                   Class A Common Stock are beneficially owned by the
                   Reporting Persons (of such amount, 1,052,667 shares
                   of Class A Common Stock are issuable upon conversion
                   of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by
                   the Reporting Persons and 371,813 shares of Class A

                   $.01 par value (the "Series A Preferred") held by
                   the Reporting Persons).  The number of shares of
                   Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
                   Series A Preferred assumes the occurrence of a
                   voluntary conversion on December 28, 1995, the date
                   the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership
                   of the shares of Series A Preferred.

              (b)  Percent of Class:  13.3% of Class A Common

                   outstanding Class B Common Stock beneficially owned
                   by the Reporting Persons plus issuance of 371,813
                   shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of
                   the Series A Preferred held by the Reporting
                   Persons assuming further that the voluntary
                   conversion of Series A Preferred occurred on
                   December 28, 1995).  The Reporting Persons believe
                   that approximately 10,726,432 shares of Class A
                   Common Stock were outstanding on December 31, 1995
                   and the percentage of ownership has been computed
                   utilizing such number of shares.
