Employment Arrangements
- -----------------------
Agreements with Messrs. Frame, Calvert, Pearlman and Lawi
Effective as of January 1, 1991, the Company entered into employment
agreements with each of Messrs. Frame, Calvert, Pearlman and Lawi for service in
their respective capacities set forth in the listing of directors and executive
officers. During 1992, Mr. Pearlman passed the Chief Executive Officer title and
duties to Mr. Frame, and Mr. Calvert added the additional title and duties of
Chief Operating Officer to those he already held. The employment agreements were
not revised for these changes. Each agreement is for a term of five years,
renewable each year for an additional year unless either party to the agreement
gives notice to the contrary. In accordance with these agreements, Messrs.
Frame, Calvert, Pearlman and Lawi receive an annual base salary of $139,870,
$139,870, $121,182, and $58,823, respectively. Additionally, each of Messrs.
Frame and Calvert receive a 1% commission on the first $12,000,000 in revenues
for the year and 1/2% commission on revenues in excess thereof, plus an
additional 1/2% commission on revenues over $12,000,000 if at least 40% of the
Company's revenues are resale revenues, plus a bonus of 4% of the Company's
pre-tax profits (as defined therein). Each of Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi receive
an annual bonus of 5% and 2-1/2%, respectively, of the Company's pre-tax profits
(as defined).
Each of the agreements with Messrs. Frame and Calvert provide that if at
any time during the term of such agreement, (i) the employment agreements of
Messrs. Pearlman or Lawi are terminated by the Company prior to the stated term
thereof, or (ii) Messrs. Pearlman and Lawi resign from the Company's Board of
Directors prior to the expiration of the term of their employment agreements, or
(iii) the majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors is no
longer nominated and supported by a majority of Messrs. Frame, Calvert, Pearlman
and Lawi (each a "Change in Control"), the employee shall have the right to
terminate the agreement immediately and receive from the Company all
<PAGE>
compensation required to be paid during the unexpired term thereof as well as
the severance payment described below without any obligation to perform
consulting services as described below. The Company believes that the Change in
Control provisions in these agreements may tend to discourage attempts to
acquire a controlling interest in the Company and may also tend to make the
removal of management more difficult.
Each agreement provides that if it is not renewed, the Company will pay the
employee for two additional years' compensation including his then current base
salary plus the average of all commissions and bonuses paid to the employee for
the then prior three years. The severance payments are contingent upon the
employee remaining available to perform consulting services for the benefit of
the Company.
Each agreement provides for certain noncompetition and nondisclosure
covenants of the employee and for certain Company-paid fringe benefits such as
an automobile allowance, disability insurance and inclusion in pension, deferred
compensation, profit sharing, stock purchase, savings, hospitalization and other
benefit plans in effect from time to time.
Bonuses Based On Stock Performance
On July 21, 1992, when the stock price was $5.375, the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee and the entire Board of Directors approved payment of a
one-time $2,500,000 special shareholder value bonus to be divided among Messrs.
Frame and Calvert and three other key employees upon the event of the market
price of the Company's stock maintaining or exceeding $20.00 per share for at
least 90 consecutive days (the "Target Date") at any time before July 21, 1997.
The Target Date was achieved in June 1994. The bonus vests equally over the 12
quarters following the Target Date, contingent upon continued full-time
employment, except in the event of termination without cause, death or
disability in which case the balance of the bonus will be due and payable
immediately.
On January 27, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
shareholder value incentive bonus under which a cash bonus aggregating
$4,000,000 would be paid to all salaried employees if the market price of the
Company's stock reaches $60 per share on or before April 30, 1998, and maintains
that price for at least 90 consecutive days. This bonus would be shared by all
salaried employees on a basis proportionate to their respective compensation
ranking in the Company, and it would vest and be paid out in escalating
quarterly installments over a three-year period, subject to continued employment
with the Company. This shareholder value incentive bonus was approved by Company
Shareholders at the 1995 annual meeting. As of April 15, 1996, the market price
of the Company's common stock was $27.375 per share.
Directors Compensation
Outside directors receive an annual fee of $20,000 for serving on the board
and are reimbursed for out of pocket expenses for meeting attendance. Directors
who are also employees receive no separate compensation for their services as
directors.
Nonemployee directors also participate in the Non-Employee Directors' Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan"), which was approved by Company Shareholders at the 1994
annual meeting. Under the terms of the Plan, each non-employee director receives
on the date of each annual meeting during the term of the Plan an option to
purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition, each
non-employee director who is elected or appointed to the Board of Directors for
the first time is granted on the date of such election or appointment an option
to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the
Plan become exercisable one year after the date of grant. All options expire at
the earlier of five years after the date of grant, twelve months after the
optionee ceases to serve as a director due to death, disability, or retirement
at or after age 65, or sixty days after the optionee otherwise ceases to serve
as a director of the Company. If a director ceases to serve as such for any
reason other than death, disability, or retirement at or after age 65, the
<PAGE>
option may be exercised only if it was exercisable at the date of such cessation
of service. During 1995, William Lerner and John E. Stieglitz were granted 1,000
options each, at an exercise price of $30.00, and William L. Lurie was granted
5,000 options at an exercise price of $25.00.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Company's Compensation and Stock Option Committee is composed of
William Lerner and John E. Stieglitz. In 1995, John Stieglitz invested as a
general partner in a partnership for which the Company's subsidiary DDD Energy,
Inc. acts as managing partner. See Item 13, Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
- -------------------------------------------------------
On July 21, 1992, the Company granted ten year loans at an interest rate of
4% to most of its employees for purchases of the Company's common stock at the
then market price of $5.375 per share. The Company recorded compensation expense
of $56,000 related to these loans in 1995. Payments of 5% of the original
principal balance plus accrued interest are due annually on August 1, with a
balloon payment of the remaining principal and accrued interest due August 1,
2002. The stock certificates are held by the Company as collateral until payment
is received. Loans in excess of $60,000 were made to Messrs. Frame and Calvert
and Ms. Valice, amounting to $537,500, $537,500 and $134,375, respectively. The
largest aggregate amounts of principal and interest outstanding on such loans
during 1995 were approximately $502,000, $502,000 and $126,000, respectively. As
of April 15, 1996, the aggregate amounts of principal and interest outstanding
on such loans were approximately $469,000, $469,000 and $117,000, respectively.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary DDD Energy, Inc. ("DDD Energy"),
which acquires and develops non-operating interests in mineral properties, acts
as managing partner of a general partnership (the "1995 Partnership"). The 1995
Partnership was formed to permit officers, directors and employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries, and members of their immediate families, who are
accredited investors to invest in mineral interests as general partners
("Contributing General Partners") in the 1995 Partnership. The 1995 Partnership
is a blind pool which invested partnership funds throughout the year in mineral
interests. Pursuant to the partnership agreement governing the 1995 Partnership,
DDD Energy agreed to use its reasonable efforts to allow the 1995 Partnership to
invest, along with DDD Energy, in all non-operating mineral interests in which
DDD Energy invested during 1995, and the 1995 Partnership was obligated to
invest in all interests in which DDD Energy invested (to the extent allowed by
the sellers of such interests) until funds of the 1995 Partnership allocated to
acquisitions were exhausted. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the amount
of the investment of the 1995 Partnership equals five percent of the total
investment in each such mineral interest made by the 1995 Partnership and DDD
Energy. DDD Energy determines the amount that it desires to invest in a
particular mineral interest, and then adds the amount to be invested by the 1995
Partnership to determine the total level of investment by DDD Energy and the
1995 Partnership. Therefore, DDD Energy does not forego any opportunity to
invest in transactions by allowing the 1995 Partnership to invest with DDD
Energy. All sums required for the 1995 Partnership to acquire such interests and
pay costs related to such interests thereafter are provided by the Contributing
<PAGE>
General Partners, and no funds for the 1995 Partnership's investments are
provided by DDD Energy or the Company. During 1995, the Contributing General
Partners contributed an aggregate of $866,500 to the 1995 Partnership. Paul A.
Frame, Horace A. Calvert, Herbert M. Pearlman, David S. Lawi, Debra D. Valice,
Jesse R. Marion, John E. Stieglitz, Julia L. Pearlman (child of Herbert
Pearlman), Lee R. Pearlman (child of Herbert Pearlman), Lawrence Marolda (child

1.2%, 1.2%, 1.2% an 1.2% general partnership interests, respectively, in the
1995 Partnership.
DDD Energy acts a managing partner of a similar partnership relating to the
non-operating mineral interest in which it will invest in 1996 (the "1996
Partnership"). The amount of the investment of the 1996 Partnership will equal
three percent of the total investment in each such mineral interest made by the
1996 Partnership and DDD Energy. Officers, directors and employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries, and members of their immediate families, have
contributed $702,000 to the 1996 Partnership. Paul A. Frame, Horace A. Calvert,
Herbert M. Pearlman, David S. Lawi, Debra D. Valice, William L. Lurie, Sheryl
Pearlman (wife of Herbert Pearlman), Julia L. Pearlman, Lee R. Pearlman,

11.4%, 10.7%, 7.1%, 3.6%, 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.4%, 1.4% and 1.4% general partnership
interests, respectively, in the 1996 Partnership.
