Schneider and 12 other members of their family, including certain affiliated entities, entered into a voting trust agreement in June 1982. Pursuant to the trust agreement, as amended, all shares of the Issuer's former Class A voting Common Stock (now Common Stock) held by such individuals and entities were initially deposited into the Voting Trust created thereunder. Each depositor and beneficiary holding Voting Trust certificates issued thereunder (which now includes 12 other members (or affiliated trusts) of the Schneider family) also agreed to transfer to the Voting Trust all shares of Common Stock thereafter acquired, provided that no such depositor or beneficiary is required to transfer, assign or set over to the trustees shares of Common Stock acquired by gift on or after January 15, 1994 from George W. or Virginia F. Schneider. Under the Voting Trust, the five trustees (currently, George W. Schneider, Virginia F. Schneider, Joseph P. Schneider, Steven M. Schneider and Patrick Greene), acting by majority action, are vested with the exclusive right to sell, transfer or dispose of the deposited shares and to vote such deposited shares in their discretion on all matters on which such shares are Page 5 of 9 Pages - ----------------------------------------------------- CUSIP No. 505688 10 1 - ----------------------------------------------------- entitled to vote; provided, however, that in the event of a proposed recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or a comparable transaction, in addition to the necessary vote of the trustees, any such action shall also require the affirmative vote or consent of the beneficiaries holding Voting Trust certificates representing at least 75% of the aggregate number of votes of the then deposited shares. The beneficiaries are also entitled to receive all cash dividends or other distributions (other than in capital stock of the Issuer) declared and paid on the deposited shares. The deposited shares may only be withdrawn from the Voting Trust by a beneficiary prior to the expiration or termination of the Voting Trust if the trustees allow such withdrawal; provided, however, that on January 31 of each year each principal beneficiary automatically receives 10,000 shares. The Voting Trust continues in effect until April 1, 2005, and thereafter for an additional five-year period if the trustees so elect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the Issuer does not survive, a liquidation of the Issuer, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or a sale of all of the Common Stock held by the trustees under the Voting Trust, the Voting Trust shall automatically terminate. Additionally, the Voting Trust may be terminated at any time prior to the expiration thereof by the trustees with the affirmative vote or consent of the beneficiaries holding Voting Trust certificates representing at least 75% of the aggregate number of votes of the then deposited shares.
