    beginning one year from the date of grant. Full vesting occurs on the
    fourth anniversary date and expires ten years after grant. Options become
    100% vested and are exercisable for two years after retirement from the
    Company. Options granted November 17, 1998 vest 100% after four years and
    expire five years after grant. Vesting is accelerated if the Company's
    Common Stock price increases to certain predetermined levels. Options
    vested at retirement expire two years after retirement; options unvested
    at retirement are eligible to become vested for six months following
    retirement.
 
(2) The exercise price on options granted is the fair market value of the
    Common Stock on the date of grant.
 
(3) When calculating the present value of options granted in 1998, the Company
    used the Black-Sholes option pricing model to obtain a calculated present
    value with certain assumptions regarding volatility, risk free interest
    rate and when the shares would be exercised throughout the vesting period.
    In addition, the Company took a 3% discount for each year in the vesting
    period to account for the risk of forfeiture in the event that the
    executive terminates employment with the Company. The Black-Sholes present
    value for options granted May 26, 1998 is $6.08 with assumptions as
    follows: volatility of .445; risk free interest rate of 5.78%; and an
    assumption that shares would be exercised evenly throughout the four year
    vesting period. The Black-Sholes present value for options granted
    November 17, 1998 is $4.23 with assumptions as follows: volatility of
    .524; risk free interest rate of 4.76% and an assumption that options
    would be exercised four years after grant, since accelerated vesting is
    subject to the price of company Common Stock achieving certain price
    thresholds. The valuation is not intended to forecast possible future
    appreciation, if any, of the Common Stock. The real value of the option
    depends on the actual performance of the Company's Common Stock during the
    applicable period.

 Aggregated Option Exercises During Last Fiscal Year and Option Values at End
 of Last Fiscal Year
 
   The following table provides information with respect to the exercise of
stock options during the nine month transition period commencing on March 28,
1998 and ended December 25, 1998 by the Named Officers, and with respect to
unexercised "in-the-money" stock options outstanding as of December 25, 1998.
In-the-money stock options are options for which the exercise price is less
than the market price of the underlying stock at the end of the fiscal year. No
executive officer or any other employee of the Company held or exercised any
SARs at any time during the nine months ended December 25, 1998.

(1) Represents the difference between the $11.1875 closing market price of the
    Company's Common Stock at December 25, 1998, minus the exercise price of
    the options.
 
(2) Messrs. DeLuca, Mahoney and Pompe's options with respect to 2,500 shares,
    2,000 shares and 2,000 shares, respectively, have vested as a result of the
    passage of time but may not be exercised unless the Company's stock price
    increases to certain predetermined levels. Because the condition has not
    been satisfied and the options therefore are not vested, such options are
    not included in this table or the "Beneficial Ownership of Shares" table in
    Item 12.
 
(3) Mr. Strawbridge's exercisable shares were originally issued by OHM and were
    converted to the Company's options equivalent in number of shares and
    exercise price. Mr. Strawbridge, as were all employees of OHM who held
    outstanding OHM stock options, was permitted to cash out the OHM options or
    convert the OHM options to the Company's options equivalent in number of
    shares and exercise price.
 
Compensation of Directors
 
   Retainer Fees. Non-employee directors each receive annual compensation of
approximately $35,000, consisting of a retainer fee of $6,000 per quarter and a
board meeting fee of $2,750 for each board meeting attended (no additional
compensation is given for attendance at committee meetings). Directors'
compensation may be paid in cash and/or stock as determined by the Executive
Committee. Payments on account of directors fees earned by Messrs. D'Aniello
and Dolan are paid directly to Carlyle.
 
   Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board of Directors serves as a
member or ex-officio member of all committees of the Board and is required to
spend significant time on Company matters. The chairmanship is a non-officer,
non-employee position. Upon completion of the Investment, Carlyle named one of
the Preferred Stock Directors, Mr. Daniel A. D'Aniello, Chairman of the Board.
Mr. D'Aniello is compensated for his services at the rate of $120,000 per year,
in lieu of the non-employee director fees described above. Mr. D'Aniello
receives the same compensation the previous chairman, Mr. E. Martin Gibson,
received.
 
   Stock Options. At the 1996 Annual Meeting, Stockholders approved the 1996
Stock Inventive Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The purpose of the 1996 Plan is to
enable the Company and its subsidiaries to attract, retain and motivate
employees by providing for or increasing their proprietary interests in the
Company, and to attract non-employee directors and further align their
interests with those of the stockholders by providing for or increasing their
proprietary interests in the Company. Every employee of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is eligible to be considered for the grant of awards under the
1996 Plan.
 
                                       83
<PAGE>
 
   Prior to the Special Meeting, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
that could be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 1996 Plan was
639,357; and on April 1 of each of the years 1999, 2000 and 2001, such maximum
number was to be increased by a number equal to 2% of the number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding on each of such dates. At the Special
Meeting, stockholders approved amendments to the plan to provide for a one-time
increase equal to 2% of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger, and to
change the date of occurrence of the remaining scheduled annual increases from
April 1 of each such year to the first business day of each fiscal year of the
Company through 2001, in accordance with the previously announced change to the
last Friday in December as the end of the Company's fiscal year. With this 2%
one-time increase, the maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under
the 1996 Plan is 878,240.
 
   The 1996 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
(the "Committee"). Subject to the provisions of the 1996 Plan, the Committee
has full and final authority to adopt, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the 1996 Plan, select the employees to whom awards will be granted
thereunder, to grant such awards, and to determine the terms and conditions of
such awards and the number of shares to be issued pursuant thereto.
 
   Pursuant to the terms of the 1996 Plan, grants of stock options to non-
employee directors are within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and
since the approval of the 1996 Plan at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
no grants have been made to non-employee directors.
 
   Pursuant to the OHM merger agreement, each holder of an option to purchase a
share of OHM Common Stock (each an "OHM Option") granted under OHM's 1986 Stock
Option Plan, the Directors Deferred Fee Plan, the Incentive Stock Plan and the
Nonqualified Stock Option Plan for Directors (collectively, the "OHM Stock
Plans") was required to elect the treatment of their OHM Options under the
provisions of the OHM merger agreement. OHM Option holders were permitted to
elect that each OHM Option, be converted into the right to receive cash
consideration equal to the product of (x) (1) the excess of $11.50 over (2) the
exercise price per share subject to such OHM Option and (y) the number of
shares subject to such OHM Option, or that, at the effective time of the
merger, each OHM Option would be deemed to constitute an option to acquire, on
the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such OHM Option, a
number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of shares of OHM
Common Stock that could have been purchased immediately prior to the effective
time under such OHM Option multiplied by 1.394 shares of OHM Common Stock for
each share of Common Stock (the "Exchange Ratio") rounded up to the nearest
whole number of shares of Common Stock), at a price per share of Common Stock
(rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the aggregate exercise
price for the Shares otherwise purchasable pursuant to such OHM Option divided
by (z) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that in the case of any OHM
Option to which Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") applied, the option price, the number of shares purchasable
pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option
would be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such
adjustments necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of
the Code. Pursuant to the OHM merger agreement, the Company assumed each OHM
Option to which this second election applied in accordance with the terms of
the OHM Stock Plans under which such OHM Option was issued and the stock option
agreement by which it was evidenced. Holders of OHM Options with respect to
188,038 shares of OHM Common Stock (convertible into 262,126 shares of Company
Common Stock) chose the second election.
 
   Retirement Plan. Prior to the consummation of the Investment, the Company
maintained a retirement plan for non-employee directors and under certain
circumstances directors who met the plan's length of service requirements were
entitled to an accelerated lump sum payment upon a change of control such as
the change of control resulting from the Investment. In connection with the
Investment, however, each of the then non-employee directors of the Company
acknowledged and agreed to a modification of the right to receive the
accelerated lump sum payment. The payments to be received by non-employee
directors pursuant to the
 
                                       84
<PAGE>
 
amended plan are significantly less than the lump sum payments that were
waived. Pursuant to the plan, as amended, Mr. Gibson is to receive $16,000 in
annual benefits, for a total of $80,000, and Mr. McGill is to receive $40,000
in annual benefits, for a total of $200,000, payable in monthly installments
over five years, on account of their service as directors prior to the
Investment.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
   No member of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is a
former or current officer or associate of the Company or its subsidiaries and
there are no Compensation Committee interlocks.
