ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement,  dated as of April 10, 1998, by and
among the  Company,  Spectrum  and  certain  other  signatories  (the  "Purchase
Agreement"),  Spectrum purchased the Preferred Stock and the Warrant (as defined
below).  In connection with the Purchase  Agreement,  the Filing Persons entered
into a Voting  Agreement,  dated as of April 10, 1998 (the "Voting  Agreement"),
pursuant to which  Fabbricatore,  Fabbricatore  Limited  Partnership and Trustee
agreed  for the  duration  of the  Voting  Agreement  to vote all of the  voting
securities  of the Company  owned or controlled by them to elect as directors of
the Company up to two  persons  nominated  for such  director  positions  by the
holders of the  majority  of the  outstanding  shares of the Series A  Preferred
Stock (as such term is defined in the Voting  Agreement).  The initial  director
designees are Kevin J. Maroni and William P. Collatos.

All of the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by the Fabbricatore  Family
Partnership   and  the  Trustee  were   initially   acquired  by   Fabbricatore.
Fabbricatore  is the founder and a director of the  Company.  He acquired all of
his shares of the Company's Common Stock during the period beginning in October,
1980 and ending in January, 1995 through a combination of investments,  services
rendered and stock options granted by the Company.  The per share purchase price
for the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Fabbricatore  ranged from a
low of $.01 per  share  (in  October  1980) to a high of  $4.5375  (in  January,
1995).1,133,239   shares  were  transferred  in  1996  by  Fabbricatore  to  the
Fabbricatore  Family  Partnership  for  limited   partnership   interests  of  a
substantially  equivalent value.  62,498 shares were transferred in 1992 to Rita
Fabbricatore,  Danielle Fabbricatore and Douglas Fabbricatore, with Fabbricatore
as Trustee.

On April  10,  1998,  Spectrum  Investors  entered  into a  Securities  Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase  Agreement")  with the Company.  Under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, Spectrum Investors purchased 657,555 shares of the Company's
Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred  Stock") which may be converted into shares
of the  Company's  Common  Stock on a  two-for-one  basis,  subject  to  certain
adjustments.  Assuming the Preferred  Stock were  converted into Common Stock on
April 10, 1998,  Spectrum  Investors would be the holder of 1,315,110  shares of
the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement,  Spectrum
Investors was also issued a Warrant  ("Warrant") to acquire up to 131,511 shares
of the  Company's  Common  Stock for a purchase  price of $9.00 per  share.  The
Warrant may be exercised  immediately and expires in April,  2003. The aggregate
purchase  price  paid by  Spectrum  Investors  for the  Preferred  Stock and the
Warrant was  $11,837,305.11.  The funds used for the  purchase of the  Preferred
Stock and the  Warrant  came from the  proceeds  of  investments  by the limited
partners in Spectum Investors.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

Pursuant  to  the  Purchase   Agreement,   Spectrum   Investors,   Fabbricatore,
Fabbricatore Family Partnership and the Trustee entered into a Voting Agreement,
dated as of April 10, 1998, pursuant to which Fabbricatore, Fabbricatore Limited
Partnership and Trustee agreed for the duration of the Voting  Agreement to vote
all of the voting securities of the Company owned or controlled by them to elect
as  directors  of the  Company up to two  persons  nominated  for such  director
positions by the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of the Series
A Preferred Stock (as such term is defined in the Voting Agreement). The initial
director  designees  are Kevin J.  Maroni and  William P.  Collatos.  The Filing
Persons  ability to influence the Company's  policies and management as a result
of the Voting  Agreement  may be deemed to  constitute  an intention to exercise
control.   Fabbricatore   individually  and  through  the  Fabbricatore   Family
Partnership  and as Trustee  already  exercises  control  over the  Company as a
result of his Common Stock ownership.

The Filing  Persons may purchase  additional  shares of Common Stock or may sell

shares of Common Stock by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

given to them in the Purchase Agreement referred to below.

                                    RECITALS:

     WHEREAS,  pursuant to the  Securities  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Purchase

dated as of the date hereof, Spectrum and certain other purchasers named therein
will purchase from the Company  666,666 shares of authorized but unissued Series

     WHEREAS,  the Stockholders own in the aggregate  2,715,974 shares of Common

     WHEREAS,  the  parties  believe  it is in each  of  their  respective  best
interest to provide for certain  rights and  obligations  with respect to voting
for certain directors;

     WHEREAS, Spectrum's willingness to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock is
conditioned upon the Stockholders entering into this Agreement and the execution
and delivery of this  Agreement  is a condition  precedent to the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement;

     NOW THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing,  the mutual  covenants
herein  contained  and  other  consideration,  the  adequacy  of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

            1.          VOTING AGREEMENT.

                        (a)  At  each   annual  or   special   meeting   of  the
            stockholders  of the Company  occurring on or after the date of this
            Agreement at which directors of the Company are to be elected, or by
            a consent in  writing  of such  stockholders  in lieu  thereof,  the
            Stockholders  entitled  to vote at such  meeting  agree  to vote (or
            consent in writing in lieu thereof) all of the voting  securities of
            the  Company  owned  or  controlled  by them  whether  now  owned or
            controlled or if ownership or control is hereafter acquired to elect
            as directors of the Company (i) two persons designated in writing by
            the  holders of a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares of Series A
            Preferred  Stock (the  "Requisite  Series A Holders") if at the time
            the  outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred  Stock and  Preferred
            Stock  Derivatives  represent  at least  seven  and  27/100  percent
            (7.27%) of the Company's Common Stock Deemed Outstanding or (ii) one
            person designated in writing by the Requisite Series A Holders if at
            the time the  outstanding  shares  of Series A  Preferred  Stock and
            Preferred  Stock  Derivatives  represent  at least  four and  55/100
            percent  (4.55%) and less than seven and 27/100  percent  (7.27%) of
            the Company's Common Stock Deemed  Outstanding;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,
            that at such time as the  outstanding  shares of Series A  Preferred
            Stock and Preferred Stock Derivatives  represent less than seven and
            27/100 percent (7/27%) but more than four and 55/100 percent (4.55%)
            of the Company's  Common Stock Deemed  Outstanding,  upon request by
            the Stockholders, Spectrum agrees to use reasonable efforts to cause
            one of the directors designated by the Requisite Series A Holders to
            resign effective  immediately;  and PROVIDED,  FURTHER, that at such
            time as the  outstanding  shares  of  Series A  Preferred  Stock and
            Preferred  Stock  Derivatives  represent  less than four and  55/100
            percent (4.55%),  upon request by the Stockholders,  Spectrum agrees
            to use  reasonable  efforts  to cause  one or both of the  directors
            designated  by the  Requisite  Series A Holders to resign  effective

                        (b) The initial nominees for directors designated by the

                        (c) The  Stockholders  agree  not to vote  to  remove  a
            director  designated  by the  Requisite  Series A Holders  unless so
            instructed by the Requisite Series A Holders,  and if so instructed,
            the Stockholders shall so vote; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that at such time
            as the outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred
            Stock  Derivatives  represent  less than  seven and  27/100  percent
            (7.27%)  but  more  than  four and  55/100  percent  (4.55%)  of the
            Company's Common Stock Deemed Outstanding, the Stockholders shall be
            entitled to vote for the removal of one of the directors  designated
            by the Requisite Series A Holders;  and PROVIDED,  FURTHER,  that at
            such time as the outstanding  shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
            Preferred  Stock  Derivatives  represent  less than four and  55/100
            percent (4.55%),  the Stockholders shall be entitled to vote for the
            removal of one or both of the directors  designated by the Requisite
            Series A Holders to resign effective immediately.

     2. TRANSFERS. The Stockholders agree that they will not transfer any of the
voting securities of the Company owned or controlled by them,  whether now owned
or controlled or if ownership or control is hereafter acquired,  to an Affiliate
of such  Stockholder,  except  pursuant to Rule 144 or a transaction  registered
under the Securities  Act,  unless the transferee of any such voting  securities
agrees to hold the  shares so  acquired  with all the rights  conferred  by, and
subject  to the  restrictions  imposed  by,  this  Agreement  and  agrees,  as a
condition of such  transfer,  to execute and deliver to Spectrum  and  agreement
