                685,000 (includes 185,000 shares over which Onex has
                     voting control pursuant to proxies executed in its favor)

0                                   

             (iv)   Shared Power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                      685,000 (includes 185,000 shares over which a wholly-owned
                     subsidiary of Onex has voting control pursuant to proxies
executed in its favor)              

            FCI is the direct beneficial owner of 500,000 of the shares of
              Common Stock reported. Onex, as the indirect owner of the equity
             of FCI, is an indirect beneficial owner of all such shares. Mr.
               Schwartz is the indirect holder of all the issued and outstanding
               Multiple Voting Shares of Onex, which are entitled to elect sixty
           percent (60%) of the members of Onex's Board of Directors and
              carry such number of votes in the aggregate as represents 60% of
              the aggregate votes attached to all voting shares of Onex and is
            thus an indirect beneficial owner of the shares reported. Onex
             DHC has disposed of all of its shares of Common Stock. On April
       18, 1997, FCI purchased 500,000 shares of Common Stock in
         connection with the public offering of such shares. Certain
          stockholders of the Company, owning 185,000 shares of Common
             Stock, have granted to Onex a proxy to vote their shares in the
          same manner as Onex. As a result of such voting arrangement,
             each of the signatories to this statement may be deemed to be a
     member of a group that beneficially owns all the shares
          beneficially owned by the members of such group. Each of the
               signatories to this statement disclaims membership in such group.
