aggregate of $4,450,446, and payment of $12,500 in fees and expenses. The Stock Purchase Agreement and a

Common Stock before April 27, 1985 or more than 25,000 shares of Common Stock for ten years, and that t hey
will not engage in a proxy contest for ten years. In addition, if prior to September 4, 1986, the Corporation or an
affiliate makes a self-tender or effects a merger, consolidation or similar busi ness combination in which
stockholders receive more than $70.98 per share, the Corporation will pay MPI, on a per share basis, cash
and/or property equal to any such excess.
According to information contained in a Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed on May 8,
1984, with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Corporation by MPI, MAXXAM

MPI; MCO Holdings, Inc. ("MCO") owned approximately 37.7% of the common stock of MGI; Federated
Development Company ("Federated") and related persons owned approximately 63% of the total voting powe r
of MCO; and Charles E. Hurwitz, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Fe derated, MCO and
MGI, and director of MPI, owned beneficially approximately 52.5% of the shares of beneficial interest in
Federated. The Schedule 13D stated that

§24.7 76 PROXY STATEMENIS: SMATEGY & FORMCharles E. Hurwitz and/or Dr. George Kozmetsky (who owned beneficially approximately 5.4%
of the shares of beneficial interest in Federated) may have been deemed to possess, indirectly, sole
and/or shared voting power to vote the shares of Common Stock which were owned by MPI and
were sold to the Corporation pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Repurchase of Common Stock On January 19, 1988, the Company repurchased 1,062,950 shares of its Common Stock, amounting to
approximately 27% of all then-outstanding shares, from eight shareholders, including Edward Kane, the
Company's founder and former chairman and chief executive officer, Kane Steel Co., Clifford G. Kane, Martin
C. Kane, Patricia Kane, Shawn Kane, Lise Kane and Martin Kane, Custodian for Jessica Kane (collectively, the
"Selling Shareholders"). The address of the Selling Shareholders is c/o Kane Steel Co., South 12t h Street,
P.R.S.L., Millville, New Jersey 08332. The purchase price for the shares was $9.875 per share, or $10,496,631
in the aggregate, payable in a combination of cash ($1,574,495) and notes ($8,922,136 principal amount) of the
Company. The notes, which bore interest at a rate per annum equal to two percentage points above the prime
rate, have been paid in full. In addition, the Company issued to the Selling Sharehol ders six-year warrants to
purchase up to a maximum of 300,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $14.50 per sha re, subject
to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Selling Shareholders exercising any of these warrant s are required to
deliver to the Company an irrevocable proxy providing that the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such
exercise shall be voted on any matter in the same proportion as the vote on such m atter cast by all other
shareholders of the Company. None of these warrants has been exercised, but because all of the se warrants are
presently exercisable the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be the benefi cial owners of 9.4% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

major loans.
The Order addresses the following matters:
1. Future compliance by Shoreline with applicable limits on loans to any one borrower, the re duction of any of
Shoreline's outstanding loans which exceed applicable limits on loans to one borrower and the implementation
of a system to monitor and record the amount of outstanding loans to any one borrower;
2. Restrictions on the origination or extension of any loans to Melvin G. Heide or any of his associates or
affiliates without the prior written consent of the FHLBB-,
3. Compliance with applicable laws and FHLBB pronouncements concerning avoidance of confli cts of
interest and the development of internal guidelines for the avoidance of conflicts of interest-,
4. Preparation of underwriting and administration policies and procedures for all commercia l loans and
all investments in real estate by Shoreline and future adherence thereto,
5. Preparation of appropriate loan documentation before disbursing funds for any future commercial
loans or investments in real estate;
6. Designation of qualified employees or other qualified persons to review appraisal reports which have
been prepared according to applicable requirements which contain sufficient data to substantiate the market
value of the property being appraised-,
7. Implementation of procedures for the approval of any loan or investment in real estate which involves
sums in excess of $500,000;
8. Minimum requirements for any commercial loan originated or purchased by Shoreline which will
have periodic disbursements from a loan in process account over the term of project;
9. Compliance with the FHLBB disbursement documentation requirements with respect to all loans
secured by real estate; and
10. Preparation and maintenance of a separate register for outstanding commercial loans purchased or
sold by Shoreline.
