Directors' Compensation

Directors of the Company who are also employees are not  separately  compensated
for their services as directors.  Fee  arrangements  with other directors of the
Company are as follows: (i) Mr. Andre and Mr. Hirschfeld,  $30,000 each per year
for all  services as a director  and member of various  committees  and (ii) Mr.
Robbins,  $135,000  for all  services  as  Chairman  of the Board and  member of
various committees. Mr. Topfer received $27,500 prior to his resignation for all
services  as a director  and member of various  committees.  Directors  are also
reimbursed  for their  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred  on Company
business.

During  fiscal  year  1999,  the  following  stock  option  grants  were made to
directors:  (i) Mr. Andre received 4,286 stock options with an exercise price of
$10.50;  (ii) Mr. Hirschfeld received 4,286 stock options with an exercise price
of $9.4063;  (iii) Mr.  Robbins  received  4,286 stock  options with an exercise
price of $3.9375  and (iv) Mr.  Topfer  received  4,286  stock  options  with an
exercise  price of $7.1092  which were  cancelled  along with the balance of his
stock options as a result of his resignation from the Board of Directors.  Under
current  policy,  non-employee  directors  receive  grants of 8,572  shares upon
appointment to the Board of Directors and 4,286 shares on each  anniversary date
of their original  appointment  to the Board of Directors.  All of these options
are granted at fair  market  value on grant date,  vest  immediately  and have a
five-year term.

Effective  July 1, 1997, the Company  entered into  employment  agreements  (the
"Agreements")  with Mr.  DiCesare and Mr.  Kirschbaum  (each an  "Employee"  and
collectively  the  "Employees")  pursuant to which each  Employee  will be a New
York-based employee and will work on major strategic  transactions involving the
Company or its affiliates, including mergers, acquisitions,  divestitures, joint
ventures, the negotiation of strategic alliances or relationships and financings
and  refinancings.  The  Employees  are  not  expected  to be  involved  in  the
day-to-day  operations of the Company,  are not expected to devote  full-time to
the business of the Company and may engage in outside activities,  although they
may not directly compete with the Company. The Agreements, which have an initial
term  extending  through  July  1,  2002  (the  "Term")  and  may be  terminated
thereafter  by either  party on notice,  provide for each  Employee to receive a
base  salary of  $150,000  (with  inflation  increases  each  year)  and  annual
performance  bonuses  (each a  "Bonus")  based  upon  annual  performance  goals
determined  by the  Board  of  Directors  and the  Employee  (which  goals  will
generally relate without  limitation to transactions of the type mentioned above
involving the Company (and/or one or more of its affiliates)) and a target Bonus
amount (and/or an appropriate  minimum amount).  More than one Bonus may be paid
with respect to each employment year. If the Board of Directors and the Employee
cannot agree upon reasonable annual  performance goals and minimum and/or target
Bonuses with respect to such goals for any year, the performance goals and Bonus
amounts set forth in clauses  (ii) and (iii) of the next  paragraph  will be the
goals and Bonus for such year.  If a goal is only  partially  achieved  within a
year, the Board of Directors will determine what amount, if any, will be paid to
the Employee with respect to such goal. If a goal is achieved,  the Bonuses will
be  payable  regardless  of the  level  of  the  Employee's  involvement  in the
transaction.  Upon  termination  of any  Employee's  Agreement  for  any  reason
(including for "cause" (as such term is defined in the Agreements)), the Company
may be required to pay Bonuses to such Employee  following such termination upon
achievement of performance goals within specified periods ending up to 21 months
after the Term.  In  addition,  if the Company  terminates  an Employee  without
"cause",  or an Employee leaves the Company's employ for "good reason" (as these
terms are defined in the  Agreements),  the Employee will be entitled to receive
for each  remaining  year of the Term an amount  equal to the highest  aggregate
Bonuses  paid  in any  previous  year  as  well as the  base  salary  and  other
compensation provided for by the Agreements.

For the year  beginning July 1, 1997,  the  performance  goals for each Employee
were: (i) the completion by the Company  (and/or one or more of its  affiliates)
of a refinancing  transaction or  substantially  similar  transaction,  (ii) the
closing of a "significant merger" with a value of at least $60 million and (iii)
the closing of a "significant  financing"  with a value of at least $50 million.
Upon the  achievement  of the  performance  goal set forth in clause (ii),  each
Employee was to receive a minimum Bonus of $200,000. Upon the achievement of the
performance  goal set forth in clause  (iii),  each  Employee  was to  receive a
minimum  Bonus of at least  $125,000.  No  bonuses  were paid in  respect to any
clause  for the  fiscal  year 1999.  The Board has  carried  over the goals from
fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1999. In addition to the Bonuses,  the Agreements  provide
that  the  Board  of  Directors,  in its  sole  discretion,  may  grant  further
discretionary  bonuses to the Employees.  No  discretionary  bonuses were earned
during fiscal 1999.

Pursuant  to  the  Agreements,  each  Employee  may  elect  to  restructure  his
relationship with the Company into that of a financial consultant or independent
advisor,   with  compensation   arrangements   reflecting  the  nature  of  such
relationship  and the services to be provided in amounts  reasonably  consistent
with the  compensation  and Bonuses  payable  over the term of the  Agreement as
contemplated therein, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of
Directors,  but  calculated  and  payable in a manner  customary  for  financial
consultant  or  independent  advisor  arrangements.  If the Employee  makes such
election, the Company and the Employee will negotiate in good faith to establish
a restructured agreement with respect to the services to be provided hereunder.

In addition, the Company has agreed to pay KIC during the term of the Agreements
a current amount of $982,000  (subject to annual inflation  increases)  annually
plus  the  cost  of  reasonable  employee  benefits  to its  support  staff  and
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by KIC and its officers and employees
to the extent related directly to the Company's  business or potential  business
(the "KIC  Agreement").  The Company  will have the right to  terminate  the KIC
Agreement  upon 12  months'  notice  if Mr.  Kirschbaum's  employment  under his
Agreement is terminated for any reason other than by the Company without "cause"
or by the  Employee  "for  good  reason"  (as  such  terms  are  defined  in the
Agreements).

for corporate  officers,  participation  in the Company's  cash bonus program at

cause.

The Company was party to an employment agreement with Mr. Schweinfurth which has
since  expired and  generally  provided  for a base salary of $250,000  per year
through and including  June 1999,  participation  in the Company's  compensation
programs for  corporate  officers,  participation  in the  Company's  cash bonus
program at amounts determined by the Board of Directors,  and severance benefits
of one year's base salary had Mr.  Schweinfurth  been  terminated  prior to June
1999 without cause.

Compensation  Committee  Interlocks and Insider  Participation  in  Compensation
Decisions

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,  the  Compensation  Committee of the
Board of Directors of the Company met five times. The Compensation  Committee is

During the fiscal year, the entire Board of Directors generally  participated in
deliberations  concerning the compensation of the Company's  executive officers.

Company or any  subsidiary  during the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1999 or is a
former officer of the Company or any subsidiary.

The Company has hired Ray & Berndtson,  Inc., an international  executive search
firm, of which Mr. Andre is a partner,  to perform certain  personnel  searches.
The Company  paid a total of $609,000  during  fiscal year 1999 for the searches
conducted  by this  firm.  The  final  fee for the  searches  will be based on a
percentage of the first-year  compensation paid to certain personnel if and when
hired.

The Company  paid fees to Milbank,  Tweed,  Hadley & McCloy,  LLP, a law firm in
which Mr.  Hirschfeld  is a partner,  for services  rendered  during fiscal year
