Series D Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") among New World, the Company and Brookwood New World Investors, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company ("Brookwood") attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
                                                                      ---------
The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for both its Series D Preferred
(as defined in Item 4) and its Warrant was $7,500,000 (a per unit price of
$925.00). The Company used funds derived from a loan to the Company to purchase
the Series D Preferred and Warrant.

               (b) The Company, through separate agreement, has the right to
purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share upon
exercise of its Warrant (the "November Warrant"). The Company's November Warrant
was acquired pursuant to a Warrant Transfer Agreement dated July, 1999, by and
between the Company and Jack Zalkind. The aggregate consideration paid for the
November Warrant was $50,000. The Company funded the purchase of the November
Warrant from the Company's working capital.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

               On August 11, 2000, New World, the Company and Brookwood entered
into the Purchase Agreement. The first closing under the Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which the Company purchased its Series D Preferred and its Warrant,
occurred on August 14, 2000. The second closing under the Purchase Agreement,
pursuant to which the Brookwood purchased its Series D Preferred and Warrant,
occurred on August 18, 2000. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the
Company and Brookwood each purchased (i) 8,108.108 shares of New World's Series
D Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred") and (ii) a warrant to purchase up
to 1,196,910 shares of Common Stock which represents approximately 7.7% of the
Common Stock (each, a "Warrant"). The form of the Warrant is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2. Pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement, the number of
---------
shares that the Company may receive upon exercise of its Warrant is subject to
upward adjustment depending upon certain future events affecting the
capitalization of New World. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant are entitled to registration rights under the terms of a
Registration Rights Agreement among New World, the Company and Brookwood,
attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if New
                   ---------
World fails to take actions to redeem the Series D Preferred within one year of
the closing, New World will be required to issue to each of the Company and
Brookwood, each quarter for the next four quarters, additional warrants
representing an additional 1.34% of New World, subject to reduction for any
redemption(s) that occur during that year. Further, under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, if New World fails to take actions to redeem the Series D
Preferred within two years of the closing, New World will be required to issue
to each of the Company and Brookwood, each quarter for the next four quarters,
additional warrants representing an additional 2.015% of New World, subject to
reduction for any redemption(s) that occur during that year.

               The Certificate of Designations provides that holders of a
majority of the Series D Preferred (i.e., the Company and Brookwood) are
entitled to elect the minimum number of directors that shall consist of at least
two-sevenths of the Board. Upon the occurrence of certain events described in
the Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Series D Preferred have the
right to elect additional directors so that the holders of the Series D
Preferred will have then appointed one-half of the Board.

               Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, so long as any
shares of the Series D Preferred are outstanding, the consent of holders of at
least 67% of the Series D Preferred is required for New World to: (i) amend or
repeal any provision of New World's Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in a
manner which materially adversely affects the rights and preferences of the
holders of Series D Preferred; (ii) authorize or issue shares of any class of
stock having any preference or priority as to dividends or assets superior to or
on a parity with the Series D Preferred; (iii) pay or declare any dividend on
any other type or class of securities, other than a dividend payable in common
stock or rights under New World's rights plan; (iv) authorize a sale of any
substantial portion of the assets of New World (other than sales of stores owned
by New World or its subsidiaries), or a recapitalization or reorganization of
New World (other than stock splits, combinations and/or dividends); (v) take any
action that results in New World incurring or assuming more than $1,000,000 of
funded indebtedness (other than borrowings under the New World's existing line
of credit, either on an individual or cumulative basis), except as contemplated
by New World and described in the Purchase Agreement; (vi)

merge or consolidate with or into any person, or enter into any agreement to
accomplish such merger or consolidation, except as contemplated by New World and
described in the Purchase Agreement; (vii) effect or allow fundamental change
the nature of New World's business; or (viii) otherwise materially affect the
rights, privileges and preferences of the holders of New World's Series D
Preferred Stock.

         Except as set forth  above,  neither  the Company nor Mr. Toll have any
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following:

         (a)   The acquisition of additional securities of New World, or the
disposition of securities of New World;

         (b)   An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving New World;

         (c)   A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of New World;

         (d)   Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of New World;

         (e)   Any other material change in New World's business or corporate
structure;

         (f)   Changes in New World's charter, by-laws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of New World by any person;

         (g)   A class of securities of New World being delisted from a national
securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer
quotation system of a registered national securities association;

         (h)   A class of equity securities of New World becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or

         (i)   Any action similar to those enumerated above.

         Any future decision by the Company or Mr. Toll to take any such actions
with respect to the Company or its securities will depend upon several factors,
including the prospects of the Company, general market and economic conditions
and other factors deemed relevant.
