        (2)  Pursuant to a voting agreement among them, Paul Mendez, the

             Firecom Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
             ("Holdings"), and Holdings entered into a letter agreement (the
             "December 1992 Letter Agreement") with Peter S. Barotz and Orhan
             I. Sadik-Khan, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties
             agreed that (i) during such time as not less than 240 shares of
             the Issuer's Series A Preferred Stock (the "preferred Stock")
             continue to be held by Holdings, all shares of the Issuer's
             Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), held
             by Naomi Barotz, Nathan Barotz and Celia Barotz (the "Barotz

             persons elected by the holders of the Common Stock as follows:  
             Mr. Sadik-Khan (or his designee), Mr. Barotz (or his designee),
             Mr. Mendez and three persons designated by Mr. Mendez and that
             the director appointed by the holder(s) of the Preferred Stock
             will be a person designated by Mr. Mendez, (ii) the voting
             agreement summarized in the immediately preceding clause(i) shall
             terminate if, as of the end of any quarter (as reflected in the
             Issuer's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
             Commission), the Issuer has on hand $800,000 plus sufficient
             additional cash and/or cash equivalents to redeem sufficient
             shares of Preferred Stock so that fewer than 240 shares of
             Preferred Stock would continue to be outstanding and such
             redemption would not violate the terms of the Issuer's
             arrangements with its lenders, (iii) neither the Barotz Group nor
             the Sadik-Khan Group may transfer or otherwise dispose of any
             shares of Common Stock (except as expressly permitted by the
             December 1992 Agreement) without providing Mr. Mendez a right of
             first refusal to purchase such shares on the same terms and
             conditions, (iv) neither Mr. Mendez nor any partnership of which
             he is a general partner, may transfer or otherwise dispose of any
             shares of Common Stock (except as expressly permitted by the 1992
             Agreement) without providing the Barotz Group and the Sadik-Khan
             Group with a similar right of first refusal and (v) the December
             1992 Agreement may be terminated by any party thereto if the
             Issuer shall report, after December 21, 1992, losses from
             operations during each of two fiscal years.
