                                                 -87-                                                   
            Exhs. 10, 4003.  IRA’s share of the 1979 Hyatt Corp. payment                                
            alone provided IRA with nearly the full $150,000 purchase price                             
            for KWJ Corp.  KWJ Corp.’s contract with Hyatt Corp. was worth                              
            millions of dollars.  Exh. 4003.  By selling KWJ Corp. to IRA,                              
            Weaver gave up 70 percent of his contract rights under the                                  
            Hyatt/KWJ agreement.                                                                        
                  Neither Weaver nor Kanter immediately informed Hyatt Corp.                            
            that IRA had purchased KWJ Corp.  Handelsman, Transcr. at 1136-                             
            1137.  Consequently, Hyatt Corp. continued to send to Weaver                                
            checks made payable to KWJ Corp.  Handelsman, Transcr. at 1136-                             
            1137; Stoga, Transcr. at 813.  From 1977 through 1994, Hyatt                                
            Corp. paid KWJ Corp. approximately $2.5 million pursuant to the                             
            Hyatt/KWJ agreement.  Exhs. 4003, 465, 466, 467, 378, 380, 381;                             
            Stoga, Transcr. at 808-811; Handelsman, Transcr. at 1141, 1143-                             
            1144.  Weaver forwarded each of the Hyatt Corp. payments to                                 
            Kanter.  Exhs. 4003, 373, 9103 (e.g., Weaver letters to Kanter                              
            dated March 29, 1983, and March 12, 1984).  Kanter then returned                            
            30 percent of the Hyatt Corp. fees to Weaver, and IRA deducted                              
            those payments as a commission expense.  Exh. 10, at 16; Exh. 14,                           
            at 7; Exh. 17, at 15-16; Exh. 18, at 20; Ex. 9103 (e.g., TACI                               
            check to Weaver dated March 27, 1984).
