IN CONNECTION WITH THE 1999 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF GRC INTERNATIONAL, INC. This Proxy Statement is being furnished by Cilluffo Associates, L.P. ("Cilluffo Associates" or "we") to stockholders of GRC International, Inc. ("GRCI" or the "Company") in connection with a solicitation by Cilluffo Associates, Frank J.A. Cilluffo, Gen. Edward C. Meyer (Ret.) and the other Participants described below under "Certain Information Concerning Participants in the Solicitation." As more fully discussed below, Cilluffo Associates is soliciting proxies in connection with the 1999 Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Company and any adjournments thereof (the "1999 Annual Meeting") for the election of Neal B. Freeman, Richard N. Perle and Guy P. Wyser-Pratte (collectively, the "Cilluffo Associates Nominees") as directors of the Company, to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Cilluffo Associates believes that it was the largest holder of shares ("Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per share ("Common Stock") prior to the Company's reported issuance of 2,000,000 Shares in connection with the acquisition of Management Consulting & Research, Inc. ("MCR") on September 2, 1999, and that it is now the Company's second largest stockholder. Cilluffo Associates owns 13.9% of the Company's outstanding Shares. The Company has not yet announced the time or place of the 1999 Annual Meeting, but Cilluffo Associates expects that the Company will provide such information in due course. According to the New York Stock Exchange Weekly Bulletin dated September 10, 1999, the record date (the "Record Date") for the 1999 Annual Meeting is September 17, 1999, and the meeting date is November 4, 1999. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the 1999 Annual Meeting. The enclosed BLUE proxy card may be executed by holders of record as of the Record Date. You are urged to sign and date the enclosed BLUE proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope whether or not you attend the meeting. Any stockholder who executes and delivers such a proxy will have the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised, by filing with Cilluffo Associates, L.P., c/o MacKenzie Partners, Inc., the firm assisting Cilluffo Associates in this solicitation, at 156 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010, or with the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices at 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182, an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by appearing in person and voting at the 1999 Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying BLUE proxy card are first being sent or given to one or more stockholders on or about September [ ], 1999. The Company has reported in the proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 5, 1998 (the "1998 Annual Meeting") that, as of September 18, 1998, the record date for such meeting, the Company's outstanding voting securities consisted of 10,216,563 Shares. According to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999, there were 10,245,571 Shares outstanding on April 30, 1999 and, unless otherwise indicated, references herein to the percentage of outstanding Shares owned by any person were computed based upon such number of outstanding Shares as increased by 2,000,000 Shares which were issued by the Company in connection with the acquisition of MCR on September 2, 1999, according to Company press releases. Each Share is entitled to one vote, except that stockholders are entitled to cumulate their votes in electing directors. Under cumulative voting, each stockholder is entitled to the number of votes to which such stockholder's Shares would normally be entitled, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder then may cast all of such votes for a single candidate or may allocate them among as many candidates as the stockholder may choose. PROPOSAL FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS On August 5, 1999, Cilluffo Associates provided written notice to the Secretary of the Company of its nomination of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees for election to the Board. The proposed election of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees is referred to herein as the "Proposal." Such notice was provided pursuant to Section 4 of Article III of the Company's Bylaws, which sets forth certain requirements for stockholders intending to nominate candidates for election to the Board, including, in general, the requirement that a notice containing specified information be submitted to the Secretary of the Company not less than 10 and not more than 120 days prior to any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors. For information concerning the Cilluffo Associates Nominees, see "The Cilluffo Associates Nominees" below. In accordance with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Board of Directors is to consist of not less than seven (7) nor more than fourteen (14) directors, as may be determined by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board. The directors are to be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. At each annual meeting of stockholders, members of one of the classes, on a rotating basis, are elected for a three-year term. The Company's proxy statement in connection with the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "1998 Proxy Statement") contemplated a Board comprised of seven (7) directors, three (3) of whom have the terms that expire in 1999. A Company press release dated April 12, 1999 announced the election of a director to a new seat on the Board. A Company press release dated August 6, 1999 announced that another director will be nominated. Cilluffo Associates believes, based on the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, that if the directors whose terms expire in 1999 are each renominated by the Board for election at the 1999 Annual Meeting, then the director elected in accordance with the April 12, 1999 press release and the director potentially to be added in accordance with the August 6, 1999 press release should be members of the classes whose terms expire in 2000 and 2001. According to the 1998 Proxy Statement, three (3) directors are to be elected at the 1999 Annual Meeting. The Cilluffo Associates Nominees, if elected, would serve for the term expiring in 2002. If any additional directorships are to be voted upon at the 1999 Annual Meeting, Cilluffo Associates reserves the right to nominate additional persons to fill such positions. The Cilluffo Associates Nominees Each of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees has consented to serve as a director if elected. On August 5, 1999, Cilluffo Associates entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreements") with each of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees. Pursuant to the Option Agreements, Cilluffo Associates granted each Cilluffo Associates Nominee an option (an "Option") to purchase 37,000 Shares from Cilluffo Associates for $8.25 per Share in cash beginning as of the date of the respective Option Agreement. Each Option shall expire on and shall not be exercisable after December 15, 2000. Cilluffo Associates granted the Options to the Cilluffo Associates Nominees in consideration for each such Cilluffo Associates Nominee's participation in, and support of, Cilluffo Associates' solicitation (the "Solicitation") of proxies in connection with the election of Directors at the 1999 Annual Meeting. The Option Agreements also provide that Cilluffo Associates will indemnify and hold harmless the Cilluffo Associates Nominees from certain liabilities that could arise out of, or result from, the service by the respective Cilluffo Associates Nominee as a nominee (including liabilities under federal securities laws). Except as described in this Proxy Statement, there are no arrangements or understandings between any such nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a Cilluffo Associates Nominee. 2 The information below concerning age, principal occupation, directorships and beneficial ownership of Common Stock has been furnished by the respective Cilluffo Associates Nominees. Unless otherwise indicated, each person shown as the beneficial owner of Shares possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

(2) Includes 12,000 Shares held directly. (3) Includes 200 Shares held directly. All transactions in securities of the Company engaged in by any proposed Cilluffo Associates Nominee herein during the past two years are summarized in Appendix A. Reasons for Nomination of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees Cilluffo Associates is and has been for many years a long-term and major stockholder of the Company. We began purchasing shares of the Company's Common Stock in 1989. One of our Managing Partners, General 3 Meyer, served on the Board from 1992 to 1998. Mr. Cilluffo, our other Managing Partner, has been a member of the Board since 1996. We believe that our ownership of 1,708,000 Shares made us the Company's largest stockholder prior to the Company's issuance of 2,000,000 Shares in connection with the acquisition of MCR on September 2, 1999, and that it now make us the Company's second largest stockholder. We believe, and have believed for many years, that there is great value in the Company, its technologies and its employees. However, we have been disappointed in the performance of the Company's stock. A $100 investment made on June 30, 1994 in the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Technology--500 grew to $309 and $635, respectively, by June 30, 1999. IN CONTRAST, A $100 INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY MADE ON JUNE 30, 1994 ACTUALLY DECLINED TO $71 BY JUNE 30, 1999. Among other factors, a company's stock price can be related to a company's earnings, balance sheet and business outlook, as well as investor confidence. Cilluffo Associates believes that the Company's stockholders will vote for the slate of nominees in which they have the most confidence. Cilluffo Associates has nominated additional candidates to the Board in order to obtain a better understanding of the problems and opportunities facing our Company and, most importantly, to have a more influential voice in addressing them. Cilluffo Associates is nominating these individuals because of their backgrounds and relevant business experience. In the opinion of Cilluffo Associates, each of the nominees will bring a wealth of relevant knowledge and experience to bear upon the management of the Company based upon their respective business, government and investment backgrounds. Cilluffo Associates believes that the Company should identify methods to enhance the Company's return on sales and operating margins and otherwise to enhance stockholder value. Cilluffo Associates does not have a specific current plan or proposal to enhance the return on sales and operating margins and otherwise to enhance stockholder value. Cilluffo Associates believes that a review of operations directed under the influence of its nominees, if elected, may offer such opportunities. Cilluffo Associates' belief that such opportunities may exist is supported by GRCI's recent acquisition of a company whose margins have been well in excess of those of GRCI. In an investors' conference call on August 11, 1999, the Chairman of GRCI stated that the margins of the company being acquired are in excess of 10 percent; GRCI's margins in the last fiscal year were 5.6 percent and in the previous fiscal year 4.1 percent. The Board and management have stated on several occasions that they are seeking acquisitions. In the past, GRCI has engaged in acquisition and expansion which Cilluffo Associates believes proved very costly to GRCI. For example, in November of 1995, the Company acquired the assets of Quintessential Solutions, Inc. for approximately $4 million, which assets were integrated into a product called NetworkVUE. The NetworkVUE business unit was part of a division that incurred substantial operating losses, and the NetworkVUE business unit was eventually shut down before being sold off. Cilluffo Associates is concerned that there could be substantial business risks involved in acquisitions. First, there is the risk of a failure to understand or evaluate fully all material aspects of an acquisition. Second, there are significant business risks and uncertainties associated with the merging and absorption of an acquisition into the existing business of GRCI. Consequently, Cilluffo Associates believes that it is important for the Board to make decisions about proposed material acquisitions with an understanding of the stockholders' desires with respect thereto. Accordingly, Cilluffo Associates believes that the Board should have a non-binding policy that material proposed acquisitions should normally be submitted to stockholders for a non-binding vote unless the Board believes, in its absolute discretion, that any such submission would be inadvisable. For this purpose, Cilluffo Associates would define "material" as 5 percent or more of the average market value of GRCI's equity for the three months prior to the signing of a proposed acquisition agreement. Under the Company's Bylaws, to call a special stockholders' meeting, the Board would have to establish a record date of stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting, and the Company would be required to give the stockholders not less than ten days prior written notice of the special meeting. Cilluffo Associates would support special stockholder meetings for non-binding votes, or other less formal means of determining stockholder opinion, regarding any such proposed acquisitions. 4 Cilluffo Associates is not proposing at this time that the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company be amended with respect to restrictions in connection with acquisitions and mergers. However, we reserve the right to do so in the event that future circumstances make any such proposal advisable in the judgment of Cilluffo Associates. At the annual stockholder meeting of November 5, 1998, two non-binding stockholder proposals affecting important corporate governance matters were submitted and approved by stockholders which held greater than a majority of the Shares that were voted. The two proposals were (1) termination of the shareholder rights plan ("poison pill") (submitted by David and Joyce Corcoran) and (2) declassification of the Board (submitted by Leonard and Diane DeFrancisci). The Board subsequently voted to terminate the poison pill as of August 31, 2000, but reserved the right to implement a new poison pill without shareholder approval. Thus, the Board deferred the termination of the existing poison pill and, directly contrary to the shareholder proposal, reserved the right to implement a new poison pill without shareholder approval. Cilluffo Associates believes that the Board should make the effective date of the termination immediate, and should not implement a new poison pill without giving the stockholders an absolute right to terminate it. The Board flatly rejected the proposal to declassify the Board, asserting in a May 20, 1999, press release a belief that a classified structure is important to its U.S. government customers. Cilluffo Associates is unaware of any such U.S. government policy regarding this issue. In addition, the Company stated in the press release of May 20, 1999, that it had been "advised that the classified board would be extremely difficult to eliminate due to the eighty-percent supermajority voting requirement contained in the company's charter." While Cilluffo Associates acknowledges that attaining the eighty-percent requirement might be difficult, Cilluffo Associates believes that the vote by the stockholders at the last annual stockholders meeting deserves to be respected. Accordingly, Cilluffo Associates believes that the Board should submit to a stockholders' vote an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation declassifying the Board. In order to improve the Board's accountability and responsiveness to stockholders, Cilluffo Associates also believes the Board should recommend its approval. BY RUNNING OUR OWN SLATE OF NOMINEES, WE BELIEVE WE ARE GIVING STOCKHOLDERS A CHOICE. IF YOU--LIKE US--ARE NOT SATISFIED AND BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BENEFIT BY HAVING NOMINEES SELECTED BY THE COMPANY'S SECOND LARGEST STOCKHOLDER SERVE ON THE BOARD, WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT OUR NOMINEES. QUORUM AND VOTING The proxy statement to be furnished by the Company to stockholders in connection with the 1999 Annual Meeting (the "GRCI Proxy Statement") is required to provide information about the number of Shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date, and reference is made thereto for such information. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote thereat are necessary to constitute a quorum at the 1999 Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy, the stockholders entitled to vote, present or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn the 1999 Annual Meeting from time to time without notice other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken (unless such meeting adjourned for 30 days or more) until the requisite amount of Shares shall be present. Each holder of a Share is entitled to one vote for each Share held, except that cumulative voting will apply in the election of directors. In the election of directors under cumulative voting, each stockholder is entitled to the number of votes to which such stockholder's Shares would normally be entitled, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. A stockholder may then cast all of such votes for a single candidate or may allocate them 5 among as many candidates as the stockholder may choose. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting. Votes not cast at the 1999 Annual Meeting because authority to vote for nominees is withheld and as a result of broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors. Cilluffo Associates intends to vote all of its Shares, and those for which the Cilluffo Associates proxy holders (the "Cilluffo Proxy Holders") are given proxies, FOR the election of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees. Cilluffo Associates intends to cumulate its votes, and those for which the Cilluffo Proxy Holders are given proxies, in such a manner as to obtain the maximum representation on the Board. Unless otherwise indicated by a stockholder, the granting of a proxy to the Cilluffo Proxy Holders will give the Cilluffo Proxy Holders discretionary authority to cumulate all votes to which the stockholder is entitled and to allocate them in favor of any or all of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees as Cilluffo Associates may determine. The effect of cumulation and voting in accordance with that discretionary authority may be to offset the effect of a stockholder's having withheld authority to vote for one of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees because the Cilluffo Proxy Holders will be able to allocate votes of stockholders who have not withheld authority to vote in any manner they determine among such nominees. If a stockholder desires specifically to allocate votes among the Cilluffo Associates Nominees, the stockholder should so specify on the enclosed BLUE proxy card (sometimes referred to herein as the "Cilluffo Proxy Card"). OTHER MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING Mr. Cilluffo, in his capacity as a director, may be aware or may become aware of matters which might be under consideration for presentation for a vote of stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting. However, the only matter that Cilluffo Associates knows from publicly available information that will be presented for a vote is the election of directors, which is required by the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws. If any other matter properly comes before the 1999 Annual Meeting, the Cilluffo Proxy Holders will have discretionary authority to vote all Shares covered by such proxies in accordance with their best judgment with respect to such matter, unless they are directed by a proxy to do otherwise. According to the 1998 Proxy Statement, matters to be presented at the 1998 Annual Meeting were to include (i) election of directors, (ii) ratification of the selection of public accountants, (iii) a stockholder proposal to declassify the Board, (iv) a stockholder proposal to terminate the Shareholder Rights Plan, and (v) consideration of other matters which properly came before the meeting. The (i) election of directors, (ii) ratification of the selection of public accountants, (iii) stockholder proposals, if any have been properly made, and (vi) other matters which may properly come before the meeting, may come before the 1999 Annual Meeting. Cilluffo Associates does not know from publicly available information of any matters to be presented for a vote of stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting other than the election of directors. If the stockholder proposals that were submitted at the 1998 Annual Meeting were reproposed at the 1999 Annual Meeting, the Cilluffo Proxy Holders would vote for such proposals. PROXY PROCEDURES The Shares represented by each Cilluffo Proxy Card which is properly executed and returned in time to be filed with the Secretary of the Company will be voted at the 1999 Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Executed but unmarked Cilluffo Proxy Cards will be voted FOR the election of the Cilluffo Associates Nominees as directors. In order for your views on the above described Proposal to be represented at the 1999 Annual Meeting, when you receive the Cilluffo Proxy Card, please mark, sign and date it and return it to Cilluffo Associates, L.P., c/o MacKenzie Partners, Inc, at 156 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010, in the envelope with which it will be enclosed, in time to be voted at the 1999 Annual Meeting. Execution of the Cilluffo Proxy Card will not 6 affect your right to attend the 1999 Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any proxy (including a proxy given to GRCI) may be revoked at any time before it is voted by (a) submitting a duly executed new proxy bearing a later date, (b) attending and voting in person at the particular meeting or (c) at any time before a previously executed proxy is voted, giving written notice of revocation to either (i) Cilluffo Associates, L.P., c/o MacKenzie Partners, Inc, at 156 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10010, or (ii) the Secretary of the Company at 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182. Cilluffo Associates requests that a copy of any revocation sent to GRCI also be sent to Cilluffo Associates, L.P., c/o MacKenzie Partners at the above address. Merely attending the 1999 Annual Meeting will not revoke any previous proxy which has been duly executed by you. The Cilluffo Proxy Card that is being furnished to you by Cilluffo Associates, if properly executed and delivered, will revoke all prior proxies. Only your latest dated proxy for the 1999 Annual Meeting will count. Only holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote. If you are a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you retain your voting rights for the 1999 Annual Meeting, even if you sell or otherwise transfer your Shares after the Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the Shares held by you on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such Shares on the Cilluffo Proxy Card, even if you sell such Shares after the Record Date. IF ANY OF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BROKERAGE FIRM, BANK, BANK NOMINEE OR OTHER INSTITUTION ON THE RECORD DATE, ONLY IT CAN VOTE SUCH SHARES AND ONLY UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. ACCORDINGLY, PLEASE CONTACT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT AND INSTRUCT THAT PERSON TO EXECUTE ON YOUR BEHALF THE CILLUFFO PROXY CARD. Cilluffo Associates URGES YOU TO MARK, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE CILLUFFO PROXY CARD enclosed herewith. No postage will be required for mailing within the United States. CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION Information concerning Cilluffo Associates, Frank J. A. Cilluffo, Neal B. Freeman, Marvin E. Lesser (a consultant to Cilluffo Associates), General Edward C. Meyer (Ret.), Richard N. Perle and Guy P. Wyser-Pratte (collectively, the "Participants"), who each could be deemed to be "participants in the solicitation" as defined in the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and their affiliates and associates, is set forth on Appendix A hereto. In connection with requests by certain partners of Cilluffo Associates to withdraw all or a portion of such partners' capital investment in Cilluffo Associates, in accordance with the terms of its partnership agreement, Cilluffo Associates designated the Shares as a security subject to withholding by Cilluffo Associates. As a result of such designation, under the terms of the partnership agreement, Cilluffo Associates is generally not required to distribute the underlying Shares or any cash or other capital with respect thereto prior to December 31, 2000. However, such distribution could occur earlier in the event that the business of Cilluffo Associates is earlier terminated, the ownership of the Shares is no longer reportable on Schedule 13D, or the Managing Partners otherwise determine. 7 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT The following table presents, as of July 31, 1998, based solely (except as otherwise described herein) on information contained in the 1998 Proxy Statement, the Shares beneficially owned by the Company's principal stockholders, directors, nominees, highest paid executive officers, and by all directors and executive officers as a group, as of July 31, 1998, unless another date is indicated.

The Shares owned by Cilluffo Associates were purchased in accounts which hold other securities and may have been subject to ordinary course margin indebtedness from time-to- time. There is no margin indebtedness attributable to the Shares as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The partnership agreement of Cilluffo Associates contains provisions whereby Mr. Cilluffo and General Meyer, as its general partners, may receive a general partner's allocation of profits, if any, derived from the partnership's investments. The present principal occupation of Mr. Cilluffo is participating in the management of Cilluffo Associates as a managing partner. Mr. Cilluffo's business address is 181 Pleasant Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. General Meyer serves as Chairman of Mitretek Systems, an information technology company. Mitretek Systems' address, and General Meyer's business address, is 7525 Colshire Dr., McLean, Virginia 22102. General Meyer is also a managing partner of Cilluffo Associates. Mr. Lesser is a consultant to Cilluffo Associates with respect to the Solicitation. The services potentially to be provided by Mr. Lesser to Cilluffo Associates include financial, tactical, corporate governance and other consulting services, including proxy solicitation services. Cilluffo Associates has agreed to pay Mr. Lesser for such services an amount to be mutually agreed upon after completion of the Solicitation and to reimburse Mr. Lesser for certain out-of-pocket costs. Cilluffo Associates has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Mr. Lesser and his affiliates from certain liabilities and expenses that might arise out of, or result from, the provision of such services by Mr. Lesser (including liabilities and expenses under securities laws). Mr. Lesser is an independent consultant. His business address is 501 Islington Street, Third Floor, Portsmouth, NH 03801. Mr. Lesser is also the managing partner of Sigma Partners, L.P., an investment partnership, whose address is 888 Seventh Avenue, 46th Floor, New York, NY 10106. Mr. Lesser owns 2,000 Shares directly. Mr. Lesser and Sigma Partners, L.P. are limited partners of Cilluffo Associates. The Participants' beneficial ownership is set forth in this Appendix A and under "The Cilluffo Associates Nominees" and "Security Ownership of Directors and Management." Christian V. Cilluffo, the son of Mr. Cilluffo, owns 10,000 Shares. His address is 179 Pleasant Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. Four Seas Partners, a partnership in which Mr. Cilluffo is a general partner, owns 28,000 shares. Its address is 181 Pleasant Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801. While Christian V. Cilluffo and Four Seas Partners are associates of Mr. Cilluffo, neither is a Participant. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Participants' associates (other than associates who are themselves Participants) do not own shares. Although each of Cilluffo Associates, Mr. Cilluffo, General Meyer, Mr. Freeman, Mr. Perle and Mr. Wyser-Pratte could be deemed, by virtue of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by each other, each such party disclaims such beneficial ownership, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. To the knowledge of the Participants, none of the Participants is, or has been within the past year, a party to any contract, arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, 11 including but not limited to joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or guarantees of profits, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except as set forth in the Proxy Statement (which term includes this Appendix A). All securities of the Company owned of record by any Participant or associate are also owned beneficially by the respective Participant or associate. It is anticipated that each Cilluffo Associates Nominee, upon election, will receive director's fees, consistent with the Company's past practice, for services as a director of the Company. According to the Company's 1998 Proxy Statement, non-employee directors are paid an annual retainer of $12,000 and an additional $1,000 for each Board meeting they attend, and $500 for each committee meeting they attend. Committee Chairmen are paid $800 for each committee meeting they attend. The Chairman of the Board and Vice Chairman of the Board have received additional stock option grants, and the Chairman of the Board has received a Chairman's fee in lieu of retainer and meeting fees. The Company also provides each director a $50,000 term life insurance policy. Non-employee directors may elect to forego their cash compensation in exchange for Shares, phantom Share units having the same value as Shares, or Share options. The exercise price of the options is equal to 25% of the average fair market value of the Share during the quarter in which the cash compensation would have been received. The number of options granted is determined by dividing the foregone compensation by the option "spread" at grant, which is the difference between (i) the average fair market value of the Share during the quarter, and (ii) the exercise price of the option. The "spread" is less than the "grant date value" of the option under the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options are immediately exercisable. They expire 3 years after a director leaves the Board, and otherwise have no fixed expiration date. The Company had a retirement plan for non-employee directors, which Cilluffo Associates believes has been terminated. None of the Participants and none of their associates has any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to (i) any future employment with the Company or (ii) any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates may be a party. The following is a summary of all transactions in Company securities by the Participants, Christian V. Cilluffo and Four Seas Partners over the last two years. Frank J. A.
