   Compensation of Directors.  Each director who is not an officer
   -------------------------
of the Company received an annual retainer of $20,000 in 1997 and
a fee of $1,000 for each attended meeting of the Board of
Directors. Chairmen of committees of the Board of Directors
received an annual retainer of $1,500 in 1997. Directors also
received a fee for each attended meeting of a committee of the
Board of Directors of $1,000 ($500 in the case of committee
meetings occurring immediately before or after meetings of the full
Board of Directors). In addition, during 1997 Messrs. Dangremond,
Page and Senkpiel each received a fee of $20,000 for serving on a
special committee of the board of directors. Directors who are
officers of the Company do not receive compensation in their
capacity as directors. Pursuant to Envirodyne Industries, Inc. 1993
Stock Option Plan, as amended, on the date of the 1997 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, non-employee directors were granted a
stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at an option
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock
on the date of grant. Pursuant to the Non-Employee Directors'
Compensation Plan, non-employee directors may elect to receive
their director fees in the form of shares of Common Stock. The
number of shares received is based on the average of the closing
bid and asked price of the Common Stock on the business day
preceding the date the Common Stock is issued. All of the non-
employee directors have elected to receive their director fees in
the form of shares of Common Stock.

     Employment Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangement. On
     -------------------------------------------------------
March 27, 1996, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement
with Mr. F. Edward Gustafson. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement,
Mr. Gustafson agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Company agreed
to use its best efforts to cause Mr. Gustafson to be elected as a
director of the Company, during the term of the Agreement. The
initial term of the Employment Agreement is three (3) years,
provided, however, that on March 26, 1997 and each subsequent
anniversary thereof, the term of the Employment Agreement will be
automatically extended for a period of one (1) year unless the
Company or Mr. Gustafson gives written notice to the other at least
thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date that the term shall
not be so extended.

     Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Gustafson will receive an
initial annual base salary of at least $450,000 and $30,000 per
year in lieu of a Company-provided automobile. Mr. Gustafson's base
salary will be increased by the Compensation and Nominating
Committee of the Board of Directors each year in a manner
consistent with increases in base salary for other senior officers
of the Company. In addition, the Employment Agreement provides that
with respect to the fiscal year ended December 25, 1997, Mr.
Gustafson would be eligible to receive a bonus based on a
percentage of his base salary depending on the Company's
performance based on earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). Because the Company did
not achieve the minimum goal for EBITDA, Mr. Gustafson did not
receive a bonus for fiscal year 1997. Mr. Gustafson will be
eligible to receive an annual bonus for future fiscal years of the
Company based on such financial performance or other performance-
related criteria as established by the Compensation and Nominating
Committee, after consultation with Mr. Gustafson. Mr. Gustafson is
also entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans in
effect for, and to receive other fringe benefits provided to, other
executive officers.

     Pursuant to and upon execution of the Employment Agreement,
Mr. Gustafson was granted two (2) stock options, each to purchase
35,000 shares of Common Stock. One (1) stock option becomes
exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-third commencing
on the first anniversary of the date of grant. The other stock
option becomes exercisable in cumulative annual increments of one-
third commencing on the second anniversary of the date of grant. In
addition, Mr. Gustafson was granted a stock option to purchase up
to 75,000 shares of Common Stock depending on the financial
performance of the Company based on EBITDA for fiscal year 1996.
The Company did not achieve the minimum goal for EBITDA. Therefore,
no portion of this stock option became exercisable or will become
exercisable in the future. Lastly, Mr. Gustafson was granted 35,000
restricted shares of Common Stock which may not be transferred, and
are subject to forfeiture, until March 27, 1999.

     If Mr. Gustafson's employment is terminated by the Company for
Cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement, or by Mr. Gustafson
other than for Good Reason or Disability, as defined in the
Employment Agreement, Mr. Gustafson will be paid all Accrued
Compensation, as defined in the Employment Agreement, through the
date of termination of employment. If Mr. Gustafson's employment
with the Company is terminated by the Company for any reason other
than for Cause, death or Disability, or by Mr. Gustafson for Good
Reason, (i) Mr. Gustafson will be paid all Accrued Compensation
plus 200% of his base salary and the prorated amount of annual
bonus that would have been payable to Mr. Gustafson with respect to
the fiscal year in which Mr. Gustafson's employment is terminated,
provided that the performance targets have been actually achieved
as of the date of termination (unless such termination of
employment follows a Change in Control, as defined in the
Agreement, in which case Mr. Gustafson will receive a bonus equal
to 50% of his base salary regardless of the Company's performance),
(ii) Mr. Gustafson will continue to receive life insurance,
medical, dental and hospitalization benefits for a period of
twenty-four (24) months following termination of employment, and
(iii) all outstanding stock options and restricted shares of Common
Stock will become immediately exercisable, vested and
nonforfeitable.

     Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Gustafson is
generally prohibited during the term of the Agreement, and for a
period of two (2) years thereafter, from competing with the
Company, soliciting any customer of the Company or inducing or
attempting to persuade any employee of the Company to terminate his
or her employment with the Company in order to enter into
competitive employment. For purposes of the Employment Agreement,
the Company includes Envirodyne Industries, Inc. and any of its
subsidiaries over which Mr. Gustafson exercised, directly or
indirectly, any supervisory, management, fiscal or operating
control during the term of the Employment Agreement.

     In May 1996, the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the
Board of Directors approved the Envirodyne Industries, Inc.
Severance Pay Policy (the "Policy") which covers all permanent,
full-time, salaried executives and administrative personnel
employed by the Company at its corporate office, including Mr.
Gordon S. Donovan and Mr. Stephen M. Schuster. Mr. Donovan and Mr.
Schuster are eligible for severance benefits as set forth in the
Policy upon the occurrence of one of the following events (an
"Event"): (i) involuntary separation of employment from the Company
for any reason other than death, disability or willful misconduct,
(ii) voluntary separation of employment from the Company (a)
following a reduction in base compensation or incentive bonus
opportunity from that in effect on the day immediately before the
effective date of a Change in Control, as defined in the Policy, or
office consolidation or elimination, or (b) following a reduction
in the person's principal responsibilities from those in effect on
the day immediately before the effective date of a Change in
Control, as defined in the Policy, or office consolidation or
elimination. Upon the occurrence of an Event and subject to the
Company obtaining a general release, Mr. Donovan and Mr. Schuster
would receive severance pay equal to the equivalent to twenty-four
(24) months' salary (at the highest annual rate in effect during
the three-year period prior to separation of employment) plus a
target bonus under the Management Incentive Plan in effect at the
time of separation. In addition, Mr. Donovan and Mr. Schuster would
continue to receive medical, life and dental insurance benefits in
effect at the time of separation of employment for a period of time
following such separation depending on form of payment of the
severance pay elected (e.g., lump sum or installment) and whether
he is covered by another employer's plan. The Policy may be amended
or terminated at any time by the Company except that in the event
that a Change in Control or elimination or consolidation of all or
part of the corporate office occurs during the term of the Policy,
the Policy will be automatically extended for a period of twenty-
four (24) months following the effective date of the Change in
Control or office consolidation or elimination.
