     Annual Meeting of Shareholders of TCC, which resolution, if adopted by the
     shareholders, would result in the amendment and restatement of Section 3.02
     of the bylaws of TCC, with the effect of removing the requirement of
     staggered terms for directors elected after its approval;

          (iii)  advised TCC that Mr. DeRoeck intended to appear at the Annual
     Meeting of Shareholders in person or by proxy to submit the Proposal to the
     shareholders; and

          (iv) notified TCC that he intended to solicit proxies in support of
     his nominees for election to the Board of Directors and the adoption of the
     Proposal.

          TCC, through its special legal counsel, has advised the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("Commission") that it intends to omit the Proposal from its
proxy statement pursuant to paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(8) of Rule 14a-8
under the Act and has requested that the Division of Corporation Finance
recommend to the Commission that no enforcement action be taken if the Proposal
is so omitted.

          Mr. DeRoeck, through his special legal counsel, has filed with the
Commission a request that the Commission deny TCC's request for a no-action
position if the Proposal is omitted from TCC's proxy statement.

          While there is no written agreement between Mr. DeRoeck and Mr.
Thomajan relative to the Common Stock of TCC, Mr. DeRoeck and Mr. Thomajan have
agreed that:

                                       7

          (a) they will each continue to purchase shares of Common Stock,
     through open-market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions and
     otherwise, with the view to voting those shares in favor of their election
     to the Board of Directors of TCC and in favor of the adoption of the
     Proposal;

          (b) they will act in concert in the solicitation of proxies in
     conjunction with the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will vote those
     proxies in favor of their election to the Board of Directors and in favor
     of the adoption of the Proposal;

          (c) upon their election to the Board of Directors, they will seek to
     identify, and then urge the Board of Directors of TCC to explore, a variety
     of plans and proposals that, if adopted, would be designed to increase
     TCC's sales, earnings and return on investment, all with the view to
     increasing shareholder value; and

          (d) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing
     proxy solicitation and any legal proceedings related thereto will be paid
     by Mr. DeRoeck.

          The plans and proposals referred to in clause (c) above may include,
among others: (i) a corporate transaction, such as a merger or reorganization;
(ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of TCC or one or more of
its subsidiaries; (iii) the acquisition of a material amount of assets in
connection with the expansion of TCC's existing lines of business or the
development of new lines of business; and (iv) other material changes in TCC's
business or corporate structure, including its management.

          Mr. DeRoeck has no power to vote or direct the voting of, nor any
power to dispose of or direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock
owned by Mr. Thomajan.  Consequently, Mr. DeRoeck disclaims any beneficial
interest in such shares of Common Stock.

          Mr. Thomajan has no power to vote or direct the voting of, nor any
power to dispose of or direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock
owned by Mr. DeRoeck.  Consequently, Mr. Thomajan disclaims any beneficial
interest in such shares of Common Stock.

          Except as set forth above, Mr. DeRoeck and Mr. Thomajan disclaim the
existence of any group, in which either of them may be deemed to be a member,
relative to the ownership of any securities of TCC.  Moreover, except as set
forth above, neither Mr. DeRoeck nor Mr. Thomajan has any contracts,
arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any
other person with respect to any securities of TCC, including, but not limited
to, transfer or voting of any securities of TCC; finder's fees; joint ventures;
loan or option arrangements; puts or calls; guarantees of profits; divisions of
profits or losses; or the giving or withholding of proxies.
