* Less than 10% of the total salary and bonus reported for such officer.

(1) Mr. Kornberg's amounts in fiscal 1994 and 1993 consist of an automobile allowance and accrued vacation and sick days not used. With respect to Mr. Higgins, the amount in fiscal 1995 represents payments for unused accrued vacation and sick days and an automobile allowance.

(2) Mr. Kornberg is employed pursuant to an agreement which was amended and restated in August 1992 for the purpose of, among other things, extending his employment for an additional five years. As so amended, the agreement provides, among other things, for his employment until August 1997 at a current basic compensation rate of $185,000 per annum and incentive compensation, not to exceed his basic compensation, equal to 1% of the Company's pre-tax income plus such additional amounts as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Fifty percent of any such incentive compensation is payable to Mr. Kornberg in the November following the fiscal year to which such compensation relates, an additional 25% is payable on the first anniversary of the initial 50% payment, and the final 25% is payable on the second anniversary of the initial payment. If Mr. Kornberg voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company other than after a Change in Control (as defined in his employment agreement), or if the Company terminates his employment due to disability or for cause, he will forfeit his right to receive accrued but unpaid incentive compensation. If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, Mr. Kornberg is entitled to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment (subject to possible adjustments to avoid the characterization of the payment as excess parachute payments and the consequent imposition of taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) equal to the sum of (i) his then basic compensation for the balance of the employment period or three times his basic compensation, whichever is greater, (ii) accrued but unpaid incentive compensation with respect to prior fiscal years and
(iii) if he so elects, the market value less the applicable exercise price, of any stock option then held by him. The aggregate of (i), (ii) and
(iii), as of October 17, 1995, would have been $581,228. Mr. Kornberg would also be entitled to receive benefits under the Company's benefit plans, or substantially equal benefits, for the remainder of the employment period.

(3) Pursuant to his amended employment agreement and after stockholder approval, Mr. Kornberg purchased 50,000 forfeitable shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $.50 per share. The closing sale price of the Common Stock on August 20, 1992, the date the Company and Mr. Kornberg contracted for the sale and purchase of such shares, was $4.25. The shares are subject to forfeiture in full if Mr. Kornberg voluntarily terminates his employment prior to August 1997 (except after a Change in Control as defined in the employment agreement) or if the Company terminates his employment for Cause (as defined in the employment agreement). If dividends were to be declared on the Company's Common Stock, these shares which constitute the aggregate restricted stock holdings of Mr. Kornberg, would be entitled to receive such dividends along with all other outstanding shares.

(4) Mr. Windus, Mr. Burt and Mr. Higgins are eligible to receive, in addition to their respective base compensation amounts, incentive compensation of up to 2.5% of the relevant subsidiary's pre-tax profits and Mr. Javits is eligible to receive up to 15% of his base compensation, based principally upon the attainment of various goals. These goals which may include target levels of sales, pre-tax profits, customer orders or cash flow, are developed by senior management and submitted to the Executive Compensation Committee for annual approval.
