13d-1(b)(2), if applicable, exceeds five percent, provide the following
information as of that date and identify those shares which there is a right to

      (a)-(b)

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), Doubletree, Mr. DeBoer, the Fix
Partnership, Mr. Fix, the Alexander Trust and the Christopher Trust
(collectively, the "Initial Holders") may be deemed to be a "group."(1)  By

(1)  On September 30, 1996, the Initial Stockholders entered into a
     Stockholders Agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement"). Pursuant to the
     Stockholders Agreement, the Initial Stockholders were granted the right to,
     among other things, nominate directors to the Company's Board of Directors.
     The Company's Board of Directors consists of six directors, two of which
     are not affiliated with any Initial Stockholder. Pursuant to the
     Stockholders Agreement, each of JPD Corporation and the Fix Partnership,
     acting jointly, and Doubletree are entitled to nominate one-half of the
     number of directors, other than the unaffiliated directors.  Each of the
     Initial Stockholders has agreed to vote its shares of Common Stock in favor
     of individuals nominated pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement.  The
     Stockholders Agreement also provides the Initial Stockholders with "veto
     rights" with respect to certain actions by the Company and its
     subsidiaries, including amendments to the Company's charter documents,
     acquisitions, capital expenditures, redemption of stock, dividend payments,
     issuance of stock, incurrence of indebtedness and affiliate transactions.
     The Stockholders Agreement also provides the Initial Stockholders with
     certain purchase rights with respect to future sales of Common Stock or
     securities convertible into Common Stock.
