Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
- ------------------------------------------------------------

          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and any persons who own
more than 10% of any class of the Company's equity securities which are
registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), to file certain reports relating to their ownership of such securities
and changes in such ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to
furnish the Company with copies of such reports. To the Company's knowledge,
based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company,
all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such officers, directors and
owners of over 10% of the Company's equity securities registered under the 1934
Act, during its last fiscal year, have been complied with except that Fred
Maglione (a former Vice President of the Company), James H. Moore (a current
Vice President of the Company) and John P. Warnick (a current Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company) were each inadvertently late in filing a
report upon becoming an executive officer.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees of the Board
- --------------------------------------------------------------

          During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the Board of Directors
of the Company held 13 meetings. All of the directors attended at least 75% of
the aggregate number of meetings of the Board.

          The Company established an audit committee and a compensation
committee on December 21, 1995. Accordingly, no meetings of those committees
were held during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and the duties normally
performed by such committees were assumed by the entire Board of Directors.

Remuneration of Non-Employee Directors
- --------------------------------------

          Effective January 1, 1996, the Company commenced paying non-employee
Directors fees equal to $1,000 per meeting attended in person, and $500 per
meeting attended by telephone.

          In addition, upon the initial election and upon each re-election of an
outside Director to serve a term as a Director of the Company, such Director is
entitled under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, to be granted an option to
purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock for each year of such term, with 5,000 of
such options to vest at the beginning of each year of such term provided that 
the Director continues to serve in such capacity at the time of the scheduled
vesting. No such options, however, have as yet been granted as there are an
insufficient number of options available under the Company's 1994 Stock Option
Plan.
