A Consulting Fee of $100,000 was paid by the Company to Alpine Capital, Inc. in connection with the transaction. The shares were sold under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on investment representations and other representations made by the Purchasers in connection with the sale. On October 7, 1996, the closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock as reported in the Wall Street Journal was $6.75 per share. The principal amount of the Debentures bear interest at the rate of 7% per year and is payable on September 30, 1998. The Debentures are convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate equal to the lesser of $8.50 (subject to adjustment in the case of certain dilutive issuances) and the average closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. The Purchasers may convert up to 50% of the Debentures commencing on the 60th day following the date of issuance provided that a Registration Statement covering the sale of the Class A Common Stock into which the Debentures are convertible has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and up to 100% of the Debentures commencing on the 90th day following the date of issue. The Purchasers are entitled to request on one occasion prior to April 7, 1997 that the Class A Common Stock issued on conversion of the Debentures be registered on Form S-8, and if so requested, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement covering such shares within 45 days after the date of request. The Purchasers made such a request on October 7, 1996.

In addition, the Purchasers have a right of first refusal to purchase certain newly issued securities of the Company for a period of 180 days following issuance of the Debentures. Item 7.
