Re: Notice of Nomination of Persons for Election as Directors

Dear Ms. Damask:

        I am, as of the date hereof, the record and beneficial owner of 100 shares of the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) of Tab Products Co. (the “Corporation”). I am therefore entitled to nominate persons for election as directors at the Corporation’s 2002 annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).

        In accordance with Article II, Section 11 of the Corporation’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), I am submitting this letter to nominate John W. Boustead, Mark J. Dessy, Watkins C. Johnston, Addison Lanier, II, David Pease, III, and myself (the “Nominees”) for election as directors at the Annual Meeting.

        Based upon publicly filed information available on the date hereof, I understand that seven directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. However, I request that you inform me promptly if there has been any change in such publicly filed information, including any increase in the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting (either because the Board of Directors is enlarged or otherwise), so that I can act promptly to determine whether to make further nomination(s). I hereby reserve the right to nominate additional nominees. Such additional nominations to be made by me, if any, are without prejudice to any position I may take with respect to a possible allegation that an attempt by the Corporation to increase the current size of the Board of Directors constitutes an unlawful manipulation of the Corporation’s corporate machinery. While it might not be possible under those circumstances to comply with the time periods of Article II, Section 11 of the Bylaws, I believe that the failure of the Corporation to permit additional nominations under those circumstances would be invalid and illegal. Similarly, if fewer than six directors are to be elected because the size of the Board of Directors is reduced, I request that you inform me promptly, so that I may notify you which of my six nominees listed herein will be so nominated.

        If this letter shall be deemed for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction to be ineffective with respect to the nomination of any Nominees at the Annual Meeting, or if any individual Nominee shall be unable to serve for any reason, this letter shall continue to be effective with respect to the remaining Nominee(s) and as to any replacement Nominee(s) selected by me.

        In accordance with Article II, Section 11 of the Bylaws, I hereby advise you that:

1. my name and address are set forth above; the names and addresses (business and residence) of the Nominees are set forth in Exhibits A-F;
   
   
2. I represent that, as of the date hereof, (i) I am the record and beneficial owner of 100 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors; (ii) I undertake to continue to hold such 100 shares of Common Stock through the record date for the Annual Meeting; and (iii) I intend to appear in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting to nominate the Nominees;
   
   
3. each of the Nominees has agreed to be nominated by me for election as a director, to be named in any proxy statement published by the Corporation or me, Hamilton Sorter Co., Inc. (“Hamilton Sorter”) or any affiliate of Hamilton Sorter pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and, if elected, to serve as a director of the Corporation. Except as indicated above and in Exhibits A-F, there are no arrangements or understandings between me or Hamilton Sorter and any of the Nominees and any other person or persons pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by me. You may note that I am the Chief Executive Officer of Hamilton Sorter and, through my relationship with Hamilton Sorter and ownership of shares of the Corporation, I am a member of the group of filers of the Amended Schedule 13D (defined below). You may also note that other Nominees, particularly Mr. Dessy and Mr. Johnston, are also members of this filing group;
   
   
4. the information regarding each of the Nominees that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC, had the nominee been nominated (or intended to be nominated) by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, is set forth in Exhibits A-F and such information is supplemented by information contained in the Schedule 13D filed by Hamilton Sorter on February 8, 2001, as amended (the “Amended Schedule 13D”);
   
   
5. the consents of each of the Nominees to be named as nominees in any proxy statement referred to above and to serve as a director of the Corporation, if so elected, are set forth in Exhibits A-F; and
   
   
6. I certify that none of the Nominees is now an officer or employee of the Corporation, and that each Nominee otherwise meets the qualifications to serve as a director of the Corporation prescribed in the Bylaws.

Very truly yours,


Ted Jaroszewicz

foregoing letter is acknowledged.
