      agreement, Mr. Girsky is to receive deferred compensation which accrues at
      the rate of $50,000 per year, and becomes payable in a lump sum at the

      employment, with or without cause by the Company at any time after July 1,
      1993. In the event of a change in control resulting in termination of Mr.
      Girsky's employment, Mr. Girsky will receive between $450,000 and
      $600,000, depending on the date of termination.

- ----------

         (1) The options in the table were granted on November 8, 1995 under the
Company's 1993 Non-Qualified Plan and have exercise prices equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The options become
exercisable one year from the date of grant.

         (2) The potential realizable value assumes that the stock price
increases from the date of grant until the end of the option term (5 years) at
the annual rate of 5% and 10%. The assumed annual rates of appreciation are
computed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. No assurance can be given that the annual rates of
appreciation assumed for the purposes of the table will be achieved, and actual
results may be lower or higher.
