COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires the Company's
executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10%
of the Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership, and reports
of changes of ownership, of the Company's equity securities with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and furnish copies of those reports to the Company.
Based solely on a review of the copies of the reports furnished to the Company
to date, or written representations that no reports were required, the Company
believes that all reports required to be filed by such persons with respect to
the Company's fiscal year ending November 3, 1995 were timely made, except that
James J. Groberg filed one report late with respect to one transaction.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company is a party to employment agreements dated as of May 1, 1987
with William Shaw and Jerome Shaw. The agreements, as amended, provide for the
continued employment of each in his present executive capacity at an annual base
salary, which is presently $355,000 (subject to increases and additional
compensation, including bonuses, from time-to-time, at the discretion of the
Board of Directors), until the April 30 which is five years next following the
giving by either the Company or the executive of notice to terminate such
employment. The agreements also provide for service thereafter for the remainder
of the executive's life as a consultant to the Company for annual consulting
fees equal to 75% for the first ten years of the consulting period, and 50% for
the remainder of the consulting period, of his base salary as in effect
immediately prior to the commencement of the consulting period. Upon the death
of the executive, the Company will pay to his beneficiary a death benefit equal
to three times his annual base salary at the date of death (if his death shall
have occurred while employed as an executive), 2.25 times his annual base salary
at the end of his employment as an executive (if his death shall have occurred
during the first ten years of the consulting period) or 1.5 times his annual
base salary at the end of his employment as an executive (if his death shall
have occurred during the remainder of the consulting period). Each employment
agreement permits the executive to accelerate the commencement of the consulting
period if a "change in control" (as defined in the agreements) of the Company
shall occur or if the Company's office where the executive presently performs
his principal services shall be relocated to a different geographical area.

         The Company is also a party to an employment agreement dated as of May
1, 1987, as amended, with Irwin B. Robins, providing for his continued
employment as Senior Vice President and head of the Company's Legal Department
until April 30, 1996. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Robins is entitled to
receive an annual base salary, which is presently $215,000 (subject to increases
and additional compensation, including bonuses, from time-to-time, at the
discretion of the Board of Directors). The agreement also provides that, if a
"change in control" (as defined in the agreement) of the Company shall occur and
thereafter Mr. Robins shall elect to terminate his employment within two years
after the occurrence of certain events (which generally are adverse changes in
his compensation, position, function or location), or if his employment shall be
terminated by the Company for any reason other than death, incapacity or "cause"
(as defined in the agreement), Mr. Robins will be entitled to receive (a) his
regular compensation, including benefits, through the date on which his
employment terminates, and (b) a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to 2.99
times his "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986). Mr. Robins will not be obligated to mitigate the payment
of the lump sum with any compensation received from other employment, and will
not be required to seek any such other employment for mitigation purposes.

         Under the three employment agreements described above, William Shaw,
Jerome Shaw and Irwin B. Robins are prohibited from engaging in any business
competitive with the Company, competing with the Company for its customers or
encouraging employees of the Company to leave their employment. These
restrictions apply for the duration of the respective agreements and for one
year thereafter if the executive's employment shall have been terminated by the
Company "for cause" (as defined in his agreement). William Shaw and Jerome Shaw
will not be bound by these restrictions after a "change in





                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
control" (as defined) of the Company shall have occurred if, during their
respective consulting periods, they shall elect to terminate their respective
employment agreements and thereby relinquish any further payments or other
benefits thereunder.
