Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. ------------------------------------------------- The total amount of funds used by Brynwood I to purchase the 1,390,000 shares of Common Stock directly acquired by it was $4,568,957. The purchase price for such shares of Common Stock was derived from Brynwood I's working capital. The total amount of funds used by Brynwood II to purchase the 278,001 shares of Common Stock directly acquired by it was $1,287,145.

Purpose of the Transaction. -------------------------- Of the 1,390,001 shares of Common Stock owned by Brynwood I, 883,334 shares were acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 16, 1996, between Brynwood I and the Company (the "1986 Agreement"). Pursuant to the 1986 Agreement, four members of the Company's seven-member board of directors resigned from office upon execution of the 1986 Agreement, the size of the board of directors was reduced to six members and Brynwood I designated four persons to the Company's board of directors. Brynwood I entered into the 1986 Agreement and purchased the shares pursuant thereto in order to enhance its investment in the Company by increasing its ability to influence control of the Company. Representatives or designees of Brynwood I continue to constitute a majority of the Company's directors. In addition, of the 1,390,001 shares of Common Stock owned by Brynwood I, 66,667 shares were acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 30, 1987, between Brynwood I and the Company (the "1987 Agreement"). The purchase was part of a financial restructuring of the Company, in which, among other things, a total of 333,334 shares of Common Stock were purchased (including the 66,667 shares purchased by Brynwood I) for a total consideration of $1,000,000 and the Company amended its existing debt facilities and obtained new credit facilities. The 1986 and 1987 Agreements provide to Brynwood I certain registration rights regarding shares of Common Stock, including the right on not more than two occasions to require the Company to effect the registration of all or any shares of Common Stock then owned by Brynwood I and the right to require the Company to use its best efforts to effect the registration of some minimum number of shares of Common Stock then owned by Brynwood I in the event the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Pursuant to an offering of subscription rights by the Company in June 1996, Brynwood I was entitled to purchase an additional 278,001 shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $4.63 per share. However, Brynwood I advised the Company that, due to liquidity limitations, it did not intend to exercise its rights to purchase such shares. Pursuant to a Standby Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 6, 1996, by and among the Company, Brynwood II and Messrs. Hartong and Niner (the "Standby Agreement"), Brynwood II purchased the 278,0001 shares of Common Stock that otherwise would have been available for purchase by Brynwood I. Pursuant to the Standby Agreement, the Company agreed that if, in connection with a proposed offer for sale, sale or other disposition by Brynwood II of the shares of Common Stock purchased by it pursuant to the Standby Agreement, delivery of a prospectus would be required under the Securities Act, then, upon the written request of Brynwood II on not more than two occasions, the Company will take such action, including, if necessary, the filing of a registration statement under the Act, as may be necessary and appropriate to make available a prospectus that will permit Brynwood II to effectuate the disposition of such shares. In addition, the Company granted to Brynwood II certain "piggy-back" registration rights to include such Common Stock, subject to certain limitations, in any other registration statement filed by the Company for its own account or the account of any of its security holders. Except as set forth above, the Beneficial Owners have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
