                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1:   Legal Proceedings
          -----------------

          Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-QSB for the period ended
March 29, 1997 for a description of the binding arbitration proceedings
involving Bruce K. Worrall. There have been no material developments in this
matter since the last report.

Item 2:   Change in Securities.
          -------------------- 

          During the quarter ended June 28, 1997, certain of the outstanding
warrants issued to Clifton Capital, Ltd. were exercised by their holders.  In
April such holders received 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for an
aggregate consideration of $300,000, payable in the form of a Promissory Note.
Based upon the limited nature of the warrant offering and exercise, and the
accredited status of the exercising holders, the Company relied upon Section
4(2) of the Securities Act as an exemption from registration.
 
Item 3:   Defaults on Senior Securities.
          ----------------------------- 

          Pursuant to terms of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, the
holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of that series of preferred
stock requested that a portion of such shares be redeemed on April 1, 1997.  The
Company determined not to redeem the 1,800 shares requested by the holder at the
stated value of $100 per share, or $180,000.  In addition, quarterly dividends
at a rate of 6% per annum of the stated value of all 9,000 shares, at $100 per
share,

<PAGE>
 
were payable on that same April 1, 1997 date, aggregating $13,500, which
the Company also declined to pay.  The Company's decision not to redeem these
shares nor pay these dividends was predicated upon the size of the damages being
asserted against the holder of such shares in the arbitration proceeding
identified in Item 1 above, far in excess of these payments due the holder.

Item 4:   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
          --------------------------------------------------- 

          At the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 5, 1997, all
nominees for directors, as named in the Company's Proxy Statement dated May 7,
1997, were elected to the terms of office described in such Proxy Statement.
The tabulation of the votes for each Director were as follows:

Mr. John R. Thach

Berwyn, PA 19312

Dear John:

The purpose of this letter is to reach an agreement between you and Eastwind, 
whereby you will be fairly compensated and Eastwind and you will release each 
other from any implied or real obligations it or you may have under the terms of
your Employment Contract.

The terms of the agreement are as follows:

1)  You do hereby agree to:

    a)  Resign, effective July 1, 1997, from any and all offices you now hold
        as an officer of Eastwind, other than as a member of the Board of
        Directors, and resign from the Executive Committee thereof; and to forgo
        any claims you might have in the future to such offices.

    b)  Release The Eastwind Group, Inc. ("Eastwind"), with prejudice, from any 
        and all, implied or real, claims and/or obligations by/to you under the
        terms of your employment contract, including, but not limited to any
        obligations to increase or add to any compensation that you are now, or
        have been, receiving, whether they be accrued salary (other than those
        normal salary payments already being paid on a consistent basis and
        having accrued until the date of the signature of this agreement),
        accrued bonuses, or otherwise (unless listed below).

    c)  Release Eastwind, with prejudice, from any and all, implied or real, 
        claims and/or obligations that you might have in the future regarding
        further compensation or employment (other than as a shareholder or Board

        Member or as listed below), including, but not limited to any bonuses
        that you might feel Eastwind would be obligated to pay you subsequent to
        or regarding the sale of any Eastwind subsidiaries, such as Lavelle or
        Polychem.

    d)  Indemnify and hold Eastwind harmless for any and all real or imagined 
        past or present damages that you may feel that you have sustained as a
        result of your mistreatment as an officer, shareholder or employee of
        Eastwind; to keep all information you may have regarding Eastwind or the
        matters covered by this agreement strictly confidential, unless
        otherwise notified in writing, by me; and not to make any defamatory
        remarks or statements in the future to anyone regarding Eastwind or its
        officers or directors.

    e)  Not compete directly with Eastwind, by acquiring more than a 20% 
        ownership position in, or indirectly by accepting employment from any
        companies whose principal business is in the printing or municipal
        wastewater treatment equipment manufacturing industries, within a one
        hundred and fifty mile radius of Philadelphia, through January 1, 2000.

    f)  At my discretion, but with thirty (30) days written notice, vacate your 
        current office at Eastwind. You are to leave behind all business related
        files that you have, other than those files and materials that are
        purely personal, or which you brought with you to Eastwind, or which you
        may find useful solely in the pursuit of acquiring your own businesses
        in the future, other than those businesses described in paragraph 1(e).
        You will be provided with all of the general and administrative support
        that you have been and are currently being provided, at no cost to you,
        until such time as you vacate the Eastwind premises.

2)  In return for which, Eastwind (and/or its successors), does hereby agree 
    to:

    a)  Pay you, in full, the sum of $125,000, in cash at closing of the earlier
        of either Eastwind's refinancing the majority of its secured debt or its
        sale of Polychem.

    b)  Pay you the amount of $200,000 per annum, on a semi-

        monthly basis, effective immediately, beginning to accrue upon signature
        of this agreement and continuing through January 1, 2000, in return for
        your non-complete obligations set forth in this agreement and its
        exhibits, with full confession of judgement in the event of Eastwind's
        failure to make payments (The terms of the non-compete agreement are
        outlined in Exhibit A). No further pro-active performance will be
        required of or from you in order that you be able to collect the amounts
        owed you under the terms therein, and no deductions, offsets or claw-
        backs will be allowed therefrom, unless you violate the terms of
        paragraph 1(e) of this agreement.

    c)  Immediately vest you fully in all options that you now have in Eastwind 
        or any of its subsidiaries, including options to acquire 100,000 shares
        in Team Graphics, Inc., or its successor, at the same exercise price
        granted or if a more favorable exercise price by reason of future
        adjustment, that I will have the right to acquire and exercise options
        granted to me on the same dates. Eastwind will register all shares
        underlying these options, at Eastwind's expense, as part of the next
        registration of option shares, or if at earlier time an amendment of a
        current registration.

        releases regarding you or the termination of your employment, that are

        public announcement shall rest within my sole discretion.

    e)  Release you, with prejudice, from all of the terms of your employment 
        contract with Eastwind.

    f)  Indemnify and hold you harmless for any and all real or imagined past or
        present damages that Eastwind may believe that it has sustained as a
        result of your performance as an officer, shareholder or employee of
        Eastwind; and not allow any officers or employees of Eastwind to make 
        any defamatory remarks or statements in the future to anyone regarding
        you or your performance.

    g)  Allow you to pursue and use any and all materials assembled or hitherto 
        used by you as an employee of

             having acquired Ivy/Tygart Acquisition Corp. or some other company,
             to obtain similar health and medical coverage therefrom, but not
             beyond January 1, 2000.

        ii)  Full and prompt payment of any and all automotive payments, 
             privileges or benefits that you are currently being provided or
             reimbursed for, by Eastwind or its subsidiaries (including but not
             limited to all lease, gasoline, repair and insurance payments),
             through the later of December 31, 1997 or your acquisition of
             Ivy/Tygart Acquisition Corp or some other company, but not beyond

             you at Centennial Printing as well as all general and
             administrative assistance you now receive (including but not
             limited to phone, fax, copy, postal expense, etc.) or, at
             Eastwind's discretion, the sum of $1,000 per month in cash to cover
             the costs thereof, for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to

          with adequate time to respond adequately.

     its exhibits, such ambiguities shall be construed or interpreted to your
     benefit. Eastwind will reimburse you for any and all reasonable expenses
     (legal and otherwise) that you might incur in attempting to collect
     payments due under the terms of this agreement.

                                   ---------


The terms of the Non-Compete Agreement whereby John R. Thach ("Thach") agrees
not to compete with The Eastwind Group, Inc. ("Eastwind") under the terms of the
non-compete portion of his termination agreement dated June 20, 1997 and found
in paragraph 1)e) thereof; and in return Eastwind agrees to make certain
semimonthly cash payments to Thach, are as follows:

Agreement:      Thach will not compete directly with Eastwind, by acquiring more
                than a 20% ownership position in, or indirectly by accepting
                employment from any companies whose principal business is in the
                printing or municipal wastewater treatment equipment
                manufacturing industries, within a one hundred and fifty mile
                radius of Philadelphia, through January 1, 2000.

Payments:       Thach will be paid $200,000 per annum, in equal semi-monthly
                payments to be made on the 1st and 15th of each month through
                January 1, 2000, accruing from the date of signature of the
                termination agreement, to which this is an Exhibit. In the event
                of Thach's death, said payments will continue to be paid to the
                benefit of his wife, heirs or personal representatives.

Duration:       Up to and including January 1, 2000.

Prepayment:     Eastwind shall have the right to prepay the remaining
                unsatisfied amount owed under the terms of this non-compete
                agreement in full, at any time without fear of loosing any
                rights thereunder.

Security:       By the full faith and credit of Eastwind. However, in the event
                that the Eastwind is, or becomes, unable to make such payments
                by virtue of declaring Chapter 11 or otherwise, Thach shall be
                released from any and all non-compete obligations in the
                agreement.

Withholding of 
  Payments:     Eastwind shall not for any reason, whether real or
                imagined, have any right to forgo, reduce or withhold any
                payment to Thach, other than for Thach's having gone into
                competition with Eastwind, as defined by the terms of this
                Agreement. Furthermore, Eastwind shall be considered to have
                signed a full confession of

Exhibit A (continued)
June 20, 1997
                
                
                judgement to its detriment, in the event of failure to make said
                payments.

Failure:        Payments are due, by mail or courier, within three (3) working
                days of the 15th and end of each month. The failure to do so 
                will constitute a "Failure" under the terms of this agreement.

Remedy:         Either the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or
                Chief Operating Officer of Eastwind must receive either oral or
                written notice from Thach of such Failure to make said payments,
                after which Eastwind has 4 business days to correct such
                Failure. However, in the event of ten (10) or more events of
                Failure as defined above under the terms of this agreement or
                one event of failure with a duration of more than ten (10) days
                post-notification, Eastwind shall be required to immediately pay
                the full amount of all payments to be made, in cash to Thach.
                Eastwind will reimburse Thach for any and all reasonable
                expenses (legal and otherwise) that Thach incurs in attempting
                to collect said amounts.
