                                PROXY STATEMENT
                            ------------------------

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of TPI Enterprises, Inc. (the
"Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 19,
1994 (the "Annual Meeting"). All proxies duly executed and received will be
voted on all matters presented at the meeting in accordance with the
specifications made in such proxies. In the absence of specified instructions,
proxies so received will be voted FOR the named nominees to the Company's Board
of Directors, FOR approval of the amendment to the Company's Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan and FOR ratification of the reappointment of
Deloitte & Touche as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 25, 1994. The Board does not know of any other matters that may
be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that
proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate nominees. In the
event that any other matter should come before the meeting or any nominee is not
available for election, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have
discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect to such matters in
accordance with their best judgment. A proxy may be revoked at any time before
being voted by written notice to such effect received by the Secretary of the
Company before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting, by delivery to the
Company of a subsequently dated proxy or by a vote cast in person at the Annual
Meeting by written ballot. The Company will pay the entire expense of soliciting
proxies, which solicitation may be by mail, personal interview, telephone and
telegraph by Directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company has
retained Kissel-Blake Inc., 25 Broadway, New York, New York as paid solicitors
at a cost of $8,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

     The total number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01
per share (the "Common Shares"), outstanding as of April 15, 1994 was
20,297,364. The Common Shares are the only class of securities of the Company
entitled to vote, each share being entitled to one non-cumulative vote. Only
shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 15, 1994 (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A list of
shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged alphabetically, will be
available at the meeting for examination by any shareholder.

     The holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding, whether
present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. A plurality of the total votes
cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of
directors. Abstentions are counted as present in determining whether the quorum
requirement is satisfied. Proxies returned by brokers as "non-votes" on behalf
of shares held in street name because beneficial owners' discretion has been
withheld as to one or more matters on the agenda for the Annual Meeting will not
be treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum for the Annual
Meeting unless they are voted by the broker on at least one matter on the
agenda. In tabulating the vote on the election of directors, abstentions and
non-votes will be disregarded and will have no effect on the outcome of such
vote. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to ratify
the appointment of Deloitte & Touche. In determining whether such proposal has
received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions and broker
non-votes will be disregarded and will have no effect on the outcome of the
vote. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Shares
present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting is necessary to approve the
amendment to the Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Non-Employee Directors Plan"). In determining whether such proposal has
received the requisite number of affirmative votes, abstentions and broker
non-votes will be counted and will have the same effect as a vote against such
proposal.

     This Proxy Statement and form of proxy are first being mailed to
shareholders of the Company on or about April 18, 1994.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

     Mr. Stephen R. Cohen is employed by the Company under an employment
agreement expiring December 31, 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the employment
agreement, Mr. Cohen received a minimum annual base salary during fiscal year
1993 of $774,035 and was entitled to an annual increase of no less than 6% of
the minimum level of annual compensation payable to him thereunder. Mr. Cohen's
employment agreement also provided for bonus payments as determined from time to
time by the Board. Mr. Cohen's employment agreement was amended on December 31,
1993. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, as amended, Mr. Cohen
receives a current minimum base salary of $600,000 per annum and will be
entitled to an annual increase of no less than 5% of the minimum level of annual
compensation payable to him thereunder. The amendment provides that Mr. Cohen
will also be entitled to receive an annual bonus in an amount equal to 3.0% of
the increase in the Company's operating profits (as defined in the agreement)
for the calendar year, plus an additional $20,000 for each percentage point
increase (or portion thereof) in the Company's same store nominal sales. Mr.
Cohen's annual bonus may not exceed $250,000. As a result of the Company's
financial performance, Mr. Cohen was not granted a discretionary annual bonus
for 1993.

     Mr. J. Gary Sharp is employed by the Company under an employment agreement
expiring on January 13, 1999 at a current minimum base salary of $289,401 per
annum. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Sharp is entitled
to an annual increase of no less than 5% of the immediately preceding year's
base salary. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Sharp was
entitled to receive an annual bonus for fiscal year 1993 in an amount equal to
4.5% of the increase in Restaurants' profits attributable to restaurants
operations for the calendar year. As a result of the Company's financial
performance in 1993, Mr. Sharp received no annual bonus for 1993. Mr. Sharp's
employment agreement was amended in January 1994. The employment agreement, as
amended, provides for Mr. Sharp to receive an annual bonus in an amount equal to
2.7% of the increase in the Company's operating profits (as defined in the
agreement) for the calendar year, plus an additional $28,000 for each percentage
point increase (or portion thereof) in the Company's same store nominal sales.

     Pursuant to the amended employment agreement, in January 1994 Mr. Sharp was
granted 100,000 stock options expiring December 31, 1998 with an exercise price
of $9.75, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on January 13,
1994, the date of his amended employment agreement. The options do not begin to
vest until the market price of the Common Stock exceeds $18 per share for twenty
consecutive trading days, at which time 10% will vest. The options then vest in
10% increments each time the stock price increases by $1 and retains such
increase for twenty consecutive trading days.

     In addition, Mr. Sharp's employment agreement was amended to provide for a
discretionary annual grant of up to 50,000 stock options with a ten-year term
that vest pro rata over the five years following the grant with an exercise
price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of
grant. Any such grant will be based on a review of the Company's financial
performance during such year.

     The employment agreement, as amended, provides that in the event that Mr.
Sharp's employment with the Company is terminated without cause or Mr. Sharp
terminates his employment after a material breach of the employment agreement by
the Company that is not remedied, the Company shall pay Mr. Sharp his full base
salary at the rate then in effect until January 13, 1999.

     Mr. Robert A. Kennedy is employed by the Company under an employment
agreement expiring January 1, 1995 at a current minimum base salary of $225,000
per annum. Mr. Kennedy also receives such bonus payments as determined from time
to time by the Board.

     Mr. Frederick W. Burford is employed by the Company under an employment
agreement expiring September 30, 1994 at a current minimum base salary of
$192,938 per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, Mr.
Burford is entitled to a 5% increase in annual salary for the term of the
agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Burford is also entitled to
receive an annual bonus of the amount equal to 2.5% of the increase in
Restaurants' operating profits attributable to restaurants operations for the
calendar year, and $30,000 to be paid annually beginning January 1, 1993 or at
such time as bonuses are normally paid. In the event that the employment
agreement is terminated by Restaurants without cause or by Mr. Burford as a
result of a substantial change in his duties, title, reporting relationship
within Restaurants or a change in the principal place of business of
Restaurants, he shall be paid, as severance, one year's salary based on the
compensation in effect on the

                                       9

<PAGE>

date of termination, payable monthly, his bonus accrued through the date of
termination and $90,000 less any annual $30,000 bonus compensation previously
paid to him. Mr. Burford is currently discussing with the Company an amendment
to his employment agreement.

     In 1984, the Company entered into written agreements with each of Messrs.
Cohen and Kennedy, pursuant to which, in the event the Company terminates the
employment of any of them, other than for cause, following a change in control,
or any such person voluntarily terminates such employment within 180 days
subsequent to a change in control, the Company shall be obligated to pay to each
such person an amount of money equal to three years base compensation. Payment
would be made in a lump sum upon cessation of employment or, at the employee's
option, in equal monthly installments over a three year period. Change in
control is defined under such agreements as either the acquisition by a person
or group of persons acting in concert of 35% or more beneficial ownership of the
Company's voting securities or a change in the majority composition of the
Board. Base annual salaries currently payable to Messrs. Cohen and Kennedy are
$600,000 and $225,000, respectively.

     In November 1992, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Kennedy,
which was amended on December 31, 1993. The agreement, as amended, provides that
if his employment is terminated by the Company prior to five years after the
date of the agreement, other than for cause, the Company shall pay him a lump
sum equal to (i) $320,000 if such termination occurs within three years after
November 19, 1992, (ii) $213,333 if such termination occurs more than three
years but less than four years after November 19, 1992 and (iii) $106,666 if
such termination occurs more than four but less than five years after November
19, 1992. Pursuant to the agreement, the employee shall not receive such
payments if (i) he is terminated for cause, (ii) if he voluntarily terminates
his employment with the Company or (iii) he receives the payment described in
the preceding paragraph. A termination by the employee of his employment within
30 days following a significant reduction in the employee's base salary or
benefits which is not proportionate to similar reductions for other members of
the Company's management is not considered a voluntary termination for purposes
of the agreement.

     On March 30, 1993, the Company entered into a termination agreement with
Mr. Joseph P. Gowan which provided that Mr. Gowan retire from the Company and
resign from his positions as director and officer of the Company and Restaurants
effective such date. Mr. Gowan acted as a consultant for the Company in
connection with the sale of the 50% partnership interest of TPI Entertainment,
Inc. ("Entertainment") in Exhibition Enterprises Partnership ("EEP") as well as
other matters, and received $227,223 as compensation for such services. Mr.
Gowan received his retirement benefits on March 30, 1993 in a single lump sum
payment of $1,850,542 and continues to receive his medical and life insurance
benefits through June 1994, pursuant to the terms of the termination agreement.

     The Company's 1982 Stock Option Plan (the "1982 Plan"), 1983 Stock Option
Plan (the "1993 Plan"), 1984 Stock Option Plan (the "1984 Plan"), 1992 Stock
Option and Incentive Plan (the "1992 Plan") and Non-Employee Directors Plan
(each, an "Option Plan," and collectively the "Option Plans") contain certain
change in control provisions. The Option Plans, except for the Non-Employee
Directors Plan, provide that the stock option agreement may provide that if the
holder of an option under such Option Plan is an employee of a subsidiary of the
Company and such subsidiary ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company, such
option shall be treated as if the employment of the holder was terminated
otherwise than by reason of death, voluntarily or for cause, as provided in such
Option Plans. Under the 1984 Plan and the 1992 Plan, the Stock Option Committee
may provide (and under the 1982 Plan, the Board or the Stock Option Committee is
authorized to provide) that an option may become exercisable immediately upon a
change in control of the Company. The Non-Employee Directors Plan also provides
for acceleration of the exercisability of options in the event of a change in
control of the Company. Under the 1982 Plan, the 1983 Plan and the 1984 Plan, a
change in control shall be deemed to occur if any person is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 35% of the Company's
outstanding voting securities, or in the event of a change in the majority
composition of the Board. Under the 1992 Plan and the Non-Employee Directors
Plan, a change in control shall be deemed to occur if any person is or becomes
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 50% of the Company's
outstanding voting securities, or in the event of a change in the majority
composition of the Board. The 1982 Plan, the 1983 Plan and the 1984 Plan, but
not the options previously granted under such Option Plans, terminated on
September 1, 1991, May 9, 1994 and December 8, 1993, respectively, in accordance
with their terms.

     The following table sets forth, as of April 15, 1994, the number and
percentage of outstanding Common Shares beneficially owned by directors,
nominees, each of the Named Executive Officers, and directors and executive
officers as a group. The number of Common Shares owned are those "beneficially
owned," as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and information is not
necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such
rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person, directly
or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or
otherwise, has sole or shared voting power or investment power, and also any
shares that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the Record
Date through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of
any security, or pursuant to the automatic termination or power of revocation of
a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

                         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

     The undersigned members of the Compensation Committee of the Company's
Board (the "Committee"), all of whom are independent, nonemployee members of the
Board, are pleased to present to the shareholders of the Company this report
concerning the compensation of the Company's executive officers. The role of the
Committee in this matter is to establish or approve both the broad principles
underlying the compensation program for executive officers and the specific
application of these principles to each executive officer's compensation
package.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

     The Committee believes that the Board of Directors can best meet its
primary responsibility to shareholders of the Company--to enhance short-term and
long-term profitability of the Company--by attracting, retaining and motivating
management of the highest quality. A competitive and fair compensation program
that provides appropriate incentive to management is essential to the attainment
of this goal.

     The Company's compensation program has three principal components: annual
base salary and fringe benefit plans, short-term incentives consisting of annual
bonuses and long-term incentives consisting of grants of stock options under the
Company's 1992 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan"). The annual
bonuses are generally linked to Company performance based on formulae which the
Committee believes align the interests of the executive officers with those of
shareholders. Option grants are based to some extent on historical performance
but primarily on the Stock Option Committee's subjective assessment of the
executive officer's (and other employees') likely ability to contribute to the
growth of the Company over the term of the option (after taking into
consideration the executive officer's existing employee stock options). The
members of the Committee also constitute the members of the Stock Option
Committee. In view of the Company's financial performance in 1993, no options
were granted in 1993 under the Option Plan. The Company has historically placed
particular emphasis on its annual bonuses and its option plans, in the belief
that meaningful participation in the Company's success is an effective and fair
means of retaining and motivating its executive officers.

COMPENSATION PROGRAM COMPONENTS

     Salary. As noted above, annual base salary is one component of the
Company's compensation program. In formulating base salaries, the Company
balances its need to attract top quality executive officers with its desire to
provide these officers with sufficient incentive to perform in a way that
enhances corporate performance. The result is that the base salary for each
executive officer is designed to represent only a part of that officer's
compensation package. For certain executive officers, the base salary is set
forth in an employment agreement for such officer which generally provides for
annual increases at a specified rate during the term of the agreement. (As
discussed below, the employment contract of the Chairman of the Board was
amended to, among other things, substantially reduce his base salary and the
rate at which such base salary will increase in future years.) Other executive
officers receive salaries not set forth in a contract. The percentage of total
compensation for executive officers represented by base salary varies from year
to year because the incentive-based component of executive compensation varies
from year to year. Executive officers are also permitted to participate in other
designated fringe benefit plans.

     Short-term incentives. Annual bonuses represent a second component of each
executive officer's total compensation. Certain of the executive officers
receive annual bonuses equal to a percentage of the increase in the Company's
profits attributable to operations for the year over profits for the prior year
generally pursuant to formulae set forth in their employment agreements with the
Company. (As discussed below, at the end of 1993, the Committee decided to
renegotiate the manner in which annual bonuses are calculated for the Chairman
of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.) In the case of
formula bonuses, the annual bonus component of total compensation is directly
dependent upon certain measures (as described below) of Company performance that
were determined at the time

                                       13

<PAGE>

the contracts were negotiated with the executive officer. Other executive
officers have, in past years, received annual bonuses at the discretion of the
Committee based on the Committee's annual assessment of the executive's
contribution to the success of the Company for the year. In both cases, the
annual bonus component of the executive's total compensation package reflects
the Company's philosophy of providing its executive officers with proper
incentives tied to corporate performance. As a result of the Company's financial
results in 1993, no executive officers received annual bonuses for such year
either pursuant to formulae in their employment agreements or at the discretion
of the Committee.

     Long-term incentives. The long-term incentive component of executive
compensation is equity-based and consists of the award of stock options to the
executive officers (as well as many other employees of the Company), which
grants are made by and at the discretion of the Stock Option Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors. The stock options are granted with an exercise
price equal to not less than the market value of shares of the Company's common
stock on the date of grant. The Committee believes the stock options (together
with any options previously granted) primarily represent compensation that will
be earned by the executive officer for his service over a period of up to ten
years (the period during which such options may be exercised). As indicated
above, no options were granted in 1993 as a result of the Company's financial
performance.

     1993 Compensation of the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Stephen R. Cohen is the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company and has served the Company in that role for 16 years.
He also served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until March 19, 1993,
on which date Mr. J. Gary Sharp was promoted to that position in connection with
the disposition of the Company's remaining interest in the movie exhibition
business and its increased focus on its core restaurant business.

     1993 Initiatives to Restructure Compensation. In 1993, the Committee
initiated an effort to restructure the compensation of Messrs. Cohen and Sharp.
The purpose of this restructuring was generally to (a) reduce costs and (b)
align the executive's incentive compensation with achievement of objective
performance targets, which the Committee judged to be more appropriate than
existing standards and to be in the interests of the Company and its
shareholders. Specifically, in the case of Mr. Cohen, the Committee's objectives
in the amendment to his contract, which was executed on December 31, 1993, were
to (a) substantially reduce his base salary to reduce nonperformance based
compensation costs, (b) terminate the Company's Non-Qualified Retirement Plan
for Senior Executives and satisfy the Company's obligations thereunder to Mr.
Cohen (and the other two participants under the plan) at a substantial discount
compared to the earned benefit and (c) provide that Mr. Cohen's bonus be
specifically tied to objective performance standards (improvements in operating
profits and same store sales as described below), rather than be at the
discretion of the Company. In the case of Mr. Sharp, the Committee's objectives
in the amendment to his contract, which was executed on January 13, 1994, were
to (a) reduce the reliance for purposes of Mr. Sharp's bonus on operating profit
and add, as a criteria for the bonus, improvements in same store sales, which
mix of objective targets the Committee believed would be a better indication of
contribution to long-term growth, (b) grant a significant number of options
contingent on meeting certain improvements in the market price of the Common
Stock as discussed below and (c) to extend Mr. Sharp's contract until 1999.

     Compensation of Stephen R. Cohen. Mr. Cohen's base salary for 1993 was
increased by $43,813 or 6% over his 1992 base salary. Mr. Cohen received this
salary increase pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the
Company which was initially entered into in 1987. Effective December 31, 1993
the Company and Mr. Cohen entered into an amendment to Mr. Cohen's employment
agreement which provides that his annual base salary for 1994 is $600,000 (which
represents a reduction of $220,477 or 27% from the salary to which he would have
been entitled prior to the amendment) and his base salary shall increase by 5%
(as opposed to 6% prior to the amendment) for each succeeding year during his
term of employment.

     As a result of the financial performance of the Company, Mr. Cohen was not
granted a discretionary annual bonus for 1993. Pursuant to the amendment to his
employment agreement, his annual bonus

                                       14

<PAGE>

for years following 1993 was revised to be based on a formula tied to
improvement in operating profits (as defined in the agreement) and same store
sales. Beginning in 1994, he will receive an annual bonus equal to 3% of the
increase in the Company's operating profits over operating profits for the prior
year and $20,000 for each percentage point increase (or portion thereof) in the
Company's same store nominal sales.

     Mr. Cohen did not receive any stock option grants in 1993.

     On December 31, 1993 the Company terminated its retirement plan and made
certain payments to the three remaining participants under such plan (including
Mr. Cohen) in full satisfaction of the Company's obligation under that plan. If
Mr. Cohen had retired as of December 31, 1993, Mr. Cohen would have been
entitled to receive a cash payment of $4,125,584. Mr. Cohen received a payment
in the amount of $3,150,000, which was 24% less than the amount he would have
received if he had retired at such date. The payment was made in partial
consideration of his agreeing to amend his employment agreement to provide for a
reduced annual base salary.

     Compensation of J. Gary Sharp. Mr. Sharp's base salary for 1993 was
increased by $13,781 or 5% over his 1992 base salary. Mr. Sharp received this
salary increase pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the
Company which was initially entered into in 1989. As of January 13, 1994 the
Company and Mr. Sharp entered into an amendment to Mr. Sharp's employment
agreement which provides that his annual base salary for 1994 is $289,402 and
his base salary shall increase by not less than 5% for each succeeding year
during his term of employment.

     Pursuant to his employment contract prior to its amendment, Mr. Sharp
received an annual bonus equal to 4.5% of the increase in the Company's
operating profits for the calendar year just ended over the Company's operating
profits for the prior year. As a result of the financial performance of the
Company in 1993, Mr. Sharp received no annual bonus for such year. The amendment
to Mr. Sharp's employment agreement revised the above formula for his annual
bonus for 1994 and succeeding years to reduce the percentage to 2.7%, and
substitute for the remaining portion of the bonus the stock options described
below and a bonus of $28,000 for each percentage point increase (or portion
thereof) in the Company's same store nominal sales. It was the Committee's
judgment that these two different objective performance criteria (together with
the options described below) would provide a better incentive for contribution
to long-term growth.

     Mr. Sharp did not receive any stock option grants in 1993, although, as
discussed below, the Company granted the options described below in early 1994.

     Pursuant to the amended employment agreement, in January 1994 Mr. Sharp was
granted 100,000 stock options expiring December 31, 1998 with an exercise price
of $9.75, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on January 13,
1994, the date of his amended employment agreement. The options do not begin to
vest until the market price of the common stock exceeds $18 per share for twenty
consecutive trading days, at which time 10% will vest. The options then vest in
10% increments each time the stock price increases by $1 and retains such
increase for twenty consecutive trading days.

     In addition, Mr. Sharp's employment agreement was amended to provide for a
discretionary annual grant of up to 50,000 stock options with a ten-year term
that vest pro rata over the five years following the grant with an exercise
price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of
grant. Any such grant will be based on a review of the Company's financial
performance during such year.

     Internal Revenue Code. On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 was signed into law (the "Revenue Act"). The Revenue
Act limits the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1 million per
year paid by a publicly traded corporation to an employee of such corporation
for years following 1993. Under the Revenue Act, compensation which is payable
under a written contract that was in effect before February 17, 1993, or which
qualifies as "performance-based" compensation is exempt from the $1 million
deductibility limitation. The Committee is aware of the

                                       15

<PAGE>

applicable provisions of the Revenue Act and intends to review their application
to the Company's executive compensation program as it, from time to time,
considers compensation issues.

                                RETIREMENT PLAN

     In August 1989, the Board approved and adopted a nonqualified retirement
plan (the "Retirement Plan"), effective August 15, 1989, for certain senior
executives. Pursuant to the Retirement Plan, executives were selected from time
to time by the Board to participate. The Retirement Plan was terminated by the
Board on December 31, 1993 and an aggregate of $4,225,000 was paid out to
participants in full satisfaction of the Company's obligations and liabilities
under such plan. Two of the Named Executive Officers, Messrs. Cohen and Kennedy,
participated in the Retirement Plan and received lump sum payments of $3,150,000
and $700,000 respectively, upon termination of the Retirement Plan. Such
payments were made in conjunction with Mr. Cohen agreeing to a reduction in
salary under his employment agreement and Mr. Kennedy agreeing to a reduction in
salary under his new employment agreement. The lump sum payments to Messrs.
Cohen and Kennedy reflect a substantial reduction in the amount to which they
would have been entitled under the Retirement Plan had they retired as of such
date. In connection with receiving a payout under the Retirement Plan, each of
Messrs. Cohen and Kennedy entered into an agreement with the Company,
acknowledging that such participant is not entitled to any additional benefits
under the Retirement Plan and agreeing to render future services to the Company
at a reduced salary in consideration of the payout.

     Mr. Gowan retired from the Company on March 30, 1993 and on such date
received a lump sum payment under the Retirement Plan in the amount of
$1,850,542. As of such date, Mr. Gowan had 16 credited years of service with the
Company.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

TRANSACTION WITH THE AIRLIE GROUP, L.P.

     On March 19, 1993, The Airlie Group, L.P., The Bass Management Trust, Sid
R. Bass Management Trust, Lee M. Bass and TPI Investors, L.P. and certain
related parties (collectively, the "Purchasers"), made an investment in the
Company of $30 million through an arm's-length transaction with the Company. The
investment includes the issuance of (i) $15 million aggregate principal amount
of 5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003 of the Company
convertible into Common Shares at $11 per share, (ii) warrants to purchase 1
million Common Shares at $11 per share and (iii) 1.5 million Common Shares at
$10 per share. As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to have its Board
consist of ten directors comprised of (i) Messrs. Taylor, Bratton and Marion,
(ii) Messrs. Cohen, Sharp, Burford and Cisneros (collectively, the "Current
Directors"), (iii) two of the previous independent Directors as agreed to by the
Purchasers and the Current Directors (chosen to be Messrs. Siu and Spievack) and
(iv) a new independent Director recommended by the Purchasers and agreed to by
the Purchasers and the Current Directors (chosen to be Mr. Levy). In addition,
in connection with the transaction, the Executive Committee was reconstituted to
be comprised of Messrs. Cohen, Sharp, Cisneros and Taylor and the Nominating
Committee was formed with the same members. See "Election of Directors."

SALE OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST OF ENTERTAINMENT

     On May 28, 1993 the Company completed the sale of its 50% interest EEP to
Cinema Enterprises, Inc., a subsidiary of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC")
for $17.5 million in cash in an arms-length transaction. Cinema Enterprises,
Inc., previously owned the other 50% interest in EEP. The Company recognized a
pre-tax gain of $8,585,000 as a result of the sale.

ACQUISITION OF WPB RESTAURANTS, INC.

     On July 21, 1993, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
the stock of WPB Restaurants, Inc. ("WPB") which operated three Shoney's
restaurants, including one owned and two leased locations. Also included in the
acquisition were the exclusive rights to operate Shoney's restaurants in the
surrounding northern Palm Beach County, Florida area. The purchase price of
$4,860,000 included the issuance of 94,300 Common Shares at $9.49 per share, the
weighted average price for the prior twenty days. In conjunction with this
transaction, the Company agreed to purchase

                                       17

<PAGE>

the land and building of a leased restaurant location in Jupiter, Florida for
$1,240,000. Mr. Sharp was a 20% shareholder in WPB and had a 50% interest in the
land and building acquired. The terms of these transactions were agreed upon
through arms-length negotiations, and in the opinion of management, are
comparable to those which would have been obtainable from unaffiliated sources.
The Company engaged the service of an independent appraisal company to review
the fairness of the transactions.

                        APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE
                    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

GENERAL

     On November 17, 1992, the Board adopted the Non-Employee Directors Plan.
The Non-Employee Directors Plan was ratified by the Company's shareholders at
the Annual Meeting on June 15, 1993. The Non-Employee Directors Plan is designed
to advance the interests of the Company by inducing persons of outstanding
ability and potential to join and remain with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries as directors, by encouraging and enabling non-employee directors to
acquire proprietary interests in the Company and by providing participating
non-employee directors with additional incentive to promote the success of the
Company.

     The New Plan Benefits Table provided below sets forth the amounts that will
be received by or allocated to each of the persons or groups specified for the
1994 fiscal year if the amendment to the Non-Employee Directors Plan is in
effect. Awards granted for the 1993 fiscal year are described under
"Compensation of Directors."

(1) All options granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan have an exercise
    price equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of
    grant. As optionees must pay the exercise price to the Company to acquire
    the shares upon exercise of the option, the dollar value of benefits to be
    received by or allocated to the optionees on the grant date will be zero.

(2) Includes 2,500 options to be granted to each of the Non-Employee Directors
    effective February 1, 1994 and 2,500 options to be granted to each of the
    Non-Employee Directors effective August 1, 1994, subject to shareholder
    approval of the amendment to the Non-Employee Directors Plan.

SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

     The following summary of certain features of the Non-Employee Directors
Plan, as amended subject to shareholder approval, is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Non-Employee Directors Plan, which is attached hereto as
Annex A.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Employee Directors Plan, members of the
Board who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
("Non-Employee Directors") receive automatic awards of nonqualified stock
options. As of April 15, 1994, seven individuals were eligible to receive grants
of awards under the Non-Employee Directors Plan.

     The Company has reserved 150,000 Common Shares for issuance of awards under
the Non-Employee Directors Plan (subject to antidilution and similar
adjustments). As of April 14, 1994, the closing price per share of the Common
Shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market was $7.125.

                                       18

<PAGE>

     The Non-Employee Directors Plan is administered, by a committee (the "Plan
Committee"), established by the Board, and is administered at all times to
satisfy the provisions of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act. The Plan Committee,
subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Non-Employee
Directors Plan, administers and interprets the Non-Employee Directors Plan and
adopt rules and regulations related thereto. On November 17, 1992 (the "Initial
Grant Date"), each Non-Employee Director serving on the Board as of that date
was automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 Common Shares. Each new
Non-Employee Director will be granted an option to purchase 10,000 Common Shares
at the time such new Non-Employee Director is elected to the Board. Under the
existing Plan, on the first business day of each November, an additional award
option to purchase 2,500 Common Shares is automatically granted to each
Non-Employee Director serving on the Board on such date. Subject to shareholder
approval of the amendment to the Plan, instead of the November grant under the
existing plan, on the first business day of each February and August beginning
in 1994, each Non-Employee Director serving on the Board on such date will
automatically be granted an additional award option to purchase 2,500 Common
Shares. The Board of Directors determined to recommend shareholder approval of
the amendment to the Non-Employees Directors Plan for the automatic grant of
such additional options, in light of the reduction in annual fees for Non-
Employee Directors. Commencing January 1994, fees for director services have
been reduced for Non-Employee Directors who beneficially own less than 5% of the
Common Shares from $36,000 to $25,000, per annum, and such fees for Non-Employee
Directors who beneficially own or who are designated to represent 5% or more of
the Common Shares have been reduced from $36,000 to $10,000, per annum.

     As under the existing Plan, generally, each option may be exercised for a
period of up to 10 years from the date of grant. Options will be granted with an
exercise price equal to the "Fair Market Value" (as defined in the Non-Employee
Directors Plan) on the date of grant. The option price will be paid in full in
cash or its equivalent at the time the option is exercised. The options granted
under the Non-Employee Directors Plan will vest in 20% increments annually
beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. However, options
granted as of the Initial Grant Date vest and become exercisable in 20%
increments annually beginning on the first anniversary of the date the grantee
first became a Non-Employee Director. An option may not be exercised unless the
grantee has remained continuously in service as a director since the date of
grant of such option. In the event service of a grantee as a director is
terminated other than by reason of death,"Disability" (as defined in the
Non-Employee Directors Plan) or for "Cause" (as defined in the Non-Employee
Directors Plan), all options of such grantee may be exercised within one year
after such cessation to the extent such options are then exercisable; provided,
however, that if the termination of such grantee's service was for Cause, all
options of such grantee shall terminate. In the event the Non-Employee Director
ceases to be a director for reasons of death or Disability, or if the
Non-Employee Director dies within three months after the termination of such
grantee's services other than for Cause, all options of such grantee will be
exercisable within one year after the date of such death or Disability, as the
case may be, to the extent such options are then exercisable. The Non-Employee
Directors Plan also provides for acceleration of the exercisability of options
in the event of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Non-Employee Directors
Plan).

     The Board may at any time and from time to time suspend, terminate, modify
or amend the Non-Employee Directors Plan; provided however, that the
Non-Employee Directors Plan may not be amended more than once during any
six-month period other than to comply with changes to the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended, or the rules or regulations thereunder. In addition, no such
change may adversely affect any option previously granted, except with the
written consent of the grantee.

     No options may be granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan on or after
November 17, 2002.

     As of November 17, 1992, a nonqualified stock option to purchase 10,000
Common Shares was automatically granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan to
each of Messrs. Cisneros, Dunham, Siu, Spievack and Phillip Cohen, the
Non-Employee Directors as of such date. Such options became 100% vested, other
than the option granted to Mr. Cisneros which became 20% vested. The exercise
price per share of these options is $8.375, which was the closing market price
of the Common Shares on

                                       19

<PAGE>

the day prior to the grant of the options. Each of Messrs. Taylor, Marion and
Bratton were automatically granted on March 19, 1993 an option to purchase
10,000 Common Shares, with an exercise price of $10.50, the closing market price
of the Common Shares on March 18, 1993. Mr. Levy was automatically granted on
April 14, 1993 an option to purchase 10,000 Common Shares, with an exercise
price of $9.50, the closing price of the Common Shares on April 13, 1993. An
additional option to purchase 2,500 Common Shares, with an exercise price of
$10.875, the closing price of the Common Shares on November 1, 1993, was granted
to each of Messrs. Taylor, Marion, Bratton, Levy, Siu, Spievack and Cisneros on
November 1, 1993. Subject to shareholder approval, automatic grants will no
longer be made annually on November 1, and instead each February and August,
beginning in 1994, an option to purchase 2,500 Common Shares will be granted to
each Non-Employee Director serving on the Board at such times. The automatic
grants in February and August in lieu of the November grants are conditioned
upon, and will become effective only upon approval of the amendment to the Non-
Employee Directors Plan by the shareholders.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     The following discussion of certain relevant federal income tax effects
applicable to nonqualified stock options granted under the Non-Employees
Director Plan is a brief summary only, and reference is made to the Code, and
the regulations and interpretations issued thereunder for a complete statement
of all relevant federal tax provisions.

  Nonqualified Stock Options

     In the case of nonqualified stock options, generally the option holder will
not be taxed upon grant of the option but, rather, at the time of exercise of
such option, will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of
the fair market value of the Common Shares purchased over the option price.
However, with respect to Common Shares received upon such exercise by an option
holder (including all of the Non-Employee Directors participating in the
Non-Employee Directors Plan) whose sale of Common Shares at a profit could
subject the option holder to suit under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act,
recognition of income for federal income tax purposes is postponed for as long
as the sale of the Common Shares could expose the option holder to such suit.
Upon the lapse of such liability, the option holder will recognize ordinary
income in an amount equal to any excess of the fair market value of the Common
Shares at that time over the option price unless the option holder elects (not
later than 30 days after acquiring such Common Shares) to include in income
currently the difference between the fair market value of such Common Shares at
the time of exercise and the option price. If such election is made, no
additional taxable income will be recognized by such option holder at the time
the restriction lapses. The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction at the
time and to the extent that income is recognized by such option holder.

     As a result of recent changes in the rules under Section 16(b) of the 1934
Act, unless exercise of a nonqualified stock option occurs prior to the
expiration of the six-month period following the grant of the option, there
should be no period during which the sale of Common Shares at a profit would
subject the option holder to suit under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act.
Accordingly, recognition of income will generally not be postponed beyond the
date of such exercise. If, however, a nonqualified stock option is exercised
within six months after the date of its grant, in the absence of the
above-described election, recognition of income would occur six months after the
date on which the option was granted.

     If Common Shares acquired upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option
are later sold or exchanged, then the difference between the sales price and the
fair market value of such Common Shares on the date of exercise is taxable as
long-term or short-term capital gain or loss (if the Common Shares are a capital
asset in the hands of the employee), as the case may be.

     The foregoing constitutes a brief summary of the principal federal income
tax consequences of transactions based on current federal income tax laws. This
summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not describe state, local or
foreign tax consequences.

               RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The Board of Directors has again selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche to
serve as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December
25, 1994 and proposes ratification by shareholders of the selection. The firm,
which has acted as independent auditors of the Company's accounts since 1985,
has reported to the Company that none of its members has any direct financial
interest or material indirect financial interest in the Company (other than as
independent certified public accountants).

     If shareholders do not ratify the reappointment of Deloitte & Touche, the
selection of independent certified public accountants will be reconsidered by
the Board of Directors.

     It is anticipated that representatives of Deloitte & Touche will attend the
Annual Meeting. Such persons will be afforded the opportunity to make a
statement if they desire to do so and/or respond to appropriate questions from
shareholders.

            THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE RATIFICATION
                         OF THE SELECTION OF SUCH FIRM

                             SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the Company's 1995 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the provisions of Rule 14a-8 of the SEC,
promulgated under the 1934 Act, must be received by the Company at its principal
executive offices by December 19, 1994 for inclusion in the Company's proxy
statement and form of proxy relating to such meeting. In addition, the By-Laws
of the Company provide that for business to be properly brought before an Annual
Meeting by a shareholder, including the nomination of persons for election to
the Board, the shareholder, in general, must have given notice thereof in
writing to the Secretary of the Company not less than 50 nor more than 75 days
prior to such meeting, provided, however, that in the event that less than 65
days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received
not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which
such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public
disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Such notice may be given
notwithstanding the fact that the Company did not receive the intended proposal
in time for inclusion in its proxy statement and form of proxy pursuant to Rule
14a-8.

     3. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, and
shall, at all times, be administered to satisfy the provisions of Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act or any successor thereof.

     The Committee shall have the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan,
such powers to include the authority to prescribe the form of the agreements
embodying awards of Options made under the Plan. The Committee shall, subject to
and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, have the authority
to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either
specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the
administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; and to
make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.

     The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more

persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or

time remove one or more Committee members and substitute others. One member of
the Committee shall be selected by the Board as chairman. The Committee shall

<PAGE>

All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members
either present in person or participating by conference telephone at any meeting
or by written consent. The Committee may appoint a secretary and make such rules
and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable, and
shall keep minutes of its meetings.

     No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted
hereunder.

     4. Eligibility. Each member of the Board who is a Non-Employee Director
shall be granted Options in accordance with Section 6 hereof. The adoption of
this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Non-Employee Director any right to be
granted an Option to purchase shares of Common Stock, other than in accordance
with the terms of this Plan.

     5. Common Stock Subject to the Plan. The stock subject to Options granted
hereunder shall be shares of Common Stock. Such shares may, in whole or in part,
be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or that may be
reacquired by TPI. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which
Options may be granted from time to time under the Plan shall not exceed
150,000. The limitation established by the preceding sentence shall be subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 6(k) hereof.

     In the event that any outstanding Option under the Plan should for any
reason expire, be cancelled or be terminated without having been exercised in
full, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such
Option shall (unless the Plan shall have been terminated) become available for
subsequent grants of Options under the Plan.

     6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Each Option granted pursuant to the
Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement (the "Agreement") between TPI and
the Grantee in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time,
which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

          (a) INITIAL GRANTS. On November 17, 1992 (the "Initial Grant Date"),
     each Non-Employee Director as of such date (a "Current Director") shall be
     granted automatically, without action by the Committee, an Option to
     purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock.

          (b) GRANTS TO NEW NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. Each Non-Employee Director
     (a "New Director") who, after the Initial Grant Date, is elected to the
     Board for the first time by the shareholders of TPI at any special or
     annual meeting of shareholders shall, at the time such Non-Employee
     Director is elected and duly qualified, be granted automatically, without
     action by the Committee, an Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common
     Stock.

          (c)  ANNUAL GRANTS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. On the first business
     day of November 1993, each Current Director who is a Non-Employee Director
     on such date, shall be granted automatically, without action by the
     Committee, an Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. On the first
     business day of each February beginning in 1994, each Non-Employee Director
     on such date, shall be granted automatically, without action by the
     Committee, an Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock. On the first
     business day of each August beginning in 1994, each Non-Employee Director
     on such date shall be granted automatically, without action by the
     Committee, an option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock.

          (d) TYPE OF OPTION. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be a
     "nonqualified stock option" which is not qualified under Section 422 of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

          (e) OPTION PRICE. The Option Price of each Option granted under the
     Plan shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value
     of the shares of Common Stock subject to

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

     such Option on the date of grant thereof. The Option Price shall be subject
     to adjustment as provided in Section 6(k) hereof.

          (f) MEDIUM AND TIME OF PAYMENT. The Option Price shall be paid in
     full, at the time of exercise, in certified or bank check or cash.

          (g) TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Options granted under the Plan shall
     be exercisable as to twenty percent (20%) of the shares subject thereto on
     the first anniversary of the date of grant and shall become exercisable as
     to an additional twenty percent (20%) of the shares subject thereto on each
     of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of such date of grant;
     provided, however, that the Options granted on the Initial Grant Date shall
     vest as to each Current Director as if the grant had been made on the date
     such Current Director was elected to the Board. An Option shall be
     exercisable for a period of ten (10) years from the date of grant of such
     Option; provided, however, that the exercise period shall be subject to
     earlier termination as provided in Sections 6(h) and 6(i) hereof. An Option
     may be exercised, as to any or all full shares of Common Stock as to which
     the Option has become exercisable, at any time prior to expiration;
     provided that, in no case may an Option be exercised as to less than one
     hundred (100) shares at any one time (or the remaining shares covered by
     the Option if less than one hundred (100) shares). An Option shall be
     exercised by the delivery by the holder thereof, of written notice of such
     exercise to TPI at its principal office (attention of the Secretary).

          (h) TERMINATION. Except as provided in this Section 6(h) and in
     Section 6(i) hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee is
     then in service as a director of the Company and unless the Grantee has
     remained continuously in such service as a director since the date of grant
     of the Option. In the event that the service of a Grantee as a director
     shall terminate (other than by reason of death or Disability), all Options
     of such Grantee that are exercisable at the time of such termination may,
     unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised
     within one year after such termination; provided, however, that if the
     service of a Grantee as a director of the Company shall terminate for
     Cause, all Options theretofore granted to such Grantee, shall, to the
     extent not theretofore exercised, terminate forthwith. Nothing in the Plan
     or in any Agreement shall confer upon an individual any right to continue
     in service as a director of the Company or interfere in any way with the
     right of the Company to terminate such service.

          (i) DEATH OR DISABILITY OF GRANTEE. If a Grantee shall die while in
     service as a director of the Company or within three (3) months after the
     termination of such Grantee's service, other than for Cause, or if the
     Grantee's service as a director shall terminate by reason of Disability,
     all Options theretofore granted to such Grantee (to the extent otherwise
     exercisable at the time of death or termination of service) may, unless
     earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the
     Grantee or by the Grantee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to
     exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason of
     the death or Disability of the Grantee, at any time within one year after
     the date of death or Disability of the Grantee.

          (j) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Options granted under the Plan
     shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
     and distribution, and Options may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
     Grantee, only by the Grantee or by his or her guardian or legal
     representative.

          (k) EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHANGES.

             (1) If there is any change in the number of shares of Common Stock
        through the declaration of extraordinary dividends, recapitalization,
        stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares, or in the
        event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of TPI (an
        "Asset Sale") or the merger or consolidation of TPI with or into another
        corporation (a "Merger"), or in the event of other similar transactions,
        the number of shares of Common Stock available for Options, the number
        of such shares covered by outstanding Options,

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

        and/or the price per share of such Options shall be proportionately
        adjusted by the Committee to reflect such change; provided, however,
        that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be
        eliminated. In the event of any other extraordinary corporate
        transaction, including but not limited to distributions of cash or other
        property to TPI's shareholders, the Committee shall equitably adjust
        outstanding Options to preserve, but not increase, the benefits of such
        Options.

             (2) In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of TPI, in the
        event of any corporate separation or division, including, but not
        limited to, split-up, split-off or spin-off, or in the event of a Merger
        or Asset Sale or in the event of other similar transactions, the
        Committee shall provide that the Grantee of each Option then exercisable
        shall have the right to exercise such Option (at its then Option Price)
        solely for the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities,
        property, cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such
        dissolution, liquidation, or corporate separation or division, or
        Merger, Asset Sale or similar transaction by a Grantee of the number of
        shares of Common Stock for which such Option might have been exercised
        immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, or corporate
        separation or division, Merger, Asset Sale or similar transaction.

             (3) If while unexercised Options remain outstanding under the Plan,
        there is a "Change in Control" of TPI (as defined below), all Options
        shall be exercisable in full, whether or not otherwise exercisable.
        Following such "Change in Control", the Committee shall, in the case of
        a Merger or Asset Sale, promptly make an appropriate adjustment to the
        number and class of shares of Common Stock available for Options, and to
        the amount and kind of shares or other securities or property receivable
        upon exercise of any outstanding Options after the effective date of
        such transaction, and the price thereof.

             For purposes of the Plan, a "Change in Control" of TPI shall be
        deemed to have occurred at such time (i) as any Person other than one or
        more Permitted Holders, together with its Affiliates or Associates, is
        or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, through a
        purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction, of shares of capital
        stock of the Corporation entitling such Person to exercise 50% or more
        of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock of the
        Corporation entitled to vote in elections of directors, or (ii) as a
        majority of the Board are not Continuing Directors.

             (4) Paragraphs (2) and (3) of this Section 6(k) shall not apply to
        a Merger in which TPI is the surviving corporation and shares of Common
        Stock are not converted into or exchanged for stock, securities of any
        other corporation, cash or any other thing of value. Notwithstanding the
        preceding sentence, in case of any Merger of another corporation into
        TPI in which TPI is the surviving corporation and in which there is a
        reclassification or change (including a change to the right to receive
        cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock (other than a
        change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result
        of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in such shares
        into two or more classes or series of shares), the Committee shall
        provide that the Grantee of each Option then exercisable shall have the
        right to exercise such Option solely for the kind and amount of shares
        of stock and other securities (including those of any new direct or
        indirect parent of TPI), property, cash or any combination thereof
        receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger
        by the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such
        Option might have been exercised.

             (5) In the event of a change in the Common Stock of TPI as
        presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all of its
        authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares with a
        different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any
        such change shall be deemed to be the Common Stock within the meaning of
        the Plan.

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

             (6) To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or
        securities of TPI, such adjustments shall be made by the Committee,
        whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
        conclusive.

             (7) Except as heretofore expressly provided in this Section 6(k),
        the Grantee shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
        consolidation of shares of stock of any class or the payment of any
        stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares
        of stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation,
        Merger or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation; and any
        issue by TPI of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
        into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment
        by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of
        shares of Common Stock subject to the Option. The grant of an Option
        pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of
        TPI to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes
        of its capital or business structures or to merge or to consolidate or
        to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or part of its business
        or assets.

          (l) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. A Grantee or a transferee of an Option
     shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by
     the Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him or
     her for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or
     extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or
     distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date
     such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 6(k)
     hereof.

          (m) OTHER PROVISIONS. The Plan and the Agreements authorized
     thereunder shall contain such other provisions, including, without
     limitation, the imposition of restrictions upon the exercise of an Option,
     as shall be required to cause the Plan to at all times comply with the
     requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor thereof.

     7. Agreement by Optionee Regarding Withholding Taxes. If the Committee
shall so require, as a condition of exercise, each Grantee shall agree that--

          (a) no later than the date of exercise of any Option granted
