In the absence of instructions, shares represented by valid Proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth herein. At any time prior to the voting, a Proxy may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary of the Company or by subsequently filing another properly executed Proxy.

The 1991 Director Incentive Compensation Plan of MagneTek, Inc. authorizes the grant of stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to the Company's directors. Under one part of the plan, Messrs. Galef, Kotchian and Nevin were granted SARs at base prices reflecting stock trading prices in 1990, when the Board of Directors initially determined to provide performance-based compensation to directors. These grants become effective and exercisable on specified dates if the grantee is serving as a director on such dates. Under this part of the plan, Mr. Galef received SARs with respect to 31,250 shares at a base price of $9.31 per share and 70,000 shares at a base price of $10.00 per share for fiscal 1992, 31,250 shares with a base price of $9.31 per share and 35,000 shares with a base price of $10.00 per share for fiscal 1993, 31,250 shares with a base price of $9.31 per share and 35,000 shares with a base price of $10.00 per share for fiscal 1994, and 31,250 shares with a base price of $9.31 per share for fiscal 1995. Also under this part of the plan, each of Messrs. Kotchian and Nevin received SARs with respect to 5,000 shares - - --------- (1) The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year which ends on the Sunday nearest June 30. Accordingly, the Company's 1994 fiscal year ended on July 3, 1994 and contained 53 weeks. 5 for fiscal 1992, 2,500 shares for fiscal 1993 and 2,500 shares for fiscal 1994, all at a base price of $10.00 per share. This part of the plan was amended during fiscal 1994 to add SAR grants to Mr. Kofmehl with respect to 11,500 shares for each of the fiscal years 1995 through 1998, all at a base price of $14.56 per share. The other part of the plan provides that each non-employee, non-officer director on the last day of any fiscal year ending between 1991 and 2000, inclusive, shall be granted SARs with respect to 4,000 shares with a base price of the fair market value of the shares at grant, 1,000 of which will vest at the end of each of the four following fiscal years, if such person remains a non-employee, non-officer director on such date. Under this provision of the plan, Messrs. Dean, Kofmehl, Kotchian, Nevin and Ruck were each granted SARs with respect to 4,000 shares for fiscal 1994. Certain significant transactions involving the Company or its stock will accelerate the granting and vesting of all SARs then scheduled to be granted or already granted but unvested. SARs expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable for cash only. 1991 DISCRETIONARY DIRECTOR INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN. The 1991 Discretionary Director Incentive Compensation Plan of MagneTek, Inc. authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant SARs to the Company's non-employee directors who are not members of the Committee. The Compensation Committee selects the non-employee directors to whom the SARs will be granted from time to time, determines the number of shares to be subject to such SARs and determines the terms and conditions of such SARs, including when they become exercisable. The base price of the shares of Common Stock subject to the SARs is also set by the committee but may not be less than the fair market value of such shares on the grant date. Certain significant transactions involving the company or its stock will accelerate the vesting of all SARs then outstanding. SARs expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable for cash only. In fiscal 1994, Mr. Galef received SARs with respect to 57,500 shares at a base price of $17.56 per share and 250,000 shares at a base price of $14.56 per share, and Mr. Ruck received SARs with respect to 46,000 shares at a base price of $14.56 per share. 6 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPENSATION SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE.

(the "Plan"). See "Company Proposals -- Proposal 2." The following summary of the Plan describes it as proposed to be amended and restated. The Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights, as restricted or unrestricted stock or at the end of the term of restricted stock rights to any executive, key employees of the Company and non-employee Directors who are not members of the Compensation Committee (except that non-employees may not be granted incentive stock options). The Compensation Committee generally approve grants under the Plan. Under the proposed amendment, the plan will provide that the maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may be made under the plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance under the plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% (one and one-half percent) of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993; plus (C) annual amounts equal to 3% (three percent) of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal year 1994 and each full or partial fiscal year thereafter that the Plan is in effect. Under the current plan, the maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may be made under the plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance under the plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the last day of the fiscal year preceding each full or partial fiscal year in which the Plan is in effect. Any unused portion of the foregoing 1,250,000 shares or the foregoing percentage limit, together with any shares which become available due to the expiration or cancellation of options or similar events under the plan, is carried forward and available for grant in succeeding fiscal years. Under the proposed amendment, to ensure the future ability to issue Incentive Stock Options under the Plan, the maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall not exceed the 1,250,000 shares originally authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. Options may be either incentive stock options under the Code or non-qualified stock options. Options are exercisable for a maximum period of ten years at an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value in the case of incentive stock options) awarded to individual owning more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company. The exercise price may be paid in cash or, with the consent of the Compensation Committee, with shares of Common Stock or by means of a full recourse promissory note bearing interest and payable on such terms as may be prescribed by the Compensation Committee. Each option becomes exercisable at such times and in such installments as prescribed by the Compensation Committee. Certain significant transactions involving the Company or its stock will make the options granted under this plan exercisable immediately. The stock options are non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. From time to time, the Company will authorize the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of sufficient shares to be available upon the exercise of options or other awards under the Plan. As of July 27, 1994, only non-qualified stock options and restricted stock had been granted under the Plan. As of such date, options to purchase a total of 2,216,500 shares had been granted to employees of the Company and were outstanding. Of such options, (i) Mr. Canova received 47,000, (ii) Mr. Davis received 160,000, (iii) Mr. Dundon received 165,000, (iv) Mr. Reiland received 155,000, (v) all current executive officers as a group received 855,500, (vi) all current directors who are not executive officers, as a group, received 263,750, and (vii) all employees who are not executive officers, as a group, received 1,097,250. Such amounts exclude options that have been forfeited but includes options that have been exercised. Any amendments to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan (except for anti-dilution adjustments), to modify the eligibility requirements, to reduce the minimum option price for the shares or to extend the termination date of the Plan require the approval of the stockholders of the Company. In all other respects, the Plan can be amended, suspended or terminated by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. No such amendment, suspension or termination 9 (including the adoption of the Plan) may, however, affect the rights or obligations of the holders of outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock rights or performance units without the consent of such holders. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES The following is a brief description of the federal income tax treatment which will generally apply to awards granted under the Plan, based on federal income tax laws in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement. The exact federal income tax treatment of awards will depend on the specific circumstances of the recipient. No information is provided herein with respect to estate, inheritance, gift, state or local tax laws, although there may be certain tax consequences upon the receipt or exercise of an award or the disposition of any acquired shares under those laws. RECIPIENTS OF AWARDS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR PERSONAL TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO ALL CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM THE AWARDS. NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. Holders of non-qualified options do not realize income as a result of the grant of the option, but normally recognize compensation income upon exercise of the option to the extent that the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option exceeds the aggregate option exercise price paid. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Holders of incentive stock options will not be considered to have received taxable income upon either the grant of the option or its exercise. Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares received upon exercise of the option, long-term capital gain will normally be recognized in the full amount of the difference between the amount realized and the option exercise price if no disposition of the shares take place after at least (i) two years from the date of grant of the option or (ii) one year from the date of transfer of the shares to the optionee. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of the one-year or two-year periods, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date on which the option is exercised will be taxed as ordinary income; the balance of the gain, if any, will be taxed as capital gain. If the shares are disposed of before the expiration of the one-year or two-year periods and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of exercise, the employee's ordinary income is limited to the amount realized less the option exercise price paid. Upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the amount by which the fair market value of the purchased shares at the time of exercise exceeds the option exercise price will be a positive adjustment in the calculation of the optionee's "alternative minimum taxable income" ("AMTI") in the year of exercise. The "alternative minimum tax" imposed on individual taxpayers is generally equal to 26% of the individual's AMTI (reduced by certain exemption amounts) up to $175,000 and 28% of the AMTI (as so reduced) in excess of $175,000. If the shares so acquired are disposed of in the same year, there should be no "item of tax preference" arising from the option exercise. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. On the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the amount which the participant is paid, whether in cash or in shares of Common Stock (valued at their then fair market value), is generally taxable to the participant as ordinary income. RESTRICTED STOCK. A participant receiving an award of restricted stock will normally not recognize income until the forfeiture restrictions with respect to such stock expire or are removed, unless the participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code (an "83(b) Election") within 30 days after the receipt of the restricted shares. The amount of income recognized at that time will equal the then fair market value of the stock (less any amount paid by the holder for the stock) and will normally be characterized as ordinary income. If, however, the participant makes an 83(b) Election within 30 days of the receipt of the restricted shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock received over the amount paid by the holder for the stock, determined without regard to forfeiture restrictions which will eventually expire. Gain or loss realized subsequently on the sale or other disposition of such stock will normally be taxable as capital gain or loss, respectively. If a holder of an option 10 is a director, officer or stockholder subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (an "Insider"), the timing of income recognition (including the date used to compute the fair market value of stock) with respect to restricted stock may be deferred until the earlier of the following two dates (the "16(b) Date"): (i) six months after the date of grant or (ii) a disposition of the shares of Common Stock, unless the Insider makes a valid 83(b) Election. UNRESTRICTED STOCK. A participant receiving an award of unrestricted stock will normally recognize ordinary income equal to the then fair market value of the stock (less any amount paid by the holder for the stock). RESTRICTED STOCK RIGHTS. A participant receiving an award of restricted stock rights will normally recognize ordinary income at the time that Common Stock is issued to such participant at the end of the term of such restricted stock rights. The amount of income recognized will equal the then fair market value of such stock. PERFORMANCE UNITS. A participant receiving an award of performance units will normally recognize ordinary income upon receipt of cash or shares of Common Stock at the end of the performance period relating to such performance units. If the participant receives shares of Common Stock at the end of a performance period, the amount of income recognized will equal the then fair market value of such shares. TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY. As a general rule, the Company (or other employer corporation) will be entitled to a deduction in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the participant in connection with the options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock rights, unrestricted stock or performance units that may be awarded under the plan. The Company (or other employer corporation) will generally be required to withhold taxes on such income when recognized. Participants generally will not recognize ordinary income in connection with incentive stock options provided they satisfy the applicable post-exercise holding period; accordingly, the Company (or other employer corporation) will generally not be able to claim a deduction with respect to incentive stock options under the plan. In certain instances the Company may be denied a deduction for compensation (including compensation attributable to awards made under the Plan) to certain officers of the Company to the extent the compensation exceeds $1 million in a given year. The closing sale price for Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 1994 was $13.13. Proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of options or otherwise under the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes. MISCELLANEOUS TAX ISSUES. With certain exceptions, an individual may not deduct investment-related interest to the extent such interest exceeds the individual's net investment income for the year. Investment interest generally includes interest paid on indebtedness incurred to purchase shares of Common Stock. Interest disallowed under this rule may be carried forward to and deducted in later years, subject to the same limitations. Special rules will apply in cases where a recipient of an award pays the exercise or purchase price of the award or applicable withholding tax obligations under the Plan by delivering previously owned shares of Common Stock or by reducing the amount of shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the award. The surrender or withholding of such shares will in certain circumstances result in the recognition of income with respect to such shares. The terms of the agreements pursuant to which specific awards are made to employees under the Plan may provide for accelerated vesting or payment of an award in connection with a change in ownership or control of the Company. In that event and depending upon the individual circumstances of the recipient, certain amounts with respect to such awards may constitute "excess parachute payments" under the "golden parachute" provisions of the Code. Pursuant to these provisions, a recipient will be subject to a 20% excise tax on any "excess parachute payments" and the Company will be denied any deduction with respect to such 11 payment. Recipients of awards should consult their tax advisors as to whether accelerated vesting of an award in connection with a change of ownership or control of the Company would give rise to an excess parachute payment. MAGNETEK FLEXCARE PLUS RETIREMENT PENSION PLAN The MagneTek FlexCare Plus Retirement Pension Plan (the "Retirement Plan") is a defined benefit retirement plan which covers employees of the Company (excluding employees of certain divisions and certain union employees). The Retirement Plan was established upon the merger of certain defined benefit retirement plans previously maintained by the Company. Although the Retirement Plan is a defined benefit plan, each non-union participating employee's accrued benefit is determined by the "cash balance" credited to the employee's retirement account. Such account is maintained for bookkeeping purposes only. "Contribution" amounts are credited to each employee's retirement account annually ranging from 3.5% to 4.5% of an employee's compensation up to the "integration level" and from 7% to 9% of compensation in excess of the "integration level" (as of January 1, 1994, compensation over $150,000 may not be considered). The actual percentage varies depending upon years of vesting service with the Company. The "integration level," which for calendar 1993 was $22,500, may vary annually. "Interest," based upon the rates payable on certain U.S. Treasury debt instruments, is also credited to the employee's bookkeeping account each year. Distributions are made in the event of retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment. Distributions are paid to vested participants in the form of a ten-year certain life annuity (unless a joint and survivor annuity is required or an alternative form of payment is elected) in a monthly amount equal to the balance of the employee's retirement account, divided by 120. The estimated annual benefits payable to Messrs. Davis, Dundon and Reiland under the Retirement Plan upon retirement at normal retirement age (in life only form) are approximately $39,983, $118,800 and $78,738, respectively (assuming continued compensation at the present amounts (subject to the $150,000 limit) until normal retirement age and continued crediting of interest at the current rate, and disregarding probable future cost-of-living increases to the limit on the amount of compensation that may be taken into account and to the Social Security wage base). Messrs. Galef and Canova do not participate in the plan. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION There are no interlocks between the Company and other entities involving the Company's executive officers and directors and those of other entities. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting entirely of non-employee directors, approves all policies under which compensation is paid or awarded to the Company's executive officers. GENERAL. The Company's compensation program for executive officers (except the Chief Executive Officer, discussed below) currently consists of annual base salary and bonus as well as awards of stock options. Salary and bonus payments are primarily designed to reward current and past performance. Stock options are awarded to provide incentives for superior long-term future performance as well as for retention of executive officers. All stock option awards are made under the 1987 Stock Option Plan or the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan, each of which was approved by the Company's stockholders. Stock option awards are directly linked to the stockholders' interests since the potential value of the awards to the executive officers is directly related to the future price of the Company's Common Stock. The Committee's decisions concerning the base salary and total cash compensation (base salary plus bonus) of individual executive officers during fiscal year 1994 were made primarily in the context of executive performance in light of the Company's circumstances, historical practice and the current competitive environment. The Compensation Committee considered compensation data from three principal sources: (i) data respecting manufacturing companies with sales comparable to the Company's ("Comparable Companies"), (ii) data compiled respecting firms the Company views as its most significant competitors and (iii) data respecting companies with sales comparable to the Company's extracted for the Committee's use 12 by Hewitt Associates, an independent compensation consulting firm, from a broad-based survey. The Committee found that the executive officers' compensation levels were consistent with companies included in each of the foregoing samples. BONUSES. In determining the amount and form of executive officer compensation to be paid in fiscal year 1994, the Committee considered the extraordinary challenges and burdens engendered by the restructuring program, in addition to performance over the most recent fiscal year. Within this framework, for fiscal year 1994 bonuses the Committee adopted the following formula (which may vary from year to year) at the beginning of the fiscal year for each executive officer except Mr. Galef: (i) 25% of the individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon achievement of Company-wide after-tax net income relative to the performance target developed by management and approved by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year, (ii) 50% of the individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon achievement of operating profit for specific business units within the individual executive officer's management responsibilities relative to the performance target developed by management and approved by the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year, (iii) 10% of the individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon achievement of Company-wide inventory turnover relative to the performance target developed at the beginning of the fiscal year and (iv) 15% of the individual bonus award for the executive officer is based upon achievement of individual business objectives and performance targets for each executive officer developed at the beginning of the fiscal year. Due to the impact of the restructuring and to the Company's performance during fiscal 1994, the participating executive officers generally did not achieve the individual bonus awards based upon Company-wide performance, specific business unit performance or inventory turnover. However, each of the participating executive officers achieved the individual bonus award based upon individual achievement and performance targets. A discretionary bonus was also awarded to the executive officers based upon the Committee's qualitative judgment as to each individual executive officer's performance in light of the significantly increased managerial duties performed by these officers as a result of corporate downsizing and the restructuring program. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. Mr. Galef's services as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are provided to the Company in accordance with the provisions of a new management agreement with The Spectrum Group, Inc. ("Spectrum"), effective as of July 1, 1994 (the "Spectrum Agreement"). Under this agreement, Spectrum provides management services to the Company at a current annual fee as of the end of fiscal 1994 of approximately $732,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, Spectrum or its designee is paid an annual management bonus in an amount to be determined by, and within the discretion of, the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef was paid a $177,500 bonus for services rendered during fiscal 1994. Such payment also reflects the Committee's evaluation of Mr. Galef's personal strengths and past performance. In prior years, a similar agreement was in effect, pursuant to which Spectrum received $684,000 and $710,000, respectively, for fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992. The prior agreement provided for Spectrum or its designee to be paid an annual management bonus equal to 50% of the highest bonus paid to any participant in the Company's bonus plan. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef was paid $161,000 and $150,000, respectively, for services rendered during fiscal 1993 and fiscal 1992. Mr. Galef, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and owner of Spectrum, has provided strategic management services to a variety of companies for more than 20 years. The Board of Directors of the Company considers the management services provided by Spectrum important to achieving its strategy. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee awarded a total of 389,000 non-qualified stock options to the executive officers during the Company's 1994 fiscal year under the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan. In awarding these non-qualified stock options, the Committee reviewed the number of shares previously granted to each executive officer, as well as the aggregate awards granted to all executive officers and associates of the Company, in light of a recent study prepared for the Company by Hewitt Associates. The size of the individual awards is determined with input from management and is designed to maintain competitiveness and promote long-term productivity from the executive officers. For a discussion of stock appreciation rights awarded to Mr. Galef in his capacity as a Director, see "Other Director Compensation." TAX DEDUCTIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS. The Committee has reviewed the Company's compensation plans with regard to the deduction limitation under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This Act 13 disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for any of the Named Officers, unless compensation is performance-based. The Committee has determined that no portion of anticipated compensation payable to any executive officer in 1994 would be non-deductible. The Committee will continue to address this issue when formulating compensation arrangements for executive officers, but believes that the deductibility of officer compensation in excess of the $1 million threshold is not likely to be an issue for the Company to address in the foreseeable future. The foregoing report on executive compensation is provided by the following directors who comprise the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors: Charles H. Dean, Jr. (Chairman) Paul J. Kofmehl Crocker Nevin 14 PERFORMANCE GRAPH Shown below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total return to stockholders of the Company's Common Stock, the Standard & Poors 500 Index ("S&P 500"), the Standard & Poors Electrical Equipment Index ("S&P Electrical") and the Dow Jones Electrical Components & Equipment Index ("Dow Jones Electrical") from June 30, 1989 to June 30, 1994. The Company believes that the S&P Electrical Index is comprised of companies which are more comparable to the Company than those comprising the Dow Jones Electrical Index, and will therefore use the S&P Electrical Index rather than the Dow Jones Electrical Index for comparison purposes in the future.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Effective as of July 1, 1994, the Company entered into a new management agreement (the "Spectrum Agreement") with The Spectrum Group, Inc. ("Spectrum") wherein Spectrum provides management services to the Company at a current annual fee as of the end of fiscal 1994 of approximately $732,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. Fees paid to Spectrum by the Company during fiscal 1994 for management services totaled $678,000, and total fees and expenses aggregated approximately $714,000. The Spectrum Agreement 15 provides for Spectrum or its designee to be paid an annual management bonus in an amount to be determined by, and within the discretion of, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to this provision, Mr. Galef was paid $177,500 for services rendered during fiscal 1994. Mr. Galef, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and owner of Spectrum, has provided strategic management services to a variety of companies for more than 20 years. The Board of Directors of the Company considers the management services provided by Spectrum important to achieving its present strategy. Mr. Ruck, who is a Director of the Company, serves as a consultant to the Company on various aspects of the Company's business and strategic issues. Mr. Ruck is paid $1,500 per day, plus expenses, for his services. Fees paid to Mr. Ruck by the Company during fiscal 1994 for his services totaled $145,500, and total fees and expenses aggregated approximately $171,019. In fiscal 1994 the Company paid $359,000 of remaining maintenance fees associated with an aircraft which it sold in the prior fiscal year. The aircraft was owned jointly with Spectrum until May 1993. Since the sale of the aircraft, the Company has used a different aircraft owned by a corporation owned by Mr. Galef. The Company paid $914,000 in fiscal 1994 for the use of such aircraft. The Company believes that the fees paid were equivalent to those that would be paid in an arm's-length transaction. The Company invested approximately $1.63 million in Spectrum Portfolio Partners, a California general partnership ("SPP") consisting of Mr. Galef, Mr. Perna, Spectrum, the Company and two other investors. Mr. Galef is the managing general partner of SPP. The partners other than the Company contributed, in the aggregate, approximately $1.73 million. SPP owns a $3.4 million limited partnership interest in a Delaware limited partnership which invests in business enterprises and other assets in Latin America and the Caribbean. During fiscal 1994 the Company caused the foregoing limited partnership to repurchase its interest at net asset value. The Company received proceeds of $3.9 million and recorded a $2.2 million profit on the investment. COMPANY PROPOSALS The following proposals will be submitted for stockholder consideration and voting at the Annual Meeting. PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has nominated and recommends for election as directors the following seven persons to serve for the ensuing year until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and thereafter until their respective successors are elected and have been qualified: Andrew G. Galef Dewain K. Cross Charles H. Dean, Jr. Paul J. Kofmehl A. Carl Kotchian Crocker Nevin Kenneth A. Ruck All of the nominees are presently directors of the Company except Mr. Cross. The enclosed Proxy will be voted in favor of the persons nominated unless otherwise indicated. If any of the nominees should be unable to serve or should decline to do so, the discretionary authority in the Proxy will be exercised to vote for a substitute or substitutes to be designated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any substitute nominee or nominees will be required. In the event that a nominee for director is proposed at the Annual Meeting, the enclosed Proxy may be voted in favor of or against such 16 nominee or any other nominee proposed by the Board of Directors unless otherwise indicated. Shares may not be voted cumulatively for election of directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES. PROPOSAL 2 ADOPTION OF SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 1989 INCENTIVE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN Under the existing terms of the 1989 Incentive Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), the Plan provides that the maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the last day of the fiscal year preceding each full or partial fiscal year in which the Plan is in effect, beginning with fiscal 1991. The Board of Directors has approved an amendment which would provide that the maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted or other awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of (A) the 1,250,000 shares previously authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan; plus (B) annual amounts equal to 1.5% (one and one-half percent) of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal years 1991, 1992 and 1993; plus (C) annual amounts equal to 3% (three percent) of the total issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the last day of fiscal year 1994 and each full or partial fiscal year thereafter that the Plan is in effect. Management believes that adoption of the amendment will increase the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and employees. In addition, the proposed amendment would provide that the maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued upon exercise of incentive stock options under the Plan shall not exceed 1,250,000, a technical amendment to permit the award of incentive stock options under the Plan in the future. To date, no incentive stock options have been issued under the Plan. The revised Plan will also contain certain other technical revisions. A copy of the revised Plan is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. Approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's shares voted at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED 1989 INCENTIVE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN. PROPOSAL 3 RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young to audit the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending July 2, 1995. In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors, this selection is being presented to stockholders for ratification at this meeting. The Company has been advised that neither Ernst & Young nor any of its partners holds any direct or indirect financial interest in the securities of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor have they had any connection with the Company or its subsidiaries during the past three years except as auditors. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. At that time they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's shares voted at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. 17 STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS No proposals have been submitted by stockholders for consideration at the Annual Meeting. Any proposal relating to a proper subject which an eligible stockholder of the Company may intend to present for action at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than July 30, 1995, to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

SECTION 3.2 QUALIFICATION OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted unless such Option, when granted, qualifies as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code. SECTION 3.3 GRANTING OF OPTIONS (a) The Committee shall from time to time, in its absolute discretion: (i) Determine which Employees are executive or other key Employees and select from among the executive or other key Employees or Directors (including those to whom Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and/or Restricted Stock Rights have been previously granted and/or Restricted Stock, Stock Awards and/or Performance Units have previously been issued under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should be granted Options; and (ii) Determine the number of shares to be subject to such Options granted to such selected executive or other key Employees or Directors, and determine whether such Options are to be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Options; and (iii) Determine the terms and conditions of such Options, consistent with the Plan. (b) Upon the selection of an executive or other key Employee or Director to be granted an Option, the Committee shall instruct the Secretary to issue such Option and may impose such conditions on the grant of such Option as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Committee may, in its discretion and on such terms as it deems appropriate, require as a condition on the grant of an Option that the Optionee surrender for cancellation some or all of the unexercised Options which have been previously granted to him. An Option the grant of which is conditioned upon such A-4 surrender may have an Option price lower (or higher) than the Option price of the surrendered Option, may cover the same (or a lesser or greater) number of shares as the surrendered Option, may contain such other terms as the Committee deems appropriate and shall be exercisable in accordance with its terms, without regard to the number of shares, price, Option period or any other term or condition of the surrendered Option. ARTICLE IV TERMS OF OPTIONS SECTION 4.1 OPTION AGREEMENT Each Option shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement, which shall be executed by the Optionee and an authorized Officer of the Company and which shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, consistent with the Plan. Stock Option Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to qualify such Options as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code. SECTION 4.2 OPTION PRICE The price of the shares subject to each Option shall be set by the Committee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the price per share for Non-Qualified Options shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares determined as of the date such Option is granted; (ii) the price per share for Incentive Stock Options other than those described in clause (iii) shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares determined as of the date such Option is granted; and (iii) in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of such shares determined as of the date such Option is granted in the case of an individual then owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent Corporation. SECTION 4.3 COMMENCEMENT OF EXERCISABILITY (a) Except as the Committee may otherwise provide, no Option may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after such Option is granted. (b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.3(a), 4.3(c) and 12.3, Options shall become exercisable at such times and in such installments (which may be cumulative) as the Committee shall provide in the terms of each Stock Option Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that by a resolution adopted after an Option is granted the Committee may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate and subject to Sections 4.3(c) and 12.3, accelerate the time at which such Option or any portion thereof may be exercised. (c) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at Termination of Employment shall thereafter become exercisable. (d) To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to which "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and any Parent Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options into account in the order in which they were granted. For purposes of this Section 4.3(d), the fair market value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted. SECTION 4.4 EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS (a) No Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events: (i) The expiration of ten years from the date the Option was granted; or A-5 (ii) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee owning (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the time the Incentive Stock Option was granted, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Parent Corporation, the expiration of five years from the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted; or (iii) Except in the case of any Optionee who is disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the expiration of three months from the date of the Optionee's Termination of Employment for any reason other than such Optionee's death unless the Optionee dies within said three-month period; or (iv) In the case of an Optionee who is disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the expiration of one year from the date of the Optionee's Termination of Employment for any reason other than such Optionee's death unless the Optionee dies within said one-year period; or (v) The expiration of one year from the date of the Optionee's death. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(a), the Committee shall provide, in the terms of each Stock Option Agreement, when such Option expires and becomes unexercisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide in the terms of Stock Option Agreements that Options expire immediately upon a Termination of Employment for any reason. SECTION 4.5 CONSIDERATION In consideration of the granting of the Option, the Optionee shall agree, in the written Stock Option Agreement, to remain in the employ of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after the Option is granted, or in the case of an Optionee who is a non-employee Director, to remain a Director for such period. Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary or to remain a Director or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company, its Parent Corporations and its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. SECTION 4.6 ADJUSTMENTS IN OUTSTANDING OPTIONS In the event that the outstanding shares of the stock subject to Options are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Company or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, stock dividend or combination of shares, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares as to which all outstanding Options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be exercisable, to the end that after such event the Optionee's proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in an outstanding Option shall be made without change in the total price applicable to the Option or the unexercised portion of the Option (except for any change in the aggregate price resulting from rounding-off of share quantities or prices) and with any necessary corresponding adjustment in Option price per share; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, each such adjustment shall be made in such manner as not to constitute a "modification" within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all Optionees, the Company and all other interested persons. SECTION 4.7 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ACQUISITION, LIQUIDATION OR DISSOLUTION (a) The Committee shall provide by the terms of each Option that, upon or in connection with the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the acquisition by another corporation or person of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or 40% or more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company: (i) If so provided in the relevant agreement relating to a merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets, liquidation or dissolution, such Option shall be either assumed or replaced by a substitute option, as applicable, issued by the successor or Parent Corporation resulting from such transaction, without any further action on the part of the Committee or the Optionee. A-6 (ii) If no provision is made as set forth in (i), or in the event of an acquisition of 40% or more of the Company's then outstanding voting stock, such Option shall become fully exercisable for a minimum of 30 days prior to such event. (iii) The foregoing provisions shall have no application to a merger in which (A) the Company is the surviving corporation, (B) no person or group acquires 40% or more of the Company's outstanding voting stock and (C) the shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding prior to the merger remain outstanding thereafter. (b) The Committee may make such determinations and adopt such rules and conditions as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate in connection with (i) any acceleration of exercisability pursuant to subsection (a)(ii), including, but not by way of limitation, provisions to ensure that any such acceleration and resulting exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the contemplated corporate transaction, and (ii) determinations regarding whether provisions for assumption or substitution have been made as defined in subsection (a)(i).
