TO THE HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK OF DUPLEX PRODUCTS INC.:
 
                                  INTRODUCTION
 
     Delaware Acquisition Co. (the "PURCHASER"), a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, an Ohio
corporation ("PARENT"), hereby offers to purchase all outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), of Duplex Products
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), and the associated Preferred Stock
Purchase Rights (the "RIGHTS" and, together with the Common Stock, the "SHARES")
issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated June 8, 1989 (the "RIGHTS
AGREEMENT") between the Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, at a price of
$12.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon (the
"OFFER PRICE"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as amended
from time to time, together constitute the "OFFER"). Until the Distribution Date
(as defined herein), the Rights will be evidenced by and trade with the
certificates evidencing the Common Stock. See Section 11 for a brief description
of the Rights Agreement and its application to the Offer and the Merger (as
defined herein).
 
     Tendering Shareholder will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or
commissions or, except as set forth in Instruction 6 of the Letter of
Transmittal, stock transfer taxes on the purchase of Shares pursuant to the
Offer. The Purchaser will pay all charges and expenses of Harris Trust Company
of New York, as Depositary (the "DEPOSITARY"), and Georgeson & Company, Inc., as
Information Agent (the "INFORMATION AGENT"), incurred in connection with the
Offer. See Section 16.
 
     THE OFFER IS CONDITIONED UPON, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THERE HAVING BEEN
VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE OFFER AT LEAST
5,236,895 SHARES (THE "MINIMUM CONDITION"), WHICH CONSTITUTE SEVENTY PERCENT
(70%) OF THE SHARES OUTSTANDING ON A FULLY DILUTED BASIS. THE COMPANY HAS
INFORMED THE PURCHASER THAT, AS OF APRIL 19, 1996, THERE WERE 7,481,278 SHARES
ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING (THERE WERE ALSO 188,000 COMMON SHARES RESERVED FOR
ISSUANCE UPON EXERCISE OF THE OUTSTANDING OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE COMPANY'S
STOCK OPTION PLANS, HOWEVER, THOSE OPTIONS ARE TO BE CANCELLED PURSUANT TO THE
MERGER AGREEMENT; SEE SECTION 11). ASSUMING THE TENDER BY THE TENDERING
SHAREHOLDER OF APPROXIMATELY 2,244,383 SHARES, THE PURCHASER WILL NEED TO
PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL 2,992,512 SHARES TO SATISFY THE MINIMUM CONDITION.
 
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY (THE "BOARD") HAS, BY UNANIMOUS VOTE,
APPROVED EACH OF THE OFFER AND THE MERGER, HAS DETERMINED THAT EACH OF THE OFFER
AND THE MERGER IS FAIR TO AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY'S
SHAREHOLDERS AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS ACCEPT THE OFFER AND
TENDER THEIR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
 
     The Company has advised Parent that Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Company
has delivered to the Board its opinion as to the fairness of the $12.00 per
Share cash consideration to be received by the shareholders of the Company
pursuant to the Offer and the Merger. Copies of the opinion of Duff & Phelps
Capital Markets Company, which sets forth the factors considered and the
assumptions made by Duff & Phelps Capital Markets Company are contained in the
Company's Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the "SCHEDULE
14D-9"), which is being mailed to shareholders herewith.
 
     The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of April 20, 1996 (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), by and among Parent, the
Purchaser and the Company. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other
things, as soon as practicable after the purchase of Shares pursuant to the
Offer and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DELAWARE LAW"), including provisions
under Section 203 of Delaware Law described below relating to the required vote
of unaffiliated
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   4
 
shareholders, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the "MERGER").
Following consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue as the surviving
corporation (the "SURVIVING CORPORATION") and will be a wholly owned subsidiary
of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the "EFFECTIVE TIME"), each
issued and outstanding Share, including the associated Rights, immediately prior
to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in the treasury of the Company or
held by shareholders who shall have demanded and perfected appraisal rights
under Section 262 of Delaware Law) will be converted into the right to receive
the Offer Price, without interest (the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"). The Merger
Agreement is more fully described in Section 11.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that, promptly upon the purchase by the
Purchaser of Shares pursuant to the Offer and from time to time thereafter, the
Purchaser shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded
up to the next whole number, on the Board as will give the Purchaser
representation on the Board equal to the product of the total number of
directors on the Board multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of
Shares then beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates following
such purchase bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding. In the
Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts promptly to
cause the Purchaser's designees to be elected as directors of the Company,
including increasing the size of the Board or securing the resignations of
incumbent directors or both.
 
     The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
certain conditions, including, if required by law, the approval and adoption of
the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company.
See Section 11. Under the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Delaware Law, except as otherwise described below, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares is required to approve and adopt
the Merger Agreement and the Merger. Consequently, if the Purchaser acquires
(pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) at least a majority of the then outstanding
Shares, the Purchaser will have sufficient voting power to approve and adopt the
Merger Agreement and the Merger without the vote of any other shareholder (note
that the Minimum Condition requires a higher percentage of the Shares be
tendered pursuant to the Offer and, if the Minimum Condition is not satisfied,
no assurance can be given that Purchaser will waive the Minimum Condition or
that the Company will grant the required consent to that waiver).
 
     Under Delaware Law, if the Purchaser acquires, pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise, at least 90% of the then outstanding Shares, the Purchaser will be
able to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the Merger, without a vote of the Company's shareholders. In
such event, Parent, the Purchaser and the Company have agreed to take, at the
request of the Purchaser, all necessary and appropriate action to cause the
Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after such acquisition,
without a meeting of the Company's shareholders. If, however, the Purchaser does
not acquire at least 90% of the then outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise and a vote of the Company's shareholders is required under Delaware
Law, a significantly longer period of time will be required to effect the
Merger. See Section 11.
 
     Immediately after the execution of the Merger Agreement, Smith (Donald) &
Company, Inc. entered into a Tender Agreement, dated as of April 20, 1996, with
Parent and the Purchaser (the "TENDER AGREEMENT"). A total of 375,300 Shares, or
approximately 5% of the outstanding Shares calculated on a fully diluted basis,
are covered by the Tender Agreement. Pursuant to the Tender Agreement, the
shareholder has agreed to validly tender pursuant to the Offer and not withdraw
all Shares which are owned of record or beneficially by it prior to the
Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1 below). The Tender Agreement is more
fully described in Section 11. In addition to the Tender Agreement, certain
other shareholders owning collectively 2,419,158 Shares, or approximately 32% of
the outstanding Shares calculated on a fully diluted basis, have expressed their
present intention to tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.
 
     Parent and Andrew A. Campbell, President of the Company ("CAMPBELL"), have
entered into a consulting and non-competition agreement dated as of April 20,
1996 (the "CAMPBELL CONSULTING AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Parent has agreed
to retain Campbell as a consultant for a period of two months from consummation
of the Offer. The Campbell Consulting Agreement replaces a severance agreement
and
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   5
 
other arrangements between Campbell and the Company which would have provided to
Campbell certain "change of control" and severance compensation and benefits.
The Campbell Consulting Agreement is more fully described in Section 11.
 
     Parent and James R. Ramig, Vice President -- Finance and Administration and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company ("RAMIG"), have entered into a consulting
and non-competition agreement dated as of April 20, 1996 (the "RAMIG CONSULTING
AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Parent has agreed to retain Ramig as a consultant
for a period of three months from consummation of the Offer. The Ramig
Consulting Agreement replaces a severance agreement and other arrangements
between Ramig and the Company which would have provided to Ramig certain "change
of control" and severance compensation and benefits. The Ramig Consulting
Agreement is more fully described in Section 11.
 
     The Company and Marc A. Loomer, Vice President, Operations of the Company
("LOOMER"), have entered into an employment and non-competition agreement dated
as of April 20, 1996 (the "LOOMER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to retain Loomer as an employee for a period of one year from
consummation of the Offer and to provide certain other benefits. The Loomer
Employment Agreement replaces a severance agreement and other arrangements
between Loomer and the Company which would have provided to Loomer certain
"change of control" and severance compensation and benefits. The Loomer
Employment Agreement is more fully described in Section 11.
 
     The Company and David B. Preston, Vice President, Sales of the Company
("PRESTON"), have entered into an employment and non-competition agreement dated
as of April 20, 1996 (the "PRESTON EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the
Company has agreed to retain Preston as an employee for a period of one year
from consummation of the Offer and to provide certain other benefits. The
Preston Employment Agreement replaces a severance agreement and other
arrangements between Preston and the Company which would have provided to
Preston certain "change of control" and severance compensation and benefits. The
Preston Employment Agreement is more fully described in Section 11.
 
     The Company and Mark A. Robinson, Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of the Company ("ROBINSON"), have entered into an employment and
non-disclosure agreement dated as of April 20, 1996 (the "ROBINSON EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to retain Robinson as an
employee for a period of one year from consummation of the Offer and to provide
certain other benefits. The Robinson Employment Agreement replaces a severance
agreement and other arrangements between Robinson and the Company which would
have provided to Robinson certain "change of control" and severance compensation
and benefits. The Robinson Employment Agreement is more fully described in
Section 11.
 
     All of the Campbell Consulting Agreement, the Ramig Consulting Agreement,
the Loomer Employment Agreement, the Preston Employment Agreement, and the
Robinson Employment Agreement are expressly conditioned upon consummation of the
Offer.
 
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has amended the Rights
Agreement (the "RIGHTS AMENDMENT") in order to (i) prevent the Merger Agreement,
the Tender Agreement, or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated thereby, including without limitation, the Offer and the Merger,
from resulting in the issuance of Rights or being deemed a trigger event under
the terms of the Rights Agreement and to (ii) provide that neither Parent nor
the Purchaser will be deemed to be an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights
Agreement) by reason of the transactions expressly provided for in the Merger
Agreement and the Tender Agreement. The Rights Amendment will render the Rights
inoperative with respect to any acquisition of Shares by Parent, the Purchaser
or any of their affiliates pursuant to the Merger Agreement and/or the Tender
Agreement. Additionally, the Rights Amendment provides that the Rights Agreement
will terminate immediately prior to the purchase of Shares by Purchaser pursuant

     The Company has informed the Purchaser that, as of April 19, 1996, there
were 7,481,278 Shares issued and outstanding. As a result, as of such date, the
Minimum Condition would be satisfied if the Purchaser acquires 5,236,895 Shares
(as of April 19, 1996 there were also 188,000 Shares reserved for issuance upon
 
                                        3

exercise of the outstanding options granted under the Company's option plans;
however, pursuant to the Merger Agreement those options are to be cancelled --
see Section 11).
 
     THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION WHICH SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH
RESPECT TO THE OFFER.
 
                                THE TENDER OFFER
 
     1. TERMS OF THE OFFER.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions
of any extension or amendment), the Purchaser will accept for payment and pay
for all Shares validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date (as hereinafter
defined) and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4. The term "EXPIRATION
DATE" means 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Friday, May 17, 1996, unless
and until the Purchaser, in its sole discretion (but subject to the terms of the
Merger Agreement), shall have extended the period of time during which the Offer
is open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time
and date at which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchaser, shall expire.
 
     The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, satisfaction of the
Minimum Condition. If the Minimum Condition is not satisfied or any or all of
the other events set forth in Section 14 shall have occurred or shall be
determined by the Purchaser to have occurred prior to the Expiration Date, the
Purchaser reserves the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to
purchase any of the Shares tendered in the Offer and terminate the Offer, and
return all tendered Shares to the Tendering Shareholder, (ii) except for the
Minimum Condition, waive or amend any or all conditions to the Offer, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and the provisions of the Merger Agreement,
and, subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION"), purchase all Shares
validly tendered, or (iii) extend the Offer and, subject to the right of
shareholders to withdraw Shares until the Expiration Date, retain the Shares
which have been tendered during the period or periods for which the Offer is
extended.
 
     The Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, to extend for any reason the period of time during
which the Offer is open, including the occurrence of any of the events specified
in Section 14, by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the
Depositary. During any such extension, all Shares previously tendered and not
withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer, subject to the rights of a tendering
shareholder to withdraw its Shares. See Section 4.
 
     Subject to the applicable regulations of the Commission, the Purchaser also
expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion (but subject to the terms
of the Merger Agreement), at any time and from time to time, (i) to delay
acceptance for payment of, or, regardless of whether such Shares were
theretofore accepted for payment, payment for, any Shares pending receipt of any
regulatory approval specified in Section 15 or in order to comply in whole or in
part with any other applicable law, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept
for payment any Shares if any of the conditions referred to in Section 14 has
not been satisfied or upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 14 and (iii) to waive any condition or otherwise amend the Offer in any
respect by giving oral or written notice of such delay, termination, waiver or
amendment to the Depositary and by making a public announcement thereof.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that, without the consent of the Company, the
Purchaser will not decrease the Offer Price, decrease the number of Shares
sought in the Offer, waive the Minimum Condition, change the form of
consideration payable in the Offer, or modify or add to the stated conditions,
except that if on the Expiration Date (as duly extended, if applicable), all
conditions to the Offer shall not have been satisfied or waived, the Offer may
be extended from time to time until June 15, 1996. In addition, the Merger
Agreement provides that without the consent of the Company, the Offer Price may
be increased and the Offer may be extended to the extent required by law in
connection with such an increase in the Offer Price.
 
     The Purchaser acknowledges that (i) Rule 14e-1(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") requires the Purchaser to
pay the consideration offered or return the Shares
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   7
 
tendered promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer, and (ii) the
Purchaser may not delay acceptance for payment of, or payment for (except as
provided in clause (i)of the first sentence of the second preceding paragraph),
any Shares upon the occurrence of any of the conditions specified in Section 14
without extending the period of time during which the Offer is open.
 
     Any such extension, delay, termination, waiver or amendment will be
followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement thereof, with such
announcement in the case of an extension to be made no later than 9:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled
Expiration Date. Subject to applicable law (including Rules 14d-4(c), 14d-6(d)
and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which require that material changes be
promptly disseminated to shareholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform
them of such changes) and without limiting the manner in which the Purchaser may
choose to make any public announcement, the Purchaser shall have no obligation
to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement
other than by issuing a press release to the Dow Jones News Service.
 
     If the Purchaser makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or the
information concerning the Offer, or if it waives a material condition of the
Offer, the Purchaser will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules
14d-4(c), 14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act.
 
     Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if, prior to the Expiration
Date, the Purchaser should decide to decrease the number of Shares being sought
or to increase or decrease the consideration being offered in the Offer, such
decrease in the number of Shares being sought or such increase or decrease in
the consideration being offered will be applicable to all shareholders whose
Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer and, if at the time notice
of any such decrease in the number of Shares being sought or such increase or
decrease in the consideration being offered is first published, sent or given to
holders of such Shares, the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier
than the period ending on the tenth business day from and including the date
that such notice is first so published, sent or given, the Offer will be
extended at least until the expiration of such ten business day period. For
purposes of the Offer, a "BUSINESS DAY" means any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m.
through 12:00 Midnight, New York City time.
 
     The Company has provided the Purchaser with the Company's shareholder list
and security position listings for the purpose of disseminating the Offer to
holders of Shares. This Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal,
and other relevant materials, will be mailed to record holders of Shares whose
names appear on the Company's shareholder list and will be furnished, for
subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of Shares, to brokers, dealers,
commercial banks, trust companies and similar persons whose names, or the names
of whose nominees, appear on the shareholder list or, if applicable, who are
listed as participants in a clearing agency's security position listing.
 
     2. ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR SHARES.  Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or
amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the
Purchaser will purchase, by accepting for payment, and will pay for, all Shares
validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date (and not properly withdrawn in
accordance with Section 4) promptly after the later to occur of (i) the
Expiration Date and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth
in Section 14. Subject to applicable rules of the Commission and the terms of
the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its
discretion, to delay acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Shares pending
receipt of any regulatory approvals specified in Section 15. See Section 15.
 
     In all cases, payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will be
made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of (i) the certificates
evidencing such Shares (the "SHARE CERTIFICATES") or timely confirmation of a
book-entry transfer (a "BOOK-ENTRY CONFIRMATION") of such Shares, if such
procedure is available, into the Depositary's account at The Depository Trust
Company or the Philadelphia Depository Trust Company (each a "BOOK-ENTRY
TRANSFER FACILITY" and, collectively, the "BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITIES")
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 3, (ii) the Letter of
Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, and
(iii) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   8
 
     The term "AGENT'S MESSAGE" means a message, transmitted by a Book-Entry
Transfer Facility to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of a
Book-Entry Confirmation, which states that such Book-Entry Transfer Facility has
received an express acknowledgment from the participant in such Book-Entry
Transfer Facility tendering the Shares, that such participant has received and
agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the
Purchaser may enforce such agreement against such participant.
 
     On April 23, 1996, Parent anticipates filing with the Federal Trade
Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice
(the "ANTITRUST DIVISION") a Premerger Notification and Report Form under the
HSR Act in connection with the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
Accordingly, it is anticipated that the waiting period under the HSR Act
applicable to the Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 8,
1996. Prior to the expiration or termination of such waiting period, the FTC or
the Antitrust Division may extend such waiting period by requesting additional
information or documentary material from Parent. If such a request is made with
respect to the purchase of Shares in the Offer, the waiting period will expire
at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth calendar day after substantial
compliance by Parent with such a request. Thereafter, the waiting period may
only be extended by court order. The waiting period under the HSR Act may be
terminated prior to its expiration by the FTC and the Antitrust Division. Parent
will request early termination of the waiting period, although there can be no
assurance that this request will be granted. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
Purchaser may, but need not, extend the Offer until the applicable waiting
period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. See Section 15
for additional information regarding the HSR Act.
 
     For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted
for payment, and thereby purchased, tendered Shares if, as and when the
Purchaser gives oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchaser's
acceptance of such Shares for payment. Payment for Shares accepted pursuant to
the Offer will be made by deposit of the purchase price therefor with the
Depositary, which will act as agent for Tendering Shareholder for the purpose of
receiving payments from the Purchaser and transmitting payments to such
Tendering Shareholder. Under no circumstances will interest on the purchase
price for Shares be paid by the Purchaser, regardless of any delay in making
such payment.
 
     If any tendered Shares are not accepted for payment for any reason pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Offer, or if Share Certificates are submitted
evidencing more Shares than are tendered, Share Certificates evidencing
unpurchased Shares will be returned, without expense to the tendering
shareholder (or, in the case of Shares tendered by book-entry transfer into the
Depositary's account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility pursuant to the procedure
set forth in Section 3, such Shares will be credited to an account maintained at
such Book-Entry Transfer Facility), as promptly as practicable following the
expiration, termination or withdrawal of the Offer.
 
     If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration
to be paid per Share pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser will pay such
increased consideration for all such Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer,
whether or not such Shares were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.
 
     Shareholders of the Company will be required to tender one Right for each
Share tendered in order to effect a valid tender of such Share. If Rights
Certificates have been distributed to holders of Shares prior to the
consummation of the Offer, Rights Certificates representing a number of Rights
equal to the number of Shares being tendered must be delivered to the Depositary
in order for such Shares to be validly tendered. If Rights Certificates have not
been distributed prior to the time Shares are accepted for payment by the
Purchaser, a tender of Shares will also constitute a tender of the associated
Rights.
 
     The Purchaser reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole at any
time, or in part from time to time, to one or more of its affiliates, the right
to purchase all or any portion of the Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, but
any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of its
obligations under the Offer and will in no way prejudice the rights of Tendering
Shareholder to receive payment for Shares validly tendered and accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer.

     3. PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING SHARES.
 
     VALID TENDER OF SHARES.  In order for Shares to be validly tendered
pursuant to the Offer, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof),
properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or
an Agent's Message in connection with a book-entry delivery of Shares, and any
other required documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its
addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase prior to the
Expiration Date and either (i) the Share Certificates evidencing tendered Shares
must be received by the Depositary at such address or Shares must be tendered
pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below and a
Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by the Depositary, in each case prior
to the Expiration Date, or (ii) the tendering shareholder must comply with the
guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
 
     THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF SHARE CERTIFICATES AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH ANY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, IS AT
THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER, AND THE DELIVERY WILL BE
DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY. IF DELIVERY IS BY
MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS
RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY
DELIVERY.
 
     BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER.  The Depositary will establish an account with respect
to the Shares at each Book-Entry Transfer Facility for purposes of the Offer
within two business days after the date of this Offer to Purchase, and any
financial institution that is a participant in any of the Book-Entry Transfer
Facilities' systems may make book-entry delivery of Shares by causing a
Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Shares into the Depositary's
account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility in accordance with such Book-Entry
Transfer Facility's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of
Shares may be effected through book-entry transfer at a Book-Entry Transfer
Facility, the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), with any required
signature guarantees, or an Agent's Message and any other required documents,
must, in any case, be transmitted to and received by the Depositary at one of
its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase prior to the
Expiration Date or the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed
delivery procedures described below. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO A BOOK-ENTRY
TRANSFER FACILITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY'S
PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE DEPOSITARY.
 
     SIGNATURE GUARANTEES.  Signatures on all Letters of Transmittal must be
guaranteed by a firm which is a member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee
Program, or by any other "eligible guarantor institution," as such term is
defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act (each of the foregoing being
referred to as an "ELIGIBLE INSTITUTION"), except in cases where Shares are
tendered (i) by a registered holder of Shares who has not completed either the
box entitled "Special Payment Instructions" or the box entitled "Special
Delivery Instructions" on the Letter of Transmittal or (ii) for the account of
an Eligible Institution. If a Share Certificate is registered in the name of a
person other than the person who or which signs the Letter of Transmittal, or if
payment is to be made, or a Share Certificate not accepted for payment or not
tendered is to be returned to a person other than the registered holder(s), then
the Share Certificate must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock
powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s)
appear on the Share Certificate, with the signature(s) on such Share Certificate
or stock powers guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instructions 1 and 5
of the Letter of Transmittal.
 
     If a Share Certificate is registered in the name of a person other than the
signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made, or a Share
Certificate not accepted for payment or not tendered is to be returned, to a
person other than the registered holder(s), then the Share Certificate must be
endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed
exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear on the Share
Certificate, with the signature(s) on such Share Certificate or stock powers
guaranteed as described above. See Instructions 1 and 5 of the Letter of
Transmittal.
 
                                        7

     Guaranteed Delivery.  If a shareholder desires to tender Shares pursuant to
the Offer and such shareholder's Share Certificates are not immediately
available or time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary
prior to the Expiration Date or the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be
completed on or prior to the Expiration Date, such Shares may nevertheless be
tendered if all the following conditions are satisfied:
 
          (i) the tender is made by or through an Eligible Institution;
 
          (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed
     Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Purchaser herewith, is
     received by the Depositary as provided below prior to the Expiration Date;
     and
 
          (iii) in the case of a guarantee of Delivery, the Share Certificates
     for all tendered Shares, in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry
     Confirmation, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter
     of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required
     signature guarantee and any other documents required by such Letter of
     Transmittal, are received by the Depositary within three American Stock
     Exchange ("AMEX") trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of
     Guaranteed Delivery.
 
     Any Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or transmitted
by telegram, facsimile transmission or mail to the Depositary and must include a
guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set forth in the Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery.
 
     Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, payment for Shares purchased
pursuant to the Offer will, in all cases, be made only after timely receipt by
the Depositary of (i) the Share Certificates evidencing such Shares, or a
Book-Entry Confirmation of the delivery of such Shares, as applicable, (ii) a
properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed
facsimile thereof) and (iii) any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal.
 
     DETERMINATION OF VALIDITY.  All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any
tendered Shares pursuant to any of the procedures described above will be
determined by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, whose determination will be
final and binding on all parties. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to
reject any or all tenders of any Shares determined by it not to be in proper
form or if the acceptance for payment of, or payment for, such Shares may, in
the opinion of the Purchaser's counsel, be unlawful. The Purchaser also reserves
the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to waive any of the conditions of
the Offer or any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to Shares of
any particular shareholder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are
waived in the case of other shareholders. No tender of Shares will be deemed to
have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or
waived.
 
     The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto) will be final
and binding. None of Parent, the Purchaser, the Depositary, the Information
Agent or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any
defects or irregularities in tenders or will incur any liability for failure to
give any such notification.
 
     APPOINTMENT AS PROXY.  By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set forth
above, a tendering shareholder irrevocably appoints designees of the Purchaser
as such shareholder's proxies, each with full power of substitution, to the full
extent of such shareholder's rights with respect to the Shares tendered by such
shareholder and accepted for payment by the Purchaser (and any and all non-cash
dividends, distributions, rights, other Shares, or other securities issued or
issuable in respect of such Shares on or after April 22, 1996). All such proxies
shall be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered Shares. This
appointment will be effective if, when, and only to the extent that, the
Purchaser accepts such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. Upon such
acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by such shareholder with respect
to such Shares and other securities will, without further action, be revoked,
and no subsequent proxies may be given. The designees of the Purchaser will,
with respect to the Shares and other securities for which the appointment is
effective, be empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of such
shareholder as they in their sole
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
discretion may deem proper at any annual, special, adjourned or postponed
meeting of the Company's shareholders, by written consent or otherwise, and the
Purchaser reserves the right to require that, in order for Shares or other
securities to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon the Purchaser's
acceptance for payment of such Shares the Purchaser must be able to exercise
full voting rights with respect to such Shares.
 
     TO PREVENT BACKUP FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING WITH RESPECT TO PAYMENT TO
CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS OF THE PURCHASE PRICE OF SHARES PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE
OFFER, EACH SUCH SHAREHOLDER MUST PROVIDE THE DEPOSITARY WITH SUCH SHAREHOLDER'S
CORRECT TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND CERTIFY THAT SUCH SHAREHOLDER IS NOT
SUBJECT TO BACKUP FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING BY COMPLETING THE SUBSTITUTE
FORM W-9 IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. IF BACKUP WITHHOLDING APPLIES WITH
RESPECT TO A SHAREHOLDER, THE DEPOSITARY IS REQUIRED TO WITHHOLD 31% OF ANY
PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER. SEE INSTRUCTION 9 OF THE LETTER OF
TRANSMITTAL.
 
     The Purchaser's acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the
Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and
the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
 
     4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.  Tenders of Shares made pursuant to the Offer are
irrevocable except that such Shares may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment by the Purchaser
pursuant to the Offer, may also be withdrawn at any time after June 20, 1996, or
at such later time as may apply if the Offer is extended.
 
     If the Purchaser extends the Offer, is delayed in its acceptance for
payment of Shares or is unable to accept Shares for payment pursuant to the
Offer for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under
the Offer, the Depositary may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchaser, retain
tendered Shares, and such Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that
Tendering Shareholder is entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this
Section 4. Any such delay will be by an extension of the Offer to the extent
required by law.
 
     For a withdrawal to be effective, a written, telegraphic or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at
one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Any
such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the
Shares to be withdrawn, the number of Shares to be withdrawn and the name of the
registered holder, if different from that of the person who tendered such
Shares. If Share Certificates evidencing Shares to be withdrawn have been
delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, prior to the physical
release of such Share Certificates, the serial numbers shown on such Share
Certificates must be submitted to the Depositary and the signature(s) on the
notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, unless such
Shares have been tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If Shares
have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer as set
forth in Section 3, any notice of withdrawal must also specify the name and
number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with
the withdrawn Shares.
 
     All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of
notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, whose determination will be final and binding. None of Parent, the
Purchaser, the Depositary, the Information Agent or any other person will be
under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any
notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such
notification.
 
     Any Shares properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed to not have been
validly tendered for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Shares may be
re-tendered at any time prior to the Expiration Date by following one of the
procedures described in Section 3.
 
     5. CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.  The receipt of cash for Shares
pursuant to the Offer or in the Merger will be a taxable transaction for federal
income tax purposes and may
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local or foreign tax laws.
In general, a shareholder will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in exchange
for the Shares sold and such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in such Shares.
Assuming the Shares constitute capital assets in the hands of the shareholder,
such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long term capital
gain or loss if the holder has held the Shares for more than one year at the
time of the sale. Gain or loss will be calculated separately for each block of
Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer.
 
     The foregoing discussion may not be applicable to certain types of
shareholders, including shareholders who acquired Shares pursuant to the
exercise of stock options or otherwise as compensation, individuals who are not
citizens or residents of the United States and foreign corporations, or entities
that are otherwise subject to special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
 
     THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY AND IS BASED UPON PRESENT LAW. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO
CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
OFFER AND THE MERGER TO THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX, AND STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
 
     6. PRICE RANGE OF SHARES; DIVIDENDS.  The Shares are listed and principally
traded on the AMEX and quoted under the symbol DPX. The following table sets
forth, for the quarters indicated, the high and low sales prices per Share on
the AMEX as reported by the Dow Jones News Service.

     Except as described in this Offer to Purchase, (i) none of the Purchaser,

persons listed in Schedule I to this Offer to Purchase or any associate or

     Except as provided in the Merger Agreement, the Tender Agreement and the
expressions of interest described in Section 11, and as otherwise described in
this Offer to Purchase, none of the Purchaser, Parent nor, to the best knowledge
of the Purchaser and Parent, any of the persons listed in Schedule I to this

affiliates, on the other hand, concerning a merger, consolidation or
acquisition, tender offer or other acquisition of securities, an election of

     9.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS.
 
     The total amount of funds required by the Purchaser and Parent to
consummate the Offer and the Merger (including the cash out of stock options)
and to pay related fees and expenses (inclusive of estimated expenses of the
Company) is estimated to be approximately $92 million. The Purchaser will obtain
all of such funds from Parent or its affiliates. Parent will provide the $92
million for the foregoing transactions from its working capital and existing
credit facilities (collectively, the "CREDIT AGREEMENTS"). Parent's existing
credit facilities aggregate $110 million as follows: (a) $65 million -- NBD Bank
("NBD"); and (b) $15 million each with PNC Bank, Ohio, N.A. ("PNC"), Bank One,
Dayton, NA ("BANK ONE") and Bank of America Illinois ("B OF A").
 
     Loans made under the Credit Agreements bear interest at the Parent's option
based on either (a) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus
3/5%- 5/8%, (b) each lender's prime rate, (c) each lender's certificate of
deposit ("CD") rate plus 1/2%- 3/4%, or (d) a competitive bid rate among NBD,
PNC and Bank One. The interest rate for LIBOR and CD loans varies with the
interest period chosen by Parent. Parent may choose 30, 60 or 90-day interest
periods for LIBOR and CD loans and up to 90 days for prime rate loans. The
current interest rate for 90-day LIBOR loans is approximately 5.875% per annum,
for 90-day CD loans is approximately 6.125% per annum and for prime rate loans
is 8.25% per annum. Parent pays a fee of 25 basis points per annum on the unused
portion of the Credit Agreements.
 
     The NBD Credit Agreement will reduce to $30 million approximately six
months after consummation of the Offer. Each of the Credit Agreements provides
that any outstanding loan balances at termination of the revolving portion of
the Agreement shall be converted to 3-4 year quarterly amortizing term loans.

     The Credit Agreements include representations and warranties, covenants,
events of default and other terms customary to such financings. Each of the
Credit Agreements is attached as an exhibit to the Schedule 14D-1 filed by
Parent and the Purchaser in connection with the Offer.
 
     10.  BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER; CONTACTS WITH THE COMPANY.
 
     In late February, 1996, David J. Eskra, former Chairman of the Board and a
current Director of the Company approached Terry D. Carder, former Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Parent, to inquire into the potential
interest of Parent in pursuing discussions regarding the possible acquisition of
the Company by Parent. Mr. Eskra and Mr. Carder are neighbors.
 
     Following that discussion, Mr. Carder contacted Mr. Robert C. Nevin,
President of Parent's Business Forms Division, to discuss Mr. Eskra's inquiry.
Mr. Nevin indicated that Parent might have an interest in pursuing discussions
and Mr. Carder reported that to Mr. Eskra in early March, 1996.
 
     Mr. Eskra then contacted Mr. John C. Colman, a Director of the Company and
a member of the Company's Executive Committee. Mr. Colman contacted Mr. Nevin by
telephone to discuss a possible meeting between the parties to determine whether
discussions should proceed. The parties agreed to meet on March 16, 1996.
 
     In anticipation of the March 16, 1996 meeting, Mr. Mark A. Robinson,
Secretary and General Counsel of the Company, sent by telecopier to Mr. Daniel
W. Dittman, Senior Vice President of Parent's Business Forms Division, on March
3, 1996, a proposed form of confidentiality undertaking by Parent. On March 7,
1996, Mr. Dittman signed and returned the March 3, 1996 letter to Mr. Robinson,
subject to the changes set forth in Mr. Dittman's letter of that date. Mr.
Robinson executed a copy of Mr. Dittman's letter agreeing to the proposed
changes and returned a signed copy to Mr. Dittman.
 
     On March 16, 1996, Messrs. Nevin, Dittman, Dale L. Medford (Vice
President -- Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Parent) and Rodney A. Hedeen
(Senior Vice President and General Manager of Parent's Business Forms Division),
met with Messrs. Colman, Campbell, Robinson, Loomer, Preston and Ramig. At that
meeting, the Company presented Parent with a binder containing many of the
answers to the questions raised by Parent. The parties discussed various topics
related to the Company and its recent performance.
 
     On March 21, 1996, Mr. Nevin and Mr. Colman spoke by telephone. Mr. Nevin
indicated that Mr. Colman could report to the Company's Board of Directors at
their March 22, 1996 meeting Reynolds' then-current intention to present to the
Company's Board of Directors in person during the week of April 1, 1996 a
proposal for the acquisition of the Company by Parent.
 
     On March 23, 1996, Mr. Colman contacted Mr. Medford by telephone and
indicated that the matter had been discussed at the Company's Board of Directors
meeting on March 22. The parties subsequently agreed to meet on April 3, 1996
for the purpose of receiving Parent's proposal.
 
     On April 3, 1996, Messrs. Nevin, Medford, Hedeen and Dittman, and outside
counsel for Parent, Jeffry A. Melnick, met with Messrs. Colman and Robinson and
John Bacon, a director of the Company. At that meeting, Parent reviewed a
structure for a proposed transaction. Messrs. Bacon, Colman and Robinson
determined that the offer was not within the range that would be acceptable to
the Company's Board of Directors and the meeting terminated.
 
     On April 8, 1996, Mr. Colman contacted Mr. Nevin to determine whether
Parent wanted to submit a revised proposal. Over the next two days, the parties
exchanged several telephone conversations regarding various terms of Parent's
revised proposal. On April 10, 1996, Mr. Bacon communicated to Mr. Medford the
decision of the Company's Board of Directors to permit Parent to proceed with
due diligence based upon Parent's revised proposal.
 
     From April 12 through April 19, Parent conducted an initial due diligence
investigation regarding the Company.

     Parent's Board of Directors met at 4:00 p.m. on April 19, 1996 to consider
the Offer and the Merger and the related transactions. At that meeting, the
Board approved the Offer and the Merger and the related transactions and
authorized appropriate officers of Parent to take such actions as necessary to
effect the same. By unanimous written consent dated as of April 19, 1996, the
Board of Directors of the Purchaser approved the Offer and the Merger and the
related transactions and authorized appropriate officers of Parent to take such
actions as necessary to effect the same.
 
     The Company's Board of Directors met at 9:00 a.m. on April 20, 1996 to
consider the Offer and the Merger and the related transactions. At that meeting,
the Board unanimously approved the Offer and the Merger and the related
transactions and authorized appropriate officers of Parent to take such actions
as necessary to effect the same.
 
     The parties executed the Merger Agreement and the other agreements and
documents described in this Offer on April 20, 1996.
 
     11.  PURPOSE OF THE OFFER; PLANS FOR THE COMPANY; MERGER AGREEMENT; TENDER
          AGREEMENT AND EXPRESSIONS OF INTENT; EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING
          AGREEMENTS; AND OTHER AGREEMENTS.
 
     PURPOSE OF THE OFFER.  The purpose of the Offer, the Merger, the Merger
Agreement and the Tender Agreement is to enable Parent to acquire control of the
Company's Board of Directors and the entire equity interest in the Company. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent. The Offer is being made pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
     PLANS FOR THE COMPANY.  It is expected that, initially following the
Merger, the business and operations of the Company will, except as set forth in
this Offer to Purchase, be integrated into the operations of Parent as rapidly
as practicable following the Merger. In addition, Parent will continue to
evaluate the business and operations of the Company during the pendency of the
Offer and after the consummation of the Offer and the Merger and will take such
further actions as it deems appropriate under the circumstances then existing.
Parent intends to cause the Shares to be delisted from the American Stock
Exchange and deregistered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable
following purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. As a result, there will
likely be no public market for the sale of Shares which are not so purchased.
Parent further anticipates that as soon as practicable following the Effective
Time, Parent will cause the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger,
to be merged into Parent or dissolved and liquidated in one or more liquidating
distributions. Further, Parent intends to sell those assets of the Company which
are not useful to the integrated operation.
 
     MERGER AGREEMENT.  THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE
MERGER AGREEMENT. THE SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE
MERGER AGREEMENT WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE AND A COPY OF WHICH
HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE COMMISSION AS AN EXHIBIT TO THE SCHEDULE 14D-1. THE
MERGER AGREEMENT MAY BE EXAMINED AND COPIES MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PLACE AND IN
THE MANNER SET FORTH IN SECTION 7 OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE.
 
        The Offer.  The Merger Agreement provides that the Purchaser will
commence the Offer and that, upon the terms and subject to the prior
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser will
purchase all Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer. The Merger Agreement
provides that, without the consent of the Company, the Purchaser will not
decrease the Offer Price, decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer,
waive the Minimum Condition, change the form of consideration payable in the
Offer, or modify or add to the stated conditions, except that if on the
Expiration Date (as duly extended, if applicable), all conditions to the Offer
shall not have been satisfied or waived, the Offer may be extended from time to
time until June 15, 1996. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that
without the consent of the Company, the Offer Price may be increased and the
Offer may be extended to the extent required by law in connection with such an
increase in the Offer Price.
 
                                       16

        The Merger.  The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms
and conditions thereof, and in accordance with Delaware Law, at the Effective
Time, the Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of
the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Purchaser will cease and the
Company will continue as the Surviving Corporation.
 
     The respective obligations of Parent and the Purchaser, on the one hand,
and the Company, on the other hand, to effect the Merger are subject to the
conditions that: (i) the Agreement shall have been approved and adopted by the
requisite vote of the holders of Common Stock, if required by applicable law and
the Restated Articles of Incorporation, in order to consummate the Merger; (ii)
no statute, rule, order, decree or regulation shall have been enacted or
promulgated by any foreign or domestic government or any governmental agency or
authority of competent jurisdiction which prohibits the consummation of the
Offer, the Merger or the Tender Agreement or has the effect of making illegal
the purchase of Company Common Stock by Parent or the Purchaser and all foreign
or domestic governmental consents, orders and approvals required for the
consummation of the Offer and the Merger and the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement shall have been obtained and shall be in effect at the Effective
Time; (iii) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other order shall have
been issued by any court or by any governmental or regulatory agency, body or
authority which prohibits the consummation of the Offer or the Merger and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and which is in effect at the
Effective Time, provided, however, that, in the case of a decree, injunction or
other order, each of the parties shall have used reasonable efforts to prevent
the entry of any such injunction or other order and to appeal as promptly as
possible any decree, injunction or other order that may be entered; and (iv)
Parent, the Purchaser or their affiliates shall have purchased shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Offer.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that at the Effective Time, each issued and
outstanding share of Common Stock, including the associated Rights (other than
Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock and any Shares owned by
Parent, Purchaser or another wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser) shall be
converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest.
 
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of
common stock, no par value, of the Purchaser shall be converted into one fully
paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has
approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement (which shall be effected as soon
as possible but in any event not later than two (2) days after public
announcement of the Offer) (the "RIGHTS AMENDMENT") in order to (i) prevent the
Merger Agreement, the Tender Agreement, the expressions of intent described
below in this Section 11 or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated thereby, including without limitation, the Offer and the
consummation of the Offer and the Merger, from resulting in the issuance of
Rights or being deemed a trigger event under the terms of the Rights Agreement
and to (ii) provide that neither Parent nor the Purchaser will be deemed to be
an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) by reason of the
transactions expressly provided for in the Merger Agreement and the Tender
Agreement. The Rights Amendment will render the Rights inoperative with respect
to any acquisition of Shares by Parent, the Purchaser or any of their affiliates
pursuant to the Merger Agreement the Tender Agreement and/or the expressions of
intent described below. Additionally, the Rights Amendment provides that the
Rights Agreement will terminate immediately prior to the purchase of Shares by
Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.
 
        The Company's Board of Directors.  The Merger Agreement provides that,
promptly upon the purchase of and payment for any Shares by Parent or any of its
subsidiaries which represents at least a majority of the outstanding Shares (on
a fully diluted basis), Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of
directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the
Company as is equal to the product of the total number of directors on such
Board (giving effect to the directors designated by Parent pursuant to this
sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of Shares
beneficially owned by the Purchaser, Parent or any of their affiliates bears to
the total number of Shares then outstanding. The Company shall, upon request of
the Purchaser, promptly either increase the size of its Board of Directors or,
at the Company's election, secure the resignations of such number of its
incumbent directors as is
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   20
necessary to enable Parent's designees to be so elected to the Company's Board,
and shall cause Parent's designees to be so elected. The Merger Agreement also
provides that the Company shall cause persons designated by Parent to constitute
the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company's
Board of Directors of (i) each committee of the Company's Board of Directors,
(ii) each board of directors (or similar body) of each subsidiary of the Company
and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each such board, in each case only
to the extent permitted by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on
which the Shares are listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective
Time, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to retain as members of its
Board of Directors at least two directors who are directors of the Company on
the date of the Merger Agreement; provided, that subsequent to the purchase of
and payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer, Parent shall always have its
designees represent at least a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The
Company's obligation to appoint the Purchaser's designees to the Board of
Directors is subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1
promulgated thereunder.
 
        Shareholders Meeting.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company
will, if required by applicable law in order to consummate the Merger, duly
call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its shareholders
(the "SPECIAL MEETING") as soon as practicable following the acceptance for
payment and purchase of Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer for the
purpose of considering and taking action upon the Merger Agreement. The Merger
Agreement provides that the Company will, if required by applicable law in order
to consummate the Merger, prepare and file with the Commission a preliminary
proxy or information statement relating to the Merger and the Merger Agreement
and use its reasonable efforts (i) to obtain and furnish the information
required to be included by the Commission in the Proxy Statement (as defined
herein) and, after consultation with Parent, to respond promptly to any comments
made by the Commission with respect to the preliminary proxy or information
statement and cause a definitive proxy or information statement (the "PROXY
STATEMENT") to be mailed to its shareholders and (ii) to obtain the necessary
approvals of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by its shareholders. If the
Purchaser acquires at least a majority of the outstanding Shares, the Purchaser
will have sufficient voting power to approve the Merger, even if no other
shareholder votes in favor of the Merger. The Company has agreed, subject to the
fiduciary obligations of the Board under applicable law as advised by
independent counsel, to include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the
Board that shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the
Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Parent agrees that it will
vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares then owned by it, the Purchaser or
any of its other subsidiaries and affiliates in favor of the approval of the
Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement.
 
     The Merger Agreement provides that in the event that Parent, the Purchaser
or any other subsidiary of Parent acquires at least 90% of the outstanding
Shares, pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, Parent, the Purchaser and the
Company agree, at the request of Parent and subject to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to
become effective as soon as practicable after such acquisition, without a
meeting of shareholders of the Company, in accordance with Delaware Law.
 
        Interim Operations.  In the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed
that, except as expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement or agreed to by
Parent, prior to the time the directors of the Purchaser have been elected to,
and shall constitute a majority of, the Board of Directors of the Company: (i)
the business of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be conducted only in the
ordinary and usual course and, to the extent consistent therewith, each of the
Company and its subsidiaries shall use its best efforts to preserve its business
organization intact and maintain its existing relations with customers,
suppliers, employees, creditors and business partners; (ii) the Company will
not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, transfer or pledge or agree to sell,
transfer or pledge any Common Stock, preferred stock or capital stock of any of
its subsidiaries beneficially owned by it, either directly or indirectly; or (b)
split, combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock or any outstanding
capital stock of any of the subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall (a) amend its articles of
incorporation or by-laws or similar organizational documents; (b) declare, set
aside or pay any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, stock or
property with respect to its capital stock; (c) issue, sell, pledge, dispose of
or encumber any
 
                                       18

additional shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or
options, warrants, calls, commitments or rights of any kind to acquire, any
shares of capital stock of any class of the Company or its subsidiaries, other
than issuances pursuant to the exercise of Options (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement; (d) transfer,
lease, license, sell, mortgage, pledge, dispose of, or encumber any material
assets other than in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent
with past practice, or incur or modify any material indebtedness or other
liability, other than in the ordinary and usual course of business and
consistent with past practice; (e) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire
directly or indirectly any of its capital stock; (f) grant any increase in the
compensation payable or to become payable by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries to any of its executive officers or key employees, or adopt any new
or amend or otherwise increase or accelerate the payment or vesting of the
amounts payable or to become payable under any existing bonus, incentive
compensation, deferred compensation, severance, profit sharing, stock option,
stock purchase, insurance, pension, retirement or other employee benefit plan
agreement or arrangement; (g) enter into any employment or severance agreement
with or, except in accordance with the existing written policies of the Company,
grant any severance or termination pay to any officer, director or employee of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (h) modify, amend or terminate any of
its material contracts or waive, release or assign any material rights or
claims, except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past

practice; (j) incur or assume any long-term debt, or, except in the ordinary
course of business, incur or assume any short-term indebtedness in amounts not

become liable or responsible (whether directly, contingently or otherwise) for
the obligations of any other person, except in the ordinary course of business
and consistent with past practice; (l) make any loans, advances or capital
contributions to, or investments in, any other person (other than to wholly

or purchase, sale or lease of assets); (n) change any of the accounting
principles used by it unless required by generally accepted accounting

(absolute, accrued, asserted or unasserted, contingent or otherwise), other than

obligations, (1) in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practice, of claims, liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved against
in, or contemplated by, the consolidated financial statements (or the notes
thereto) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, (2) incurred in the
ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, or (3) which are
legally required to be paid, discharged or satisfied (provided that if such
claims, liabilities or obligations referred to in this clause (3) are legally
required to be paid and are also not otherwise payable in accordance with
clauses (1) or (2), the Company will notify Parent in writing if such claims,
liabilities or obligations exceed, individually or in the aggregate, $50,000 in
value, reasonably in advance of their payment); (p) adopt a plan of complete or
partial liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring,
recapitalization or other reorganization of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (other than the Merger); (q) take, or agree to commit to take, any

in the Merger Agreement inaccurate in any respect at, or as of any time prior
to, the Effective Time; or (r) enter into an agreement, contract, commitment or
arrangement to do any of the foregoing, or to authorize, recommend, propose or
announce an intention to do any of the foregoing.
 
        No Solicitation.  In the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed that
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall (and the
Company shall use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees,
representatives and agents not to), directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit,
participate in or initiate discussions or negotiations with, or provide any
information to, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group
(other than Parent, or any of its affiliates or representatives) concerning any
merger, tender offer, exchange offer, sale of assets, sale of shares of capital
stock or debt securities or similar transactions involving the Company or any
subsidiary, division or operating or principal business unit of the Company (an
"ACQUISITION PROPOSAL"). The Company also agreed that it will immediately cease
any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted
prior to the date of the Merger Agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
The Merger Agreement provides that the Company may, directly or
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   22
indirectly, provide access and furnish information to a third party and may
negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such third party
concerning an Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of the Company
reasonably believes such information or discussions will result in an
Acquisition Proposal and if the Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith
believes (and has received a written opinion to that effect from independent
counsel) that failing to take such action would constitute a breach of its
fiduciary duties and if such third party, as a condition to receipt of such
information, executes a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than the
Confidentiality Agreement.
 
     The Merger Agreement further provides that, neither the Board of Directors
of the Company nor any Committee thereof shall withdraw or modify in a manner
adverse to Parent the approval and recommendation of the Offer and the Merger
Agreement or approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, provided that the
Company may recommend to its shareholders an Acquisition Proposal and in
connection therewith withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of the
Offer or the Merger if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company has reasonably
and in good faith determined that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior
Proposal (as defined below) and the Board of Directors has received a written
opinion from independent legal counsel that failure to withdraw or modify its
recommendation of the Offer and the Merger and to terminate the Merger Agreement
pursuant to Section 7.1(e) of the Merger Agreement would constitute a breach of
the Board's fiduciary duties, (ii) all the conditions to the Company's right to
terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(e) have been satisfied
(including the payment of the amount required by Section 8.1 of the Merger
Agreement), (iii) simultaneously with such withdrawal, modification or
recommendation, the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section
7.1(e) and (iv) the Acquisition Proposal does not provide for any breakup fee or
other inducement to the acquiror other than reimbursement of documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such Acquisition Proposal.
 
     "SUPERIOR PROPOSAL" means a bona fide proposal made by a third party to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company pursuant to a tender offer
or a merger, or to purchase all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company on terms which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of
the Company determines in its good faith reasonable judgment (based on the
advice of its financial and legal advisors) to be more favorable to the Company
and its shareholders than the transactions contemplated hereby, and which does
not provide for any breakup fee or other inducement to the acquiror other than
reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
the Superior Proposal.
 
     The Company has also agreed to promptly advise Parent of any request for
information or of any Acquisition Proposal, or any proposal with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or
takeover proposal, and the identity of the person making any such takeover
proposal or inquiry. The Company has committed to use its reasonable best
efforts to keep Parent informed of the status and details (including amendments
or proposed amendments) of any such request, takeover proposal or inquiry.
 
     The Company has agreed that immediately following the purchase of Shares
pursuant to the Offer, the Company will request each person which has heretofore
executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of
acquiring the Company or any portion thereof to return all confidential
information heretofore furnished to such person by or on behalf of the Company.
 
        Directors' and Officers' Insurance and Indemnification.  For two (2)
years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will either (i)
maintain in effect the Company's current directors' and officers' liability
insurance covering those persons who are currently covered on the date of the
Merger Agreement by the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES"); provided, however, that in no event will
Parent be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 100% of the
annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and; provided
further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such
amount, the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the
greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount; provided
further, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute for such Company
policies, policies with at least the same coverage containing terms and
conditions which are no less advantageous and provided that said substitution
does not result in any gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters
occurring prior to the
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   23
 Effective Time, or (ii) cause the Parent's directors' and officers' liability
insurance then in effect to cover those persons who are covered on the date of
the Merger Agreement by the Company's directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy with respect to those matters covered by the Company's
directors' and officers' liability policy.
 
     Parent has agreed to (or to cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify
all Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws with respect to all
acts and omissions arising out of such individuals' services as officers,
directors, employees or agents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries,
occurring prior to the Effective Time including, without limitation, the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Without limitation of the
foregoing, in the event any such Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any
capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any
matter, including without limitation, the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, occurring prior to, and including, the Effective Time, Parent,
from and after the date of purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, will pay as
incurred such Indemnified Party's reasonable legal and other expenses (including
the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith.
 
        Compensation and Benefits.  Parent has agreed that following the
Effective Time the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries will continue
to be provided with employee benefit plans (other than stock option, employee
stock ownership or other plans involving the potential issuance of securities of
the Company or of Parent) which in the aggregate are substantially comparable to
those currently provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such employees.
Parent will, and will cause the Company as the surviving corporation to, honor
employee (or former employee) benefit obligations and contractual rights
existing as of the Effective Time and all employment, incentive and deferred
compensation or severance agreements, plans or policies adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) prior to the date hereof in
accordance with their terms other than stock option, employee stock ownership or
other plans involving the potential issuance of securities of the Company or of
Parent.
 
        Options.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent and the Company have
agreed to take all actions necessary to provide that, effective as of the
Effective Time, (i) each outstanding employee stock option to purchase Shares
(an "EMPLOYEE OPTION") granted under the Company's 1984 Stock Option Plan or
1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "OPTION PLANS"), whether or not then
exercisable or vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested, (ii) each
Option that is then outstanding shall be cancelled and (iii) in consideration of
such cancellation, and except to the extent that Parent or the Purchaser and the
holder of any such Option otherwise agree, the Company (or, at Parent's option,
the Purchaser) shall pay to such holders of Options an amount in respect thereof
equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the
exercise price thereof and (B) the number of Shares subject thereto (such
payment to be net of applicable withholding taxes). In the Merger Agreement, the
parties have agreed that if it is determined that compliance with any of the
foregoing would cause any individual subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
("SECTION 16") to become subject to the profit recovery provisions thereof, any
Options held by such individual will be cancelled or purchased, as the case may
be, as promptly as possible so as not to subject such individual to any
liability pursuant to Section 16, subject to receiving an agreement from the
holder of such Option not to exercise such Option after the Effective Time, and
such individual shall be entitled to receive from the Company, for each Share
subject to an Option an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Offer Price
over the per Share exercise price of such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any payment to the holders of Options contemplated by the foregoing provisions
may be withheld in respect of any Option until any necessary consents or
releases are obtained. The Merger Agreement also provides that (i) the Option
Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time and the provisions in any other
plan, program or arrangement, providing for the issuance or grant of any other
interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries shall be deleted as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Company
shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that following the Effective Time no
holder of Options or any participant in the Option Plans or any other plans,
programs or arrangements shall have any right thereunder to acquire any equity
securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any subsidiary thereof.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   24
 
     The Merger Agreement also provides that all Shares previously issued in the
form of restricted stock under the Company's Restricted Stock Purchase Plan will
become fully and freely transferable pursuant to the Offer immediately prior to
the Effective Time.
 
        Representations and Warranties.  In the Merger Agreement, the Company
has made customary representations and warranties to Parent and the Purchaser
with respect to, among other things, its organization, capitalization, financial
statements, public filings, labor relations, conduct of business, employee
benefit plans, insurance, compliance with laws, litigation, tax matters, real
property, consent and approvals, opinions of financial advisors, vote required,
undisclosed liabilities and the absence of any undisclosed material adverse
changes in the Company since October 28, 1995.
 
        Termination; Fees.  The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval by the
shareholders of the Company, (a) subject to the provisions of Section 1.3 of the
Merger Agreement, by mutual consent of the Company, on the one hand, and of
Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand; (b)by either Parent, on the one
hand, or the Company, on the other hand, if any Governmental Entity shall have
issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of,
or payment for, Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Merger and such order,
decree or ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; (c)
by Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, if the Effective
Time shall not have occurred on or before June 15, 1996 unless the Effective
Time shall not have occurred because of a material breach of any representation,
warranty, obligation, covenant, agreement or condition set forth in the Merger
Agreement on the part of the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement;
(d) by Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, if the Offer
is terminated or expires in accordance with its terms without the Purchaser
having purchased any Common Stock thereunder due to a failure of any of the
conditions set forth in Annex A to the Merger Agreement (the "TENDER OFFER
CONDITIONS"; see Section 14) to be satisfied, unless such termination or
expiration has been caused by or results from the failure of the party seeking
to terminate the Merger Agreement to perform in any material respect any of its
respective covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement; (e) by
either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, if the Board
of Directors of the Company reasonably and in good faith determines that an
Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and the Board believes (and has
received a written opinion from independent legal counsel) that a failure to
terminate the Merger Agreement would constitute a breach of its fiduciary
duties; provided, however, the Company may not terminate the Merger Agreement
pursuant to this provision unless (i) the Company has notified Parent and the
Purchaser in writing promptly after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and
following such notification by the Company, the Company has fully cooperated
with Parent, including, without limitation, informing Parent of the terms and
conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (and any modification thereto), and the
identity of the Person making such Proposal, with the intent of enabling the
parties hereto to agree to a modification of the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected,
and (ii) prior to such termination, Parent has received the amount set forth in
Section 8.1(b) of the Merger Agreement by wire transfer in same day funds; and
(f) prior to the consummation of the Offer, by the Company, if (i) any of the
representations and warranties of Parent or the Purchaser contained in the
Merger Agreement were untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or
have since become, and at the time of termination remain, incorrect in any
material respect, or (ii) Parent or the Purchaser shall have breached or failed
to comply in any material respect with any of their respective obligations under
the Merger Agreement.
 
     In accordance with the Merger Agreement, upon termination there shall be no
liability on the part of Parent or the Company except (a) for fraud or for
material breach of the Merger Agreement and (b) if the Merger Agreement is
terminated by Parent because of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in
paragraphs (iv)(e) or (iv)(h) of the Tender Offer Conditions (i.e., if the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Merger Agreement
shall not be true and correct in any material respect as of the date of
consummation of the Offer as though made on or as of such date, except (i) for
changes specifically permitted by the Merger Agreement and (ii) those
representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date
as true and correct as of such date, or the Company shall have breached or
failed in any material respect to perform or comply with any material
obligation, agreement or covenant required by the

Merger Agreement to be performed or complied with by it, or if the Company's
Board of Directors shall have withdrawn, or modified or changed in a manner
adverse to Parent or the Purchaser (including by amendment of the Schedule
14D-9) its recommendation of the Offer, the Merger Agreement, or the Merger, or
recommended another proposal or offer, or shall have resolved to do any of the
foregoing) or if the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance
with Section 7.1(e) of the Merger Agreement (following receipt of a Superior
Proposal), then the Company shall, within two business days of such termination
(except as required to be earlier paid in accordance with Section 7.1(e)), pay
to Parent in same day funds the sum of $3,366,575.

     RIGHTS AGREEMENT.  THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE
RIGHTS AGREEMENT. THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE
RIGHTS AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE COMMISSION AS AN
EXHIBIT TO THE COMPANY'S CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K, DATED JUNE 19, 1989, AND IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO SUCH FORM 8-K. THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT
MAY BE EXAMINED AND COPIES MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PLACE AND IN THE MANNER AS SET
FORTH IN SECTION 7 OF THIS OFFER TO PURCHASE.
 
     On June 8, 1989, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to
shareholders of record on June 23, 1989. The description and terms of the Rights
are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "RIGHTS AGREEMENT") between the Company
and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Rights Agent (the "RIGHTS AGENT").
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   28
     The Rights are evidenced by a Common Stock certificate with a copy of the
Summary of Rights (as set forth in an exhibit to the Rights Agreement) attached
thereto. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a Distribution Date
(as defined in the Rights Agreement) will occur upon the earlier of (i) 15 days
following a public announcement that an Acquiring Person (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial
ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or (ii)
15 days following the commencement or announcement of an intention to commence a
tender offer or exchange offer by any person if, upon consummation thereof, such
person would be an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the
"DISTRIBUTION DATE").
 
     The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, (i) the
Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Stock, (ii) new Common
Stock certificates issued after June 23, 1989 upon transfer or new issuance of
the Common Stock contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by
reference, and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any of the Common Stock
certificates outstanding as of June 23, 1989 will also constitute the transfer
of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate.
The Rights Agreement provides that as soon as practicable following the
Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights ("RIGHT
CERTIFICATES") will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates
alone will evidence the Rights.
 
     The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and the Rights
will expire on June 7, 1999, unless earlier redeemed by the Company as described
below.
 
     The Rights Agreement provides that in the event that (i) the Company were
the surviving corporation in a merger and its Common Stock were not changed or
exchanged; (ii) an Acquiring Person engages in one of a number of self-dealing
transactions specified in the Rights Agreement; or (iii) an Acquiring Person
becomes the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the outstanding Shares, or (iv)
during such time as there is an Acquiring Person, an event occurs which results
in such Acquiring Person's ownership interest being increased by more than 1%,
then proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right will
thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in
certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having
a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right.
 
     In the event (i) that the Company were acquired in a merger or other
business combination transaction in connection with which the Company is not the
surviving corporation (other than a merger described in the preceding
paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the Company's assets or earning power is sold
or transferred, each holder of a Right shall thereafter have the right to
receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value
equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Each of the events described
in this paragraph and the preceding constitutes a "TRIGGERING EVENT" under the
Rights Agreement.
 
     With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be
required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of a least 1% in
such Purchase Price. Prior to a Triggering Event, fractional shares of the
Preferred Stock will not be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash
will be made based on the current market value of the Preferred Stock. Following
the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall not be required to issue
fractions of shares of Common Stock and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash
will be made equal to the same fraction of the current market value of one share
of Common Stock.
 
     At any time until fifteen days following a Stock Acquisition Date (as
defined in the Rights Agreement), the Board of Directors of the Company may
redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.05 per Right (the
"REDEMPTION PRICE"). Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors of
the Company electing to redeem the Rights, the Company shall make announcement
thereof, and upon such election, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate
and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption
Price.
 
     Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no
rights as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right
to vote or to receive dividends.
 
                                       26

     GENERAL.  Under Delaware Law, the approval of the Board and the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares is required to
approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the Merger. The Board of Directors of the Company has
unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, and, unless the Merger is consummated pursuant to the
short-form merger provisions under Delaware Law described below, the only
remaining required corporate action of the Company is the approval and adoption
of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares. Accordingly, if the
Minimum Condition is satisfied, the Purchaser will have sufficient voting power
to cause the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby without the affirmative vote of any other shareholders of
the Company.
 
     Under Delaware Law, if the Purchaser acquires, pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise, at least 90% of the outstanding Shares, the Purchaser will be able to
approve the Merger without a vote of the Company's shareholders. In such event,
Parent, the Purchaser and the Company have agreed in the Merger Agreement to
take, at the request of the Purchaser, all necessary and appropriate action to
cause the Merger to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after
such acquisition, without a meeting of the Company's shareholders. If, however,
the Purchaser does not acquire at least 90% of the outstanding Shares pursuant
to the Offer or otherwise and a vote of the Company's shareholders is required
under Delaware Law, a significantly longer period of time would be required to
effect the Merger.
 
     Under Article IX of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(the "COMPANY'S CHARTER"), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
75% of the outstanding voting Shares is required to, among other things, adopt
any agreement for, or to approve, the merger or consolidation of the Company or
any subsidiary with or into any Related Person (defined as any individual,
corporation, or other entity) if such person has or has the right to acquire
beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Shares. However, the Company's Charter
provides that the preceding provision is not applicable to a transaction which
has been approved by the unanimous vote of all of the Directors then in office.
In the Merger Agreement, the Company has represented that the Board of Directors
of the Company, by resolution, has unanimously approved the Merger and the
transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, the vote of the holders of not
less than 75% of the outstanding Shares, as set forth in Article IX of the
Company's Charter, is not applicable to the Offer, the Merger, or the
transactions contemplated thereby.
 
     The Commission has adopted Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act which is
applicable to certain "going private" transactions and which may under certain
circumstances be applicable to the Merger or another business combination
following the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer in which the Purchaser
seeks to acquire the remaining Shares not held by it. The Purchaser believes,
however, that Rule 13e-3 will not be applicable to the Merger because it is
anticipated that the Merger will be effected within one year following
consummation of the Offer. Rule 13e-3 requires, among other things, that certain
financial information concerning the Company and certain information relating to
the fairness of the proposed transaction and the consideration offered to
minority shareholders in such transaction, be filed with the Commission and
disclosed to shareholders prior to consummation of the transaction.
 
     Except as noted in this Offer to Purchase, neither Parent nor the Purchaser
has any present plans or proposals that would result in an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, liquidation, relocation
of operations, or sale or transfer of assets, involving the Company or any
material changes in the Company's corporate structure or business.
 
     12.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.  As described above, the Merger Agreement
provides that, prior to the Effective Time, the Company will not (a) declare,
set aside or pay any dividend or other distribution payable in cash, stock or
property with respect to its capital stock, subsidiaries of the Company and
dividends paid in respect of directors' qualifying shares which dividends are
the property of, and for the benefit of, the Company or its direct or indirect
wholly owned subsidiaries, (b) except as explicitly permitted by the Merger
Agreement, issue, sell, pledge, dispose of or encumber any additional shares of,
or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options, warrants, calls,
commitments or rights of any kind to acquire,
 
                                       27
<PAGE>   30
any shares of capital stock of any class of the Company or its subsidiaries or
(c) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any of its
capital stock.
 
     If, on or after the date of the Merger Agreement, the Company should (a)
split, combine, redeem or reclassify any shares of its capital stock, (b)
purchase or acquire, or offer to purchase or acquire, any shares of its capital
stock or (c) issue or sell any shares of its capital stock (other than in
connection with the exercise of the Options outstanding on the date of the
Merger Agreement), or any of its other securities, or issue any securities
convertible into, or rights, warrants or options to purchase or subscribe to, or
enter into any arrangement or contract with respect to the issuance or sale of
any shares of its capital stock or any of its other securities, or make any
other changes in its capital structure, then subject to the provisions of
Section 14 below, Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may make such adjustments
as it deems appropriate in the Offer Price and other terms of the Offer,
including, without limitation, the number or type of securities offered to be
purchased.
 
     If, on or after the date of the Merger Agreement, the Company should
declare, pay, set aside or make any cash dividend or make other distributions or
payments with respect to any shares of its capital stock, or issue with respect
to any shares of its capital stock any additional shares, shares of any other
class of capital stock, other securities or any securities convertible into, or
rights, warrants or options, conditional or otherwise, to acquire, any of the
foregoing, payable or distributable to shareholders of record on a date prior to
the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer to the Purchaser on
the Company's stock transfer records, then, subject to the provisions of Section
14 below, (a) the Offer Price may, in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, be
reduced by the amount of any such cash dividend or cash distribution and (b) the
whole of any such noncash dividend, distribution or issuance to be received by
the Tendering Shareholder will (i) be received and held by the Tendering
Shareholder for the account of the Purchaser and will be required to be promptly
remitted and transferred by each tendering Shareholder to the Depositary for the
account of the Purchaser, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer,
or (ii) at the direction of the Purchaser, be exercised for the benefit of the
Purchaser, in which case the proceeds of each exercise will promptly be remitted
to the Purchaser Pending such remittance and subject to applicable law, the
Purchaser will be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of any such
noncash dividend, distribution, issuance or proceeds and may withhold the entire
Offer Price or deduct from the Offer Price the amount or value thereof, as
determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion.
 
     Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is prohibited
from taking any of the actions described in the preceding paragraphs and nothing
herein shall constitute a waiver by the Purchaser or Parent of any of its rights
under the Merger Agreement or a limitation of remedies available to the
Purchaser or Parent for any breach of the Merger Agreement, including
termination thereof.
 
     13.  EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON THE MARKET FOR THE SHARES; EXCHANGE LISTING AND
          EXCHANGE ACT REGISTRATION.
 
     The purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will reduce the number of
Shares that might otherwise trade publicly and will reduce the number of holders
of Shares, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the
remaining Shares held by the public.
 
     According to its published guidelines, the AMEX would consider delisting
the Shares if, among other things, the number of record holders of at least 100
Shares would fall below 300, the number of publicly held Shares (exclusive of
holdings of officers, directors, controlling shareholders or other family or
concentrated holdings) should fall below 200,000 or the aggregate market value
of publicly held Shares should fall below $1,000,000. If, as a result of the
purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, the Shares no longer meet
the guidelines of the AMEX for continued listing and the listing of the Shares
is discontinued, the market for the Shares could be adversely affected.
 
     If the AMEX were to delist the Shares, it is possible that the Shares would
continue to trade on another securities exchange or in the over-the-counter
market and that price or other quotations would be reported by such exchange or
through the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System ("NASDAQ") or other sources. The extent of the public market therefor and
the availability of such
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   31
quotations would depend, however, upon such factors as the number of
shareholders and/or the aggregate market value of such securities remaining at
such time, the interest in maintaining a market in the Shares on the part of
securities firms, the possible termination of registration under the Exchange
Act as described below, and other factors. The Purchaser cannot predict whether
the reduction in the number of Shares that might otherwise trade publicly would
have an adverse or beneficial effect on the market price for or marketability of
the Shares or whether it would cause future market prices to be greater or less
than the Offer Price.
 
     The Shares are currently "margin securities", as such term is defined under
the rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD"), which has the effect, among other things, of allowing brokers
to extend credit on the collateral of such securities. Depending upon factors
similar to those described above regarding listing and market quotations,
following the Offer it is possible that the Shares might no longer constitute
"margin securities" for purposes of the margin regulations of the Federal
Reserve Board, in which event such Shares could no longer be used as collateral
for loans made by brokers.
 
     The Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. Such
registration may be terminated upon application of the Company to the Commission
if the Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange and there are
fewer than 300 record holders of the Shares. The termination of registration of
the Shares under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the information
required to be furnished by the Company to holders of Shares and to the
Commission and would make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the
short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b), the requirement of
furnishing a proxy statement in connection with shareholders' meetings pursuant
to Section 14(a), and the requirements of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act with
respect to "going private" transactions, no longer applicable to the Shares. In
addition, "affiliates" of the Company and persons holding "restricted
securities" of the Company may be deprived of the ability to dispose of such
securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
     If registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act were terminated, the
Shares would no longer be "margin securities" or be eligible for NASDAQ
reporting.
 
     It is Parent's intention to cause the Shares to be deregistered under the
Exchange Act and delisted from the AMEX as soon as practicable after
satisfaction of the conditions for such deregistration.
 
     14.  CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.
 
     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, and in addition to (and
not in limitation of) the Purchaser's rights to extend and amend the Offer at
any time in its sole discretion (subject to the provisions of the Merger
Agreement), the Purchaser shall not be required to accept for payment or,
subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule
14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to the Purchaser's obligation to pay
for or return tendered Shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of the
Offer), pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of or, subject to the
restriction referred to above, the payment for, any tendered Shares, and may
terminate the Offer as to any Shares not then paid for, if:
 
          (i) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has not expired or
     terminated;
 
          (ii) the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied;

          or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (i) challenging or seeking
          to, or which could reasonably be expected to make illegal, impede,
          delay or otherwise directly or indirectly restrain, prohibit or make
          materially more costly the Offer or the Merger or seeking to obtain
          material damages, (ii) seeking to prohibit or materially limit the
          ownership or operation by Parent or Purchaser of all or any material
          portion of the business or assets of the Company or any of its

        business or assets of Parent or Purchaser or the Company or any of its
        subsidiaries taken as a whole, or seeking to impose any material
        limitation on the ability of Parent or Purchaser to conduct its business
        or own such assets, (iii) seeking to impose material limitations on the
        ability of Parent or Purchaser effectively to exercise full rights of

        vote any Shares acquired or owned by Purchaser or Parent on all matters
        properly presented to the Company's stockholders, (iv) seeking to
        require divestiture by Parent or Purchaser of any Shares, or (v)
        otherwise materially adversely affecting the condition of the Company
        and its subsidiaries taken as a whole;
 
             (b) any court shall have entered an order which is in effect and
        which (i) makes illegal, impedes, delays or otherwise directly or
        indirectly restrains, prohibits or makes materially more costly the
        Offer or the Merger, (ii) prohibits or materially limits the ownership
        or operation by Parent or Purchaser of all or any material portion of
        the business or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries taken
        as a whole or compels Parent or Purchaser to dispose of or hold
        separately all or any material portion of the business or assets of
        Parent or Purchaser or the Company or any of its subsidiaries taken as a
        whole, or imposes any material limitation on the ability of Parent or
        Purchaser to conduct its business or own such assets, (iii) imposes
        material limitations on the ability of Parent or Purchaser effectively
        to exercise full rights of ownership of the Shares, including, without
        limitation, the right to vote any Shares acquired or owned by Purchaser
        or Parent on all matters properly presented to the Company's
        stockholders, (iv) requires divestiture by Parent or Purchaser of any
        Shares, or (v) otherwise materially adversely affects the Company and
        its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that in the case
        of a preliminary injunction to the effect described in this paragraph
        (b), the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not be deemed to have
        been triggered until the earlier of (X) the date on which such
        injunction becomes final or (Y) the Company ceases its efforts to have
        such preliminary injunction dissolved;
 
             (c) there shall be any action taken, or any statute, rule,

        enacted, enforced, promulgated, amended, issued or deemed applicable to
        (i) Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or
        (ii) the Offer or the Merger, by any legislative body, court, government
        or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency,
        domestic or foreign, other than the routine application of the waiting
        period provisions of the HSR Act to the Offer or to the Merger, which
        could reasonably be expected to directly or indirectly result in any of
        the consequences referred to in clauses (i) through (v) of paragraph (a)
        above;
 
             (d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading
        in, or limitation on prices for, securities on the American Stock
        Exchange for a period in excess of three hours (excluding suspensions or
        limitations resulting solely from physical damage or interference with
        such exchanges not related to market conditions), (ii) a declaration of
        a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks
        in the United States (whether or not mandatory), (iii) a commencement of
        a war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity
        directly or indirectly involving the United States, (iv) any limitation

        or (vi) in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the
        commencement of the Offer, a material acceleration or worsening thereof;
 
             (e) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in
        the Merger Agreement shall not be true and correct in any material
        respect as of the date of consummation of the Offer as though made on or
        as of such date, except (i) for changes specifically permitted by the
        Merger Agreement and (ii) those representations and warranties that
        address matters only as of a particular date as true and correct as of
        such date, or the Company shall have breached or failed in any
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   33
        material respect to perform or comply with any material obligation,
        agreement or covenant required by the Merger Agreement to be performed
        or complied with by it;
 
             (f) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance
        with its terms;
 
             (g) (i) it shall have been publicly disclosed or Parent or the
        Purchaser shall have otherwise learned that any person, entity or
        "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3)of the Exchange Act), other than
        Parent or its affiliates or any group of which any of them is a member,
        shall have acquired beneficial ownership (determined pursuant to Rule
        13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 19.9% of any
        class or series of capital stock of the Company (including the Shares),
        through the acquisition of stock, the formation of a group or otherwise,
        or shall have been granted an option, right or warrant, conditional or
        otherwise, to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 19.9% of any
        class or series of capital stock of the Company (including the Shares);
        or (ii) any person or group shall have entered into a definitive
        agreement or agreement in principle with the Company with respect to a
        merger, consolidation or other business combination with the Company;
 
             (h) the Company's Board of Directors shall have withdrawn, or
        modified or changed in a manner adverse to Parent or the Purchaser
        (including by amendment of the Schedule 14D-9) its recommendation of the
        Offer, the Merger Agreement, or the Merger, or recommended another
        proposal or offer, or shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing;
 
             (i) any change shall have occurred or been threatened (or any
        condition, event or development shall have occurred or been threatened
        involving a prospective change), that is reasonably likely to have a
        material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets,
        liabilities, operations, results of operations, conditions (financial or
        otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a
        whole; or
 
             (j) all consents, registrations, approvals, permits,
        authorizations, notices, reports or other filings required to be
        obtained or made by the Company, Parent or Purchaser with or from any
        governmental or regulatory entity in connection with the execution,
        delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement, the Offer and the
        consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement
        shall not have been made or obtained and such failure could reasonably
        be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and any of
        its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or could be reasonably likely to
        prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions
        contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The foregoing conditions are for
        the sole benefit of the Purchaser and Parent and may be waived by Parent
        or the Purchaser, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time
        in the sole discretion of Parent or the Purchaser; provided that the
        Minimum Condition may not be waived without the written consent of the
        Company. The failure by Parent or the Purchaser at any time to exercise
        any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such
        right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be
        asserted at any time and from time to time.
 
     15.  REGULATORY APPROVALS; STATE TAKEOVER LAWS.
 
     GENERAL.  Except as otherwise disclosed herein, based on a review of
publicly available information by the Company with the Commission, neither the
Purchaser nor Parent is aware of (i) any license or regulatory permit that
appears to be material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, that might be adversely affected by the acquisition of Shares
by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer or the Merger or (ii) any approval or
other action by any governmental, administrative or regulatory agency or
authority, domestic or foreign, that would be required for the acquisition or
ownership of Shares by the Purchaser as contemplated herein. Should any such
approval or other action be required, the Purchaser currently contemplates that
such approval or action would be sought. While the Purchaser does not currently
intend to delay the acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to the
Offer pending the outcome of any such matter, there can be no assurance that any
such approval or action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to
the business of the Company, the Purchaser or Parent or that certain parts of
the businesses of the Company, the Purchaser or
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   34
Parent might not have to be disposed of in the event that such approvals were
not obtained or any other actions were not taken. The Purchaser's obligation
under the Offer to accept for payment and pay for Shares is subject to certain
conditions. See Section 14.
 
     ANTITRUST.  Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated
thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), certain acquisition
transactions may not be consummated unless certain information has been
furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the "ANTITRUST
DIVISION") and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been
satisfied. The acquisition of Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer is
subject to the HSR Act requirements.
 
     Under the provisions of the HSR Act applicable to the purchase of Shares
pursuant to the Offer, such purchase may not be made until the expiration of a
15-calendar day waiting period following the required filing under the HSR Act
by Parent, which Parent intends to make on April 23, 1996. Accordingly, if such
filing is made on April 23, 1996, the waiting period under the HSR Act will
expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on May 8, 1996, unless early
termination of the waiting period is granted or Parent receives a request for
additional information of documentary material prior thereto. Pursuant to the
HSR Act, Parent has requested, and the Company intends to request, early
termination of the waiting period applicable to the Offer. There can be no
assurances, however, that the 15-day HSR Act waiting period will be terminated
early. If either the FTC or the Antitrust Division were to request additional
information or documentary material from Parent, the waiting period would expire
at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on the tenth calendar day after the date of
substantial compliance by the Parent with such request. Thereafter, the waiting
period could be extended only by court order or by consent of Parent. If the
acquisition of Shares is delayed pursuant to a request by the FTC or the
Antitrust Division for additional information or documentary material pursuant
to the HSR Act, the purchase of and payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer
will be deferred until 10 days after the request is substantially complied with
unless the waiting period is terminated sooner by the FTC or the Antitrust
Division. See Section 2. Only one extension of such waiting period pursuant to a
request for additional information is authorized by the rules promulgated under
the HSR Act, except by court order. Although the Company is required to file
certain information and documentary material with the Antitrust Division and the
FTC in connection with the Offer, neither the Company's failure to make such
filings nor a request to the Company from the Antitrust Division or the FTC for
additional information or documentary material will extend the waiting period.
 
     No separate HSR Act requirements with respect to the Merger, the Merger
Agreement and the Tender Agreement will apply if the 15-day waiting period
relating to the Offer (as described above) has expired or been terminated.
However, if the Offer is withdrawn or if the filing relating to the Offer is
withdrawn prior to the expiration or termination of the 15-day waiting period
relating to the Offer, the acquisition of Shares in the Merger pursuant to the
Merger Agreement may not be consummated until 30 calendar days after receipt by
the Antitrust Division and the FTC of the Notification and Report Forms of both
Parent and the Company unless the 30-day period is earlier terminated by the
Antitrust Division and the FTC. Within such 30-day period, the Antitrust
Division or the FTC may request additional information or documentary materials
from Parent and/or the Company, in which event, the acquisition of Shares
pursuant to the Merger may not be consummated until 20 days after such requests
are substantially complied with by both Parent and the Company. Thereafter, the
waiting periods may be extended only by court order or by consent.
 
     The Antitrust Division and the FTC frequently scrutinize the legality under
the antitrust laws of transactions such as the proposed acquisition of Shares by
the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. At any time before or after the Purchaser's
purchase of Shares, either the Antitrust Division or the FTC could take such
action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public
interest, including seeking to enjoin the acquisition of Shares pursuant to the
Offer or seeking divestiture of Shares acquired by the Purchaser or divestiture
of substantial assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective
subsidiaries. Private parties may also bring legal action under the antitrust
laws under certain circumstances. Based upon an examination of publicly
available information relating to the businesses in which Parent and its
subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries are involved, Parent and the
Purchaser believe that the Offer will not
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   35
violate the antitrust laws. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a
challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge
is made, what the result will be.
 
     STATE TAKEOVER LAWS.  The Company is incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware. In general, Section 203 of Delaware Law prevents an
"interested shareholder" (generally a person who owns or has the right to
acquire 15% or more of a corporation's outstanding voting stock, or an affiliate
or associate thereof) from engaging in a "business combination" (defined to
include mergers and certain other transactions) with a Delaware corporation for
a period of three years following the date such person became an interested
shareholder unless, among other things, prior to such date the Board of
Directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction in which the interested shareholder became an interested
shareholder. On April 20, 1996, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement,
the Board of Directors of the Company, by unanimous vote of all directors
present at a meeting held on such date, (i) approved the Merger, (ii) approved
the Merger Agreement, the Tender Agreement and expressions of intent described
in Section 11, and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as
negotiations between Parent and the Purchaser and the Tendering Shareholder with
respect thereto, (iii) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, including each of the Offer and the Merger is fair to and
in the best interests of, the Shareholders of the Company and (iv) recommended
that the Shareholders of the Company accept the Offer and approve and adopt the
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, Section
203 is inapplicable to the Tender Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and
expressions of intent described in Section 11.
 
     The Company, directly or through subsidiaries, conducts business in a
number of states throughout the United States, some of which have enacted
takeover laws. The Purchaser does not know whether any of these laws will, by
their terms, apply to the Offer or the Merger and has not complied with any such
laws. Should any person seek to apply any state takeover law, the Purchaser will
take such action as then appears desirable, which may include challenging the
validity or applicability of any such statute in appropriate court proceedings.
In the event it is asserted that one or more state takeover laws is applicable
to the Offer or the Merger, and an appropriate court does not determine that it
is inapplicable or invalid as applied to the Offer, the Purchaser might be
required to file certain information with, or receive approvals from, the
relevant state authorities. In addition, if enjoined, the Purchaser might be
unable to accept for payment any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, or be
delayed in continuing or consummating the Offer, and the Merger. In such case,
the Purchaser may not be obligated to accept for payment any Shares tendered.
See Section 14.
 
     APPRAISAL RIGHTS.  No appraisal rights are available in connection with the
Offer. Holders of Shares will be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with
the Merger if at the record date with respect to the Merger certain requirements
are satisfied.
 
     Under Section 262 of the Delaware Law, appraisal rights are not available
for the shares of any class or series of stock which, at the record date fixed
to determine the Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the
meeting of Shareholders to act upon the agreement of merger, were either (i)
listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market
system security on an inter-dealer quotation system by the NASD or (ii) held of
record by more than 2,000 shareholders, unless the holders of such class or
series of stock are required by the terms of such agreement to accept for such
stock anything except (w) shares of stock of the corporation surviving or
resulting from such merger, (x) shares of stock of any other corporation which
at the effective date of the merger will be either listed on a national
securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an
inter-dealer quotation system by the NASD or held of record by more than 2,000
shareholders, (y) cash in lieu of fractional shares of the corporations
described in clauses (w) and (x) or (z) any combination of the shares of stock
and cash in lieu of fractional shares described in clauses (w), (x) and (y).
Shareholders of the Company may have certain rights under Section 262 of the
Delaware Law to dissent and demand appraisal of, and payment in cash of the fair
value of, their Shares. Such rights, if the statutory procedures were complied
with, could lead to a judicial determination of the fair value (excluding any
element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger)
required to be paid in cash to such dissenting holders for their Shares. Any
such judicial determination of the fair value of Shares could be based upon
considerations other than, or in addition to, the price paid in the Offer and
the
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   36
market value of the Shares, including asset values and the investment value of
the Shares. The value so determined could be more or less than the purchase
price per Share pursuant to the Offer or the consideration per Share to be paid
in the Merger.
 
     The foregoing summary of the rights of objecting Shareholders does not
purport to be a complete statement of the procedures to be followed by
Shareholders desiring to exercise any available dissenters' rights. The
preservation and exercise of dissenters' rights require strict adherence to the
applicable provisions of the Delaware Law.
 
     16.  FEES AND EXPENSES.  Except as set forth below, neither Parent nor the
Purchaser will pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person
for soliciting tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
 
     The Purchaser has retained Georgeson & Company, Inc. to act as the
Information Agent in connection with the Offer. The Information Agent may
contact holders of Shares by mail, telephone, facsimile, telegraph and personal
interviews and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee shareholders to
forward materials relating to the Offer to beneficial owners of Shares. The
Information Agent will receive reasonable and customary compensation for its
services, will be reimbursed for certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and
will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses in connection
therewith, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
     In addition, Harris Trust Company of New York has been retained as the
Depositary. The Depositary has not been retained to make solicitations or
recommendations in its role as Depositary. The Depositary will receive
reasonable and customary compensation for its services, will be reimbursed for
certain reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified against
certain liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including certain
liabilities under the federal securities laws. Brokers, dealers, commercial
banks and trust companies will be reimbursed by the Purchaser for customary
mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding offering material
to their customers.
 
     17.  MISCELLANEOUS.  The Purchaser is not aware of any jurisdiction where
the making of the Offer is prohibited by any administrative or judicial action
pursuant to any valid state statute. If the Purchaser becomes aware of any valid
state statute prohibiting the making of the Offer or the acceptance of the
Shares pursuant thereto, the Purchaser will make a good faith effort to comply
with such state statute. If, after such good faith effort, the Purchaser cannot
comply with any such state statute, the Offer will not be made to (nor will
tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) the holders of Shares in such state.
In any jurisdiction where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the
Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer shall be deemed to be
made on behalf of the Purchaser by one or more registered brokers or dealers
which are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
 
     NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF PARENT OR THE PURCHASER NOT CONTAINED IN THIS OFFER
TO PURCHASE OR IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH
INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATION MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED.
 
     Parent and the Purchaser have filed with the Commission the Schedule 14D-1,
together with exhibits, pursuant to Rule 14d-3 of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Exchange Act, furnishing certain additional information
with respect to the Offer, and may file amendments thereto. The Schedule 14D-1
and any amendments thereto, including exhibits, may be inspected at, and copies
may be obtained from, the same places and in the same manner as set forth in
Section 7 (except that they will not be available at the regional offices of the
Commission).

                      IN THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CAREFULLY
 
   LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
 
     The undersigned hereby tenders to Delaware Acquisition Co., a Delaware
corporation ("PURCHASER") and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Reynolds and
Reynolds Company, an Ohio corporation, the above-described shares of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), and the associated
preferred stock purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated
as of June 8, 1989, between Duplex Products Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY") and Harris Trust and Savings Bank as Rights Agent (the "RIGHTS" and,
together with the Common Stock, the "SHARES"), of the Company, pursuant to
Purchaser's offer to purchase all Shares at $12.00 per Share, net to the seller
in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase, dated April 22, 1996 (the "OFFER TO PURCHASE"), receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which together
constitute the "OFFER"). The undersigned understands that Purchaser reserves the
right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or
more of its affiliates, the right to purchase all or any portion of the Shares
tendered pursuant to the Offer.
 
     Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of the Shares
tendered herewith, in accordance with the terms of the Offer (including, if the
Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of such extension or
amendment), the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the
order of, Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that
are being tendered hereby and all dividends, distributions (including, without
limitation, distributions of additional Shares) and rights declared, paid or
distributed in respect of such Shares on or after April 22, 1996 (collectively,
"DISTRIBUTIONS"), and irrevocably appoints the Depositary the true and lawful
agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Shares and
all Distributions, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being
deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to (i) deliver
Share Certificates evidencing such Shares and all Distributions, or transfer
ownership of such Shares and all Distributions on the account books maintained
by a Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together, in either case, with all
accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of
Purchaser, (ii) present such Shares and all Distributions for transfer on the
books of the Company and (iii) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all
rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares and all Distributions, all in
accordance with the terms of the Offer.
 
     The undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints Adam M. Lutynski and Dale L.
Medford, and each of them, as the attorneys and proxies of the undersigned, each
with full power of substitution, to vote in such manner as each such attorney
and proxy or his substitute shall, in his or her sole discretion, deem proper
and otherwise act (by written consent or otherwise) with respect to all the
Shares tendered hereby which have been accepted for payment by Purchaser prior
to the time of such vote or other action and all Shares and other securities
issued in Distributions in respect of such Shares, which the undersigned is
entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders of the Company (whether annual
or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or consent in
lieu of any such meeting or otherwise. This proxy and power of attorney is
coupled with an interest in the Shares tendered hereby, is irrevocable and is
granted in consideration of, and is effective upon, the acceptance for payment
of such Shares by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Such
acceptance for payment shall revoke all other proxies and powers of attorney
granted by the undersigned at any time with respect to such Shares (and all
Shares and other securities issued in Distributions in respect of such Shares),
and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent
executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the undersigned
with respect thereto. The undersigned understands that, in order for Shares to
be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Purchaser's acceptance of such
Shares for payment, Purchaser must be able to exercise full voting and other
rights with respect to such Shares and all Distributions, including, without
limitation, voting at any meeting of the Company's shareholders then scheduled.
 
     The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has
full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares
tendered hereby and all Distributions, and that when such Shares are accepted
for payment by Purchaser, Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and
unencumbered title thereto and to all Distributions, free and clear of all
liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and that none of such Shares and
Distributions will be subject to any adverse claim. The undersigned, upon
request, shall execute and deliver all additional documents deemed by the
Depositary or Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale,
assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered
<PAGE>   4
 
hereby and all Distributions. In addition, the undersigned shall remit and
transfer promptly to the Depositary for the account of Purchaser all
Distributions in respect of the Shares tendered hereby, accompanied by
appropriate documentation of transfer, and, pending such remittance and transfer
or appropriate assurance thereof, Purchaser shall be entitled to all rights and
privileges as owner of each such Distribution and may withhold the entire
purchase price of the Shares tendered hereby, or deduct from such purchase price
the amount or value of such Distribution as determined by Purchaser in its sole
discretion.
 
     No authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall be affected
by, and all such authority shall survive, the death or incapacity of the
undersigned. All obligations of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon
the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
 
     The undersigned understands that tenders of Shares pursuant to any one of
the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the
instructions hereto will constitute the undersigned's acceptance of the terms
and conditions of the Offer. Purchaser's acceptance of such Shares for payment
will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
 
     Unless otherwise indicated herein in the box entitled "Special Payment
Instructions," please issue the check for the purchase price of all Shares
purchased, and return all Share Certificates evidencing Shares not purchased or
not tendered in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appearing above under

purchase price of all Shares purchased and all Share Certificates evidencing

and return all Share Certificates evidencing Shares not purchased or not
tendered in the name(s) of, and mail such check and Share Certificates to, the

obligation, pursuant to the Special Payment Instructions, to transfer any Shares
from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if Purchaser does not purchase
any of the Shares tendered hereby.

documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the
Depositary at one of its addresses set forth on the reverse hereof prior to the
Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase). If Share
Certificates are forwarded to the Depositary in multiple deliveries, a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each such
delivery. Shareholders whose Share Certificates are not immediately available,
who cannot deliver their Share Certificates and all other required documents to
the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date or who cannot complete the procedure
for delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis may tender their Shares
pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure described in Section 3 of the
Offer to Purchase. Pursuant to such procedure: (i) such tender must be made by
or through an Eligible Institution; (ii) a properly completed and duly executed
Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form made available by
Purchaser, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date; and
(iii) the Share Certificates evidencing all physically delivered Shares in
proper form for transfer by delivery, or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer
into the Depositary's account at a Book-Entry Transfer Facility of all Shares
delivered by book-entry transfer, in each case together with a Letter of
Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof), properly completed and duly executed, with
any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry delivery, an
Agent's Message), and any other documents required by this Letter of
Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary within three American Stock
Exchange ("AMEX") trading days after the date of execution of such Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, all as described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, SHARE CERTIFICATES AND ALL
OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH ANY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER
FACILITY, IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER, AND THE
DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY. IF
DELIVERY IS BY MAIL, REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY
INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO
ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.
 
     No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted and no
fractional Shares will be purchased. By execution of this Letter of Transmittal
(or a facsimile hereof), all tendering shareholders waive any right to receive
any notice of the acceptance of their Shares for payment.
 
     3. Inadequate Space.  If the space provided herein under "Description of
Shares Tendered" is inadequate, the Share Certificate numbers, the number of
Shares evidenced by such Share Certificates and the number of Shares tendered
should be listed on a separate schedule and attached hereto.
 
     4. Partial Tenders (not applicable to shareholders who tender by book-entry
transfer).  If fewer than all of the Shares evidenced by any Share Certificate
delivered to the Depositary herewith are to be tendered hereby, fill in the
number of Shares that are to be tendered in the box entitled "Number of Shares
Tendered." In such cases, new Share Certificate(s) evidencing the remainder of
the Shares that were evidenced by the Share Certificates delivered to the
Depositary herewith will be sent to the person(s) signing this Letter of
Transmittal, unless otherwise provided in the box
<PAGE>   8
 
entitled "Special Delivery Instructions" on the reverse hereof, as soon as
practicable after the expiration or termination of the Offer. All Shares
evidenced by Share Certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to
have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
 
     5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal; Stock Powers and Endorsements.  If
this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares
tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on
the face of the Share Certificates evidencing such Shares without alteration,
enlargement or any other change whatsoever.
 
     If any Share tendered hereby is owned of record by two or more persons, all
such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal.
 
     If any of the Shares tendered hereby are registered in the names of
different holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many
separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of such
Shares.
 
     If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the
Shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of Share Certificates or separate stock
powers are required, unless payment is to be made to, or Share Certificates
evidencing Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued in the name of,
a person other than the registered holder(s), in which case, the Share
Certificate(s) evidencing the Shares tendered hereby must be endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the
name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on such Share Certificate(s).
Signatures on such Share Certificate(s) and stock powers must be guaranteed by
an Eligible Institution.
 
     If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the
registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the Share Certificate(s)
evidencing the Shares tendered hereby must be endorsed or accompanied by
appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the
registered holder(s) appear(s) on such Share Certificate(s). Signatures on such
Share Certificate(s) and stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible

     If this Letter of Transmittal or any Share Certificate or stock power is
signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact,
officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence
satisfactory to Purchaser of such person's authority so to act must be
submitted.
 
     6. Stock Transfer Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction
6, Purchaser will pay all stock transfer taxes with respect to the sale and
transfer of any Shares to it or its order pursuant to the Offer. If, however,
payment of the purchase price of any Shares purchased is to be made to, or Share
Certificate(s) evidencing Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued
in the name of, a person other than the registered holder(s), the amount of any
stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), such other
person or otherwise) payable on account of the transfer to such other person
will be deducted from the purchase price of such Shares purchased, unless
evidence satisfactory to Purchaser of the payment of such taxes, or exemption
therefrom, is submitted. Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not
be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Share Certificates
evidencing the Shares tendered hereby.
 
     7. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.  If a check for the purchase
price of any Shares tendered hereby is to be issued, or Share Certificate(s)
evidencing Shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued, in the name of
a person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or if such
check or any such Share Certificate is to be sent to someone other than the
person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal or to the person(s) signing this
Letter of Transmittal but at an address other than that shown in the box
entitled "Description of Shares Tendered" on the reverse hereof, the appropriate
boxes on the reverse of this Letter of Transmittal must be completed.
 
     8. Questions and Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies.  Questions
and requests for assistance may be directed to the Information Agent at its
addresses or telephone numbers set forth below. Additional copies of the Offer
to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery
may be obtained from the Information Agent or from brokers, dealers, commercial
banks or trust companies.
 
     9. Substitute Form W-9.  Each tendering shareholder is required to provide
the Depositary with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN") on the
Substitute Form W-9 which is provided under "Important Tax Information" below,
and to certify, under penalties of perjury, that such number is correct and that
such shareholder is not subject to backup withholding of federal income tax. If
a tendering shareholder has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that
such shareholder is subject to backup withholding, such shareholder must cross
out item (2) of the Certification box
<PAGE>   9
 
of the Substitute Form W-9, unless such shareholder has since been notified by
the Internal Revenue Service that such shareholder is no longer subject to
backup withholding. Failure to provide the information on the Substitute Form
W-9 may subject the tendering shareholder to 31 percent federal income tax
withholding on the payment of the purchase price of all Shares purchased from
such shareholder. If the tendering shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has
applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such shareholder
should write "Applied For" in the space provided for the TIN in Part I of the
Substitute Form W-9, and sign and date the Substitute Form W-9. If "Applied For"
is written in Part I and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within 60
days, the Depositary will withhold 31 percent on all payments of the purchase
price to such shareholder until a TIN is provided to the Depositary.
 
     10. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates.  If any certificate(s)
representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the Shareholder should
promptly notify the Depositary. The Shareholder will then be instructed as to
the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate(s). This Letter
of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures
for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed.
 
     IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR FACSIMILE HEREOF), PROPERLY
COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED, OR AN AGENT'S MESSAGE IN THE CASE OF A BOOK-ENTRY
DELIVERY (TOGETHER WITH ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEES AND SHARE CERTIFICATES
OR CONFIRMATION OF BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS), OR A
PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY MUST BE
RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE (AS DEFINED IN THE OFFER
TO PURCHASE).
 
                           IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
 
     Under the federal income tax law, a shareholder whose tendered Shares are
accepted for payment is required to provide the Depositary (as payer) with such
shareholder's correct TIN on Substitute Form W-9 below. If such shareholder is
an individual, the TIN is such shareholder's social security number. If the
Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the shareholder may be subject
to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, payments
that are made to such shareholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to
the Offer may be subject to backup withholding of 31 percent (as described
below).
 
     Certain shareholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain
foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting
requirements. In order for a foreign individual to qualify as an exempt
recipient, such individual must submit an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8,
signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such individual's exempt status.
A Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary. See the enclosed Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 for
additional instructions.
 
     If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 31
percent of any payments made to the shareholder. Backup withholding is not an
additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup
withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding
results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal
Revenue Service.
 
PURPOSE OF SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
 
     To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a shareholder
with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, the shareholder is
required to notify the Depositary of such shareholder's correct TIN by
completing the form below certifying (a) that the TIN provided on Substitute
Form W-9 is correct (or that such shareholder is awaiting a TIN), and (b) that
(i) such shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that
such shareholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to
report all interest or dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has
notified such shareholder that such shareholder is no longer subject to backup
withholding.
 
WHAT NUMBER TO GIVE THE DEPOSITARY
 
     The shareholder is required to give the Depositary the social security
number or employer identification number of the record holder of the Shares
tendered hereby. If the Shares are in more than one name or are not in the name
of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of
Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form
<PAGE>   10
 
W-9 for additional guidance on which number to report. If the tendering
shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a number or intends to
apply for a number in the near future, the shareholder should write "Applied
For" in the space provided for the TIN in Part I, and sign and date the
Substitute Form W-9. If "Applied For" is written in Part I and the Depositary is
not provided with a TIN within 60 days, the Depositary will withhold 31 percent
of all payments of the purchase price to such shareholder until a TIN is
provided to the Depositary.

                         NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
 
OBTAINING A NUMBER
 
If you do not have a taxpayer identification number or you do not know your
number, obtain Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Number Card (for
individuals), or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number (for
businesses and all other entities), at an office of the Social Security
Administration or the Internal Revenue Service.
 
To complete Substitute Form W-9, if you do not have a taxpayer identification
number, write "Applied For" in the space for the taxpayer identification number
in Part 1, sign and date the Form, and give it to the requester. Generally, you
will then have 60 days to obtain a taxpayer identification number and furnish it

number within 60 days, backup withholding, if applicable, will begin and will
continue until you furnish your taxpayer identification number to the requester.

    to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
 
(2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING--If you make
    a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition of
    backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.
 
(3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION--If you falsify certifications
    or affirmations, you are subject to criminal penalties including fines
    and/or imprisonment.

THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY
TIME, ON FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1996, (THE "EXPIRATION DATE"), UNLESS THE OFFER IS
EXTENDED.
 
     THE OFFER IS CONDITIONED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, UPON SATISFACTION, IN
PURCHASER'S SOLE DISCRETION, OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: (1) THE CONDITION (THE
"MINIMUM CONDITION") THAT THERE SHALL HAVE BEEN VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT

REPRESENTING AT LEAST 70% OF ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES ON A FULLY DILUTED BASIS ON

     The Offer is being made in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") dated as of April 20, 1996, among the Company,
Purchaser and Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, Purchaser will merge with and into
the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company to be the surviving corporation in
such Merger, and each outstanding Share of the Company (other than Shares held
by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, which will be cancelled, and Shares held by
stockholders who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law)
<PAGE>   2
 
will be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price.
Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue as the
surviving corporation and will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
 
     Certain shareholders of the Company representing approximately 30% of the
Shares have expressed their present intent to tender their Shares in accordance
with the terms of the Offer to Purchase.
 
     The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously has determined that each
of the Offer and the Merger is fair and in the best interests of the
stockholders of the Company and unanimously has approved the Offer and the
Merger and recommends that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and
tender their Shares.
 
     For purposes of the Offer, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for
payment (and thereby purchased) tendered Shares as, if and when Purchaser gives
oral or written notice to the Depositary (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)
of its acceptance of such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. In all
cases, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, payment for
Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made by deposit of the purchase
price therefor with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering
stockholders for the purpose of receiving payments from the Purchaser and
transmitting such payments to validly tendering stockholders.
 
     Under no circumstances will interest on the purchase price for Shares be
paid by the Purchaser by reason of any delay in making such payment. In all
cases, payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be
made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of (a) certificates for such
Shares ("Share Certificates") or timely confirmation of the book-entry transfer
of such Shares into the Depositary's account at The Depository Trust Company,
the Midwest Securities Trust Company or the Philadelphia Depository Trust
Company (collectively, the "Book-Entry Transfer Facilities"), pursuant to the
procedures set forth in "The Tender Offer -- Section 3. Procedures for Tendering
Shares" in the Offer to Purchase, (b) the Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile

guarantees (or, alternatively, an Agent's Message, as set forth in the Offer to
Purchase) and (c) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.
 
     The term "Expiration Date" means 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on
Friday, May 17, 1996, unless and until the Purchaser, in its sole discretion,
shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which
event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date at which
the Offer, as so extended by the Purchaser, shall expire. The Purchaser
expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time
to time, to extend the period during which the Offer is open for any reason,
including the nonsatisfaction of any of the conditions specified in the Offer to
Purchase, by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary,
followed as promptly as practicable by public announcement no later than 9:00
A.M., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously
scheduled Expiration Date. During any such extension, all Shares previously
tendered and not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer, subject to the
right of tendering stockholders to withdraw such stockholder's Shares.
 
     The Purchaser's acceptance for payment of Shares tendered pursuant to any
one of the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of
Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering
stockholder and the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Offer. Except as otherwise provided in "The Tender Offer -- Section 4.
Withdrawal Rights" in the Offer to Purchase, tenders of Shares made pursuant to
the Offer are irrevocable. Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be
withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore
accepted for payment as provided herein, may also be withdrawn at any time after
June 20, 1996. For a withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at
its address set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase. Any such
notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the Shares
to be withdrawn, and if Share Certificates have been tendered, the name of the
registered holder of the Shares as set forth in the Share Certificate, if
different from that of the person who tendered such Shares. If Share
Certificates have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then
prior to the physical release of such certificates, the tendering stockholder
must submit the serial numbers shown on the particular certificates evidencing
the Shares to be withdrawn and the signature on the
<PAGE>   3
 
notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (as defined
in the Offer to Purchase), except in the case of Shares tendered for the account
of an Eligible Institution. If Shares have been tendered pursuant to the
procedures for book-entry transfer as set forth in "The Tender Offer -- Section
3. Procedure for Tendering Shares" in the Offer to Purchase, the notice of
withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the appropriate
Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Shares, in which
case a notice of withdrawal will be effective if a written or facsimile
transmission notice of withdrawal is timely received by the Depositary at its
address set forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase. Withdrawals of
Shares may not be rescinded. Any Shares properly withdrawn will be deemed not
validly tendered for purposes of the Offer, but may be retendered at any
subsequent time prior to the Expiration Date by following any of the procedures
described in "The Tender Offer -- Section 3. Procedure for Tendering Shares" in
the Offer to Purchase. All questions as to the form and validity (including time
of receipt) of any notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser, in
its sole discretion, whose determination will be final and binding.
 
     The information required to be disclosed by Rule 14d-6(e)(1)(vii) of the
General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, is contained in the Offer to Purchase and is incorporated herein by

position listings to the Purchaser for the purpose of disseminating the Offer to
stockholders. The Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and,

nominees, appear on the stockholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as
participants in a clearing agency's security listing.

            REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS TO ACQUIRE DUPLEX PRODUCTS INC.
                 CASH TENDER OFFER FOR ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES
                 --------------------------------------------

        DAYTON, Ohio, April 22, 1996 -- The Reynolds and Reynolds Company
(NYSE:REY) and Duplex Products Inc. (AMEX:DPX) jointly announced today that the
companies have signed a definitive merger agreement whereby Reynolds will
acquire all of the outstanding stock of Duplex at $12 per share, or
approximately $90 million. To execute the agreement, Reynolds has initiated a
cash tender offer.

        David R. Holmes, Reynolds' chairman, president and CEO said, "Both
companies agree that Duplex customers will significantly benefit from Reynolds'
broader product line, our more extensive forms management services, and our
comprehensive customer support systems. In addition to expanding our general
business customer base with prime candidates for our value-added forms
management services business, the merger will generate significant cash and
earnings for Reynolds, which will allow us to continue to invest aggressively
for growth in all of our businesses.

        "The acquisition of Duplex follows a series of similar business
combinations we've directed over the past several years. As we consolidate
overlapping administrative functions, production and distribution, we will
better utilize capacity, increase efficiency and establish strong profitability
in the business."

        Holmes said that completion of the merger is conditioned on the tender
of at least 70 percent of the outstanding shares of Duplex. He reported that
shareholders owning approximately 30 percent of the outstanding shares of
Duplex have already indicated support of the transaction. The acquisition is
expected to have a neutral to slightly positive impact on Reynolds'
third-quarter financial results. Holmes said.

        Andrew A. Campbell, Duplex president, said, "While Duplex's performance
has been improving steadily since the third quarter of fiscal 1995, and would
be further enhanced by recently announced cost-cutting actions, the merger is
in the best long-term interests of shareholders. This is especially true given
the risks facing Duplex related to continued contraction and excess capacity
in the business forms industry, Duplex's relative size and the continued
investments required to devleop many of the technology-related offerings that
already exist at Reynolds. Reynolds' reputation for innovation and its 
organizationwide focus on customer satisfaction will provide Duplex employees 
and customers with a bright future. We're very pleased that this business 
combination came together."


        Duplex, headquartered in Sycamore, Ill., reported sales of $275 million
in fiscal 1995. The company provides business forms and labels, electronic
printing and mailing services, forms management programs, forms automation
solutions and process analysis to customers throughout the United States.

        Reynolds and Reynolds, headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, is a leading
provider of integrated information

                          AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOAN

SECTION 2.1 COMMITMENT.

         Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Bank
agrees, at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date, to make
loans (each a "Loan") to either of the Borrowers, which Loans (i) shall, at the
opinion of a Borrower, be either Prime Loans, CD Loans, Eurodollar Loans or, in
the Bank's sole discretion if a Borrower requests, Special Facility Loans and
(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof. The
Loans made to both of the Borrowers shall not exceed in aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding the Commitment. 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16
SECTION 2.2 MINIMUM AMOUNT OF EACH BORROWING.

         (a) The principal amount of each Loan shall: (i) in the case of Fixed
Rate Loans, be not less than $1,000,000 or, if greater, in integral multiples of
$1,000,000 or (ii) in the case of Prime Loans, be not less than $100,000 or, if
greater, in integral multiples of $100,000.

         (b) The Borrowers shall not be entitled to have more than ten Loans in
the aggregate outstanding at any one time.

SECTION 2.3 NOTICES OF BORROWING.

         (a) Whenever either of the Borrowers desires to borrow a Loan (other
than a Special Facility Loan), it shall give the Bank at its Principal Office
written notice or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) of such
borrowing (x) in the case of a CD Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, by no later than
10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date of borrowing and (y) in the case
of a Prime Loan, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on the
date of borrowing. Each such notice (each, together with any notice electing to
incur a Special Facility Loan given in accordance with Section 2.3(b), a "Notice
of Borrowing") shall specify (i) the principal amount which such Borrower
desires to borrow, (ii) the date of borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) whether such Loan is to be maintained as a Prime Loan, CD Loan or
Eurodollar Loan and (iv) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.4 DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.

         No later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date specified
in each Notice of Borrowing, the Bank shall make available to the Borrower
incurring the same the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date in U.S.
dollars and in immediately available funds by the Bank crediting an account of
such Borrower designated by it and maintained with the Bank at its Principal
Office. To the extent that a Loan made to such Borrower matures on such date,
the Bank shall apply the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date, to the
extent thereof, to the repayment of such maturing Loan.

SECTION 2.5 THE NOTES.

         The obligation of each Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest
on, all Loans made to it shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in
the form of Exhibits A and B (each a "Note") payable to the order of the Bank
duly executed and delivered by Borrowers with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith. Each Note shall: (i) be dated the Effective Date; (ii) be
in the original principal amount of the Commitment and be payable in the
principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby; (iii) mature in the case of
each Loan evidenced thereby on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (iv) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.6
in respect of the Prime Loans, CD Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may
be, evidenced thereby; and (v) be entitled to the benefits of this 

                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17
Agreement. The Bank shall maintain internal records showing each Loan made
hereunder and each principal and interest payment thereon, which records shall,
absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. Although each Note
shall be dated the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable
only for the periods during which Loans are evidenced thereby and although the
stated principal amount of each Note shall be equal to the Commitment, each note
shall be enforceable with respect to the obligation of a Borrower to pay the
principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans evidenced thereby.

SECTION 2.6 INTEREST.

         (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Prime Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be 1/4 of 1% in excess of the Prime
Rate.

         (b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each CD Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof
are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum which shall be 3/4 of 1% in excess of the relevant CD Rate.

         (c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be 1/2 of 1% in excess of the
relevant Quoted Rate.

         (d) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest in respect of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to 3% in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time; provided,
however, that no Loan shall bear interest after maturity at a rate per annum
less than the rate of interest applicable thereto at maturity.

         (e) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing
to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Prime Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest
Period applicable to such Loan and on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid),
and, in the case of all Loans, on the Termination Date, and, after maturity,
upon demand.

SECTION 2.7 INTEREST PERIODS.

         At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower shall have the
right to elect by giving the Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable
to such Loan, which Interest Period shall (w) in the case of Prime Loans, be a
period of from 7 to 90 days, (x) in the case of CD Loans, be either a 30, 60
or 90 days period, and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be either 

                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18
a one, two or three month period, the determination of Interest Periods shall be
subject to the following provisions:

        (i)   The Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of 
such Loan;

        (ii)  If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period in respect of a
Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but
is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

        (iii) No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date; and

        (iv)  No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which the
Loans (or any portion thereof) are required to be prepaid pursuant to Section
2.14, unless the aggregate principal amount of Loans which are Prime Loans or
which have Interest Periods which will expire on or before such date is equal to
or in excess of the amount of such prepayment.

SECTION 2.8 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.

        (a)  In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) at
any time:

        (i)  that by reason of: (x) the requirements of Regulation D (excluding
             all reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in
             the computation of the Quoted Rate or the CD Rate), (y) any change
             since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or
             governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether
             or not having the force of law) or any interpretation or
             administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
             or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
             governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request) and/or
             (z) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, other circumstances affecting
             the Bank or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of the
             Bank in such market (such as for example but not limited to a
             change in the official reserve requirements to the extent not
             provided for in clause (i)(x) above), the Quoted Rate or the CD
             Rate, as the case may be, shall not represent the effective pricing
             to the Bank for making, funding or maintaining the affected Fixed
             Rate Loan; or

        (ii) that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become
             unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law or
             any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request, or
             has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring
             after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely
             affects the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in any such
             event, the Bank shall on such date give notice (by telephone
             confirmed in writing) of 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>   19
             such determination to the Borrower which has requested or which has
             incurred such affected Fixed Rate Loan. Thereafter (x) in the case
             of clause (i), such Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon written
             demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an
             increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest
             or otherwise as the Bank in its reasonable discretion shall
             determine) as shall be required to compensate or reimburse the Bank
             for the increased costs resulting from the circumstances described
             in such clause (i); provided, however, that the liability of the
             Borrowers to compensate or reimburse the Bank for increased costs
             resulting from a circumstance described in such clause (i) prior to
             the first demand by the Bank for such compensation or reimbursement
             shall be limited to those increased costs incurred in the one year
             period preceding the date of such demand (a written notice as to
             additional amounts owed the Bank pursuant to this clause (x),
             showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to such
             Borrower by the Bank shall, absent manifest error, be final,
             conclusive and binding); and (y) in the case of clause (ii), take
             one of the actions specified in Section 2.8(b) as promptly as
             possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

         (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower which has requested or
which has incurred such Fixed Rate Loan may (and, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a)(ii) shall)
either (x) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a
Notice of Borrowing by giving the Bank telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in
writing) thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the Bank
pursuant to Section 2.8(a) either (i) cancel such borrowing or (ii) require the
Bank to make the requested Fixed Rate Loan as a Prime Loan or (y) if the
affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days'
written notice to the Bank, require the Bank to convert the Fixed Rate Loan so
affected into a Prime Loan.

         (c) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) on
any date for determining the Quoted Rate for any Interest Period that, by reason
of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the applicable interest
rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Quoted Rate, then the bank
shall on such date give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) of such
determination to the Borrower which has requested such affected Eurodollar Loan
and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bank shall have
no obligation to make, and shall not make, the requested Eurodollar Loan unless
the Borrower requesting such Eurodollar Loan agrees in writing on the date it is
notified of such determination by the Bank to pay to the Bank, upon written
demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of,
or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Bank in its
reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to cause the Bank to
receive interest with respect to such affected Eurodollar Loan 

                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20
at a rate per annum which shall equal the effective pricing to the Bank to make
such Eurodollar Loan plus the applicable percentage in excess of the Quoted Rate
referred to in Section 2.6(c).

         (d) If the Bank determines at any time that any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not
having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request), will have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Bank
based on the existence of the Commitment or its obligations hereunder, then the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank, upon its written
demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the
Bank for the increased cost or reduced rate of return to the Bank as a result of
such increase of capital; provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers
to compensate the Bank under this Section 2.8(d) prior to the first demand by
the Bank for such compensation shall be limited to compensation for the
increased cost or reduced rate of return incurred in the one year period
preceding the date of such demand. In determining such additional amounts, the
Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that the Bank's determination
of compensation owing under this Section 2.8(d) shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding.

SECTION 2.9 COMPENSATION.

         Each Borrower shall compensate the Bank with respect to any Fixed Rate
Loan made or to be made to it, upon the Bank's written request (which request
shall set forth the basis in reasonable detail for requesting such amounts), for
all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any interest paid by the Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or
carry a Fixed Rate Loan to the extent not recovered by the Bank in connection
with the re-employment of such funds), which the Bank may sustain: (i) if for
any reason (other than a default by the Bank) a borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan
does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, (ii) if
any prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of a Fixed
Rate Loan is not made on the date specified in a notice of prepayment given
pursuant to Section 2.13 or (iv) as a consequence of (x) without duplication of
any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.6(e), any other default by such Borrower
to repay a Fixed Rate Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y)
an election made by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b). For purposes of
this Section 2.9, the rate of interest which the Bank shall be deemed to earn
from the re-employment of funds shall be a rate of interest per annum,
determined by the Bank in good faith, equal to the rate found at that point of
the United States Treasury securities yield curve (determined with such
interpolation as is necessary) for securities (if they were to be issued) with a
term to maturity comparable to the Fixed Rate Loan in question, such yield curve
to be constructed by the Bank using then current asking prices by dealers in
United States Treasury securities for the offering for sale of current issues
(most recently auctioned) of Treasury Bills and converting such prices into
yield rates. 

                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21
SECTION 2.10 COMMITMENT COMMISSION.

         The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank a
commitment commission (the "Commitment Commission") for the period from the date
hereof until the Termination Date computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum
on the daily average unutilized portion of the Commitment; payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.11 REDUCTION IN COMMITMENT.

         The Borrowers shall jointly have the right, at any time and from time
to time, upon at least 30 Business Days' prior written notice to the Bank, to
irrevocably reduce the unutilized portion of the Commitment, in whole or in
part, provided that partial reductions shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or
an integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.12 PAYMENTS ON NONBUSINESS DAYS.

         Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if a payment of
principal has been so extended, interest shall be payable on such principal at
the applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, in the event that
the day on which any such payment relating to a Eurodollar Loan is due is not a
Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day
occurs in such month, then the due date thereof shall be the next preceding
Business Day.

SECTION 2.13 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS.

         The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, from time to time pursuant to this Section
2.13 on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower prepaying a Loan
shall give the Bank at its Principal Office at least three Business Days', in
the case of a prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans, or one Business Day's, in the case
of a prepayment of Prime Loans prior written notice or telephonic notice
(confirmed promptly in writing) of its intent to prepay, the amount of such
prepayment and which Loans are to be prepaid; (ii) each prepayment shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the case of
Fixed Rate Loans or $100,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the case of
Prime Loans; and (iii) at the time of any prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans, such
Borrower shall pay all interest accrued on the principal amount of such
prepayment. It is understood that each prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 2.9.

SECTION 2.14 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

         The Borrowers agree to make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the
Loans outstanding on each Quarterly Principal Payment Date, each such prepayment
to be in a 

                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22

for costs for any Loan.

the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of
Regulation G, T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(herein called "Margin Stock"), or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any
indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry a margin stock
or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a "purpose
credit" within the meaning of Regulation U or X, or in any manner which might
involve any Bank in a violation of Regulation U or Regulation X, or cause this
Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby to violate Regulation U,
Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal

anticipated which would materially and adversely affect the Borrower's

         The Borrowers are in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable provisions of ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a Prohibited
Transaction has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan; no notice
of intent to terminate a Plan has been filed nor has any Plan been terminated
for which there are any unfunded outstanding liabilities; no circumstances exist
which constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA entitling the PBGC to
institute proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administrate, a
Plan, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceedings; neither the Borrowers
nor any ERISA affiliate have completely or partially withdrawn under Sections
4201 or 4204 of ERISA from a multiemployer Plan; the Borrowers, and each ERISA
affiliate, have met its minimum funding requirement under ERISA with respect to
all of its Plans and the present fair market value of all Plan assets exceeds
the present value of all vested benefits under each Plan, as determined on the
most recent valuation of the Plan assets and in accordance with the provisions
of ERISA and the regulations thereunder for calculating the potential liability
of the Borrowers or any ERISA affiliate to the PBGC or the Plan under Title IV
of ERISA; and neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA affiliate has incurred any
liability to the PBGC under ERISA.

SECTION 3.17 ACTS OF GOD.

         Neither the business nor the properties of the Borrowers are affected
by any fire, explosion, accident, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo,
act of God or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) which
materially or adversely affects such business or property or operation of the
Borrowers.

SECTION 3.18 NO SUBORDINATION.

         The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to any of the Loan Documents
are not subordinated in any manner to any other obligation of the Borrowers.

SECTION 3.19  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.

         (a) To the Borrower's knowledge, the Borrowers are in material
compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to
environmental protection, the violation of which would have a material effect on
the Borrower's business. The Borrowers have not received any written or oral
communication or notice from any court or governmental agency

                                      -27-
<PAGE>   28
nor are they aware of any investigation by any agency for any material violation
of any environmental protection law or regulation.

         (c) The Borrowers agree to comply with all applicable requirements in
effect from time to time of all federal, state, local and other governmental
authorities with respect to environmental protection.

         (d) The Borrowers further agree promptly to notify the Bank of any
environmental proceedings brought or threatened by any state or federal agency
against the Borrower, and the Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and hold the
Bank harmless from and against any claim which may be brought against the Bank
by any state or federal agency by reason of the Bank being a lender to the
Borrower.

         (e) The Borrowers agree further that, in view of recent environmental
litigation involving bank lenders, the Borrowers waive any right and agree to
assert no claim against the Bank which might otherwise arise or be claimed by
the Borrowers, should the Bank elect to forego its rights to seek satisfaction
of Borrower's obligations to Bank from any of Borrower's real estate for the
reason that enforcement of such rights might expose the Bank to liability for
Hazardous Materials upon such real estate under federal or state environmental
laws or regulations.

         (f) For purposes of this paragraph, "Hazardous Materials" includes,
without limit, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous
materials defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.), the
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 1801, et
seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section
9601 et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated
pursuant thereto, or any other federal, state or local environmental law,
ordinance, rule, or regulation. The provisions of this Section shall be in
addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities the Borrower may have
to the Bank at common law, and shall survive the transactions contemplated
herein.

occurred and be continuing or shall exist.

charges or levies imposed upon it, its income or profit or its property before
the same shall become in default, as well as all lawful claims and liabilities

however, that neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be
required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if the amount,
applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and if the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary

business and similarly situated; and all insurance herein provided for shall be
effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers of
recognized responsibility, except that the Borrower or any such Restricted
Subsidiary may effect (i) workers' compensation or other similar insurance in

insurance fund operated by such state or other jurisdiction or by causing to be

         Provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall prevent
the Borrower from discontinuing any part of the business of the Borrower if the
discontinuance would not result in a material adverse change to the business of
Borrower.

                such sale is for cash in an amount not less than the fair market
                value of such properties and assets and unless:

                (a)    such sale will not materially and adversely affect the
                       conduct of the business of Reynolds or any of its other
                       Restricted Subsidiaries;

                       continuing, and (y) Reynolds could incur at least $1 of
                       additional Indebtedness in compliance with Section 6.1B,
                       and (z) the aggregate amount of Priority Indebtedness
                       shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible
                       Capitalization;

         (ii)   any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
                dispose of all or any part of its properties and assets to, or
                consolidate with or merge into, Reynolds (subject to the

or any Indebtedness owning from any Restricted Subsidiary to Reynolds, except,
in the case of shares of capital stock, to the extent, if any, required to
qualify directors of such Restricted Subsidiary under any applicable law;
provided, however, that all shares of capital stock of all classes, together
with all Indebtedness, of any Restricted Subsidiary owned by Reynolds and/or one
or more Restricted Subsidiaries may be sold as an entirety if such sale, if
treated as a sale of such Subsidiary's assets made by such Subsidiary, would not

and:

         (1)    such corporation shall have outstanding only such Indebtedness
                and Liens as it would then have been permitted to create, incur

                upon liquidation, and all rights, options and warrants to
                acquire any such preference stock; and

         (3)    immediately after such designation, no Event of Default or event
                which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
                Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                shall be solvent corporation duly organized and existing under
                the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof;

         (2)    the due and punctual performance and observance of all the

                Notes, be expressly assumed by such successor (if other than
                Reynolds) or transferee;

         (3)    at the time of such transaction and assumption, and immediately
                after giving effect thereto:

                (i)    no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse
                       of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default
                       shall have occurred and be continuing;

                (iii)  the aggregate amount of Priority Indebtedness shall not
                       exceed 15% of Consolidate Tangible Capitalization.

         (1)    if the book value (net of related depreciation) of such asset,
                together with the book value (net of related depreciation) of
                all other assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries so
                disposed of in any fiscal year of Reynolds would constitute 10%
                or more of the book value (net of related depreciation) of all
                the assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the
                last day of the fiscal year then most recently ended; or

         (2)    if the sum of the Net Income (excluding a net deficit) for the
                three fiscal years of Reynolds most recently ended contributed

                period of three fiscal years; or

         (3)    if, with respect to any sale of accounts receivable, the
                proceeds of any such sale are not simultaneously applied to

each Borrower from time to time on any additional procedures to be utilized in
making a request for a Special Facility Loan (including, without limitation, the

records showing each Loan made hereunder and each principal and interest payment

binding. Although each Note shall be dated the Effective Date, interest in
respect thereof shall be payable only for the periods during which Loans are

thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the Prime Rate.

                  (b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each CD Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be 3/4 of 1% in excess of the
relevant CD Rate.

                  (c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date the

excess of the relevant Quoted Rate.

                  (d) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each Bid Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be the Bid Rate applicable to such
Bid Loan.

                  (e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law,
overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to 3% in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time; provided,
however, that no Loan shall bear interest after maturity at a rate per annum

         (f) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing
to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Prime Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest
Period applicable to such Loan and, in the case of any Interest Period exceeding
three months, those days that occur during such Interest Period at intervals of
three months after the first day of such Interest Period and on any prepayment
(on the amount prepaid), and, in the case of all Loans, on the Maturity Date,
and, after maturity, upon demand.

SECTION 2.7 INTEREST PERIODS.

         At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower shall have the
right to elect by giving the Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable
to such Loan, which Interest Period shall (w) in the case of Prime Loans, be a
period of from 7 days 90 days, (x) in the case of CD Loans, be either a 30, 60
or 90 days period, (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be either a one, two,
three or six month period, and (z) in the case of Special Facility Loans, be the
same period as requested by such Borrower at the time it contacts the Bank for a
quote of a Special Rate pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3(b). The
determination of Interest Periods shall be subject to the following provisions:

         (i) The Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of such
Loan;

         (ii) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period in respect of a
Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but
is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

         (iii) No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and

         (iv) No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which the
Loans (or any portion thereof) are required to be prepaid pursuant to Section
2.14, unless the aggregate principal amount of Loans which are Prime Loans or
which have Interest Periods which will expire on or before such date is equal to
or in excess of the amount of such prepayment.

SECTION 2.8 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.

         (a) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) at
any time:

         (i)   that by reason of: (x) the requirements of Regulation D
               (excluding all reserves required under Regulation D to the extent
               included in the computation of the


                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20


               Quoted Rate or the CD Rate), (y) any change since the date of
               this Agreement in any applicable law or governmental rule,
               regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not having
               the force of law) or any interpretation or administration thereof
               by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
               (including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule,
               regulation, guideline, order or request) and/or (z) in the case
               of Eurodollar Loans, other circumstances affecting the Bank or
               the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of the Bank in
               such market (such as for example but not limited to a change in
               the official reserve requirements to the extent not provided for
               in clause (i)(x) above), the Quoted Rate, the CD Rate or the
               Special Rate, as the case may be, shall not represent the
               effective pricing to the Bank for making, funding or maintaining
               the affected Fixed Rate Loan; or

         (ii)  that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become
               unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law or
               any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request,
               or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
               occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
               adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in
               any such event, the Bank shall on such date give notice (by
               telephone confirmed in writing) of such determination to the
               Borrower which has requested or which has incurred such affected
               Fixed Rate Loan. Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i), such
               Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon written demand therefor,
               such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or
               a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the
               Bank in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be
               required to compensate or reimburse the Bank for the increased
               costs resulting from the circumstances described in such clause
               (i); provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers to
               compensate or reimburse the Bank for increased costs resulting
               from a circumstance described in such clause (i) prior to the
               first demand by the Bank for such compensation or reimbursement
               shall be limited to those increased costs incurred in the one
               year period preceding the date of such demand (a written notice
               as to additional amounts owed the Bank pursuant to this clause
               (x), showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to
               such Borrower by the Bank shall, absent manifest error, be final,
               conclusive and binding); and (y) in the case of clause (ii), take
               one of the actions specified in Section 2.8(b) as promptly as
               possible and, in any event, within the time period required by
               law.

                  (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower which has requested or
which has incurred such Fixed Rate Loan may (and, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a)(ii) shall) either
(x) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing by giving the Bank telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the Bank pursuant to
Section 2.8(a) either (i)


                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21


cancel such borrowing or (ii) require the Bank to make the requested Fixed Rate
Loan as a Prime Loan or (y) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then outstanding,
upon at least three Business Days' written notice to the Bank, require the Bank
to convert the Fixed Rate Loan so affected into a Prime Loan.

                  (c) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) on
any date for determining the Quoted Rate for any Interest Period that, by reason
of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Quoted
Rate, then the Bank shall on such date give notice (by telephone confirmed in
writing) of such determination to the Borrower which has requested such affected
Eurodollar Loan and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Bank shall have no obligation to make, and shall not make, the requested
Eurodollar Loan unless the Borrower requesting such Eurodollar Loan agrees in
writing on the date it is notified of such determination by the Bank to pay to
the Bank, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of
an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or
otherwise as the Bank in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be
required to cause the Bank to receive interest with respect to such affected
Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum which shall equal the effective pricing to
the Bank to make such Eurodollar Loan plus the applicable percentage in excess
of the Quoted Rate referred to in Section 2.6(c).

                  (d) If the Bank determines at any time that any applicable law
or governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not
having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request), will have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Bank
based on the existence of the Commitment or its obligations hereunder, then the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank, upon its written
demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the
Bank for the increased cost or reduced rate of return to the Bank as a result of
such increase of capital; provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers
to compensate the Bank under this Section 2.8(d) prior to the first demand by
the Bank for such compensation shall be limited to compensation for the
increased cost or reduced rate of return incurred in the one year period
preceding the date of such demand. In determining such additional amounts, the
Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that the Bank's determination
of compensation owing under this Section 2.8(d) shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding.


                                      -21-

SECTION 2.9 COMPENSATION.

                  Each Borrower shall compensate the Bank with respect to any
Fixed Rate Loan made or to be made to it, upon the Bank's written request (which
request shall set forth the basis in reasonable detail for requesting such
amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any interest paid by the Bank to lenders of funds borrowed
by it to make or carry a Fixed Rate Loan to the extent not recovered by the Bank
in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which the Bank may sustain:
(i) if for any reason (other than a default by the Bank) a borrowing of a Fixed
Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing,
(ii) if any prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of a
Fixed Rate Loan is not made on the date specified in a notice of prepayment
given pursuant to Section 2.13 or (iv) as a consequence of (x) without
duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.6(e), any other default by
such Borrower to repay a Fixed Rate Loan when required by the terms of this
Agreement or (y) an election made by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b). A
statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and
in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by the Bank to the Borrowers,
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in
computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to the Bank under this Section
2.9 shall be made as though the Bank shall have actually funded or committed to
fund the relevant Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit
in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan in the relevant market and having
a maturity comparable to the related Interest Period and, through the transfer
of such deposit to a domestic office of the Bank in the United States; provided,
however, that the Bank may fund any Fixed Rate Loan in any manner it sees fit
and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the purpose of
calculation of amounts payable under this Section 2.9.

SECTION 2.10 COMMITMENT COMMISSION.

                  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank a
commitment commission (the "Commitment Commission") for the period from the date
hereof until the Termination Date computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1% per annum on
the daily average unutilized portion of the Commitment; payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.11 REDUCTION IN COMMITMENT.

                  The Borrowers shall jointly have the right, at any time and
from time to time, upon at least 30 Business Days' prior written notice to the
Bank, to irrevocably reduce the unutilized portion of the Commitment, in whole
or in part, provided that partial reductions shall be in the amount of
$1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.12 PAYMENTS ON NONBUSINESS DAYS.

                  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note
shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if a payment
of principal has been so extended, interest shall be payable on such principal
at the applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, in the event
that the day on which any such payment relating to a Eurodollar Loan is due is
not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day
occurs in such month, then the due date thereof shall be the next preceding
Business Day.

SECTION 2.13 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS.

                  The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans in
whole or in part, without premium or penalty, from time to time pursuant to this
Section 2.13 on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower prepaying a
Loan shall give the Bank prior written notice or telephone notice (confirmed
promptly in writing) at its Principal Office at least three Business Days', in
the case of a prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans, or on the same Business Day, in
the case of a prepayment of Prime Loans, of its intent to prepay, the amount of
such prepayment and which Loans are to be prepaid; (ii) each prepayment shall be
in a principal amount of $ 1,000,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the
case of Fixed Rate Loans or $ 100,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the
case of Prime Loans; and (iii) at the time of any prepayment of Fixed Rate
Loans, such Borrower shall pay all interest accrued on the principal amount of
such prepayment. It is understood that each prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 2.9.

SECTION 2.14 MANDATORY PAYMENTS.

                  (a) Advances. Unless earlier payment is required under this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank on the Termination Date the
entire outstanding principal amount of the Advances, which payment may be
effected through a request for a Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

                  (b) Term Loans. Unless earlier payment is required under this
Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank the outstanding principal amount
of the Term Loan in twelve equal quarterly installments payable on each
Quarterly Principal Payment Date to and including the Maturity Date, when the
entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall be due and payable.

SECTION 2.15 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

                  In the event that any "person " or "group" (within the meaning
of Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) at any time hereafter becomes the

                                      -23-
<PAGE>   24

"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of capital shares of Reynolds entitled at the time of
voting power in the election of directors of 50% or more, then the Bank, by
written notice to the Borrowers, may at any time within 90 days after the
occurrence of such event: (i) declare the principal of and accrued interest in
respect of the Notes to be, whereupon the same shall become, forthwith due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind and/or
(ii) declare the Commitment terminated, whereupon the Commitment and the
obligation of the Bank to make Loans shall terminate immediately and any accrued
Commitment Commission shall forthwith become due and payable without any other
notice of any kind.

SECTION 2.16 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT.

         All payments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made to the
Bank at its Principal Office not later than 12:00 Noon (Detroit, Michigan time)
on the date when due in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds.

SECTION 2.17 NET PAYMENTS.

         All payments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary so that all such
payments (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or
future Taxes) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid
under this Agreement and the Notes. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable to the Bank under this Section 2.17 submitted to either of the Borrowers
by the Bank shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the
calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. With respect to each deduction
or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, each Borrower shall promptly
furnish to the Bank such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be
required (in the judgment of the Bank) to establish any tax credit to which the
Bank may be entitled,

SECTION 2.20 FAILURE TO CHARGE NOT SUBSEQUENT WAIVER.

                  Each Borrower explicitly agrees that any decision by the Bank
not to require payment of any fees and/or compensation for costs, or to reduce
the amount of such fees and/or compensation for costs, for any Loan shall in no
way limit the Bank's right to require full payment of any fees and/or
compensation for costs for any Loan.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATlONS AND WARRANTIES

SECTION 3.11 NAME RIGHTS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, ETC.

                  The Borrowers possess, and so long as any amount of credit
pursuant hereto remains unpaid or available, will continue to possess all
permits, trade memberships, franchises, contracts, licenses, trademarks,
trademarks hereafter obtained, permits, memberships, franchises, contracts, and
licenses required and all trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights,
patents, patent rights, and fictitious name rights necessary to enable them to
conduct the business in all material respects in which they are now engaged and
as presently proposed to be conducted, without conflict or violation of any
valid rights of others with respect to the foregoing.

                  Nothing in this Section, however, shall prevent the Borrowers
from failing to renew or from entering into additional permits, trade
memberships, franchises, contracts, licenses, trade marks, trade mark rights,
trade names, trade name rights, patents, patent rights and fictitious name
rights if in the judgment of the Borrowers reasonably exercised such action is
advisable for business purposes and will not materially and adversely effect the
business in which they are engaged,

SECTION 3.12 USE OF LOAN PROCEEDS WILL NOT VIOLATE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
             REGULATIONS.

                  The Borrowers will not use any portion of the proceeds of any
Loan for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the
meaning of Regulation G, T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (herein called "Margin Stock"), or for the purpose of reducing or
retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry a
margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a
"purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation U or X, or in any manner which
might involve any Bank in a violation of Regulation U or Regulation X, or cause
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby to violate Regulation U,
Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as now in
effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect.

SECTION 3.13 NO GOVERNMENT APPROVAL REQUIRED.

                  Each Borrower's execution and performance of the Loan
Documents does not require the approval, filing or notice to any government,
governmental agency, administrative authority or instrumentality, as a condition
to the validity of any of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.14 CONSIDERATION OF TRANSACTION.

                  The Loan Documents executed pursuant hereto are all entered
into for valuable consideration received to the full satisfaction of the

SECTION 3.15 LABOR RELATIONS:

                  Each Borrower's labor relations are satisfactory and no
dispute, lockout, labor dispute or litigation presently exists or is
contemplated or anticipated which would materially and adversely affect such
Borrower's operation.

SECTION 3.16 ERISA.

                  The Borrowers are in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable provisions of ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a Prohibited
Transaction has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan; no notice
of intent to terminate a Plan has been filed nor has any Plan been terminated
for which there are any unfunded outstanding liabilities; no circumstances exist
which constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA entitling the PBGC to
institute proceedings to terminate, or appoint a trustee to administrate, a
Plan, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceedings; neither the Borrowers
nor any ERISA affiliate have completely or partially withdrawn under Sections
4201 or 4204 of ERISA from a multiemployer Plan; the Borrowers, and each ERISA
affiliate, have met its minimum funding requirement under ERISA with respect to
all of its Plans and the present fair market value of all Plan assets exceeds
the present value of all vested benefits under each Plan, as determined on the
most recent valuation of the Plan assets and in accordance with the provisions
of ERISA and the regulations thereunder for calculating the potential liability
of the Borrowers or any ERISA affiliate to the PBGC or the Plan under Title IV
of ERISA; and neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA affiliate has incurred any
liability to the PBGC under ERISA.

SECTION 3.17 ACTS OF GOD.

                  Neither the business nor the properties of the Borrowers are
affected by any fire, explosion, accident, drought, storm, hail, earthquake,
embargo, act of God or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance)
which materially or adversely affects such business or property or operation of
the Borrowers.

SECTION 3.18 NO SUBORDINATION.

                  The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents are not subordinated in any manner to any other obligation of the
Borrowers.

SECTION 3.19  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
              REGULATIONS.

                  (a) To each Borrower's knowledge, the Borrowers are in
material compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations pertaining
to environmental protection, the violation of which would have a material effect
on the Borrowers' business. The Borrowers have not


                                      -29-
<PAGE>   30

received any written or oral communication or notice from any court or
governmental agency nor are they aware of any investigation by any agency for
any material violation of any environmental protection law or regulation.

                  (c) The Borrowers agree to comply with all applicable
requirements in effect from time to time of all federal, state, local and other
governmental authorities with respect to environmental protection.

                  (d) The Borrowers further agree promptly to notify the Bank of
any environmental proceedings brought or threatened by any state or federal
agency against the Borrowers, and the Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and
hold the Bank harmless from and against any claim which may be brought against
the Bank by any state or federal agency by reason of the Bank being a lender to
the Borrowers.

                  (e) The Borrowers agree further that, in view of recent
environmental litigation involving bank lenders, the Borrowers waive any right
and agree to assert no claim against the Bank which might otherwise arise or be
claimed by the Borrowers, should the Bank elect to forego its rights to seek
satisfaction of each Borrower's obligations to Bank from any of such Borrower's
real estate for the reason that enforcement of such rights might expose the Bank
to liability for Hazardous Materials upon such real estate under federal or
state environmental laws or regulations.

                  (f) For purposes of this paragraph, "Hazardous Materials"
includes, without limit, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials,
hazardous materials defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et
seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C.
Sections 1801, et seq.), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended
(42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), and in the regulations adopted and
publications promulgated pursuant thereto, or any other federal, state or local
environmental law, ordinance, rule, or regulation. The provisions of this
Section shall be in addition to any and all other obligations and liabilities
the Borrower may have to the Bank at common law, and shall survive the
transactions contemplated herein.

                             AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

                  Each Borrower covenants that so long as any Note shall remain
unpaid or the Bank could have any obligation to lend hereunder:

SECTION 5.1 TO PAY NOTES.

                  The Borrower will punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal and interest (and Make-Whole Amount, if any) to become due in respect
of the Notes according to the terms thereof.

SECTION 5.2 MAINTENANCE OF BORROWER OFFICE.

                  The Borrower will maintain an office or agency at 115 S.
Ludlow St., Dayton, OH 45402 (or such other place in the United States of
America as the Borrower may designate in writing to the holder hereof) where
notices, presentations and demands to or upon the company in respect of the
Notes may be given or made.

SECTION 5.3 TO KEEP BOOKS.

                  The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted

SECTION 5.4 PAYMENT OF TAXES; CORPORATE EXISTENCE:

                  The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to:

                  A. Pay and discharge promptly all taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, its income or profit or its
property before the same shall become in default, as well as all lawful claims
and liabilities of any kind (including claims and liabilities for labor,
materials and supplies) which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon its
property; provided, however. that neither the Borrower nor any Restricted
Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim if the amount, applicability or validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Borrower or any
such Restricted Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books reserves in respect
thereof (segregated to the extent required by GAAP) deemed adequate in the
opinion of the Chief Financial Office or Treasurer of the Borrower;

                  B. Subject to Section 6.5 and Section 6.6, do all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence

<PAGE>   33

preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in its conduct of business; and

SECTION 5.5 TO INSURE.

         The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to:

         A. Keep all of its insurable properties owned by it insured against all
risks usually insured against by persons operating like properties in the
localities where the properties are located, all in amounts sufficient to
prevent the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from
becoming a coinsurer within the terms of the policies in question, but in any
event in amounts not less than 80% of the then full replacement value thereof;

         B. Maintain public liability insurance against claims for personal
injury, death or property damage suffered by others upon or in or about any
premises occupied by it or occurring as a result of its maintenance or operation
of any airplanes, automobiles, trucks or other vehicles or other facilities
(including, but not limited to, any machinery used therein or thereon) or as the
result of the use of products sold by it or services rendered by it;

         C. Maintain such other types of insurance with respect to its business
as is usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or a
similar business and similarly situated; and

         D. Maintain all such workers' compensation or similar insurance as may
be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which it may be
engaged in business.

         All insurance for which provision has been made in Section 5.5B and
Section 5.5C shall be maintained in at least such amounts as such insurance is
usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or a similar
business and similarly situated; and all insurance herein provided for shall be
effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers of
recognized responsibility, except that the Borrower or any such Restricted
Subsidiary may effect (i) workers' compensation or other similar insurance in
respect of operations in any state or other jurisdiction either through an
insurance fund operated by such state or other jurisdiction or by causing to be
maintained a system or systems of self-insurance which are in accord with
applicable laws, and (ii) all other insurance required by Sections 5.5B and 5.5C
through a system of self-insurance maintained in accordance with the Borrower's
current practices.

SECTION 5.6 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.

         Continue to engage in an efficient and economical manner in the
business of the same general type as now conducted by the Borrower.

                                      -33-
<PAGE>   34

         Provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall prevent
the Borrower from discontinuing any part of the business of the Borrower if the
discontinuance would not result in a material adverse change to the business of
Borrower.

SECTION 5.7 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

         Maintain, keep and preserve all of their properties (tangible and
intangible) real, chattel and otherwise, in good order and working condition and
from time to time make necessary repairs, renewals and replacements thereto in
order that such properties are fully and efficiently preserved and maintained.

         provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prevent:

                                      -40-
<PAGE>   41

                    Reynolds or such Restricted Subsidiary is a party, or

              (iii) from incurring Liens or priorities imposed by law, such as
                    laborers' other employees, carriers', warehousemen's,
                    mechanics', materialmen's and vendors' liens or priorities,
                    and Liens arising out of judgments or awards against
                    Reynolds or such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to which
                    Reynolds or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time shall be
                    prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review and with
                    respect to which it shall have secured a stay of execution
                    pending such appeal or proceedings for review; or

               (iv) from entering into leases and from incurring landlords'
                    liens on fixtures and movable property located on premises
                    leased in the ordinary course of business so long as the
                    rent secured thereby is not in default; or

         (3)   Reynolds or any Restricted Subsidiary from creating or incurring
               or suffering to exist

               (i)  Liens for taxes or import duties not yet subject to

                    other similar purposes, or zoning or other restrictions as
                    to the use of real properties, which Liens, exceptions,
                    encumbrances, easements, reservations, rights and
                    restrictions do not, in the opinion of Reynolds, in the
                    aggregate materially detract from the value of such
                    properties or materially impair their use in the operation
                    of the business of Reynolds and its Subsidiaries; or

         (4)   any Restricted Subsidiary from creating, incurring, assuming or
               suffering to exist any Lien solely to secure Indebtedness owing
               to Reynolds or any Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary; or

         (5)   Reynolds or any Restricted Subsidiary from creating, incurring,
               assuming or suffering to exist Liens not otherwise permitted by
               the foregoing clauses 1 through 4, inclusive, of this Section
               6.2; provided, however, that at the time of the creation,
               incurrence or assumption thereof, and immediately after giving
               effect thereto and to the Indebtedness secured or evidenced
               thereby,


                                      -41-
<PAGE>   42

               (i)  the then outstanding aggregate amount of Priority
                    Indebtedness shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible
                    Capitalization; and

               (ii) Reynolds could incur at least $1 of additional Indebtedness
                    in compliance with Section 6.1B.

6.3      RESTRICTED PAYMENTS.

         Reynolds will not, directly or indirectly:

         A.    Declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution
               (whether by reduction of capital or otherwise) on any shares of
               any class of its capital stock (other than a dividend or

         C.    Make, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, any Restricted
               Investment;

         unless immediately after giving effect to any such action, Reynolds
could incur at lease $1 of additional Indebtedness in compliance with Section
6.1B and the sum of:

         (1)   The aggregate amount of all such dividends and distributions
               (other than dividends or distributions payable in shares of
               common stock of Reynolds) declared, paid or made subsequent to
               September 30, 1993;

         (2)   the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate amount of all such
               purchases, redemptions, retirements, acquisitions and payments
               made subsequent to September 30, 1993 over (ii) the net cash

         (3)   the Aggregate Amount of Restricted Investments made subsequent to
               September 30, 1993;

         does not exceed $40,000,000 plus 60% (or minus 100% in the case of a

accrued subsequent to September 30, 1993. All dividends, distributions,
purchases, redemptions, retirements, acquisitions and payments (other than
Restricted Investments) made pursuant to this Section 6.3 in property other than
cash shall be included for purposes of calculations pursuant to this Section 6.3
at the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors) at the



                                      -42-

time of declaration of such dividend or at the time of making such distribution,

6.4      RESTRICTIONS ON RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

         A.    Reynolds will not cause, suffer or permit any Restricted
               Subsidiary to:

         (1)   issue or dispose of any shares of such Restricted Subsidiary's
               capital stock to any Person other than Reynolds or a Wholly-owned
               Restricted Subsidiary, except to the extent that any such shares
               are required to qualify directors under any applicable law or
               required to be issued to other stockholders of such Subsidiary by
               virtue of their exercise of preemptive rights or as their pro
               rata share of any stock dividend; or

         (2)   sell, assign, transfer, dispose of, or in any way part with
               control of, any shares of capital stock of another Restricted
               Subsidiary, or any Indebtedness owing to such Subsidiary from
               another Restricted Subsidiary, to any Person other than Reynolds
               or a Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary, except in connection
               with a transaction which complies with Section 6.4B; or

         (3)   sell, assign, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
               such Restricted Subsidiary's properties and assets to any Person
               or consolidate with or merge into any other Person or permit any
               other Person to merge into it;

         provided, however, that:

         (i)   any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
               dispose of any of its properties and assets if such sale, lease,
               transfer or disposition is not prohibited by the provisions of
               Section 6.5B, except that a Restricted Subsidiary may not sell
               all or substantially all of its properties and assets unless such
               sale is for cash in an amount not less than the fair market value
               of such properties and assets and unless:

               (a)  such sale will not materially and adversely affect the
                    conduct of the business of Reynolds or any of its other
                    Restricted Subsidiaries;

               (b)  such Restricted Subsidiary does not own any Indebtedness of
                    Reynolds or capital stock or any Indebtedness of any other
                    Restricted Subsidiary not simultaneously being disposed of
                    in compliance with Section 6.4B; and

               (c)  at the time of such transaction and immediately after giving
                    effect thereto (x) no Event of Default or event which, with
                    notice or lapse of time or


                                      -43-
<PAGE>   44

                    both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have
                    occurred and be continuing, and (y) Reynolds could incur at
                    least $1 of additional Indebtedness in compliance with
                    Section 6.1B, and (z) the aggregate amount of Priority
                    Indebtedness shall not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible
                    Capitalization;

         (ii)  any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
               dispose of all or any part of its properties and assets to, or
               consolidate with or merge into, Reynolds (subject to the
               provisions of Section 6.5) or a Wholly-owned Restricted
               Subsidiary; and

         (iii) any Restricted Subsidiary may permit another person to merge into
               it provided that the requirements of clause (i)(c) of this
               Section 6.4A are complied with and immediately after such merger
               said Restricted Subsidiary is a Wholly-owned Restricted
               Subsidiary.

         B. Reynolds will not sell, assign, transfer, dispose of, or in any way
part with control of, any shares of capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary
or any Indebtedness owing from any Restricted Subsidiary to Reynolds, except, in
the case of share of capital stock, to the extent, if any, required to qualify
directors of such Restricted Subsidiary under any applicable law; provided,
however, that all shares of capital stock of all classes, together with all
Indebtedness, of any Restricted Subsidiary owned by Reynolds and/or one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries may be sold as an entirety if such sale, if treated as a
sale of such Subsidiary's assets made by such Subsidiary, would not be
prohibited by the provisions of Section 6.4A(i).

         C. Reynolds will not designate any Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary unless it is so designated by resolution of the Board of Directors
and:

         (1)   such corporation shall have outstanding only such Indebtedness
               and Liens as it would then have been permitted to create, incur
               or assume in compliance with Section 6.1 and Section 6.2;

         (2)   Reynolds and/or one or more Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries
               shall own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding capital stock
               of such corporation having any preference as to dividends or upon
               liquidation, and all rights, options and warrants to acquire any
               such preference stock; and

         (3)   immediately after such designation, no Event of Default or event
               which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
               Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.


                                      -44-
<PAGE>   45

         (1)   the successor formed by or resulting from such consolidation or
               merger (if other than the Company) or the transferee to which
               such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition shall be made
               shall be solvent corporation duly organized and existing under
               the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof;

         (2)   the due and punctual performance and observance of all the
               obligations, terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of the
               Agreement and the Notes to be performed or observed by Reynolds

         (3)   at the time of such transaction and assumption, and immediately
               after giving effect thereto:

               (i)  no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of
                    time or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall

              (iii) the aggregate amount of Priority Indebtedness shall not
                    exceed 15% of Consolidate Tangible Capitalization.

               together with the book value (net of related depreciation) of all
               other assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries so
               disposed of in any fiscal year of Reynolds would constitute 10%
               or more of the book value (net of related depreciation) of all
               the assets of

                                      -45-
<PAGE>   46

               Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of
               the fiscal year then most recently ended; or

         (2)   if the sum of the Net Income (excluding a net deficit) for the
               three fiscal years of Reynolds most recently ended contributed by
               such asset and all other assets of the borrower and its
               Restricted Subsidiaries so disposed of during any fiscal year of
               Reynolds would exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Income for such
               period of three fiscal years; or

         (3)   if, with respect to any sale of accounts receivable, the proceeds
               of any such sale are not simultaneously applied to repay the
               senior debt on a pro rata basis or reinvested in operating assets

obtainable in arm's length dealing in the ordinary course of business with a

waiver, release, amendment or other modification of all or any term or provision
of the Other Loan Document from which a Restrictive Covenant shall have

AMOUNT AND TERM:
The existing $15 million revolver is increased to $65 million, effective upon

a six month period), at which time the revolver amount will decrease to $30
million.  Additionally, the revolver's conversion date (to a three year term
loan) has been extended from April 1, 1997 to April 1, 1998.  Loans to Reyna
Financial under this revolver may not exceed $15 million at any one time
outstanding.  The $50 million increase is available to Reynolds & Reynolds for

or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) of such borrowing (x) in
the case of a CD Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, by no later than 12:00 p.m.
(Cincinnati, Ohio time) on the Business Day that is at least two (2) Business
Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing and (y) in the case of a Prime
Loan, by

<PAGE>   15
no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on the date of borrowing. Each
such notice (each, together with any notice electing to incur a Bid Loan given
in accordance with Section 2.3(b), a "Notice of Borrowing") shall specify (i)
the principal amount which such Borrower desires to borrow, (ii) the date of
borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether such Loan is to be
maintained as a Prime Loan, CD Loan or Eurodollar Loan and (iv) the Interest
Period to be applicable thereto.

         (b) Whenever either of the Borrowers desires to incur a Bid Loan, it
shall have the right to contact the Bank to determine the Bid Rate which would
be applicable to a Bid Loan made by the Bank for the principal amount and the
Interest Period (which period shall be a period of from 1 to 90 days) requested
by such Borrower and the Bank may, in its sole discretion, provide a quote of a
Bid Rate for such Interest Period. Each notice requesting a quote of a Bid Rate
shall specify that such request is being made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The Bank shall agree with each Borrower from time to time on any
additional procedures to be utilized in making a request for a Bid Loan
(including, without limitation, the applicable notice period and the time period
during which the Bid Rate, if any, quoted by the Bank shall remain available).
Upon electing to incur a Bid Loan, the Borrower electing to incur the same shall
notify the Bank in accordance with the aforesaid procedures established from
time to time with the Bank. Subject to availability, the Bank agrees to use its
best efforts to make Bid Loans available to the Borrowers; provided that the
Bank shall not be obligated to make Bid Loans hereunder.

SECTION 2.4  DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.

         No later than 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on the date specified
in each Notice of Borrowing, the Bank shall make available to the Borrower
incurring the same the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date in U.S.
dollars and in immediately available funds by the Bank crediting an account of
such Borrower designated by it and maintained with the Bank at its Principal
Office. To the extent that a Loan made to such Borrower matures on such date,
the Bank shall apply the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date, to the
extent thereof, to the repayment of such maturing Loan.

SECTION 2.5 THE NOTES.

         The obligation of each Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest
on, all Loans made to it shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in
the form of Exhibits A and B (each " a Note") payable to the order of the Bank
duly executed and delivered by Borrowers with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith. Each Note shall: (i) be dated the Effective Date; (ii) be
in the original principal amount of the Commitment and be payable in the
principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby; (iii) mature in the case of
each Loan evidenced thereby on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable
thereto; (iv) bear interest as provided in the appropriate clause of Section 2.6
in respect of the Prime Loans, CD Loans, Eurodollar Loans and Bid Loans, as the
case may be, evidenced thereby; and (v) be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement. The Bank shall maintain internal records showing each Loan made
hereunder

                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16
and each principal and interest payment thereon, which records shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. Although each Note shall be
dated the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall be payable only for
the pc . T Loans are evidenced thereby and although dictated principal amount
of Commitment, each Note shall be enforceable with respect to the principal
thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal a' i thereby.

SECTION 2.6  INTEREST.

         (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in-principal amount of each
Prime Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to
it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum
which shall be equal to the Prime Rate.

         (b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each CD Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof
are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum which shall be 3/4 of 1 % in excess of the relevant CD
Rate.

         (c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date the proceeds
thereof are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall be 5/8 of 1 % in excess of the
relevant Quoted Rate.

         (d) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Bid Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof
are made available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum which shall be the Bid Rate applicable to such Bid Loan.

         (e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue
interest in respect of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to 3 % in excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time; provided,
however, that no Loan shall bear interest after maturity at a rate per annum
less than the rate of interest applicable thereto at maturity.

         (f) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing
to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Prime Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest

SECTION 2.7  INTEREST PERIODS.

         At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower shall have the
right to elect by giving the Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable
to such Loan, which Interest Period shall (w) in the case of Prime Loans, be a
period of from 1 day to 90 days, (x) in the case of CD Loans, be either a 30, 60
or 90 day period, (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be either a one, two or
three month period, and (z) in the case of Bid Loans; be the same period as
requested by such Borrower at the time it contacts the Bank for a quote of a Bid
Rate pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3(b). The determination of
Interest Periods shall be subject to the following provisions:

         (i) The Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of such
Loan;

         (ii) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is
not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period in respect of a
Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but
is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month,
such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

         (iii) No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date; and

         (iv) No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which the
Loans (or any portion thereof) are required to be prepaid pursuant to Section
2.14, unless the aggregate principal amount of Loans which are Prime Loans or
which have Interest Periods which will expire on or before such date is equal to
or in excess of the amount of such prepayment.

SECTION 2.8  INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.

         (a) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) at
any time:

         (i)    that by reason of: (x) the requirements of Regulation D
                (excluding all reserves required under Regulation D to the
                extent included in the computation of the Quoted Rate or the CD
                Rate), (y) any change since the date of this Agreement in any
                applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline,
                order or request (whether or not having the force of law) or any
                interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
                authority, central bank or comparable agency (including the
                introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation,
                guideline, order or request) and/or (z) in the case of
                Eurodollar Loans, other circumstances affecting the Bank or the
                interbank Eurodollar market or the position of the Bank in such
                market (such as for example but not limited to a change in the
                official reserve requirements to the extent not provided for in
                clause (i) (x) above), the Quoted Rate, the CD Rate or the Bid
                Rate, as the case

                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18
                may be, shall not represent the effective pricing to the Bank
                for making, funding or maintaining the affected Fixed Rate Loan;
                or

         (ii)   that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become
                unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law or
                any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request,
                or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency
                occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
                adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in
                any such event, the Bank shall on such date give notice (by
                telephone confirmed in writing) of such determination to the
                Borrower which has requested or which has incurred such affected
                Fixed Rate Loan. Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i), such
                Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon written demand therefor,
                such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or
                a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the
                Bank in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be
                required to compensate or reimburse the Bank for the increased
                costs resulting from the circumstances described in such clause
                (i); provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers to
                compensate or reimburse the Bank for increased costs resulting
                from a circumstance described in such clause (i) prior to the
                first demand by the Bank for such compensation or reimbursement
                shall be limited to those increased costs incurred in the one
                year period preceding the date of such demand (a written notice
                as to additional amounts owed the Bank pursuant to this clause
                (x), showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to
                such Borrower by the Bank shall, absent manifest error, be
                final, conclusive and binding); and (y) in the case of clause
                (ii), take one of the actions specified in Section 2.8(b) as
                promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period
                required by law,

         (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the
circumstances described in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower which has requested or
which has incurred such Fixed Rate Loan may (and, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a)(ii) shall) either
(x) if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing by giving the Bank telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the Bank pursuant to
Section 2.8(a) either (i) cancel such borrowing or (ii) require the Bank to make
the requested Fixed Rate Loan as a Prime Loan or (y) if the affected Fixed Rate
Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' written notice to
the Bank, require the Bank to convert the Fixed Rate Loan so affected into a
Prime Loan.

         (c) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) on
any date for determining the Quoted Rate for any Interest Period that, by reason
of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the applicable interest
rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Quoted Rate, then the Bank
shall on such date give

                                      -18-
<PAGE>   19
notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) of such determination to the Borrower
which has requested such affected Eurodollar Loan and, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Bank shall have no obligation to make, and
shall not make, the requested Eurodollar Loan unless the Borrower requesting
such Eurodollar Loan agrees in writing on the date it is notified of such
determination by the Bank to pay to the Bank, upon written demand therefor, such
additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method
of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Bank in its reasonable discretion
shall determine) as shall be required to cause the Bank to receive interest with
respect to such affected Eurodollar Loan at a rate per annum which shall equal
the effective pricing to the Bank to make such Eurodollar Loan plus the
applicable percentage in excess of the Quoted Rate referred to in Section
2.6(c).

         (d) If the Bank determines at any time that any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not
having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request), will have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Bank
based on the existence of the Commitment or its obligations hereunder, then the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank, upon its written
demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the
Bank for the increased cost or reduced rate of return to the Bank as a result of
such increase of capital; provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers
to compensate the Bank under this Section 2.8(d) prior to the first demand by
the Bank for such compensation shall be limited to compensation for the
increased cost or reduced rate of return incurred in the one year period
preceding the date of such demand. In determining such amounts, the Bank will
act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods
which are reasonable, provided that the Bank's determination of compensation
owing under this Section 2.8(d) shall, absent manifest error, be final,
conclusive and binding.

SECTION 2.9  COMPENSATION.

         Each Borrower shall compensate the Bank with respect to any Fixed Rate
Loan made or to be made to it, upon the Bank's written request (which request
shall set forth the basis in reasonable detail for requesting such amounts), for
all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation,
any interest paid by the Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or
carry a Fixed Rate Loan to the extent not recovered by the Bank in connection
with the re-employment of such funds), which the Bank may sustain: (i) if for
any reason (other than a default by the Bank) a borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan
does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, (ii) if
any prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day
of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of a Fixed
Rate Loan is not made on the date specified in a notice of prepayment given
pursuant to Section 2.13 or (iv) as a consequence of (x) without duplication of
any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.6(e), any other default by such Borrower
to repay a Fixed Rate Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y)
an election made by such Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(b). For purposes of
this Section 2.9, the rate of interest which the Bank shall be deemed

                                      -19-
<PAGE>   20
to earn from the re-employment of funds shall be a rate of interest per annum,
determined by the Bank in good faith, equal to the rate found at that point of
the United States Treasury securities yield curve (determined with such
interpolation as is necessary) for securities (if they were to be issued) with a
term to maturity comparable to the Fixed Rate Loan in question, such yield curve
to be constructed by the Bank using then current asking prices by dealers in
United States treasury securities for the offering for sale of current issues
(most recently auctioned) of Treasury Bills and converting such prices into
yield rates.

SECTION 2.10 COMMITMENT COMMISSION.

         The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank a
commitment commission (the "Commitment Commission") for the period from the date
hereof until the Termination Date computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1 % per annum
on the daily average unutilized portion of the Commitment; payable quarterly in
arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.11 REDUCTION IN COMMITMENT.

         The Borrowers shall jointly have the right, at any time and from time
to time, upon at least 30 Business Days' prior written notice to the Bank, to
irrevocably reduce the unutilized portion of the Commitment, in whole or in
part, provided that partial reductions shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or
an integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.12 PAYMENTS ON NONBUSINESS DAYS.

         Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be
stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if a payment of
principal has been so extended, interest shall be payable on such principal at
the applicable rate during such extension; provided, however, in the event that
the day on which any such payment relating to a Eurodollar Loan is due is not a
Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day
occurs in such month, then the due date thereof shall be the next preceding
Business Day.

SECTION 2.13 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS.

         The Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans in whole or in
part, without premium or penalty, from time to time pursuant to this Section
2.13 on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower prepaying a Loan
shall give the Bank at its Principal Office at least three Business Days', in
the case of a prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans, or one Business Day's, in the case
of a prepayment of Prime Loans, prior written notice or telephonic notice
(confirmed promptly in writing) of its intent to prepay, the amount of such
prepayment and which Loans are to be prepaid; (ii) each prepayment shall be in a
principal amount of $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the case of
Fixed Rate Loans or $100,000 (or an integral multiple thereof) in the case of
Prime Loans; and (iii) at the time of any prepayment of Fixed Rate

                                      -20-
<PAGE>   21
Loans' such Borrower shall pay all interest accrued on the principal amount of
such prepayment. It is understood that each prepayment of Fixed Rate Loans shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 2.9.

SECTION 2.14 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

         The Borrowers agree to make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the
Loans outstanding on each Quarterly Principal Payment Date, each such prepayment
to be in a principal amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans then outstanding (ii) the then Commitment (as calculated
after giving effect to any reduction to the Commitment made on such Quarterly
Principal Payment Date).

SECTION 2.15 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

         In the event that any "person" or "group" (within the meaning of
Section 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
at any time hereafter becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of capital shares of
Reynolds entitled at the time of voting power in the election of directors of
50% or more, then the Bank, by written notice to the Borrowers, may at any time
within 90 days after the occurrence of such event: (j) declare the principal of
and accrued interest in respect of the Notes to be, whereupon the same shall
become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind and/or (ii) declare the Commitment terminated, whereupon the
Commitment and the obligation of the Bank to make Loans shall terminate
immediately and any accrued Commitment Commission shall forthwith become due and
payable without any other notice of any kind.

SECTION 2.16 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT.

         All payments under this Agreement and the Notes must be received by the
Bank at its Principal Office not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on
a Business Day in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds in order to be
credited on such date. If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal,
interest or other amount becoming due pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement or the Notes within 15 calendar days of the date due and payable, the
Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the lesser of five
percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or $50. Such 15-day period shall not
be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. The late
charge is imposed for the purpose of defraying the Bank's expenses incident to
the handling of delinquent payments and is in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the exercise by the Bank of any rights and remedies hereunder or under
applicable laws and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the
Bank may employ upon default.

                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22
SECTION 2.17 NET PAYMENTS.

         All payments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary so that all such
payments (after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings
(collectively, "Taxes")) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified
to be paid under this Agreement and the Notes. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable to the Bank under Section 2.8 submitted to either of
the Borrowers by the Bank shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and
the calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. With respect to each deduction
or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, each Borrower shall promptly
furnish to the Bank such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be
required (in the judgment of the Bank) to establish any tax credit to which the
Bank may be entitled.

SECTION 2.18 PLACE OF LOANS.

         All Loans made hereunder shall be disbursed from and be payable at the
Bank's Principal Office, 201 East Fifth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.

         All borrowings and payments hereunder shall be in United States dollars
and in immediately available funds.

SECTION 2.20 FAILURE TO CHARGE NOT SUBSEQUENT WAIVER.

         The Borrower explicitly agrees that any decision by the Bank not to
require payment of any fees and/or compensation for costs, or to reduce the
amount of such fees and/or compensation for costs, for any Loan shall in no way
limit the Bank's right to require full payment of any fees and/or compensation
for costs for any Loan.

the interim financial statements for the 9-month period ending June 30, 1994,
and related documents heretofore delivered and furnished by the Borrowers to the

not reflected in the financial statements or in the notes thereto, other than
liabilities arising or incurred during the course of business since the date of
such financial statement(s). No information, exhibit, or report furnished by the
Borrowers to the Bank in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement
contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact

misleading.

and assets, real and personal, including the properties and assets and leasehold
interests reflected in the financial statement referred to in Section 5.8

charges as described in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section
5.8 herein, as otherwise disclosed by the Borrowers to the Bank in writing, or
which may be permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 herein. The Borrowers have no
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except as disclosed on such financial
statement(s) (including borrowings with other banks) or as otherwise disclosed
by the Borrowers to the Bank in writing.

         Excepted herefrom are liens for taxes not yet due and.payable and minor

agreements, guarantees, capital leases, and other investments, agreements and
arrangements presently in effect providing for or relating to extensions of
credit (including agreements and arrangements for the issuance of letters of

The Borrowers have no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of any
tax payable with respect to any year, except those which are being contested in
good faith or where there is a bona fide dispute. The Borrowers have paid all
premiums due under all applicable workers compensation and unemployment
compensation laws.

         Excepted herefrom are such taxes, as are being contested in good faith
and by proper proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been
maintained.

SECTION 3.11 NAME RIGHTS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, ETC.

         The Borrowers possess, and so long as any amount of credit pursuant

obtained and all trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, patents,
patent rights, and fictitious name rights necessary to enable them to conduct
the business in all material respects in which they are now engaged and as
presently proposed to be conducted, without conflict or violation of any valid
rights of others with respect to the foregoing.

         Nothing in this Section, however, shall prevent the Borrowers from
failing to renew or from entering into additional permits, trade memberships,
franchises, contracts, licenses, trade marks, trade mark rights, trade names,
trade name rights, patents, patent rights and fictitious names rights if in the
judgment of the Borrower reasonably exercised such action is advisable for

the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning the

(herein called "Margin Stock"), or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any
indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry a margin stock
or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a "purpose
credit" within the meaning of Regulation U or X, or in any manner which might
involve any Bank in a violation of Regulation U or Regulation X, or cause this

Plan, nor has the PBGC instituted any such proceedings; neither the Borrowers
nor any ERISA affiliate have completely or partially withdrawn under Section

all of its Plans and the present fair market value of all Plan assets exceeds
the present value of all vested benefits under each Plan, as determined on the
most recent valuation of the Plan assets and in accordance with the provisions

or adversely affects such business or property or operation of the Borrowers.

SECTION 3.18 NO SUBORDINATION.

         The obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement

REGULATIONS.

         (a) To the Borrowers knowledge, the Borrowers are in material
compliance with all state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to
environmental protection, the violation of which would have a material effect on
the Borrower's business. The Borrowers have not received any written or oral
communication or notice from any court or governmental agency nor are they aware
of any investigation by any agency for any material violation of any
environmental protection law or regulation.

         (b) The Borrowers agree to comply with all applicable requirements in
effect from time to time of all federal, state, local and other governmental
authorities with respect to environmental protection.

         (c) The Borrowers further agree promptly to notify the Bank of any
environmental proceedings brought or threatened by any state or federal agency
against the Borrower, and the Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and hold the
Bank harmless from and against any claim which may be brought against the Bank
by any state or federal agency by reason of the Bank being a lender to the
Borrower.

         (d) The Borrowers agree further that, in view of recent environmental
litigation involving bank lenders, the Borrowers waive any right and agree to
assert no claim against the Bank which might otherwise arise or be claimed by
the Borrowers, should the Bank elect to forego its rights to seek satisfaction
of Borrower's obligations to Bank from any of Borrower's real estate for the
reason that enforcement of such rights might expose the Bank to liability for
Hazardous Materials upon such real estate under federal or state environmental
laws or regulations.

         Borrower will maintain an office or agency at 115 S. Ludlow St.,

                                      -29-
<PAGE>   30
default, as well as all lawful claims and liabilities of any kind (including
claims and liabilities for labor, materials and supplies) which, if unpaid,
might by law become a Lien upon its property; provided, however. that neither
the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such
tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if the amount, applicability or validity
thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and if the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall have set aside on

SECTION 5.5 TO INSURE.

         Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to:

         A. Keep all of its insurable properties owned by it insured against all
risks usually insured against by persons operating like properties in the
localities where the properties are located, all in amount sufficient to prevent
the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from becoming a
coinsurer within the terms of the policies in question, but in any event in
amounts not less than 80% of the then full replacement value thereof;

         B. Maintain public liability insurance against claims for personal
injury, death or property damage suffered by others upon or in or about any

as is usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or a
similar business and similarly situated; and

         D. Maintain all such workers' compensation or similar insurance as may
be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which it may be
engaged in business.

         All insurance for which provision has been made in Section 5.5B and
Section 5.5C shall be maintained in at least such amounts as such insurance is
usually carried by persons of comparable size engaged in the same or a similar
business and similarly situated; and all insurance herein provided for shall be
effected under a valid and enforceable policy or policies issued by insurers of
recognized responsibility, except that the Borrower or any such Restricted
Subsidiary may effect (i) workers' compensation or other similar insurance in
respect of

                                      -30-
<PAGE>   31
operations in any state or other jurisdiction either through an insurance fund
operated by such state or other jurisdiction or by causing to be maintained a
system or systems of self-insurance which are in accordance with applicable
laws, and (ii) all other insurance required by Section 5.5B and 5.5C through a
system of self-insurance maintained in accordance with the Borrowers' current
practices.

SECTION 5.6 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.

         Continue to engage in an efficient and economical manner in the
business of the same general type as now conducted by the Borrower.

         Provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall prevent
the Borrower from discontinuing any part of the business of the Borrower if the
discontinuance would not result in a material adverse change to the business of
Borrower.

SECTION 5.7 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTIES.

         Maintain, keep and preserve all of their properties (tangible and
intangible) real, chattel and otherwise, in good order and working condition and

                       Liens, exceptions, encumbrances, easements, reservations,
                       rights and restrictions do not, in the opinion of

                       Indebtedness shall not exceed 15% of the Consolidated
                       Tangible Capitalization; and

                (ii)   Reynolds could incur at least $1 of additional

                shall, by written instrument furnished to the Bank, be expressly
                assumed by such successor (if other than Reynolds) or
                transferee;

         (3)    at the time of such transaction and assumption, and immediately
                after giving effect thereto:

                (i)    no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse

                together with the book value (net of related depreciation) of
                all other assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries so
                disposed of in any fiscal year of Reynolds would constitute 10%
                or more of the book value (net of related depreciation) of all
                the assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the
                last day of the fiscal year then most recently ended; or

         (2)    if the sum of the Net Income (excluding a net deficit) for the
                three fiscal years of Reynolds most recently ended contributed
                by such asset and all other assets of the Borrower and its
                Restricted Subsidiaries so disposed of during any fiscal year of
                Reynolds would exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Income for such

Borrowers in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken
will be without prejudice to the Bank's rights under this Agreement and will be
deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and
irrevocable. The provisions of this Section will survive the termination of this

manner hereinafter described, this Agreement and the Notes to incorporate any
such Restrictive Covenant. If the Bank shall elect to incorporate any such

the terms of this Section 9.13 shall remain in effect during the entire term of
this Agreement, notwithstanding the subsequent termination, rescission,
avoidance, waiver, release, amendment or other modification of all or any term
or provision of the Other Loan Document from which a Restrictive Covenant shall

<PAGE>   13
Special Facility Loans and (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with
the provisions hereof. The Loans made to both of the Borrowers shall not exceed

Loans, be not less than $1,000,000 or, if greater, in integral multiples of
$1,000,000 or (ii) in the case of Prime Loans, be not less than $100,000 or, if
greater, in integral multiples of $100,000.

     (b) The Borrowers shall not be entitled to have more than ten Loans in the
aggregate outstanding at any one time.

SECTION 2.3 NOTICES OF BORROWING.

     (a) Whenever either of the Borrowers desires to borrow a Loan (other than a
Special Facility Loan), it shall give the Bank at its Principal Office written
notice or telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) of such borrowing
(x) in the case of a CD Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, by no later than 10:00 a.m.
(Dayton, Ohio time) on the date of borrowing and (y) in the case of a Prime
Loan, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Dayton, Ohio time) on the date of borrowing.
Each such notice (each, together with any notice electing to incur a Special
Facility Loan given in accordance with Section 2.3(b), a "Notice of Borrowing")
shall specify (i) the principal amount which such Borrower desires to borrow,
(ii) the date of borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether such
Loan is to be maintained as a Prime Loan, CD Loan or Eurodollar Loan and (iv)
the Interest Period to be applicable thereto.

     (b) Whenever either of the Borrowers desires to incur a Special Facility
Loan, it shall have the right to contact the Bank to determine the Special Rate
which would be applicable to a Special Facility Loan made by the Bank for the
principal amount and the Interest Period (which period shall be a period of from
7 to 90 days) requested by such Borrower and the Bank may, in its sole
discretion, provide a quote of a Special Rate for such Interest Period. Each
notice requesting a quote of a Special Rate shall specify that such request is
being made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Bank shall agree with
each Borrower from time to time on any additional procedures to be utilized in
making a request for a Special Facility Loan (including, without limitation, the
applicable notice period and the time period during which the Special Rate, if
any, quoted by the Bank shall remain available). Upon electing to incur a
Special Facility Loan, the Borrower electing to incur the same shall notify the
Bank in accordance with the aforesaid procedures established from time to time
with the Bank. Subject to availability, the Bank agrees to use its best efforts
to make Special Facility Loans available to the Borrowers; provided that the
Bank shall not be obligated to make Special Facility Loans hereunder.

SECTION 2.4 DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.

     No later than 12:00 Noon (Dayton, Ohio time) on the date specified in each
Notice of Borrowing, the Bank shall make available to the Borrower incurring the
same the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date in U.S. dollars and in
immediately available funds by the Bank crediting an account of such Borrower
designated by it and maintained with the Bank if its Principal Office. To the
extent that a Loan made to such Borrower matures on such date, the Bank shall
apply the proceeds of the Loan to be made on such date, to the extent thereof,
to the repayment of such maturing Loan.

SECTION 2.5 THE NOTES.

     The obligation of each Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest on,
all Loans made to it shall be evidenced by promissory notes substantially in the
form of Exhibits A and B (each a "Note") payable to the order of the Bank duly
executed and delivered by Borrowers with blanks appropriately completed in
conformity herewith. Each Note shall: (i) be dated the Effective Date; (ii) be
in the original principal amount of the Commitment and be payable in the
principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby; (iii) mature in the case of
each Loan evidenced thereby on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable

benefits of this Agreement. The Bank shall maintain internal records showing
each Loan made hereunder and each principal and interest payment thereon, which
records shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. Although
each Note shall be dated the Effective Date, interest in respect thereof shall
be payable only for the periods during which Loans are evidenced thereby and
although the stated principal amount of each Note shall be equal to the
Commitment, each note shall be enforceable with respect to the obligation of a
Borrower to pay the principal thereof only to the extent of the unpaid principal
amount of the Loans evidenced thereby.

amount of each Prime Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made
available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate
per annum which shall be equal to the Prime Rate.

     (b) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each CD Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are made
available to it until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a

     (c) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date the proceeds thereof are

     (d) Each Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Special Facility Loan made to it from the date the proceeds

such Special Facility Loan.

     (e) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest
in respect of each Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 3% in
excess of the Prime Rate in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no
Loan shall bear interest after maturity at a rate per annum less than the rate
of interest applicable thereto at maturity.

     (f) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to
but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in
respect of each Prime Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
and (ii) in respect of each Fixed Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest

Section 2.7 INTEREST PERIODS.

     At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing, a Borrower shall have the
right to elect by giving the Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) the interest period (each an "Interest Period") applicable
to such Loan, which Interest Period shall (w) in the case of Prime Loans, be a
period of from 7 days 90 days, (x) in the case of CD Loans, be either a 30, 60
or 90 days period, (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, be either a one, two or
three month period, and (z) in the case of Special Facility Loans, be the same
period as requested by such Borrower at the time it contacts the Bank for a
quote of a Special Rate pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.3(b). The
determination of Interest Periods shall be subject to the following provisions:

     (i)    The Interest Period for any Loan shall commence on the date of such
            Loan;

     (ii)   If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not
            a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next
            succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest
            Period in respect of a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a
            day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after
            which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
            Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

     (iii)  No Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date; and

     (iv)   No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which the Loans
            (or any portion thereof) are required to be prepaid pursuant to

            are Prime Loans or which have Interest Periods which will expire on
            or before such date is equal to or in excess of the amount of such
            prepayment.

SECTION 2.8 INCREASED COSTS, ILLEGALITY, ETC.

     (a) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) at any time:

     (i)    that by reason of: (x) the requirements of Regulation D (excluding
            all reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in
            the computation of the Quoted Rate or the CD Rate), (y) any change
            since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or
            governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether
            or not having the force of law) or any interpretation or
            administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
            or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
            governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request) and/or
            (z) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, other circumstances affecting
            the Bank or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of the
            Bank in such market (such as for example but not limited to a change
            in the official reserve requirements to the extent not provided for
            in clause (i)(x) above), the Quoted Rate, the CD Rate or the Special
            Rate, as the case may be, shall not represent the effective pricing
            to the Bank for making, finding or maintaining the affected Fixed
            Rate Loan; or

     (ii)   that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become
            unlawful by compliance by the Bank in good faith with any law or any
            governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request, or has
            become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after
            the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects
            the interbank Eurodollar market; then, and in any such event, the
            Bank shall on such date give notice (by telephone confirmed in
            writing) of such determination to the Borrower which has requested
            or which has incurred such affected Fixed Rate Loan. Thereafter (x)
            in the case of clause (i), such Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon
            written demand therefor, such additional

                                       15
<PAGE>   16
            amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method
            of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Bank in its reasonable
            discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate or
            reimburse the Bank for the increased costs resulting from the
            circumstances described in such clause (i): provided, however, that
            the liability of the Borrowers to compensate or reimburse the Bank
            for increased costs resulting from a circumstance described in such
            clause (i) prior to the first demand by the Bank for such
            compensation or reimbursement shall be limited to those increased
            costs incurred in the one year period preceding the date of such
            demand (a written notice as to additional amounts owed the Bank
            pursuant to this clause (x), showing the basis for the calculation
            thereof, submitted to such Borrower by the Bank shall, absent
            manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding); and (y) in the
            case of clause (ii), take one of the actions specified in Section
            2.8(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time
            period required by law.

     (b) At any time that any Fixed Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances
described in Section 2.8(a), the Borrower which has requested or which has
incurred such Fixed Rate Loan may (and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan
affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.8(a)(ii) shall, either (x)
if the affected Fixed Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing by giving the Bank telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the Bank pursuant to
Section 2.8(a) either (i) cancel such borrowing or (ii) require the Bank to make
the requested Fixed Rate Loan as a Prime Loan or (y) if the affected Fixed Rate
Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days' written notice to
the Bank, require the Bank to convert the Fixed Rate Loan so affected into a
Prime Loan.

     (c) In the event that the Bank shall have determined (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding) on any date for
determining the Quoted Rate for any Interest Period that, by reason of any
changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the
applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the applicable interest
rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Quoted Rate, then the bank
shall on such date give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) of such
determination to the Borrower which has requested such affected Eurodollar Loan
and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bank shall have
no obligation to make, and shall not make, the requested Eurodollar Loan unless
the Borrower requesting such Eurodollar Loan agrees in writing on the date it is
notified of such determination by the Bank to pay to the Bank, upon written
demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of,
or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as the Bank in its
reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to cause the Bank to
receive interest with respect to such affected Eurodollar Loan at a rate per
annum which shall equal the effective pricing to the Bank to make such
Eurodollar Loan plus the applicable percentage in excess of the Quoted Rate
referred to in Section 2.6(c).

     (d) If the Bank determines at any time that any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request (whether or not
having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy or any change in
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency (including the introduction of any new law or
governmental rule, regulation, guideline, order or request), will have the
effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by the Bank
based on the existence of the Commitment or its obligations hereunder, then the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Bank, upon its written
demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the
Bank for the increased cost or reduced rate of return to the Bank as a result of
such increase of capital; provided, however, that the liability of the Borrowers
to compensate the Bank under this Section 2.8(d) prior to the first demand by
the Bank for such compensation shall be limited to compensation for the
increased cost or reduced rate of return incurred in the one year period
preceding the date of such demand. In determining such additional amounts,

                                       16
<PAGE>   17
the Bank will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and
attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that the Bank's determination
of compensation owing under this Section 2.8(d) shall, absent manifest error, be
final, conclusive and binding.

SECTION 2.9 COMPENSATION.

     Each Borrower shall compensate the Bank with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan
made or to be made to it, upon the Bank's written request (which request shall
set forth the basis in reasonable detail for requesting such amounts), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
interest paid by the Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry a
Fixed Rate Loan to the extent not recovered by the Bank in connection with the
re-employment of such funds), which the Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason
(other than a default by the Bank) a borrowing of a Fixed Rate Loan does not
occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, (ii) if any
prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan
is not made on the date specified in a notice of prepayment given pursuant to

2.9, the rate of interest which the Bank shall be deemed to earn from the
re-employment of funds shall be a rate of interest per annum, determined by the
Bank in good faith, equal to the rate found at that point of the United States
Treasury securities yield curve (determined with such interpolation as is
necessary) for securities (if they were to be issued) with a term to maturity
comparable to the Fixed Rate Loan in question, such yield curve to be
constructed by the Bank using then current asking prices by dealers in United

part, provided that partial reductions shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or
an integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.12 PAYMENTS ON NONBUSINESS DAYS.

     Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated
to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if a payment of principal has
been so extended, interest shall be payable on such principal at the applicable
rate during such extension; provided, however, in the event that the day on
which any such payment relating to a Eurodollar Loan is due is not a Business
Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, then the due date thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day.

     The Borrowers agree to make a mandatory prepayment with respect to the
Loans outstanding on each Quarterly Principal Payment Date, each such prepayment
to be in a principal amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans then outstanding over (ii) the then Commitment (as
calculated after giving effect to any reduction to the Commitment made on such
Quarterly Principal Payment Date).

SECTION 2.15 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT IN CERTAIN EVENTS.

     In the event that any "person" or "group" (within the meaning of Section
13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) at any
time hereafter becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under

future Taxes) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid
under this Agreement and the Notes. A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable to the Bank under this Section 2.17 submitted to either of the
Borrowers by the Bank shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the
calculations used to determine in good faith such amount and shall, absent
manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding. With respect to each deduction
or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, each Borrower shall promptly
furnish to the Bank such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be
required (in the judgment of the Bank) to establish any tax credit to which the
Bank may be entitled.

affiliate, have met its minimum funding requirement under ERISA with respect to
all of its Plans and the present fair market value of all Plan assets exceeds
the present value of all vested benefits under each Plan, as determined on the
most recent valuation of the Plan assets and in accordance with the provisions
of ERISA and the regulations thereunder for calculating the potential liability
of the Borrowers or any ERISA affiliate to the PBGC or the Plan under Title IV
of ERISA; and neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA affiliate has incurred any
liability to the PBGC under ERISA.

Borrower's business. The Borrowers have not received any written or oral
communication or notice from any court or governmental agency

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

effect from time to time of all federal, state, local and other governmental
authorities with respect to environmental protection.

     (d) The Borrowers further agree promptly to notify the Bank of any
environmental proceedings brought or threatened by any state or federal agency
against the Borrower, and the Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify and hold the
Bank harmless from and against any claim which may be brought against the Bank
by any state or federal agency by reason of the Bank being a lender to the
Borrower.

     (e) The Borrowers agree further that, in view of recent environmental
litigation involving bank lenders, the Borrowers waive any right and agree to
assert no claim against the Bank which might otherwise arise or be claimed by
the Borrowers, should the Bank elect to forego its rights to seek satisfaction
of Borrower's obligations to Bank from any of Borrower's real estate for the
reason that enforcement of such rights might expose the Bank to liability for
Hazardous Materials upon such real estate under federal or state environmental
laws or regulations.

     (f) For purposes of this paragraph, "Hazardous Materials" includes, without
limit, any flammable explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous materials
defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.), the Hazardous
Materials Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Sections 1801, et seq.), the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq.), and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant
thereto, or any other federal, state or local environmental law, ordinance,
rule, or regulation. The provisions of this Section shall be in addition to any
and all other obligations and liabilities the Borrower may have to the Bank at
common law, and shall survive the transactions contemplated herein.

                                   ARTICLE IV

provided, however, that:

     (i)    any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
            dispose of any of its properties and assets if such sale, lease,
            transfer or disposition is not prohibited by the provisions of
            Section 6.5B, except that a Restricted Subsidiary may not sell all
            or substantially all of its properties and assets unless such sale
            is for cash in an amount not less than the fair market value of
            such properties and assets and unless:

            (a)    such sale will not materially and adversely affect the
                   conduct of the business of Reynolds or any of its other
                   Restricted Subsidiaries;

            (b)    such Restricted Subsidiary does not own any Indebtedness of
                   Reynolds or capital stock or any Indebtedness of any other

                   compliance with Section 6.4B; and

            (c)    at the time of such transaction and immediately after giving
                   effect thereto (x) no Event of Default or event which, with
                   notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event
                   of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (y)
                   Reynolds could incur at least $1 of additional Indebtedness
                   in compliance with Section 6.1B, and (z) the aggregate
                   amount of Priority Indebtedness shall not exceed 15% of

                                       33
<PAGE>   34
     (ii)   any Restricted Subsidiary may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
            dispose of all or any part of its properties and assets to, or
            consolidate with or merge into, Reynolds (subject to the provisions
            of Section 6.5) or a Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary; and

     (iii)  any Restricted Subsidiary may permit another person to merge into it
            provided that the requirements of clause (i) (c) of this Section
            6.4A are complied with and immediately after such merger said
            Restricted Subsidiary is a Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary.

     B. Reynolds will not sell, assign, transfer, dispose of, or in any way part
with control of, any shares of capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary or any
Indebtedness owning from any Restricted Subsidiary to Reynolds, except, in the
case of shares of capital stock, to the extent, if any, required to qualify
directors of such Restricted Subsidiary under any applicable law; provided,
however, that all shares of capital stock of all classes, together with all
Indebtedness, of any Restricted Subsidiary owned by Reynolds and/or one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries may be sold as an entirety if such sale, if treated as a
sale of such Subsidiary's assets made by such Subsidiary, would not be
prohibited by the provisions of Section 6.4A(i).

     C. Reynolds will not designate any Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary
unless it is so designated by resolution of the Board of Directors and:

     (1)    such corporation shall have outstanding only such Indebtedness and
            Liens as it would then have been permitted to create, incur or
            assume in compliance with Section 6.1 and Section 6.2;

     (2)    Reynolds and/or one or more Wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries

            liquidation, and all rights, options and warrants to acquire any
            such preference stock; and

     (3)    immediately after such designation, no Event of Default or event
            which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an
            Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     Any subsidiary so designated as a Restricted Subsidiary may not thereafter
     cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary.

6.5  MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, SALE OR LEASE.

     A. Reynolds will not consolidate with or merge into any Person, or permit
any Person to merge into it, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of
all or substantially all of its properties and assets, unless:

     (1)    the successor formed by or resulting from such consolidation or
            merger (if other than the Company) or the transferee to which such
            sale, lease, transfer or other disposition shall be made shall be
            solvent corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
            the United States of America or any State thereof;

            transferee;

                                       34

     (3)    at the time of such transaction and assumption, and immediately
            after giving effect thereto:

            (i)    no Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of
                   time or both, would constitute an Event of Default shall have
                   occurred and be continuing;

            (ii)   Reynolds or such successor or transferee, as the case may be,
                   could incur at least $1 of additional Indebtedness in
                   compliance with Section 6.1B; and

            (iii)  the aggregate amount of Priority Indebtedness shall not
                   exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Capitalization.

     B. Except as permitted in Section 6.5A above, Reynolds will not, directly

     (1)    if the book value (net of related depreciation) of such asset,
            together with the book value (net of related depreciation) of all
            other assets of Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries so disposed
            of in any fiscal year of Reynolds would constitute 10% or more of
            the book value (net of related depreciation) of all the assets of
            Reynolds and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the last day of the
            fiscal year then most recently ended; or

     (2)    if the sum of the Net Income (excluding a net deficit) for the three
            fiscal years of Reynolds most recently ended contributed by such
            asset and all other assets of the borrower and its Restricted
            Subsidiaries so disposed of during any fiscal year of Reynolds would
            exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Income for such period of three
            fiscal years; or

     (3)    if, with respect to any sale of accounts receivable, the proceeds
            of any such sale are not simultaneously applied to repay the senior
            debt on a pro rata basis or reinvested in operating assets of

     Reynolds will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage

without the prior written consent of the Bank.

respect to advising the Bank as to its rights and responsibilities under any of
the Loan Documents.

     In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and
fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution,
delivery, filing and recording of any of the Loan Documents and other documents
to be delivered under any such Loan Documents, and agree to save the Bank
harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes and fees or against any

<PAGE>   44

     The Borrowers agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the Bank and its
directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively the "Indemnitees") from
and against:

     (a)    Any and all writs, subpoenas, claims, demand, actions or causes of
            action that are served on or asserted against any Indemnitee by any
            Person, and

     (b)    Any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including
            reasonable attorneys fees) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as
            a result of any other matter specified in this Section. The
            obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive payment
            of all Loans.

SECTION 9.8 RIGHT OF SETOFF.

     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the
Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to
the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by the Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and
all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement, any Note or any of the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not
the Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement, any Note or any of the
Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Bank agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application, provided
that the failure to give to such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application. The rights of the Bank under this Section are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of setoff) which the Bank may have.

     In addition, any and all instruments, documents, monies, securities, goods,
chooses in action, chattel paper and any other property of the Borrower, or in
which the Borrowers have any interest, tangible or intangible, and the proceeds
thereof, which now or hereafter are at any time in the custody or possession of
the Bank or any third party acting in the Bank's behalf, without regard to
whether the Bank received the same in pledge, for safekeeping, as agent for
collection or transmission or otherwise or whether the Bank has conditionally
released the same, shall constitute additional security for any Note and may be
applied at any time to the liability represented thereby which is then due,
whether by acceleration or otherwise.

SECTION 9.9 PAYMENT.

     Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on any Loan shall become due
and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday under the laws of the State
of Ohio, such payment may be made in the next succeeding business day and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest on such
payment.

SECTION 9.10 BANK'S DUTIES UPON PAYMENT IN FULL BY BORROWER.

     Upon payment in full of all obligations hereunder and the termination of
the Bank's obligations to make further loans to the Borrower, the Bank shall
reassign to the Borrower any collateral that the Borrower may have previously
assigned or delivered to the Bank and not yet fully collected. At the
Borrower's written request, the Bank will cause to be cancelled of record, all
financing statements or other documents which may have previously been filed and
recorded in public offices by or on behalf of the Bank evidencing the Borrower's
obligation hereunder to the Bank and the security therefore and will deliver to
the Borrower any Note paid in full marked "Paid-in-Full".

<PAGE>   45
SECTION 9.11 CONSTRUCTION.

     This Agreement, the Loan Documents, including but not limited to any
Security Documents and the Notes, shall be governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Ohio, or to the extent such laws are superseded
because the Bank is a national banking association, by the banking laws of the
United States.

SECTION 9.12 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.

     Any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.13. COVENANTS IN OTHER INDEBTEDNESS.

     In the event the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof shall execute, make or
otherwise enter into any instrument, document or agreement relating to the
incurrence or maintenance of any Indebtedness, or any amendment, waiver,
restatement, reevidencing or other modification of any documentation relating to
any of its existing Indebtedness (collectively, "Other Loan Documents"), the
effect of which in any such case is to implement or subject, the Borrower or
such Subsidiary to any affirmative, negative, financial or other covenants, or
to any events of default (collectively, "Restrictive Covenants"), which
Restrictive Covenants are in any respect materially different from the
Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly
so advise the Bank. Thereafter, the Borrower shall provide the Bank such
information, in such reasonable detail, as the Bank may reasonably request in
respect of the applicable Restrictive Covenants and the Other Loan Documents.
The Bank shall have the right, at any time, in its sole discretion, to elect to
amend in the manner hereinafter described, this Agreement and the Note to
incorporate any such Restrictive Covenant, other than any Restrictive Covenant
which would effect an amendment of Section 2.6 or 2.14 of this Agreement. If the
Bank shall elect to incorporate any such Restrictive Covenant, it shall so
notify the Borrower in a written notice and, upon the giving of such notice,
this Agreement shall be deemed amended to incorporate such Restrictive Covenant.
Any amendment effected in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.13 shall
remain in effect during the entire term of this Agreement, notwithstanding the
subsequent termination, rescission, avoidance, waiver, release, amendment or
other modification of all or any term or provision of the Other Loan Document
from which a Restrictive Covenant shall have originated (including, without
limitation, any modification to such Restrictive Covenant in such Other Loan
Document), unless the Bank and the Borrower shall otherwise agree in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Article VIII hereof.

SECTION 9.14 HEADINGS.

     Article and section numbers in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of the Agreement for any other
purpose.

SECTION 9.15 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.

     This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

  THE REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS COMPANY ("PARENT"), DELAWARE ACQUISITION CO. (the
"PURCHASER"), and DUPLEX PRODUCTS INC. (the "COMPANY") agree as follows:

                                    RECITALS

  Parent is an Ohio corporation. The Purchaser is a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  The Company is a Delaware corporation.

  The Boards of Directors of Parent, the Purchaser and the Company have
approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective
shareholders to consummate, the acquisition of the Company by Parent upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this agreement (the
"AGREEMENT").

1. THE OFFER AND MERGER.
   ---------------------

  1.1  THE OFFER.

   (a)   As promptly as practicable (but in no event later than five business
days after the public announcement of the execution hereof) and provided that
none of the events described in the attached Annex A has occurred and is then
continuing, the Purchaser shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT")) an
offer (the "OFFER") to purchase for cash all of the issued and outstanding
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (either the "SHARES" or "COMPANY COMMON
STOCK"), of the Company (including the associated Preferred Stock Purchase
Rights (the "RIGHTS") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement between the
Company and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, dated as of June 8, 1989, as amended
(the "RIGHTS AGREEMENT")), at a price of $12.00 per Share, net to the seller in
cash (such price, or such higher price per Share as may be paid in the Offer,
being referred to herein as the "OFFER PRICE"), subject to there being validly
tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, that number of
Shares which, together with the Shares beneficially owned by Parent or the
Purchaser, represent at least 70% of the Shares outstanding on a fully diluted
basis (the "MINIMUM CONDITION") and to the other conditions set forth in Annex
A (collectively, the "TENDER OFFER CONDITIONS").

   (b)   The Purchaser shall, on the terms and subject to the prior
satisfaction or waiver (subject to the limitations on waiver described in the
first sentence of Section 1.1(c)) of the Tender Offer Conditions, accept for
payment and pay for Shares tendered as soon as it is legally permitted to do so
under applicable law.  The obligations of the Purchaser to commence the Offer
and to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares validly tendered on or
prior to the expiration of the Offer and not withdrawn shall be subject





                                       1

<PAGE>   7
only to the Tender Offer Conditions.  The Offer shall be made by means of an
offer to purchase (the "OFFER TO PURCHASE") containing the terms set forth in
this Agreement and the Tender Offer Conditions.

   (c)    (i) Any of the Tender Offer Conditions may be waived; provided,
however, that, without the consent of the Company, the Purchaser shall not
waive the Minimum Condition.  The Tender Offer Conditions are for the sole
benefit of Parent and the Purchaser and may be asserted by Parent and the
Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such Tender Offer
Conditions and, subject to the preceding sentence, may be waived by Parent and
the Purchaser in whole or in part.

         (ii) The Purchaser expressly reserves the right to modify the terms of
the Offer (except as provided in the following sentence), including, without
limitation, to extend the Offer beyond any scheduled expiration date; provided,
however, without the consent of the Company, the Purchaser shall not (A) reduce
the number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (B) reduce the Offer Price,
(C) modify or add to the Tender Offer Conditions or (D) change the form of
consideration payable in the Offer.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
if, as of the scheduled expiration date of the Offer (as the same may have been
duly extended), any of the Tender Offer Conditions shall not have been
satisfied, the Offer may be extended in Purchaser's sole discretion; provided,
however, that under any circumstance the Offer may not be extended beyond June
15, 1996.  In addition, the Offer Price may be increased (any increase shall be
at Purchaser's sole discretion and Purchaser shall have no obligation to
increase the Offer Price) and the Offer may be extended to the extent required
by law in connection with such increase, in each case without the consent of
the Company.

   (d)   (i)  As soon as practicable on the date the Offer is commenced, Parent
and the Purchaser shall file with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 with respect
to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and
including the exhibits thereto, the "SCHEDULE 14D-1").  The Schedule 14D-1 will
include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal
and summary advertisement (collectively, together with any amendments and
supplements thereto, the "OFFER DOCUMENTS").

        (ii) The Offer Documents will comply in all material respects with the
provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with
the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company's
shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, except that no representation





                                       2

<PAGE>   8
is made by Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by the
Company in writing for inclusion in the Offer Documents.  Each of Parent and
the Purchaser further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer
Documents to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares,
in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities
laws.  Each of Parent and the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on
the other hand, agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for
use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false
and misleading in any material respect and the Purchaser further agrees to take
all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed
with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and
to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. The Company and
its counsel shall be given the opportunity to review the Schedule 14D-1 before
it is filed with the SEC.  In addition, Parent and the Purchaser agree to
provide the Company and its counsel in writing with any comments Parent, the
Purchaser or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC with
respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments.

  1.2  COMPANY ACTIONS.

   (a)   The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and
represents that the Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has:

     (i) determined by unanimous vote that each of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger (as
defined in Section 1.4) is fair to and in the best interest of the holders of
the Company Common Stock (the  Offer and the Merger are collectively referred
to in this Agreement as the "TRANSACTIONS");

     (ii) approved by unanimous vote this Agreement and each of the
Transactions and, for the purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL (as defined in
Section 1.4), the tender agreements (or letters of intent to tender) to be
entered into immediately after this Agreement on the date hereof between
Parent, the Purchaser and one or more of Tweedy Browne & Company, LP, College
Retirement Equities Fund - Stock, Smith (Donald) & Company, Inc.  Franklin
Balance Sheet Investment Fund, Delphi Management, David L. Babson & Company,
Inc., Babson Enterprise Fund, Brinson Partners, Brinson Post-Venture Fund and
The Franklin Microcap Value Fund (collectively, the "TENDER AGREEMENTS");

     (iii) resolved to recommend that the shareholders of the Company accept
the Offer, tender their Shares thereunder to the Purchaser and approve and
adopt this Agreement and the Merger; provided, that such recommendation may be
withdrawn, modified or amended only under the circumstances described in
Section 5.7; and





                                       3

<PAGE>   9
     (iv) taken all other action necessary to render  the Rights Agreement
inapplicable to the Transactions and the Tender Agreements.

The Company represents that the actions set forth in this Section 1.2(a) and
all other actions it has taken in connection therewith are, assuming the
accuracy of, and in reliance upon, the information received in writing from
Parent as to the ownership of Shares by Parent, Purchaser and their affiliates,
sufficient to render (i) Section 203 of the DGCL inapplicable to the
Transactions and the Tender Agreements and (ii) the super-majority voting
requirements set forth in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
inapplicable to this Agreement and the Transactions.

   (b)   The Company further represents that Duff & Phelps Capital Markets
Company ("DUFF & PHELPS") has delivered to the Company its opinion that the 
consideration to be received by the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant 
to the Offer and the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point 
of view, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in such 
opinion.

   (c)   (i)  Concurrently with the commencement of the Offer, the Company
shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule
14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including the
exhibits thereto, the "SCHEDULE 14D-9") which shall, subject to the fiduciary
duties of the Company's directors under applicable law (and the provisions of
Section 5.7) and to the provisions of this Agreement, contain the
recommendation referred to in clause (iii) of Section 1.2(a) hereof.

        (ii) The Schedule 14D-9 will comply in all material respects with the
provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with
the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company's
shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by the Company
with respect to information supplied by Parent or the Purchaser in writing for
inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9.  The Company further agrees to take all steps
necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be filed with the SEC and to be
disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required
by applicable federal securities laws.  Each of the Company, on the one hand,
and Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agrees promptly to correct any
information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent
that it shall have become false and misleading in any material respect and the
Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9
as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of
the Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal
securities laws.  Parent and





                                       4

<PAGE>   10
its counsel shall be given the opportunity to review the Schedule 14D-9 before
it is filed with the SEC.  The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel
with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC with
respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, and
shall provide Parent and its counsel with an opportunity to participate,
including by way of discussions with the SEC, in the response of the Company to
such comments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,  the
subsequent withdrawal, modification or amendment of such recommendation under
the circumstances described in Section 5.7 shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement.

   (d)   In connection with the Offer, the Company will promptly furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Purchaser mailing labels, security position
listings and any available listing or computer file containing the names and
addresses of the record holders of the Shares as of a recent date, and shall
furnish the Purchaser with such information and assistance as the Purchaser or
its agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the
shareholders of the Company.  Except for such steps as are necessary to
disseminate the Offer Documents, Parent and the Purchaser shall hold in
confidence the information contained in any of such labels and lists and the
additional information referred to in the preceding sentence, will use such
information only in connection with the Offer, and, if this Agreement is
terminated, will upon request of the Company deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Company all copies of such information then in its possession or the
possession of its agents or representatives.

   (e)   As promptly as practicable on or after the date hereof, but in no
event later than two days following announcement of the Offer, the Company will
amend the Rights Agreement, as necessary (the "RIGHTS AMENDMENT"), (i) to
prevent this Agreement, the Transactions or the Tender Agreements or the
consummation of any of the Transactions contemplated thereby, including without
limitation, the publication or other announcement of the Offer and the
consummation of the Offer and the Merger, from resulting in the distribution of
separate Rights certificates or the occurrence of a Distribution Date (as
defined therein) or being deemed a Triggering Event (as defined therein) and
(ii) to provide that neither Parent nor the Purchaser shall be deemed to be an
Acquiring Person (as defined therein) by reason of the transactions expressly
provided for in this Agreement and the Tender Agreements.  The Company
represents that the Rights Amendment will be sufficient to render the Rights
inoperative with respect to any acquisition of Shares by Parent, the Purchaser
or any of their affiliates pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Tender
Agreements.  As a result of the Rights Amendment, the Rights shall not be
exercisable upon or at any time after, the acceptance for payment of Shares
pursuant to the Offer and/or the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Tender
Agreements.

  1.3  DIRECTORS.

   (a)   Promptly upon the purchase of and payment for any Shares by Parent and
Purchaser which represents at least a majority of the outstanding shares of
Company Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) Parent shall be entitled to
designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the
Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product of the total
number of directors on such Board (giving effect to the directors designated by
Parent pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the
aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the Purchaser and Parent bears
to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding.  The
Company shall, upon request of the Purchaser, use its best efforts promptly
either to increase the size of its Board of Directors and/or, at the Company's
election, secure the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors as
is necessary to enable Parent's designees to be so elected to the Company's
Board, and shall cause Parent's designees to be so elected.  At such time, the
Company shall also cause persons designated by Parent to constitute the same
percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company's Board
of Directors of (i) each committee of the Company's Board of Directors, (ii)
each board of directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary (as defined in
Section 3.1) of the Company and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each
such board, in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law or the
rules of any stock exchange on which the Company Common Stock is listed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time (as defined in Section
1.5 hereof), the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to retain as a member
of its Board of Directors at least two directors who are directors of the
Company on the date hereof; provided, that subsequent to the purchase of and
payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer, Parent shall always have its
designees represent at least a majority of the entire Board of Directors.  The
Company's obligations under this Section 1.3(a) shall be subject to Section
14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.  The Company
shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to such Section 14(f) and
Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3(a),
including mailing to shareholders the information required by such Section
14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as is necessary to enable Parent's designees to be elected
to the Company's Board of Directors.  Parent or the Purchaser will supply the
Company any information with respect to either of them and their nominees,
officers, directors and affiliates required by such Section 14(f)and Rule
14f-1.  The provisions of this Section 1.3(a) are in addition to and shall not
limit any rights which the Purchaser, Parent or any of their affiliates may
have as a holder or beneficial owner of Shares as a matter of law with respect
to the election of directors or otherwise.

  (b)   From and after the time, if any, that Parent's designees constitute a
majority of the Company's Board of





                                       6

<PAGE>   12
Directors, any amendment of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement
by the Company, any extension of time for performance of any of the obligations
of Parent or the Purchaser hereunder, any waiver of any condition or any of the
Company's rights hereunder or other action by the Company hereunder may be
effected only by the action of a majority of the directors of the Company then
in office who were directors of the Company on the date hereof, which action
shall be deemed to constitute the action of the full Committee and the full
Board of Directors; provided, that if there shall be no such directors, such
actions may be effected by majority vote of the entire Board of Directors of
the Company.

  1.4  THE MERGER.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at
the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.5 hereof), the Company and the
Purchaser shall consummate a merger (the "MERGER") pursuant to which (a) the
Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate
existence of the Purchaser shall thereupon cease, (b) the Company shall be the
successor or surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware under the name of "Duplex
Products Inc.", and (c) the separate corporate existence of the Company with
all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue
unaffected by the Merger.  Pursuant to the Merger, (x) the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and such Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, and (y) the By-laws of the Company, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and such By-laws.  The corporation surviving the
Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "SURVIVING CORPORATION."
The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the  Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

  1.5  EFFECTIVE TIME.  Parent, the Purchaser and the Company will cause an
appropriate Certificate of Merger (the "CERTIFICATE OF MERGER") to be executed,
acknowledged and filed on the date of the Closing (as defined in Section 1.6)
(or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree) with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware (the "SECRETARY OF STATE") as provided in the
DGCL.  The Merger shall become effective on the date on which the Certificate
of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State or such time as is
agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, and such
time is hereinafter referred to as the "EFFECTIVE TIME."

  1.6  CLOSING.  The closing of the Merger (the "CLOSING") will take place at
10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later
than the fifth business day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the
conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof (the "CLOSING DATE"), at the Chicago,
Illinois

writing by the parties hereto.

  1.7  SURVIVING CORPORATION DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.  The directors and
officers of the Purchaser at the Effective Time shall, from and after the
Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving
Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed or
qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance
with the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.

  1.8  SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING.

   (a)   If required by applicable law in order to consummate the Merger, the
Company, acting through its Board of Directors, shall, in accordance with
applicable law:

     (i)  duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its
   shareholders (the "SPECIAL MEETING") as soon as practicable following the
   acceptance for payment and purchase of Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to
   the Offer for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this
   Agreement;

     (ii) prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy or information
   statement relating to the Merger and this Agreement and use its reasonable
   efforts (x) to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by
   the SEC in the Proxy Statement (as defined below) and, after consultation
   with Parent, to respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with
   respect to the preliminary proxy or information statement and cause a
   definitive proxy or information statement (the "PROXY STATEMENT") to be
   mailed to its shareholders and (y) to obtain the necessary approvals of the
   Merger and this Agreement by its shareholders; and

     (iii)  include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Board that
  shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and
  the adoption of this Agreement, subject, however, to the withdrawal,
  modification or amendment of that recommendation under the circumstances
  described in Section 5.7 of this Agreement.

   (b)  Parent agrees that it will vote, or cause to be voted, all of the
Shares then owned by it, the Purchaser or any of its other subsidiaries and
affiliates in favor of the approval of the Merger and the adoption of this
Agreement.

  1.9  MERGER WITHOUT MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS.  Notwithstanding Section 1.8
hereof, in the event that Parent, the Purchaser or any other subsidiary of
Parent shall acquire at least 90% of the Company Common Stock, pursuant to the
Offer or otherwise, the





                                       8

<PAGE>   14
parties hereto agree, at the request of Parent and subject to  Section 6
hereof, to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to
become effective as soon as practicable after such acquisition, without a
meeting of shareholders of the Company, in accordance with Section 253 of the
DGCL.

2. CONVERSION OF SECURITIES.

  2.1  CONVERSION OF CAPITAL STOCK.  As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of
Company Common Stock or common stock, no par value, of the Purchaser (the
"PURCHASER COMMON STOCK"):

   (a)   Purchaser Common Stock.  Each issued and outstanding share of the
Purchaser Common Stock shall be converted into and become one fully paid and
nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

   (b)   Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock.  All shares of
Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock and any
shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, the Purchaser or any other
wholly owned Subsidiary (as defined in Section 3.1 hereof) of Parent shall be
cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no stock of Parent or other
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

   (c)   Exchange of Shares.  Each issued and outstanding share of Company
Common Stock, including the associated Rights (other than shares to be
cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) shall be converted into the right
to receive the Offer Price, payable to the holder thereof, without interest
(the "MERGER CONSIDERATION"), upon surrender of the certificate formerly
representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in
Section 2.2.  All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall
no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such
shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to
receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such
certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but only to the extent required by
DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which the holders
comply with all the provisions of the DGCL concerning the right of holders of
Company Common Stock to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of their
shares of Company Common Stock ("DISSENTING STOCK") shall not be converted into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration but shall become the right to
receive such consideration as may be determined to be due the holders of the
Dissenting Stock ("DISSENTING STOCKHOLDERS") pursuant to the DGCL; provided,
however, that (i) if any Dissenting Stockholder shall subsequently deliver a
written withdrawal of his or her demand for appraisal





                                       9

<PAGE>   15
(with the written approval of the Surviving Corporation, if such withdrawal is
not tendered within 60 days after the Effective Time), or (ii) if any
Dissenting Stockholder fails to establish and perfect his or her entitlement to
appraisal rights as provided by the DGCL, or (iii) if within 120 days of the
Effective Time neither any Dissenting Stockholder nor the Surviving Corporation
has filed a petition demanding a determination of the value of all shares of
Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time and held by Dissenting
Stockholders in accordance with the DGCL, then such Dissenting Stockholder or
Stockholders, as the case may be, shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such
shares and such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into
the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration,
without interest.  The Company shall give Parent and the Purchaser (A) prompt
notice of any written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for
appraisal and any other related instruments received by the Company, and (B)
the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to
demands for appraisal.  The Company will not voluntarily make any payment with
respect to any demands for appraisal and will not, except with the prior
written consent of Parent, settle or offer to settle any such demand.

  2.2  EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

   (a)   Paying Agent.  Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act
as agent for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with
the Merger (the "PAYING AGENT") to receive the funds to which holders of shares
of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c).  Such
funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the
Surviving Corporation.

   (b)   Exchange Procedures. (i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
certificate or certificates, which immediately prior to the Effective Time
represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the "CERTIFICATES"),
whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive
the Merger Consideration (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates
shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and
shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company
may reasonably specify) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender
of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

     (ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent
or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with
such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall
be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each
share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such





                                       10

<PAGE>   16
Certificate and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a person other than the
person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a
condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person
requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required
by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the
registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been
paid or is not applicable.

     (iii) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger
Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with
this Section 2, provided that, the person to whom the Merger Consideration is
paid shall, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, give the Surviving
Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or otherwise indemnify the
Surviving Corporation in a manner satisfactory to it against any claim that may
be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate
claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     (iv) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each
Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent
only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by
this Section 2.2.

   (c)   Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.
At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed
and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of
Company Common Stock on the records of the Company.  From and after the
Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of shares of
Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall
cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise
provided for herein or by applicable law.  If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they
shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.

   (d)   Termination of Fund; No Liability.  (i)  Concurrently with the
Effective Time, Parent or the Purchaser shall deposit in trust with the Paying
Agent cash in United States dollars in an aggregate amount equal to the product
of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time (less those shares to be cancelled in accordance
with Section 2.1(b) and any shares known at the time of such deposit to be
Dissenting Stock), multiplied by (B) the Merger





                                       11

<PAGE>   17
Consideration (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the "PAYMENT
FUND").  The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by
Parent in direct obligations of the United States, obligations for which the
full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to provide for the
payment of principal and interest, commercial paper rated of the highest
quality by Moody's Investors Services, Inc.  or Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers' acceptances
of a commercial bank having at least $100,000,000 in assets (collectively,
"PERMITTED INVESTMENTS") or in money market funds which are invested in
Permitted Investments, and any net earnings with respect thereto shall be paid
to Parent as and when requested by Parent.  The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to
irrevocable instructions, make the payments referred to in Section 2.1(c)
hereof out of the Payment Fund.  The Payment Fund shall not be used for any
other purpose except as otherwise agreed to by Parent.

     (ii) At any time following one hundred twenty (120) days  after the
Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the
Paying Agent to deliver to it the remaining balance of the Payment Fund
(including any interest received with respect thereto), and thereafter such
holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to
abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) only as general creditors
thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of
their Certificates, without any interest thereon.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be
liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration delivered to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.

  2.3  COMPANY OPTION PLANS.

   (a)   Parent and the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide
that, effective as of the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding employee stock
option to purchase Shares (an "OPTION") granted under the Company's 1984
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1984 OPTION PLAN") or the Company's 1993
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1993 OPTION PLAN" and collectively with the
1984 Option Plan, the "OPTION PLANS"), whether or not then exercisable or
vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested, (ii) each Option that is
then outstanding shall be cancelled and (iii) in consideration of such
cancellation, and except to the extent that Parent or the Purchaser and the
holder of any such Option otherwise agree, the Company (or, at Parent's option,
the Purchaser) shall pay to such holders of Options an amount in respect
thereof equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over
the exercise price thereof and (B) the number of Shares subject thereto (such
payment to be net of applicable withholding taxes); provided that the foregoing
(x) shall be subject to the obtaining of any necessary consents of holders of
Options and the making of any necessary amendments to the Option Plans, it
being agreed that





                                       12

<PAGE>   18
the Company and Parent will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any such
consents and make any such amendments, and (y) shall not require any action
that violates the Option Plans; provided, further, that if it is determined
that compliance with any of the foregoing would cause any individual subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act ("SECTION 16") to become subject to the profit
recovery provisions thereof, any Options held by such individual will be
cancelled or purchased, as the case may be, as promptly as possible so as not
to subject such individual to any liability pursuant to Section 16, subject to
receiving an agreement from the holder of such Option not to exercise such
Option after the Effective Time, and such individual shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, for each Share subject to an Option an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the per Share exercise price of
such Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to the holders of
Options contemplated by this Section 2.3 may be withheld in respect of any
Option until any necessary consents or releases are obtained.

   (b)   Each Share previously issued in the form of restricted stock (both
"Restricted Shares" and "Investment Shares") under the Company's Restricted
Stock Purchase Plan (the "RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN") shall become fully and freely
transferable under the terms of the Offer immediately prior to the Effective
Time.

   (c)   Except as provided herein or as otherwise agreed to by the parties and
to the extent permitted by the Option Plans and the Restricted Stock Plan, (i)
the Option Plans and the Restricted Stock Plan shall terminate as of the
Effective Time and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement
providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the
capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deleted as of
the Effective Time and (ii) the Company shall take all actions necessary to
ensure that following the Effective Time, the Company will not be bound by any
Options, other options, warrants, rights or agreements which would entitle any
person (other than Parent or the Purchaser) to own or acquire  any equity
securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any subsidiary thereof
or to receive any payment in respect thereof.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

  The Company represents and warrants to Parent and the Purchaser as follows:

  3.1  ORGANIZATION.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a
corporation, partnership or other entity duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization and has all requisite corporate or other power and authority and
all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and operate its properties
and to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure
to be so organized, existing and in good standing or to





                                       13

<PAGE>   19
have such power, authority, and governmental approvals would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
As used in this Agreement, the word "SUBSIDIARY" means, with respect to any
person, any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or
unincorporated, of which (a) such person or any other Subsidiary of such person
is a general partner (excluding such partnerships where such person or any
Subsidiary of such person do not have a majority of the voting interest in such
partnership) or (b) at least a majority of the securities or other interests
having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the Board of
Directors or others performing similar functions with respect to such
corporation or other organization is directly or indirectly owned or controlled
by such person or by any one or more of its Subsidiaries, or by such person and
one or more of its Subsidiaries.  As used in this Agreement, any reference to
any event, change or effect being material or having a material adverse effect
on or with respect to any person (or group of persons taken as a whole) means
such event, change or effect is materially adverse to the consolidated
financial condition, businesses or results of operations of such person (or, if
used with respect thereto, of such group of persons taken as a whole). The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do
business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so
duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not in the aggregate have
a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
The only Subsidiary of the Company is Puerto Rico Envelopes, Inc.

  3.2  CAPITALIZATION.

   (a)   The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000
shares of Company Common Stock and 1,000,000 preferred shares, $1.00 par value
(the "PREFERRED STOCK").  As of the date hereof, (i) 7,481,278 shares of
Company Common Stock are issued and outstanding, (ii) 753,190 shares of Company
Common Stock are issued and held in the treasury of the Company, and (iii)
188,000 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise
of then outstanding Options granted under the Option Plans or rights granted
under the Restricted Stock Plan.  As of the date hereof, there are no shares of
Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
were reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Rights.  All the outstanding
shares of the Company's capital stock are, and all shares which may be issued
pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Options or Rights  will be, when issued
in accordance with the respective terms thereof, duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  There are no bonds, debentures, notes
or other indebtedness having general voting rights (or convertible into
securities having such rights)("VOTING DEBT") of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries issued and outstanding.  Except as set forth





                                       14

<PAGE>   20
above and except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as of the
date hereof, (x) there are no shares of capital stock of the Company
authorized, issued or outstanding and (y) there are no existing options,
warrants, calls, preemptive rights, subscriptions or other rights, agreements,
arrangements or commitments of any character, relating to the issued or
unissued capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, obligating
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer or sell or cause to
be issued, transferred or sold any shares of capital stock or Voting Debt of,
or other equity interest in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests
or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant, extend or
enter into any such option, warrant, call, subscription or other right,
agreement, arrangement or commitment.  Except as contemplated by this
Agreement, there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Shares
or the capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the

injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or assets, except in the case of
(c) or (d) for such violations, breaches or defaults which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company

ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
to operate in the ordinary course of business after the Effective Time.

  3.5  SEC REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  The Company has filed with the
SEC, and has heretofore made available to Parent true and complete copies of,
all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be
filed by it since November 1, 1992 under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act
(as such documents have been amended since the time of their filing,

if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, the Company SEC
Documents, including, without limitation, any financial statements or schedules

subsidiaries, comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and

year-end adjustments) and fairly present the consolidated financial position
and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows (and changes in
financial position, if any) of the Company and its consolidated





                                       17

declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution
(whether in cash, stock or property) with respect to the equity interests of

or any of its Subsidiaries in accounting principles or methods, except insofar
as may be required by a change in GAAP.

or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect on the Company
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or would be required by GAAP to be
reflected on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(including the notes thereto).  Section 3.7 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth
a list of all debt obligations of the Company (including capitalized leases),
and the total amounts of principal (both current and long-term portions) and
unpaid interest outstanding under the same (even if $0).

current employees and former employees or directors of the Company, whether or
not any such items are in writing or are exempt from the provisions of ERISA,
that have been established, maintained or contributed to or with respect to
which any potential material liability is borne by the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries or any trade or business, whether or not incorporated (an "ERISA
AFFILIATE"), that together with the Company would be deemed a "single employer"
within the meaning of section 4001(b)(15) of ERISA, or with respect to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or may have a liability
(collectively, the "BENEFIT PLANS").  Neither the Company nor any ERISA
Affiliate has any formal plan or commitment, whether legally binding or not, to
create any additional Benefit Plan or modify or change any existing Benefit
Plan that would affect any employee or terminated employee of the Company or
any Subsidiary.

   (b)   (i) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has at any time
maintained, contributed to, had an obligation to contribute to, or otherwise
sponsored a "defined benefit plan," as defined in ERISA Section 3(35), a plan
subject to Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"CODE"), or a "multiemployer plan," as defined in ERISA Section 4001(a)(3).

        (ii) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains any Benefit
Plan which is a "group health plan" (as such term is defined in Section
5000(b)(1) of the Code) that has not been administered and operated in all
material respects in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 601
of ERISA and Section 4980B(f) of the Code and neither the Company nor any of
its subsidiaries is subject to any material liability as a result of such
administration and operation.  Except as set forth in Section 3.9(b) of the
Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains any
Benefit Plan (whether qualified or nonqualified within the meaning of Section
401(a) of the Code) providing for retiree health and/or life benefits and
having material unfunded liabilities.

       (iii) Except as set forth in Section 3.9(b) of the Disclosure Letter
neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any material unfunded
liabilities pursuant to any Benefit Plan that

is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

   (c) All Benefit Plans have at all times been maintained and operated in all
material respects in compliance with their terms and the requirements
prescribed by all applicable statutes, orders or governmental rules or
regulations with respect thereto, and the Company and its ERISA Affiliates have
performed all material obligations required to be performed by them under, and

the Benefit Plans.  No condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the

Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
heretofore been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the "SERVICE") to
so qualify, and each trust created thereunder has heretofore been determined by
the Service to so qualify, and each trust created thereunder has heretofore
been determined by the Service to be exempt from tax under the provisions of
Section 501(a) of the Code and, to the best knowledge of the Company nothing
has occurred since the date of the most recent determination that would be
reasonably likely to cause any such Benefit Plan or trust to fail to qualify
under Section 401(a) or 501(a) of the Code.

   (e)   The Company has not incurred any material liability to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") under Section 4001 et seq. of ERISA, and
no condition exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the Company
incurring material liability under Title IV of ERISA, either singly or as a
member of any trade or business, whether or not incorporated, under common
control of or affiliated with the Company, within the meaning of Section
414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code.  All premiums payable to the PBGC have
been paid when due.

   (f)   The Company has made available to Parent, copies of all material

filed within the last year pursuant to ERISA or the Code with respect to the
Benefit Plans; (vi) the most recently prepared financial statements; and (vii)

limitation, service provider agreements, insurance contracts, annuity
contracts, investment management

recordkeeping agreements.

   (g) Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates nor, to the best
knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or other persons who participate in the operation of any Benefit Plan
or related trust or funding vehicle, has engaged in any transaction with
respect to any Benefit Plan or breached any applicable fiduciary
responsibilities or obligations under Title I of ERISA that would subject any
of them to a material tax, penalty or liability for prohibited transactions
under ERISA or the Code or would result in any material claim being made under,
by or on behalf of any such Benefit Plan by any party with standing to make
such claim.

   (h)   Full payment has been made of all amounts which the Company or any of
its ERISA Affiliates is required, under applicable law or under any Benefit
Plan or any agreement relating to any Benefit Plan to which the Company or any
of ERISA Affiliates is a party, to have paid as contributions thereto as of the
last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Benefit Plan ended prior to the
date hereof.  Benefits under all Benefit Plans are as represented and have not
been increased subsequent to the date as of which documents have been provided.

knowledge of the Company, threatened or anticipated (other than routine claims
for benefits) with respect to any Benefit Plan.

   (j)   Except as set forth in Section 3.9(j) of the Disclosure Letter, no
Benefit Plan provides for the payment of severance benefits upon the
termination of an employee's employment.  No compensation or benefit that is or
will be payable in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this
Agreement will be characterized as an "excess parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code.

   (k)   The Company has not made any commitment to establish any new Benefit
Plan, to modify any Benefit Plan or to increase benefits or compensation of
employees or former employees of the Company (except for normal increases in
compensation consistent with past practices or as disclosed in Section 3.9(k)
of the Disclosure Letter), nor has any intention to do so been communicated to
employees or former employees of the Company.

proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which,
if concluded adversely to the Company or its Subsidiary, would have,
individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or a material adverse effect on the





                                       21

full force and effect, except where failure to be legally valid and binding and
in full force and effect would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and there are no defaults
thereunder, except those defaults that would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  The Company has
previously made available for inspection by Parent or the Purchaser all
Material Agreements.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to or bound by the terms of any agreement, contract or commitment (a) to
obtain all or a substantial portion of its supply of any material good or
service from any other person (or group of persons), (b) to maintain the
confidentiality of any non-public information of another person; or (c) to
refrain from competing or otherwise offering its services or products to any
other person.


  3.18 REAL PROPERTY.  The Company and the Subsidiaries, as the case may be,
have sufficient title or leaseholds to real property to conduct their
respective businesses as currently conducted with only such exceptions as
individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

  3.19 OPINIONS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS.  The Company has received an opinion
from Duff & Phelps to the effect that the consideration to be received by the
shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to
such shareholders from a financial point of view, and a complete and correct
signed copy of such opinion will be promptly delivered to Parent.

  3.20 VOTE REQUIRED.  Unless the Merger is consummated in accordance with the
provisions of Section 253 of the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are the only votes
of the holders of any class or series of the Company's capital stock necessary
to approve the Merger.

  3.21 TITLE TO PROPERTIES.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good,
valid and marketable title to (a) all its material tangible properties and
assets (real and personal), including, without limitation, all material
properties and assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of October
28, 1995 except as indicated in the notes thereto and except for properties and
assets reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of





                                       26

<PAGE>   32
October 28, 1995 which have been sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary
course of business, and (b) all material tangible properties and assets
purchased by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries since October 28, 1995
except for such properties and assets which have thereafter been sold or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business; in each case subject
to no encumbrance, lien, charge or other restriction of any kind or character,
except for (w) liens reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of October
28, 1995, (x) liens consisting of zoning or planning restrictions, easements,
permits and other restrictions or limitations on the use of real property or
irregularities in title thereto which do not materially detract from the value
of, or impair the use of, such property by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries in the operation of its respective business, (y) liens for current
taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on such property not yet
due and delinquent and (z) mechanics, materialmen's and other similar liens
imposed by law and incurred in the ordinary course of business.

  3.22 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. (a) In the operation of its business, the
Company and its Subsidiaries have used, and currently use, domestic and foreign
patents, patent applications, patent licenses, software licenses, know-how
licenses, trade names, trademarks, copyrights, service marks, trademark
registrations and applications, service mark registrations and applications,
copyright registrations and applications, (collectively, the "INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY") and unpatented inventions, trade secrets and other confidential
proprietary information (collectively, the "KNOW-HOW").

   (b)   Section 3.22 of the Disclosure Letter contains an accurate and
complete list of all Intellectual Property which, to the best knowledge of the
Company, is of material importance to the operation of the business of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Unless otherwise indicated in Section 3.22
of the Disclosure Letter, the Company (or the Subsidiary indicated) owns the
entire right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property listed on
Section 3.22 of the Disclosure Letter used in the operation of its business
(including, without limitation, the exclusive right to use and license the
same) and each item constituting part of the Intellectual Property which is
owned by the Company or a Subsidiary and listed on Section 3.22 of the
Disclosure Letter has been, to the extent indicated in Section 3.22 of the
Disclosure Letter, duly registered with, filed in or issued by, as the case may
be, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or such other government
entities, domestic or foreign, as are indicated in Section 3.22 of the
Disclosure Letter and such registrations, filings and issuances remain in full
force and effect.  Except as stated in such Section 3.22 of the Disclosure
Letter, there are no pending or to the best knowledge of the Company,
threatened proceedings or litigation which would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's use of such Intellectual Property or other material adverse
claims affecting or with respect





                                       27

<PAGE>   33
to the Intellectual Property or the Know-How.  Section 3.22 of the Disclosure
Letter lists all notices or claims currently pending or received by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries during the past two years which claim infringement,
contributory infringement, inducement to infringe, misappropriation or breach
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any domestic or foreign patents,
patent applications, patent licenses and know-how licenses, trade names,
trademark registrations and applications, service marks, copyrights, copyright
registrations or applications, trade secrets or other confidential proprietary
information.  To the best knowledge of the Company, there exists no reasonable
basis upon which a claim may be asserted against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries for infringement, contributory infringement, inducement to
infringe, misappropriation or breach of any domestic or foreign patents, patent
applications, patent licenses, know-how licenses, trade names, trademark
registrations and applications, common law trademarks, service marks,
copyrights, copyright registrations or applications, trade secrets or other
confidential proprietary information.  To  the best knowledge of the Company,
except as indicated on Section 3.22 of the Disclosure Letter, no person is
infringing the Intellectual Property or the Know-How.

  3.23 BROKER'S OR FINDER'S FEES. No agent, broker, person or firm acting on
behalf of the Company is, or will be, entitled to any fee, commission or
broker's or finder's fees from any of the parties hereto, or from any person
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with any of the parties
hereto, in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions.

  3.24 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  (a)  Except as disclosed in the Company SEC

operated by the Company or its subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected
(A) to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against the Company, its
Subsidiaries or any property owned or operated by the Company or its
Subsidiaries, or (B) to cause such property to be subject to any restrictions
on the ownership, use, or transferability of any such property under any

approved the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement and the entering into, and
performance, by Parent and Purchaser of the Tender Agreements and such approval

and authority and all necessary governmental approvals to own, lease and
operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted,
except where the failure to be so organized, existing and in good standing or
to have such power, authority, and governmental approvals would not have a
material adverse effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Parent and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do
business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned,
leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so

whole.

  4.2  AUTHORIZATION; VALIDITY OF AGREEMENT; NECESSARY ACTION.  Each of Parent
and the Purchaser has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver
this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The

and the Purchaser and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent and
the Purchaser are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions so contemplated.  This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by Parent and the Purchaser, as the case may be, and, assuming this
Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company,
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and the Purchaser,

bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws, now or hereafter in effect,
affecting creditors' rights generally, and (b) the remedy of specific

delivery or performance of this Agreement by Parent and the Purchaser nor the
consummation by Parent and the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
hereby nor compliance by Parent and the Purchaser with any of the provisions
hereof will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the
respective certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Parent and the Purchaser,
(b) require any filing with, or permit, authorization, consent or approval of,
any Governmental Entity (except where the failure to obtain such permits,

material adverse effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole), (c)
result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or
lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, contract, agreement or
other instrument or obligation to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party or by which any of them or any of their properties or assets may be bound
or (d) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties or

effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

  4.4  INFORMATION IN PROXY STATEMENT; SCHEDULE 14D-9.  None of the information
supplied by Parent or the Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference
in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 14D-9 will, at the date mailed to

  5.5  CONSENTS AND APPROVALS.  Each of the Company, Parent and the Purchaser

requirements which may be imposed on it with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (which actions shall include, without
limitation, furnishing all information required under the HSR Act and in
connection with approvals of or filings with any other Governmental Entity) and
will promptly cooperate with and furnish information to each other in
connection with any such requirements imposed upon any of them or any of their
Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.  Each of the Company, Parent and the Purchaser will, and
will cause its Subsidiaries to, take all reasonable actions necessary to obtain
(and will cooperate with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization,
order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity or other
public or private third party required to be obtained or made by Parent, the
Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the
Merger or the taking of any action contemplated thereby or by this Agreement.

employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries will continue to be provided with
employee benefit plans (other than stock option, employee stock ownership or
other plans involving the potential issuance of securities of the Company or of

provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such employees.  Parent will,
and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor employee (or former
employee) benefit obligations and contractual rights existing as of the
Effective Time and all employment, incentive and deferred compensation or

shall, directly or indirectly, take (and the Company shall not authorize or
permit its or its subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees,
representatives, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or
other agents or affiliates, to so take) any action to (i) solicit or initiate
the submission of any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 5.7(b)), (ii)
enter into an agreement for the sale or other disposition by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries of a material amount of assets or a sale of shares of

with, or, furnish any information to, any person (other than Parent or the
Purchaser) in connection with, or take any other action to facilitate any
inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be
expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (and





                                       35

<PAGE>   41
the Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing
activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore
with respect to any of the foregoing); provided, however, that the Company may
participate in discussions or negotiations with or furnish information to any
third party which proposes a transaction which the Board of Directors of the
Company reasonably believes will result in an Acquisition Proposal, if the
Board of Directors reasonably and in good faith believes (and has received a
written opinion to that effect from independent counsel) that failing to take
such action would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties and if such third
party, as a condition to receipt of such information, executes a
confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than the Confidentiality
Agreement.  In addition, neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any
Committee thereof shall withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent the
approval and recommendation of the Offer and this Agreement or approve or
recommend any Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company may recommend to
its shareholders an Acquisition Proposal and in connection therewith withdraw
or modify its approval or recommendation of the Offer or the Merger if (i) the
Board of Directors of the Company has reasonably and in good faith determined
that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (as defined in Section
5.7(b)) and the Board of Directors has received a written opinion from
independent legal counsel that failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation
of the Offer and the Merger and to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section
7.1(e) would constitute a breach of the Board's fiduciary duties, (ii) all the
conditions to the Company's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance
with Section 7.1(e) have been satisfied (including the payment of the amount
required by Section 8.1), (iii) simultaneously with such withdrawal,
modification or recommendation, this Agreement is terminated in accordance with
Section 7.1(e) and (iv) the Acquisition Proposal does not provide for any
breakup fee or other inducement to the acquiror other than reimbursement of
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such Acquisition
Proposal.  Any actions permitted under, and taken in compliance with, this
Section 5.7 shall not be deemed a breach of any other covenant or agreement of
such party contained in this Agreement.

   (b)   "ACQUISITION PROPOSAL" shall mean any proposed merger or other
business combination, sale or other disposition of any material amount of
assets, sale of shares of capital stock, tender offer or exchange offer or
similar transactions involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
"SUPERIOR PROPOSAL" shall mean a bona fide proposal made by a third party to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company pursuant to a tender offer
or a merger, or to purchase all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company on terms which a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of
the Company determines in its good faith reasonable judgment (based on the
advice of its financial and legal advisors) to be more favorable to the Company
and its shareholders than the transactions contemplated hereby, and which does
not provide for





                                       36

<PAGE>   42
any breakup fee or other inducement to the acquiror other than reimbursement of

the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount; provided
further, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute for such Company
policies, policies with at least the same coverage containing terms and
conditions which are no less advantageous and provided that said substitution
does not result in any gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters
occurring prior to the Effective Time or (ii) cause the Parent's directors' and
officers' liability insurance then in effect to cover those persons who are
covered on the date of this Agreement by the Company's directors' and officers'

arising out of such individuals' services as officers, directors, employees or
agents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, occurring prior to the

proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter, including without
limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, occurring prior
to, and including, the Effective Time, Parent, from and after the date of
purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, will pay as incurred such Indemnified
Party's reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith.  Subject to
Section 5.12(c), Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing this Section
5.12 or any action involving an Indemnified Party resulting from the

5.12(b), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, shall promptly notify Parent thereof.  In the event of any such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or
after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving  Corporation shall have
the right, from and after the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, to
assume the defense thereof and Parent shall not be liable to such Indemnified
Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the
defense thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of
any such matter and (iii) Parent shall not be liable for any settlement
effected without its prior written consent; and provided further that Parent
shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a
court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such
determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such
Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable
law.

agreements contained in this Agreement;

fiduciary duties; provided, however, the Company may not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) unless (i) the Company has notified
Parent and the Purchaser in writing promptly after receipt of any Acquisition
Proposal and following such notification by the Company, the Company has fully
cooperated with Parent, including, without limitation, informing Parent of the
terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (and any modification
thereto), and the identity of the Person making such Proposal, with the intent
of enabling the parties hereto to agree to a modification of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may
be effected, and (ii) prior to such termination, Parent has received the amount
set forth in Section 8.1(b) by wire transfer in same day funds; and

the representations and warranties of Parent or  the Purchaser contained in
this Agreement were untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or
have since become, and at the time of termination remain, incorrect in any
material respect, or (ii) Parent or the Purchaser shall have breached or failed

under this Agreement, including, without limitation, their obligation to
commence the Offer within the time period required by Section 1.1(a) of this
Agreement.

Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be
given to the other party or parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to
which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null
and void, and there shall be no liability on the part of the Parent or the
Company except (a) for fraud or for material breach of this Agreement and (b)
as set forth in this Section 7.2 and Section 8.1.

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

<PAGE>   47
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and
expenses.

  (b)  If this Agreement is terminated by Parent in accordance with Section

respective Boards of Directors (which in the case of the Company shall include
approvals as contemplated in Section 1.3(b)), at any time prior to the Closing
Date with respect to any of the terms contained herein; provided, however, that
after the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, no
such amendment, modification or supplement shall reduce or change the Merger
Consideration.

warranties of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Purchaser, on
the other hand, contained herein or in any certificates or other documents

affected by any investigation made by any party.  Each and every such

  8.6  SEVERABILITY.  Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any
provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law but if any provision or portion of any

such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision
had never been contained herein.

  8.7  SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.  Each of the parties hereto recognizes and
acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement will cause the other party to sustain damages for which it would
not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each of the
parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the aggrieved party
shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and
agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other
remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

  8.8  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All rights, powers and remedies provided under
this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity
shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any thereof by any
party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such
right, power or remedy by such party.

  8.9  NO WAIVER.  The failure of any party hereto to exercise any right, power
or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect
hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other party
hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by
such party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or
to demand such compliance.

  8.10  NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  This Agreement is not intended to be for
the benefit of, and shall not be enforceable by, any person or entity who or
which is not a party hereto.

  8.11  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof.

  8.12  DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS.  The descriptive headings used herein are

              Re:  Duplex Products, Inc.

Dear Sir or Madam:

     Tweedy, Browne Company L.P. ("TBC") is registered as an investment adviser
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as such, has investment
discretion and/or voting discretion over 671,758 shares of Common Stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock") of Duplex Products, Inc. (the
"Company"). Such shares (the "TBC Shares") are beneficially owned by various
client accounts, and TBC has investment discretion with respect to all of the
TBC Shares and has voting authority with respect to 581,701 TBC Shares.

     In addition, two affiliated investment partnerships, Vanderbilt Partners,
L.P. ("Vanderbilt") and TBK Partners, L.P. ("TBK") own shares of Common Stock.
Each of the general partners of each of Vanderbilt and TBK (three of whom are
also general partners of TBC) have investment and voting discretion with
respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by Vanderbilt and TBK. Vanderbilt
beneficially owns directly 12,300 shares of Common Stock (the "Vanderbilt
Shares") and TBK beneficially owns directly 20,000 shares of Common Stock (the
"TBK Shares").

     It is the current intention of each of TBC, TBK and Vanderbilt to tender
the TBC Shares, the TBK Shares and the Vanderbilt Shares, respectively, for $12
per share in the merger transaction described in our discussion with the
Company held on April 18, 1996. We believe that an all cash bid of $12 per
share is an attractive price for the Company's Common Stock in the current
environment, and we intend to support the proposed merger. However, we reserve
the right to accept a higher bid offered at any time by other parties, or to
sell Shares in the open market.

Mr. Daniel Dittman
The Reynolds and Reynolds Co.

Moraine, Ohio 45439

RE: Confidentiality Agreement

Dear Dan:

In connection with our discussions regarding a proposed business transaction
involving Reynolds & Reynolds Co. ("Reynolds") and Duplex Products Inc. ("the
Company"), Reynolds has requested the opportunity to review documents, records,
and other information that the Company views as confidential or proprietary
(collectively, "Confidential Information"). While we understand your desire to
review and examine such Confidential Information, and have no general objection
to providing it under the circumstances, we believe it appropriate that the
Company obtain Reynolds' written agreement to maintain the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information before we make it available. I am sure you can
understand that the Company tries to exert every possible effort to minimize
the risk that any of our plans, trade secrets, or other information might be
disclosed or utilized in any improper fashion.

Accordingly, the balance of this letter contains an agreement on the part of
Reynolds to preserve the confidentiality of information provided to it or any
of its agents or designees.

Out of respect for the Federal Trade Commission's watchful eye over exchanges
of information among competitors, we are reluctant to provide you, at this
time, with information relating to current prices, current customers, current
or future costs from which price can be derived or marketing plans. Reynolds
hereby agrees that it will not use any Confidential Information for purposes
including planning, marketing, product development or pricing. The Confidential
Information is being provided to Reynolds to enable it to consider the
desirability, feasibility and timing of a potential business transaction with
the Company. However, such Confidential Information would



                                                                            1

                             Duplex Products Inc.

                           Sycamore, Illinois 60178
<PAGE>   2
not be provided if Reynolds did not sign this Confidentiality Agreement, and it
is being provided in reliance upon this Confidentiality Agreement.

This Agreement relates to all Confidential Information provided by the Company
to Reynolds about the Company, its business and its share of the industry,
including, but not limited to, information regarding the Company's business;
plans; financial results and statements; markets; projected activities and
results of operations; customers; materials requirements and sources; 
contracts; backlog; means; methods, and processes of manufacture and assembly;
trade secrets; customer lists and customer names and contacts; and stock
ownership and other financial information. Confidential Information shall also
specifically include any information relating to the fact that the Company and
Reynolds have entered into discussions about a possible business transaction.

Reynolds agrees that Confidential Information will be disclosed only to such of
its personnel, and to such of its outside experts and advisors, as (1)
reasonably need to know such information to advise Reynolds in connection with,
or to determine the value or desirability of entering into, a transaction of
the type under discussion with the Company, and (2) agree to be bound by the
provisions and restrictions regarding Confidential Information contained
herein. Reynolds will be, and will remain, fully responsible to the Company for
any use of Confidential Information by any person who receives it on Reynolds's
behalf, or to whom Reynolds or any such person discloses it, for any reason, in
all respects as though Reynolds had made such use of such information. Unless
later agreed to in writing to the contrary, Reynolds will disclose Confidential
Information only to its Executive officers, directors and acquisition and
finance staff. Reynolds's marketing and sales personnel shall be excluded from
access to any Confidential Information.

Furthermore, Reynolds agrees that all Confidential Information will be kept and
maintained confidential by Reynolds, will not be disclosed to any third person
(except as described in the preceding paragraph); will under no circumstances
(and without in any manner limiting the preceding clause) be disclosed to, or
utilized in connection with, any supplier, customer or competitor (present or
potential) of the Company's (including any such person now or hereafter
controlled by Reynolds) and will not in any way be used, or be permitted to be
used, in a manner detrimental to the business or prospects of the Company. If
and when discussions related to the proposed business relationship between
Reynolds and the Company should be terminated, the foregoing restrictions shall
nonetheless continue and remain in effect, and Reynolds shall return to the
Company all copies of Confidential Information then held by Reynolds, its
agents and advisors, or shall certify to the Company's satisfaction that all
such copies have been destroyed, and neither Reynolds nor any of its agents or
advisors will retain any of the Confidential Information in their possession or
control.

Without limiting the foregoing, Reynolds further agrees that none of the
Confidential Information or any other information provided by the Company to
Reynolds will be used by Reynolds, or disclosed to others for use, in
connection with purchasing, selling or trading in the Company's securities in
any manner that is in violation of legal or regulatory restrictions applicable
from time to time, and Reynolds acknowledges a duty not to purchase, sell or
trade in securities on the basis of any material



                                                                            2
<PAGE>   3
"inside" information that is not publicly known, and shall so instruct any
employees, agents or advisors utilized.

The foregoing limitations will not apply to any information disclosed by the
Company to Reynolds that would otherwise be within the definition of
Confidential Information (1) if such information is generally and readily
availabe to the public, or can be demonstrated to have been independently known
by Reynolds at the time of its disclosure to Reynolds, or (2) after the time,
if any, that such information becomes generally and readily available to the
public, or can be demonstrated to have been independently disclosed to
Reynolds, without any utilization of Confidential Information disclosed to
Reynolds hereunder, and without any breach by Reynolds (or by any of Reynolds'
personnel or advisors) of the obligations binding on Reynolds and reflected
herein; or (3) after the expiration of three (3) years from the date hereof.

The furnishing of Confidential Information hereunder shall not obligate either
party to enter into any further agreement or negotiation with the other or to
refrain from entering into an agreement or negotiation with any other party.
Assuming that you agree to the foregoing, please sign below and on the enclosed
copy of this letter and return one copy to me promptly, whereupon it shall
become a binding agreement between Reynolds and the Company.

Except as may be required by law, without the prior written consent of the
other party, neither party hereto nor their respective representatives will
disclose to any person either the fact that discussions or negotiations are
taking place concerning a possible transaction between the Company and Reynolds
or any other terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible
transaction, including the status thereof.

The Company does not make any representation or warranty with respect to the
accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information, or any other
information provided to Reynolds, including specifically any financial
projections or other forward looking information, except such representations
or warranties as may be set forth in an acquisition agreement executed by the
Company and Reynolds.

In the event Reynolds discloses, disseminates or releases any Confidential
Information, except as provided above, such disclosure, dissemination or
release will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and the Company may
demand prompt return of all Confidential Information previously provided. The
parties acknowledge that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement would
cause the Company to suffer irreparable damage that could not be adequately
remedied at law. Therefore, the Company shall have the right to seek specific
performance or other injunctive relief to enjoin any breach, in addition to its
other rights and remedies available at law. Our agreement shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of Illinois.

If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call.
Any requests for clarification or for additional information should be directed 
to the Company's Chief Financial

                                                                           3

Re:  Confidentiality Agreement

Dear Mark:

Thank you for your March 3, 1996 letter. The terms of that letter are
satisfactory to Reynolds subject to the following modifications:

1.  Given that we are only at an initial exploratory phase, we understand your
reasons for not providing at this time information relating to current prices,
current customers, current or future costs from which price can be derived or
marketing plans. As we have discussed, if the transaction proceeds to the due
diligence phase, that investigation will be based upon a mutually satisfactory
schedule and methodology. During that phase, we will need to obtain the
pricing, customer, cost and marketing information at a time which is
satisfactory to you and which will provide us a reasonable time to digest and
evaluate that information.

2.  Similarly, we understand your reason for wanting to exclude our sales and
marketing personnel from access to the Confidential Information at this time,
but, if we proceed to the due diligence phase as described, we will need to
share appropriate Confidential Information with certain of our with sales and
marketing personnel who are part of our acquisition team. We propose a solution
similar to that for the cost and pricing information (i.e., we will not provide
any Confidential Information to sales and marketing personnel who are part of
our due diligence team until you have consented to that disclosure; provided,
that you will give your consent at a time which will provide such sales and
marketing personnel a reasonable time to digest and evaluate the applicable
Confidential Information).

3.  We expect in the course of the discussions regarding the proposed
transaction that Reynolds will deliver documents, records and other information
that Reynolds views as confidential or proprietary. Accordingly, the agreement
should be deemed to be

<PAGE>   7
Mark A. Robinson, Esq.
Page 2
March 7, 1996

mutual in all respects, including reciprocal provisions in all respects with
regard to any such confidential or proprietary information and mirror-image
rights and obligations of Duplex to all rights and obligations of Reynolds
(including, without limitation, the prohibition on certain activities in
Reynolds' stock).

4.  Information which is disclosed orally would only be deemed "Confidential
Information" if that information is later embodied in a tangible means of
expression which is delivered to the receiving party.

5.  There should be an exception for compelled disclosure as follows:

    "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter, in the event that
    the party receiving any Confidential Information is requested or becomes
    compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
    documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to
    disclose any of the Confidential Information or take any other action
    prohibited by this letter, the receiving party will provide the disclosing
    party with prompt written notice so that the letter may seek a protective
    order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the
    provisions of this letter. In the event that such a protective order or
    other remedy is not obtained or that the disclosing party waives compliance
    with the provisions of this letter, the receiving party will furnish only
    that portion of the Confidential Information or take only such action which
    is legally required and will in good faith seek to obtain reasonable
    assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential
    Information so furnished."
        
6.  Finally, we had a few technical corrections:

    a.  Reynolds' correct legal name is "The Reynolds and Reynolds Company."

    b.  The second and third sentences of the third paragraph on page one
        should be reversed, and the words "any other" inserted after the word 
        "for" and before the word "purposes" in the former second sentence.

If the foregoing changes are acceptable, please execute this letter where
indicated below and return a copy to me by fax at (513) 290-7270. Upon receipt
of that fax, the March 3 letter, as amended in 






<PAGE>   8
Mark A. Robinson, Esq.
Page 3
March 7, 1996

the manner set forth in this letter, will thereby become a binding agreement of
Reynolds and Duplex. On the assumption that the changes will be acceptable, I
am also returning a copy of the March 3 letter executed on behalf of Reynolds.

Please call me (513-290-7270) if you have any questions. We look forward to
working with you.

                                  Very truly yours,

                    CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
                    ----------------------------------------


  The parties agree as follows:

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

  Consultant is currently employed by Duplex in the position of  President.

  Consultant and Duplex previously entered into the Severance Agreement which,
among other things, provided for certain compensation and severance benefits to
be paid to Consultant following a "change in control" of Duplex.

  Reynolds and Duplex have entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which
Reynolds will commence the Offer to purchase all of the Shares.

  It is the intention of Consultant and Reynolds that, on the Effective Date,
this Consulting Agreement shall become effective and supersede the Severance
Agreement and any other oral or written agreement, policy, plan, commitment or
other arrangement between Consultant and Duplex relating to employment or
severance.

  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in
Schedule 1.

1.   RESIGNATION, WAIVER AND TERMINATION.  Effective as of the Effective Date:
(a) Consultant resigns from any and all positions held with Duplex; (b)
Consultant releases Duplex from any and all claims, and waives any and all
rights, arising out of Consultant's employment and the termination of
Consultant's employment with Duplex; and (c)  Consultant agrees to terminate and
render null and void the Severance Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall
affect the vesting of any stock options held by Consultant.

2.   ENGAGEMENT.  Reynolds hereby retains Consultant for the Term to render
consulting and advisory services to Reynolds with respect to Duplex as Reynolds
may reasonably request from time to time.

3.   CONDITION PRECEDENT.  This Agreement is conditioned upon the occurrence of
the Effective Date and shall become effective simultaneously with the closing
contemplated by the definition of "Effective Date".

4.   DUTIES.  During the Term, Consultant shall provide information, advice and
consultation with respect to Duplex and its business and such other services as
reasonably requested by Reynolds and upon reasonable advance notice by 
Reynolds.  Consultant shall provide such services at such locations as 
Reynolds may reasonably request (Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will
not be provided any office space by Reynolds or Duplex).

5.   COMPENSATION.  As full and complete compensation for all services rendered
under this Agreement, Consultant shall receive the consideration described in
this Section 5.
 
     5.1  Unused Vacation.  Consultant shall be paid an amount equal to
Consultant's accrued but unused vacation as of the Effective Date (payable in a
lump sum on the Effective Date simultaneous with the closing contemplated by
the definition of that term).

     5.2  Fixed Consideration. Consultant shall be paid the sum of $637,000
payable as described in this Section 5.2. The First Installment shall be paid
on the Effective Date simultaneous with the closing contemplated by the
definition of that term. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.2, the Second
Installment shall be payable on the two (2)-month anniversary of the Effective
Date.

     5.3  Life Insurance. Consultant currently enjoys group term life insurance
provided by the Company in the amount of $750,000. Consultant shall procure
replacement term insurance in the same or a lesser amount and the Company shall
reimburse Consultant for the premiums actually paid by Consultant for such
replacement insurance for the one (1) year period ending on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that the maximum amount
payable by the Company under this Section shall be 120% of the premium cost to
Duplex of the current term life insurance.


<PAGE>   2

Consultant is responsible for the payment of all applicable federal, state and
local taxes arising out of the compensation provided for in this Agreement, and
Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless Reynolds, its successors and
assigns, from and against any and all taxes and any associated damage, loss,
cost or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of, or
related to, such taxes, except for any taxes and related costs that may result
from the negligence or misconduct of Reynolds.

6.   BUSINESS EXPENSES.  During the Term, Consultant will be reimbursed monthly
for reasonable business expenses incurred for the benefit of Reynolds in the
performance of this Agreement.  Consultant will account to Reynolds with enough
detail to entitle Reynolds to a federal income tax deduction for each of those
expenses, if deductible.

7.   COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE.

   7.1    COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.  Consultant covenants and agrees that
Consultant will not Directly or Indirectly Compete with Reynolds.

   7.2    AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE.  Consultant agrees to hold in strictest
confidence and not to use or disclose or make accessible to any person or
entity, without the prior written consent of an officer of Reynolds, any Duplex
Intellectual Property.  Additionally, Consultant agrees not to make any
disparaging remarks concerning Reynolds, Duplex, or the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement or to make any public statements
concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement without
Reynolds prior written consent.

   7.3    SEVERABILITY.  If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
any provision of this Section 7 is invalid or unenforceable, that determination
will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement.  The invalid or
unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum degree necessary to
make the affected provision valid and enforceable, and this Agreement will then
be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

   7.4    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.  Consultant acknowledges that a breach of any
provision of this Section 7 cannot be compensated adequately by damages in an
action at law, and that a breach would cause Reynolds irreparable harm.
Consultant agrees that Reynolds will be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive and other equitable relief, provided that those equitable remedies
will be in addition to and not instead of other remedies available at law or in
equity to Reynolds as a result of a breach of this Section 7.   Consultant
agrees that the duration, scope and subject matter of this Section  are
reasonable in light of all of the facts and circumstances.  To the extent
permitted by law, Consultant waives any defenses or 

                                      2
<PAGE>   3
objections related to the reasonableness of the duration, geographical scope
and subject matter of this Section 7.  In no event shall the total of any and
all monetary damages recoverable from Consultant pursuant to this Agreement or
any breach thereof exceed the total amount paid to Consultant hereunder.

8.   OWNERSHIP.  Consultant understands that the Duplex Intellectual Property
is owned solely by Duplex (or third parties), and that Consultant may use
Duplex Intellectual Property only for the benefit of Reynolds or Duplex as
directed by an officer of Reynolds.

9.   RELATIONSHIP.  Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall not be deemed
to be an employee of Reynolds.  Consultant shall at all times be an independent
contractor and not a partner or joint venturer of Reynolds.

10.    TERMINATION AND CONSEQUENCES .

   10.1   CAUSES OF TERMINATION.  The Term may be terminated by the parties as
      follows:

       (a)    by Consultant upon five (5) days' prior written notice;

       (b)    by Consultant immediately upon written notice if Reynolds commits
a material breach of this Agreement and the breach is not cured within ten (10)

                                    --------

  Consultant is currently employed by Duplex in the position of  Vice President
of Finance and Chief Financial Officer.

  Consultant and Duplex previously entered into the Severance Agreement.

  Reynolds and Duplex have entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which
Reynolds will commence the Offer to purchase all of the Shares which, among
other things, provided for certain compensation and severance benefits to be
paid to Consultant following a "change in control" of Duplex.

  It is the intention of Consultant and Reynolds, that on the Effective Date
this Consulting Agreement shall become effective and supersede the Severance
Agreement and any other oral or written agreement, policy, plan, commitment or
other arrangement between Consultant and Duplex relating to employment or
severance.

  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in
Schedule 1.

1.   RESIGNATION, WAIVER AND TERMINATION.  Effective as of the Effective Date:
(a) Consultant resigns from any and all positions held with Duplex; (b) 
Consultant releases Duplex from any and all claims, and waives any and all
rights, arising out of Consultant's employment and the termination of
Consultant's employment with Duplex; and (c)  Consultant agrees to terminate
and render null and void the Severance Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect the vesting of any stock options held by Consultant.

2.   ENGAGEMENT.  Reynolds hereby retains Consultant for the Term to render
consulting and advisory services to Reynolds with respect to Duplex as Reynolds
may request from time to time.

3.   CONDITION PRECEDENT.  This Agreement is conditioned upon the occurrence of
the Effective Date and shall become effective simultaneously with the closing
contemplated by the definition of "Effective Date".

4.   DUTIES.  During the Term, Consultant shall provide information, advice and
consultation with respect to Duplex and its business and such other services 
as reasonably requested by Reynolds and upon reasonable advance notice by
Reynolds.  Consultant shall  provide such services at such locations as
Reynolds may reasonably request. (Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will
not be provided any office space by Reynolds or Duplex).

5.   COMPENSATION.  As full and complete compensation for all services rendered
under this Agreement, Consultant shall receive the consideration described in
this Section 5.

     5.1 UNUSED VACATION.  Consultant shall be paid an amount equal to
Consultant's accrued but unused vacation as of the Effective Date (payable in a
lump sum on the Effective Date simultaneous with the closing contemplated by
the definition of that term).

payable as described in this Section 5.2. The  First Installment shall be paid

Installment shall be payable on 

<PAGE>   2

responsible for the payment of all applicable federal, state and local taxes
arising out of the compensation provided for in this Agreement, and Consultant
shall indemnify and hold harmless Reynolds, its successors and assigns, from and
against any and all taxes and any associated damage, loss, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of, or related to, such
taxes, except for any taxes that may result from the negligence or misconduct
of Reynolds.

6.   BUSINESS EXPENSES; COBRA REIMBURSEMENT.

   6.1    BUSINESS EXPENSES.   During the Term, Consultant will be reimbursed
monthly for reasonable business expenses incurred for the benefit of Reynolds
in the performance of this Agreement.  Consultant will account to Reynolds with
enough detail to entitle Reynolds to a federal income tax deduction for each of
those expenses, if deductible.

   6.2    COBRA REIMBURSEMENT. To the extent permitted under the applicable
plans and applicable law, Consultant will continue to participate in the group
life, health and dental insurance plans maintained by Duplex, at the cost of
Duplex (Consultant shall be responsible for all deductibles, co-payments and the
like), for a period of one (1) year after the Effective Date, and, thereafter,
Consultant may elect continuation coverage under the applicable plans pursuant
to COBRA at Consultant's cost and to the extent permitted under applicable law.
However, if for any reason Consultant is not permitted to so participate in
those plans for the one year period following the Effective Date, then: (a)
non-COBRA plans - Reynolds will pay to Consultant on a monthly basis an amount
equal to the amount of the premiums that would have been paid by Duplex on
Consultant's behalf had Consultant participated in such plans during such
period; and (b) COBRA plans - Consultant will elect continuation coverage under
COBRA and Reynolds agrees that for the shorter of (i) one (1) year from the
Effective Date, or (ii) the period that Consultant is entitled to continuation
coverage under COBRA, Reynolds will reimburse Consultant for the premiums paid
by Consultant to maintain such continuation coverage.

7.   COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE.

   7.1    COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE.  Consultant covenants and agrees that for
the six (6)-month period following the Effective Date, Consultant will not 
Directly or Indirectly Compete with Reynolds.

   7.2    AGREEMENT NOT TO DISCLOSE.  Consultant agrees to hold in strictest
confidence and not to use or disclose or make accessible to any person or
entity, without the prior written consent of an officer of Reynolds, any
Reynolds Intellectual Property. Additionally, Consultant agrees not to make any
disparaging remarks concerning Reynolds, Duplex, or the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement or to make any public statements
concerning the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement without
Reynolds prior written consent.

   7.3    SEVERABILITY.  If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
any provision of this Section 7 is invalid or unenforceable, that determination
will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement.  The invalid or
unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum degree necessary to
make the affected provision valid and enforceable, and this Agreement will then
be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

   7.4    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.  Consultant acknowledges that a breach of any
provision of this Section 7 cannot be compensated adequately by damages in an
action at law, and that a breach would cause Reynolds irreparable harm.
Consultant agrees that Reynolds will be 

                                      2
<PAGE>   3
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief,
provided that those equitable remedies will be in addition to and not instead
of other remedies available at law or in equity to Reynolds as a result of a
breach of this Section 7.  Consultant agrees that the duration, scope and
subject matter of this Section  are reasonable in light of all of the facts and
circumstances.  To the extent permitted by law, Consultant waives any defenses
or objections related to the reasonableness of the duration, geographical scope
and subject matter of this Section 7. In no event shall the total of any and
all monetary damages recoverable from Consultant pursuant to this Agreement or
any breach thereof exceed the total amount paid to Consultant hereunder.

8.   OWNERSHIP.  Consultant understands that the Duplex Intellectual Property
is owned solely by Duplex (or third parties), and that Consultant may use
Duplex Intellectual Property only for the benefit of Reynolds or Duplex as
directed by an officer of Reynolds.

9.   RELATIONSHIP.  Consultant acknowledges that Consultant shall not be deemed
to be an employee of Reynolds.  Consultant shall at all times be an independent
contractor and not a partner or joint venturer of Reynolds.

10.    TERMINATION AND CONSEQUENCES .

thereto).

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in
Schedule 1.

  Employee is currently employed as the Vice President, Operations of the 
Company.

  Employee and the Company previously entered into the Prior Agreement which,
among other things, provided for certain compensation and severance benefits to
be paid to Employee following a "change of control" of the Company.

  Reynolds and the Company desire that the Company employ Employee following
the Closing on the terms of this Agreement and that the Prior Agreement be
rendered null and void by this Agreement and Employee desires to be so employed
and to so terminate the Prior Agreement.

1.   CONDITION PRECEDENT.  This Agreement is conditioned upon and shall become
effective simultaneously with the Closing.

2.   TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENT. Employee and the Company hereby agree to
terminate and render null and void the Prior Agreement simultaneously with the
Closing.

3.   EMPLOYMENT AND TERM.  The Company agrees to employ Employee for the Term
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

4.   DUTIES.  During the Term, Employee will serve in the capacity described in
Schedule 2 and perform the duties described in Schedule 2.  Employee will
devote all of Employee's working time, attention and efforts to the business
affairs and best interests of the Company and Reynolds.

5.   COMPENSATION.  The compensation of Employee during the Term will be as
described in Schedule 2.  All such amounts are subject to all applicable
withholdings by the Company.  Salary payments shall begin on the next regular
payment date after the Closing.

6.   BUSINESS EXPENSES.  During the Term, Employee will be reimbursed for
reasonable business expenses incurred for the benefit of the Company under the
Company's usual practices for similarly situated employees of the Company.
Employee will account to the Company with enough detail to entitle the Company
to a 


<PAGE>   2
federal income tax deduction for each of those expenses, if deductible.

7.   BENEFITS.  In addition to the compensation described in Section 5 and
reimbursement of business expenses under Section 6, during the Term Employee
will be entitled to the benefits then-currently available to other similarly

entity, without the prior written consent of an officer of Reynolds, any
Company Intellectual Property. Additionally, Employee agrees not to make any
disparaging remarks concerning Reynolds, the Company, or the transactions
contemplated by the Offer or to make any public statements concerning the
transactions contemplated by the Offer without Reynolds' prior written consent.

   8.3    SEVERABILITY.  If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
any provision of this Section is invalid or unenforceable, that determination
will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement.  The invalid or
unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum degree necessary to
make the affected provision valid and enforceable, and this Agreement will then
be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

   8.4    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.  Employee acknowledges that a breach of any
provision of this Section  cannot be compensated adequately by damages in an
action at law, and that a breach would cause  the Company irreparable harm.
Employee agrees that the Company will be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive and other equitable relief, provided that those equitable remedies
will be in addition to and not instead of other remedies available at law or in
equity to the Company as a result of a breach of this Section.  Employee agrees
that the duration, scope and subject matter of this Section 6 are reasonable in
light of all of the facts and circumstances.  To the extent permitted by law,
Employee waives any defenses or objections related to the reasonableness of the
duration, geographical scope and subject matter of this Section.

9.   OWNERSHIP.  Employee understands that Company Intellectual Property is
owned solely by Company (or third parties) and that Employee may use Company
Intellectual Property only for the benefit of the Company as directed by an
officer of Reynolds.

custody or control, including any reproductions of those items.

   10.3   FURTHER DOCUMENTATION.  Employee will cooperate from time to time in
the transfer of the Company Inventions to the Company and will assist the
Company in prosecuting any applications, claims or rights of any kind involving

Term.

   10.4   ASSIGNMENT AND POWER OF ATTORNEY.

       (a)    If, under applicable law or judgment of a court of competent

Company all right, title and interest to those Company Inventions, including
copyrights.

Inventions and to give receipts and releases for and about Company Inventions;

intellectual property registration, to execute and file any applications and
documents and to do all other

<PAGE>   4

lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters
patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property registrations, or
transfers thereof with the same legal force and effect as if executed by

an interest and cannot be revoked by Employee for any reason.

       (b)    by Employee immediately upon written notice if either (i) the
Company commits a material breach of this Agreement and the breach is not cured
within 15 days after written notice from Employee, or (ii) in the event of a
Constructive Discharge;

       (c)    upon the death or disability of Employee (Employee will be deemed
disabled and Employee's employment terminated under this subsection (c) if
Employee is not able to perform Employee's required duties for a period of 30
consecutive days due to a disability and the Company reasonably determines that
it is unlikely that Employee will be able to return to full performance of
Employee's duties within 30 days after that);

       (d)    by the Company upon 15 days' prior written notice; or

       (e)    by the Company immediately upon written notice if Employee
commits a material breach of this Agreement and that breach is not cured within
15 days after written notice from the Company, or if Employee commits any act
involving willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud, material 
misrepresentation, material dishonesty, deliberate or attempted injury to the 
Company or Reynolds, or refusal to follow the reasonable direction of 
Employee's supervisor.

   11.2   CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION.  Upon termination under Section 11.1,
the Term will cease, and the parties' respective obligations under this
Agreement will cease, except:

       (a)    the Company will:

          (1)    remain liable to pay to Employee all amounts due or becoming
due and all benefits to be provided for the period up to the effective date of
termination under Sections 5, 6 and 7;

          (2)    if termination occurs under Section 11.1(b) or Section

inclusive.

(b)    Employee will continue to be subject to the provisions of Sections 8-14,

otherwise (including any severance policy then in effect) arising out of the
employment or termination of Employee and payment of such amounts shall be
conditioned upon  the execution by Employee of a binding and confidential
release of all claims against the Company and/or Reynolds reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and Reynolds.

be signed by an officer of Reynolds.

   13.6   WAIVER.  Failure of either party to exercise its rights under the
terms of this Agreement on any one occasion will not be construed as a waiver
of any requirement of this Agreement or a waiver of that party's right to take
advantage of any subsequent or continued breach by the other party of any
agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement.  Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, all remedies provided in this Agreement will be in
addition to and not in substitution for any remedies otherwise available to the
aggrieved party.

entitled to terminate this Agreement upon 15 days prior written notice to the

but prior to the 9-month anniversary of the Closing, the Company and Reynolds
shall propose to Employee in writing new terms of employment.  Employee shall
have a period of 30 days following receipt of the written proposal to accept

duration, geographical scope and subject matter of this Section.

owned solely by Company (or third parties) and that Employee may use Company
Intellectual Property only for the benefit of the Company as directed by an

agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement.  Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, all remedies provided in this Agreement will be in

                                    --------

  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in
Schedule 1.

  Employee is currently employed as the Vice President and General Counsel and
Secretary of the Company.

  Employee and the Company previously entered into the Prior Agreement which,
among other things, provided for certain compensation and severance benefits to
be paid to Employee following a "change of control" of the Company.

  Reynolds and the Company desire that the Company employ Employee following
the Closing on the terms of this Agreement and that the Prior Agreement be
rendered null and void by this Agreement and Employee desires to be so employed
and to so terminate the Prior Agreement.

1.   CONDITION PRECEDENT.  This Agreement is conditioned upon and shall become
effective simultaneously with the Closing.

2.   TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENT. Employee and the Company hereby agree to
terminate and render null and void the Prior Agreement.

withholdings by the Company.  Salary payments shall begin on the next regular
payment date after the Closing.

6.   BUSINESS EXPENSES.  During the Term, Employee will be reimbursed for
reasonable business expenses incurred for the benefit of the Company under the
Company's usual practices for similarly situated employees of the Company.
Employee will account to the Company with enough detail to entitle the Company

<PAGE>   2

federal income tax deduction for each of those expenses, if deductible.

7.   BENEFITS.  In addition to the compensation described in Section 5 and
reimbursement of business expenses under Section 6, during the Term Employee
will be entitled to the benefits then-currently available to other similarly
situated employees of the Company, as the same may change from time to time,
provided Employee meets the applicable terms and conditions of those benefits,

disparaging remarks concerning Reynolds, the Company, or the transactions
contemplated by the Offer or to make any public statements concerning the
transactions contemplated by the Offer without Reynolds' prior written consent.

   8.2    SEVERABILITY.  If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that
any provision of this Section is invalid or unenforceable, that determination
will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement.  The invalid or
unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum degree necessary to
make the affected provision valid and enforceable, and this Agreement will then
be enforced to the fullest extent possible.

   8.3    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.  Employee acknowledges that a breach of any
provision of this Section  cannot be compensated adequately by damages in an
action at law, and that a breach would cause  the Company irreparable harm. 
Employee agrees that the Company will be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive and other equitable relief, provided that those equitable remedies
will be in addition to and not instead of other remedies available at law or in
equity to the Company as a result of a breach of this Section.  Employee agrees
that the duration, scope and subject matter of this Section are reasonable in
light of all of the facts and circumstances. To the extent permitted by law,
Employee waives any defenses or objections related to the reasonableness of the
duration  and subject matter of this Section.

9.   OWNERSHIP.  Employee understands that Company Intellectual Property is
owned solely by Company (or third parties) and that Employee may use Company
Intellectual Property only for the benefit of the Company as directed by an
officer of Reynolds.

agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement.  Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, all remedies provided in this Agreement will be in
