COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Each director who is not an officer or employee of the Company receives
for his services as such a fee of $1,000 per meeting attended, subject to a
maximum annual fee of $4,000. Directors who are officers or employees of the
Company receive no additional compensation for their service as a director,
although they are reimbursed for their reasonable travel expenses when meetings
are held in a location other than the metropolitan area in which they reside.
As additional consideration for their services to the Company, the Company
has established a Directors Stock Option Plan which provides for the grant of
non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors of the Company. Each
such director is granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock on:
(a) the date on which such person first becomes a director and (b) the date of
each Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurring thereafter during the term of the
plan if the participant shall have been a director for the six months
immediately preceding such Annual Meeting. The exercise price of options
granted under the Directors Stock Option Plan is the greater of book value per
share or fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date the option
is granted. Each option under the Directors Stock

<PAGE> 7

granted and remains exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of the
grant unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the plan. In

Company as a separate entity in February, 1993 through March 8, 1996 when a new
chairman of the Board of Directors was elected. Mr. Graber's option is
currently exercisable and expires in March, 2006.
The Company does not have employment agreements with the Named Executives.
CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
The Company granted the options disclosed in the tables above pursuant to
the 1993 Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors determines the exercise provisions of each option award. All shares
subject to an option grant become immediately exercisable upon a change in
control of the Company. A "change in control" is defined as the acquisition of
20% or more of the voting power of the Company or sale of all or substantially
all of the Company's assets, or a merger, consolidation or similar transaction
