(B) Incentive Bonus Compensation is based on individual percentages established by the Compensation Committee and is based on achievement of pre-established performance goals. Amounts represent bonuses earned in the current fiscal year for which payment is not made until the subsequent fiscal year. (C) Excludes perquisites and other benefits, unless the aggregate amount of such compensation is greater than the lesser of $50,000 or 10 percent of the total of annual salary and bonus reported for the named executive officer. Page 4 5 (D) Restricted stock consists of Common Shares issued and delivered to the recipient at the time the award is made without payment to the Company, but which are subject to restrictions on transfer for, and forfeiture in the event of termination of employment prior to the expiration of, a specified period of time (generally at the end of a period of five years). The amounts reported in the table represent the market value at the date of grant. In fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, the executive officers listed in the compensation table received the following numbers of restricted shares, respectively: Alan Rosskamm - 12,500, 0, 12,000; Robert Norton - 10,000, 0, 12,000; Jane Aggers - 15,000, 10,000, 5,000; Fred Johnson - 4,000, 0, 2,000; John Stec - 4,000, 0, 0. The aggregate number and value of the restricted stock holdings at January 28, 1995 were for Mr. Rosskamm 69,500 Common Shares and $1,112,000, Mr. Norton 59,500 Common Shares and $952,000, Ms. Aggers 36,000 Common Shares and $576,000, Mr. Johnson 7,500 Common Shares and $120,000, and Mr. Stec 10,000 Common Shares and $160,000, without giving effect to the diminution of value attributable to the restrictions on such shares. Currently, the Company does not pay cash dividends on its Common Shares; however, from time to time the Board of Directors may re-examine the issue of dividend payments. The Common Shares of restricted stock would participate the same as other Common Shares of the Company regarding dividend payment. (E) The Company's 1990 Employees Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, as amended, provides for the award of incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights to key employees of the Company. (F) Reflects matching contributions, equal to 50% of a participant's first 4% under the Company's Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and amounts accrued by the Company for potential benefits earned under the Company's 1979 Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (the "1979 Plan"). The 1979 Plan provides benefits, subject to forfeiture, to such employees upon normal retirement, early retirement or total disability. In fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company had accrued, under the 1979 Plan, for the executive officers listed in the compensation table, the following amounts, respectively: Alan Rosskamm - $0, $13,680, $13,680; Robert Norton - $14,648, $14,648, $14,648; Jane Aggers - $17,448, $5,816, $0; Fred Johnson - $0, $0, $0; John Stec - $0, $0, $0. Mr. Rosskamm's participation under the 1979 Plan has been terminated and has been replaced with a Split Dollar Life Insurance arrangement with a trust established by Alan Rosskamm, pursuant to which the Company and that trust will share in the premium costs of whole life insurance policies that pay death benefits of not less than $10 million upon the death of Alan or Barbara Rosskamm (whichever occurs later). The split-dollar insurance arrangement is structured such that all premium payments are returned to the Company. The present value of Mr. Rosskamm's insurance arrangement for fiscal year 1995 is $77,427.

Such options become immediately exercisable upon a Change in Control of the Company, as defined in the option plan. Options are nontransferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. (2) Options become exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing December 16, 1995. (3) Options were granted for a term of ten years, subject to earlier termination in certain events related to termination of employment. Page 6 7 (4) The amounts under the columns labeled "5%" and "10%" are included by the Company pursuant to certain rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to forecast future appreciation, if any, in the price of the Company's stock. Such amounts are based on the assumption that the named persons hold the options granted for their full ten year term and that the market value of the shares appreciate, in value from the market value on the date of grant at the 5% and 10% annualized rates. OPTION EXERCISES AND YEAR-END VALUE TABLE AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES The following table provides information relating to aggregate option exercises during the last fiscal year and fiscal year-end option values for the Chief Executive Officer and the other four most highly compensated executives of the Company.

The Agreements are designed to retain the executives and provide for continuity of management in the event of any actual or threatened change in the control of the Company. Each agreement only becomes operative upon a "Change in Control" of the Company (as defined in the Agreements) and only if the executive is then in the employ of the Company. After a Change in Control, each Agreement becomes, in effect, a two-year employment agreement, providing a salary, bonus and other employee benefits at not less than the levels existing prior to the Change in Control. If the executive is terminated by the Company without "cause" as defined in the Agreement or terminates his or her employment following a significant change in his or her duties, the employee will be entitled to receive compensation and benefits for the balance of the two-year period. The executive is obligated to endeavor to mitigate damages by seeking comparable employment elsewhere and, to the extent the employee receives compensation and benefits from another employer, the foregoing payments Page 7 8 and benefits provided by the Company will be reduced accordingly. In each Agreement, the executive agrees that the employee will forfeit the foregoing payments and benefits if the employee engages in competition with the Company during the period that any payments are made or benefits provided under the Agreement. In connection with the Company's recent acquisition of Cloth World, the Company and Robert Norton entered into an employment agreement wherein Mr. Norton agreed to continue to serve in his current capacities with the Company, as well as assist in the integration of Cloth World, through August 31, 1997, unless terminated earlier by the parties. Under the agreement, Mr. Norton is entitled to a minimum base salary as set forth in the table plus participation in the bonus plan and to receive certain severance payments if he is terminated without cause or he terminates his employment with the Company effective on or after July 1, 1996. In addition, Mr. Norton has agreed not to engage in certain competitive activities during the course of his employment and for a period of three years thereafter. In the event of a "Change in Control" (as defined above) during the term of the agreement, Mr. Norton may only assert his rights under either the employment agreement or the "Change in Control" agreement described above. DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION The Company compensates Directors, other than officers who are Directors, for their services on the basis of a $16,000 annual retainer and $1,000 for each day of Board and committee meetings attended. Effective November 17, 1994, the annual retainer was increased from its prior level of $10,000. The Company also maintains the 1988 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Directors Plan"), which provides automatic one-time grants of options for 15,000 Common Shares to new Non-Employee Directors as of the date of their initial election and automatic grants of options for 10,000 Common Shares to each Non-Employee Director upon completion of five continuous years of service (commencing in 1989) as a Director. A total of 115,000 Common Shares are currently available for issuance upon the exercise of options granted or which may be granted under the Directors Plan. Each option will terminate on the date that is ten years following the date of grant; provided, that, in the event of the retirement of a Director after more than ten years of continuous service, the Compensation Committee may accelerate the date on which any option (outstanding for a period of more than twelve months) becomes exercisable. When an optionee ceases to be a Director of the Company for any reason, that optionee shall continue to have the right to exercise an outstanding option during the three-month period immediately following the date of termination of such service.
