrants may at any time and from time to time acquire
additional Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions with third parties or otherwise.  Registrants also reserve
the right at any time and from time to time to dispose of some or all
Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own.  A registration statement
filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended covering 3,201,110
Shares owned by Registrants other than Mr. Rachesky became effective on
June 21, 1994.

          Mr. Icahn and Mr. Rachesky are directors of Issuer.

representing approximately 22.8% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based
upon the number of Shares reported to be outstanding in Amendment No. 4 to
Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 15, 1994).  Registrants have direct
beneficial ownership of the Shares as follows:

Testudo        99,665                   0.6%

Tortoise       1,848,11                 12.0%

Mr. Rachesky   75,000                   0.5%

</TABLE>

          Mr. Icahn (by virtue of his relationships to the other
Registrants, as disclosed in Item 2) may be deemed to beneficially own (as
that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), the  Shares of which
each of Testudo, Tortoise, Chelonian and Riverdale may be deemed to be the
direct beneficial owner.  Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such
Shares for all other purposes.

          Chelonian (by virtue of its position as sole shareholder of
Testudo and Tortoise), Unicorn (by virtue of its position as sole
shareholder of Chelonian), ACF (by virtue of its position as sole
shareholder of Unicorn), Holding (by virtue of its position as sole
shareholder of ACF), Highcrest (by virtue of its position as sole

herein, neither the directors nor the executive officers of the
Registrants, with the exception of Richard Rubin, beneficially own any
Shares.  Mr. Rubin, the Assistant Secretary of ACF and Highcrest, may be
deemed to directly beneficially own an aggregate of 1,937 Shares,
representing approximately 0.01% of Issuer's outstanding Shares (based
upon the number of Shares reported to be outstanding in Amendment No. 4 to
Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 15, 1994).

          (b)  Each of Testudo, Tortoise, Chelonian and Riverdale has the
sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Shares which it directly beneficially owns.  Each of
Mr. Rachesky and Mr. Rubin also has the sole power to vote or to direct
the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares which
each directly beneficially owns.

          Each of Chelonian, Unicorn, ACF, Holding, Highcrest, IHC and Mr.

the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of Shares which
