     Pursuant to the Plan, holders of Senior Debentures and/or Subordinated Debentures and Class A Stock on September 2, 1997 received shares of Common Stock in exchange for releasing the Company from its obligations under the debentures and the Class A Stock. The Reporting Persons received 1,666,943 shares of Common Stock from the Company under this Plan in exchange for its release of the Company from its obligations to the Reporting Persons under the $25,636,326 principal amount of Senior Debentures (1,435,634 shares of Common Stock), the $8,207,441 principal amount of Subordinated Debentures (229,808 shares of Common Stock) and the $150,000 of Class A Stock (1,500 shares of Common Stock) held by the Reporting Persons on September 2, 1997.
