FILINGS UNDER SECTION 16(A)

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's Directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of
a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership of such securities with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10%
beneficial owners are required by applicable regulations to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they filed.

Based solely upon a review of the copies of these forms furnished to the
Company and representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required, the Company believes that during 1995 all Directors, executive
officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable
filing requirements.

Annual Meeting to hold office for the ensuing year or until their successors are

the trusts upon the death of the insureds or the termination of the policies
by the trusts.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

The services of Edward Joseph Hussey and Michael F. Hussey as executive
officers of the Company are provided under employment agreements dated September
14, 1993. Both employment agreements are on an "at-will" basis terminable at any
time by the Company or the executive and provide for a base salary determined
and reviewed by the Company at least annually, the same types of benefits
accorded to other executives of the Company and for continuance of a split
dollar insurance plan during the period of employment and thereafter on
specified conditions. If termination of employment results from death, the
deceased executive's legal representative will be entitled to receive the earned
obligations under the employment agreements, including (i) full base salary
through the end of the then current fiscal year, (ii) any incentive payments for
the last fiscal year, and (iii) any previously deferred compensation (such
earned obligations, including those described in items (i) (ii) and (iii) are
referred to as "Accrued Obligations") and the split dollar insurance plan will
continue for the benefit of the executive's legal representative or designated
beneficiary . If termination of employment results from the executive's
disability or retirement, the executive will receive the Accrued Obligations and
the split dollar insurance plan shall be continued for the benefit of the

executive or the executive's legal representative or designated beneficiary. If
employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or
retirement, the executive will have no further rights under the employment
agreement nor to any benefits under the split dollar insurance plan.

SPLIT DOLLAR INSURANCE PLAN

The Company is a party to split dollar insurance plans effective June 11,
1993, which provide additional compensation to Edward Joseph Hussey and to
Michael F. Hussey in the form of cash compensation and in assisting certain
trusts established by them to pay premiums on certain policies of life insurance
owned by the trusts. Under the split dollar insurance plans the Company and the
trusts each pay part of the premium for those insurance policies. Upon the death
of the insureds, each trust has agreed to pay the Company an amount equal to all
premium payments made by the Company. Upon termination of either of the split
dollar insurance plans by the respective trust's surrender of the insurance
policy, delivery of notice of termination to the Company or failure to make a
required premium contribution, each trust has agreed to pay to the Company the
cash surrender value of the insurance policy, but not more than an amount equal
to all premium payments made by the Company relating to that policy.

COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES

The foundation of the executive compensation program is based on beliefs and
guiding principles designed to align compensation with business strategy,
company values and management initiatives. The program:

- Integrates compensation programs with both the company's annual and
longer-term strategic planning and measurement processes.

- Supports a performance-oriented environment that rewards performance not
only with respect to company goals but also company performance as
compared to that of industry performance levels.

- Attracts and retains key executives critical to the long-term success of
the company.

KEY EMPLOYEE BONUS PLAN

The Company's key employee bonus plan covers all key employees, including
all executive officers, of the Company. Participants are eligible to receive a
bonus established as a percentage of their base salary, which percentage may
depend upon the extent to which certain financial results are attained. Bonuses
are determined quarterly, on a cumulative basis, for each calendar year. Each
participant receives part of his bonus payment at the time the Company's
earnings reports for the applicable quarter are released to the public. The
balance of a participant's bonus is paid at the time the Company's annual
earnings are released to the public. Payments are made only if such participant
is employed by the Company on that date. Amounts paid and accrued under the Key
Employee Bonus Plan during 1995 are included in the compensation table above.

SHAREOWNER RETURN PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION

the cumulative total shareowner return on the Company's Class A and Class B
