                   b.    Funds to Buy Tree and Advances to Tree                       
               On May 25, 1987, LTL asked LIIBV to make a $20 million loan            
          to LAC on May 28, 1987.  As stated at par. I-C-1, above, LTL used           
          LAC to buy Monroe, which became Tree.  On May 27, 1987, LAC and             
          LTI signed loan agreements with LIIBV, which had the same terms             
          as LIIBV's July 7, 1987, agreements with LWSI and Transit.  LTI             
          guaranteed repayment of the LIIBV advances to Tree.                         
                   c.    LIIBV's September 12, 1988, Board Meeting                    
               On September 12, 1988, the members of LIIBV's board of                 
          directors discussed repayment by Transit, LWSI, and Tree of the             
          advances from LIIBV.  At that time, the advances were due to be             
          repaid on September 1, 1989.  The board decided to extend the               
          repayment date.  The minutes for that meeting stated that LIIBV's           
          management did not intend to request repayment.                             
               6. Repayment of Principal                                              
               Petitioners did not repay any principal to LIIBV from the              
          date of the initial advance in December 1985 to October 1989.               
          Petitioners repeatedly extended the due date for most of the                
          principal amounts that petitioners owed to LIIBV.                           
               Up until the time of trial, petitioners and their                      
          subsidiaries had not reduced the total unpaid balances that they            
          owed to LIIBV below the $975,153,806 which was outstanding as of            
          August 31, 1988.
