NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Qualification relating to financial information

The financial information included herein is unaudited. In addition, the financial information does not include all disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles because certain note information included in the Company's Annual Report has been omitted; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results for the 1999 interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

2. Proposed merger

On October 6, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a merger with VS&A Communications Partners III, L.P., an affiliate of Veronis, Suhler & Associates Inc., in which the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Capital Stock of the Company would receive $13.75 per share (which includes $.01 per share to be paid upon redemption of the associated rights), payable in cash upon consummation of the merger. Certain members of Company management are participating in the transaction with VS&A Communications Partners III, L.P. and have agreed to vote in favor of the merger.

On November 17, 1999, the Company announced that based on updated fourth quarter 1999 projections and other information relating to the Company's General Physics subsidiary furnished by the Company to VS&A, VS&A has informed the Company that it believes that the Company has suffered a material adverse change and that the conditions to VS&A's obligation to consummate the merger contemplated by the merger agreement therefore may not be fulfilled. VS&A has also informed the Company that it is investigating the matter, but does not intend to waive the conditions to its obligations. The Company has not agreed that a material adverse change has occurred.

The updated projections indicate a reduction in fourth quarter revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of General Physics, due to a continued and significant downturn in General Physics' Information Technology open enrollment business and the expectation that the remainder of General Physics' business will not grow to the originally projected levels.

2. Proposed merger (Continued)

The Company is evaluating its options with respect to the foregoing, which include (1) continuing with the going private transaction even though there would be no assurance that VS&A would have an obligation to close, (2) agreeing to terminate the going private transaction and renegotiating a new transaction with VS&A, or (3) agreeing to terminate the going private transaction and not entering into an alternate transaction. Since certain members of management have an interest in the going private transaction, the special negotiating committee that evaluated and recommended the going private transaction has been reactivated to consider and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's alternatives.

3. Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

                                                       Three months                   Nine months
                                                     ended September 30,          ended September 30,

Basic and Diluted EPS
         Net loss                                 $ (1,822)     $ (6,566)     $ (9,391)     $ (2,513)
         Weighted average shares
          outstanding                               11,287        10,883        11,407        10,808
         Basic and Diluted loss per share         $   (.16)    $    (.60)     $   (.82)     $   (.23)

Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including Class B common shares, during the period. Class B common stockholders have the same rights to share in profits and losses and liquidation values as common stock holders. In 1998 and 1999, even though the Company still has stock options and warrants outstanding, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share due to the Company's net loss, which makes the effect of such securities anti-dilutive.

7. Business segments

The operations of the Company currently consist of the following four business segments, by which the Company is managed.

The Company's principal operating subsidiary is General Physics Corporation (GP). GP is a performance improvement company that assists productivity driven organizations to maximize workforce performance by integrating people, processes and technology. GP is a total solutions provider for strategic training, engineering, consulting and technical support services to Fortune 500 companies, government, utilities and other commercial customers. GP, which through December 31, 1998 comprised the Performance Improvement Group, has been resegmented during 1999 and now operates in three business segments. The Manufacturing Services Group provides technology based training to leading companies in the automotive, steel and food and beverage industries, as well as to the government sector. The Process and Energy Group provides engineering, consulting and technical training to the power, chemical, energy and pharmaceutical industries as well as government facilities. The Information Technology Group provides information training programs and solutions, including Enterprise Solutions and comprehensive career training and transition programs.

7. Business segments (Continued)

The Optical Plastics Group, which is the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary MXL Industries, Inc. (MXL), manufactures and distributes coated and molded plastic products. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company also had the Distribution Group, which included the operations of the Five Star Group, Inc. (Five Star), a distributor of home decorating, hardware and finishing products. At September 30, 1998, the "Other" segment consisted of the operations of American Drug Company (ADC) and the Company's Hydro Med Science division. On September 30, 1998, the Company sold substantially all the operating assets of Five Star to American Drug Company (ADC). Prior to the above transaction, the Company sold a 16.5% interest in ADC to the management of Five Star, bringing its interest in ADC to approximately 38%. Therefore as of September 30, 1998, the Company no longer consolidated the balance sheet and results of operations of ADC but instead accounts for ADC as an equity investment. Accordingly, effective September 30, 1998, the "Other" segment consists solely of the operations of the Company's Hydro Med Sciences division.

Financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, has been restated to show all sales from the Performance Improvement segment reclassified to the Manufacturing Services, Process and Energy, and Information Technology segments. The management of the Company does not allocate the following items by segment: Investment and other income, interest expense, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense, significant non-cash items and long-lived assets. There are deminimis inter-segment sales. The reconciliation of gross margin to net income is consistent with the presentation on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The following tables set forth the sales and gross margin of each of the Company's operating segments (in thousands):

8. Restructuring

On June 1, 1999, the Company adopted a restructuring plan, which primarily relates to its Information Technology (IT) Business segment. The Company has taken the steps in order to change the focus of the IT group from open enrollment information technology training courses to project oriented work for corporations, which is consistent with the focus of GP's current business. In connection with the restructuring, the Company closed, downsized, or consolidated 6 offices in the United States, 6 offices in Canada and 5 offices in the United Kingdom (UK), and has terminated approximately 100 employees.

In connection with the restructuring, the Company has recorded a restructuring charge of $6,312,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company expended $1,770,000. The current portion of the remaining charge totaling $1,342,000 is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and the remainder of $3,200,000 is set forth as Other liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The components are as follows (in thousands):

8. Restructuring (Continued)

Remaining amounts that have been accrued for severance and related benefits will be expended by December 31, 1999. The present value of future lease obligations is net of assumed sublets. Approximately $484,000 will be expended during the remainder of 1999, $818,000 in the year 2000, and the remaining balance through 2015. Other facility-related costs, totaling $421,000 will be expended through the remainder of 1999 and 2000.

In connection with the restructuring, the Company has incurred write-offs of inventory and other assets related to certain revenue producing activities which are being exited as part of the restructuring ($1,002,000), which are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations. In addition, GP has incurred charges related to write-offs of assets related to certain revenue producing activities which are being exited as a result of the restructuring ($1,594,000), which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.

Due to the Company's significant restructuring charge taken during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company is currently in discussions with its banks to determine if a technical default exists with respect to certain financial covenants in its loan agreements. Based on those discussions with such banks, the Company believes that the loan agreements will be amended so that such technical defaults if determined to exist are eliminated.

9. Related party transaction

On January 11, 1999, in connection with the exercise of stock options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, the Company received a note receivable from a senior executive officer for $899,000. As of December 31, 1998 the Company also had a note receivable of $1,742,000 from this senior executive officer. On March 15, 1999, such senior executive officer repaid $828,267 of such loans using proceeds from the sale of 43,593 shares of Common Stock to the Company. On September 22, 1999, in connection with the exercise of stock options to purchase of 21,012 shares of Common Stock, the Company received a $161,372 Note receivable from the same senior executive. As of September 30, 1999, the aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding was approximately $1,975,000. The loans accrue interest at the prime rate and all principal and interest are due and payable on September 22, 2000 (as amended), October 28, 2000 and January 11, 2001, respectively. The loans are secured by the shares of Class B Common Stock acquired as well as certain other assets of the senior executive officer.

10. Treasury stock

On May 5, 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company repurchased 107,516 shares of its Common Stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On October 6, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a merger with VS&A Communications Partners III, L.P., an affiliate of Veronis, Suhler & Associates Inc., in which the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Capital Stock of the Company would receive $13.75 per share (which includes $.01 per share to be paid upon redemption of the associated rights), payable in cash upon consummation of the merger. Certain members of Company management are participating in the transaction with VS&A Communications Partners III, L.P. and have agreed to vote in favor of the merger.

On November 17, 1999, the Company announced that based on updated fourth quarter 1999 projections and other information relating to the Company's General Physics subsidiary furnished by the Company to VS&A, VS&A has informed the Company that it believes that the Company has suffered a material adverse change and that the conditions to VS&A's obligation to consummate the merger contemplated by the merger agreement therefore may not be fulfilled. VS&A has also informed the Company that it is investigating the matter, but does not intend to waive the conditions to its obligations. The Company has not agreed that a material adverse change has occurred.

The updated projections indicate a reduction in fourth quarter revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of General Physics, due to a continued and significant downturn in General Physics' IT open enrollment business and the expectation that the remainder of General Physics' business will not grow to the originally projected levels.

The Company is evaluating its options with respect to the foregoing, which include (1) continuing with the going private transaction even though there would be no assurance that VS&A would have an obligation to close, (2) agreeing to terminate the going private transaction and renegotiating a new transaction with VS&A, or (3) agreeing to terminate the going private transaction and not entering into an alternate transaction. Since certain members of management have an interest in the going private transaction, the special negotiating committee that evaluated and recommended the going private transaction has been reactivated to consider and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors with respect to the Company's alternatives.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company realized a loss before income taxes of $1,560,000 and $8,272,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared with a net loss of $6,253,000 and $1,686,000 for the corresponding periods of 1998. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily due to a Restructuring charge recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 totaling $6,312,000, principally related to the Company's Information Technology (IT) business segment as well as other costs incurred by the IT group in exiting certain activities. These charges were included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses, and included such items as: payroll and related benefits, facility-related costs, write-offs of other assets and losses on contracts. The Company's restructuring plan, which was adopted on June 1, 1999, primarily relates to its IT Business segment. The Company has taken the steps in order to change the focus of the IT group from open enrollment information technology training courses to project oriented work for corporations, which is consistent with the focus of General Physics Corporation's (GP) current business. The IT open enrollment business, has been negatively affected by the lack of new software products, companies diverting training dollars to fixing Y2K issues and heavy competition in this area. In connection with the restructuring, the Company closed, downsized, or consolidated 6 offices in the United States, 6 offices in Canada and 5 offices in the United Kingdom (UK), and has terminated approximately 100 employees. The Restructuring charge is comprised of expenses related to the severance and related benefit costs as well as facility and related costs.

Management believes that the restructuring plan, together with other strategic initiatives, will enable the IT business segment to return to profitability. If such plans are not successful, the Company may need to take other steps as yet not determined. The Company continues to assess the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to its IT business segment and management does not currently believe an impairment has occurred. However, in the event the Company's plans are not successful, there cannot be any assurance that an impairment charge will not be required.

The loss for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was primarily due to continued losses in GP's Information Technology Group, as well as legal and salary related expenses of $1,200,000 incurred as a result of the anticipated VS&A transaction.

The Information Technology Group is part of the Company's principal operating subsidiary, GP. GP is a performance improvement company that assists productivity driven organizations to maximize workforce performance by integrating people, processes and technology. GP is a total solutions provider for strategic training, engineering, and technical support services to commercial customers, utilities and the government.

The losses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, were primarily due to two factors. On September 30, 1998, the Company sold substantially all the operating assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Five


Star Group, Inc. (Five Star), to the American Drug Company (ADC) (a 37.5% owned affiliate at September 30, 1998). The Company recognized a $6,225,000 loss on this transaction for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998. The results of operations for Five Star have been included in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations through September 30, 1998. Subsequent to that date the Company no longer consolidates the balance sheet and results of operations of ADC, but instead accounts for ADC as an equity investment.

In addition, the Company recorded a $3,067,000 loss for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 resulting from the write down of its investment in the common stock of Interferon Sciences, Inc. (ISI) as a result of the significant decrease in the market value of ISI's common stock.

In addition, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded investment and other income (loss), net of $(1,332,000) and $(590,000) as compared to $204,000 and $985,000 recorded for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

Sales

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, consolidated sales decreased by $32,924,000 to $53,258,000 from the $86,182,000 recorded in the corresponding quarter of 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, consolidated sales decreased by $43,998,000 to $175,953,000 from the $219,951,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decreased sales were primarily the result of the sale of substantially all the operating assets of the Five Star to ADC on September 30, 1998 partially offset by increased sales generated by GP. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, net sales were $21,820,000 and $64,148,000 for Five Star, which comprised the Distribution Group through September 30, 1998. GP's net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, included sales by companies acquired in June and July 1998. Learning Technologies (currently included in the IT Group), which was acquired on June 16, 1998, had sales of $14,152,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

Gross margin

Consolidated gross margin of $7,236,000, or 14%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, decreased by $4,274,000 when compared to the consolidated gross margin of $11,510,000, or 13%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, consolidated gross margin of $22,007,000 or 13% of consolidated sales decreased by $9,631,000 when compared to $31,638,000 or 14% of consolidated sales earned in the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The reduced gross margin was due to the following factors. In the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, Five Star earned $3,581,000 and $10,454,000 of gross margin. In addition, the IT Group had a


gross margin of $404,000 on sales of $44,234,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and a gross margin of $228,000 on sales of $13,290,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The reduced gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was principally caused by secon quarter charges related to (1) losses on contracts ($875,000), (2) write-offs of inventory and other assets related to certain revenue producing activities which are being exited as a result of the restructuring ($1,002,000), and (3) lower utilization of employees which led to the termination of approximately 100 people (approximately $1,200,000). Of the above charges approximately $2,346,000 pertained to the IT Group and $731,000 pertained to the Process and Energy Group.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $7,013,000 and $21,429,000 was $806,000 and $2,158,000 lower, respectively, than the $7,819,000 and $23,587,000 of SG&A expenses incurred during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in SG&A for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, was principally the result of the sale of substantially all the operating assets of Five Star to ADC on September 30, 1998. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, Five Star had SG&A expenses of $3,232,000 and $9,594,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the decrease due to Five Star was partially offset by charges incurred by GP in connection with write-offs of assets related to certain revenue producing activities which are being exited as a result of the restructuring ($1,594,000), costs related to facility and other operating costs incurred by the IT Group in the second quarter, which were higher than normal relative to revenue generated (approximately $900,000) and $1,200,000 of legal and salary related costs related to the anticipated VS&A transaction.

Investment and other income (loss), net

Investment and other income (loss), net of $(1,332,000) and $(590,000) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased by $1,536,000 and $1,575,000, respectively, as compared to Investment and other income (loss), net of $204,000 and $985,000 for the corresponding periods of 1998. The change for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was primarily due to the write-down and increased losses on the Company's equity investments as well as reduced other income earned related to Five Star resulting from the sale of substantially all the operating assets of Five Star to ADC on September 30, 1998. The change for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was primarily due to $813,000 of consulting and marketing income earned by Five Star for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The Company recognized losses of $1,460,000 (including a $1,000,000 write-down of its investment in GSE Systems, Inc.) and $1,694,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, on the Company's equity investments compared to losses of $430,000 and $1,210,000 recognized for the corresponding periods in 1998.


Income tax expense

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $262,000 and $1,119,000, respectively, which represents primarily foreign, state and local income taxes. The Company has not recorded Federal income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998, due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and capital resources

At September 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $4,902,000. The Company has sufficient cash and cash equivalents, marketable long-term investments and borrowing availability under existing and potential lines of credit as well as the ability to obtain additional funds from its operating subsidiaries in order to fund its working capital requirements. At September 30, 1999, approximately $26,754,000 was available to the Company under its credit agreements.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's working capital decreased by $1,392,000 to $12,597,000, reflecting the effect of increased accounts payable and short-term borrowings, partially offset by increased accounts receivables.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1,905,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 resulted from cash used in operations of $7,469,000, partially offset by cash provided by financing activities of $5,032,000. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from short-term borrowings, partially offset by repayments of long-term debt and repurchases of treasury stock. Net cash provided by investing activities of $532,000 includes $2,828,000 of additions to property, plant and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of trading securities of $3,577,000.

Due to the Company's restructuring charge taken during 1999, the Company is currently in discussions with its banks to determine if a technical default exists with respect to certain financial covenants in its loan agreements. Based on those discussions with such banks, the Company believes that the loan agreements will be amended so that such technical defaults, if determined to exist, are eliminated. However, there can be no assurance that such amendments, if necessary, will be obtained.

The Company does not anticipate having to replace major facilities in the near term. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has not contractually committed itself for any major capital expenditures.


Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the activities. It requires that an entity recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measures those instruments at fair value. This Statement as amended by SFAS 137 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt SFAS 133, when effective, which is currently anticipated to be by January 1, 2001. The Company is still evaluating its position with respect to the use of derivative instruments.

Year 2000

The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing computer systems as the millennium (Y2K) approaches. The "Y2K" problem is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way by the rollover of the two-digit year value to 00. The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail.

The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram and test systems for Y2K compliance. GP, the Company's principal operating subsidiary, has evaluated its computer systems and believes that its business applications are Y2K compliant. It has also identified and remediated various ancillary programs.

In addition, the information systems and technology management group of GP has examined and remediated their exposure to the Y2K in other areas of technology. These areas include telephone and E-mail systems, operating systems and applications in free standing personal computers, local area networks and other areas of communication. A failure of these systems, which may impact the ability of GP to serve their customers, could have a material effect on their results of operations. These issues are being handled by the information and technology team at GP by identifying the problems and obtaining from vendors and service providers either the necessary modifications to the software or assurances that the systems will not be disrupted. The cost of the programming and equipment upgrades was approximately $200,000. In addition, certain personal computers and other equipment that was not Y2K compliant have been upgraded or replaced through GP's normal process of equipment upgrades. GP believes that the evaluation process has been completed and that the implementation process will be completed by December 1, 1999. Over the next year, GP intends to continue to plan and implement other information technology projects in the ordinary course of business.

GP financed these expenditures from a combination of working capital and operating leases for a portion of the new computer equipment. Therefore, GP does not expect the Y2K issue to have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The other operations of the Company, including MXL and the corporate office, are Y2K compliant.


Like other companies, the Company relies on its customers for revenues and on its vendors for various products and services; these third parties all face the Y2K issue. An interruption in the ability of any of them to provide goods or services, or to pay for goods or services provided to them, or an interruption in the business operations of its customers causing a decline in demand for services, could have a material adverse effect on the Company in turn. In addition, the Company has significant equity investments which all face the Y2K issue as well. An interruption in their ability to operate could cause a significant impact on their market value, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the event of non-remediation of the Y2K issues by the Company or certain of its vendors, the worst case scenario would be disruption of the Company's operations, possibly impacting the provision of services to customers and the Company's ability to bill or collect revenues.

The Company's business units have communicated with their principal customers and vendors about their Y2K readiness. None of the responses received to date suggests that any significant customer or vendor expects the Y2K issue to cause an interruption in its operations, which would have a material adverse impact on the Company. However, because so many firms are exposed to the risk of failure not only of their own systems, but of the systems of other firms, the ultimate effect of the Y2K issue is subject to a very high degree of uncertainty.

Management believes that the Company's efforts to mitigate its Y2K risks will avoid significant business interruptions. Contingency planning is an ongoing process. While the Company's overall Y2K contingency plan is now being developed, existing disaster recovery documentation and procedures remain the first line of defense. Some Y2K specific plans have been developed and are being reviewed and tested. The principal Y2K operational contingency plans are expected to be completed and tested by December 1, 1999.

In addition, there is a risk, the probability of which the Company is not in a position to estimate, that the transition to the Y2K will cause wholesale, perhaps prolonged, failures of electrical generation, banking, telecommunications or transportation systems in the United States or abroad, disrupting the general infrastructure of business and the economy at large. The effect of such disruptions on the Company could be material.

The statements in this section regarding the effect of the Y2K and the Company's responses to it are forward-looking statements. They are based on assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable in light of its current knowledge and experience. A number of contingencies could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

Adoption of a Common European Currency

On January 1, 1999, eleven European countries adopted the Euro as their common currency. From that date until January 1, 2002, debtors and creditors may choose to pay or to be paid in Euros or in the former national currencies. On and after January 1, 2002, the former national currencies will cease to be legal tender.


The Company is currently reviewing its information technology systems and upgrading them as necessary to ensure that they will be able to convert among the former national currencies and the Euro, and process transactions and balances in Euros, as required. The Company does not expect that adapting its information technology systems to the Euro will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company is also reviewing contracts with customers and vendors calling for payments in currencies that are to be replaced by the Euro, and intends to complete in a timely way any required changes to those contracts.

Adoption of the Euro is likely to have competitive effects in Europe, as prices that had been stated in different national currencies become directly comparable to one another. In addition, the adoption of a common monetary policy throughout the countries adopting the Euro can be expected to have an effect on the economy of the region. These competitive and economic effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and there can be no assurance that they will not have a material effect on the Company's business in Europe.

Forward-looking statements

The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect GP Strategies' management's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of GP Strategies, including, but not limited to, the risk that qualified personnel will not continue to be available, technological risks, risks associated with the Company's acquisition strategy and its ability to manage growth, risks associated with changing economic conditions, risks of conducting international operations, the risk that the Company's preparations with respect to the risks presented by the year 2000 issue will not be adequate, the Company's ability to comply with financial covenants in connection with various loan agreements and those risks and uncertainties detailed in GP Strategies' periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT, dated as of July 1, 1999, between GP Strategies Corporation, a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices at 9 West 57th Street, Suite 4170, New York, New York 10019 (the "Company"), and Scott N. Greenberg, residing at 9 Eli Circle, Morganville, New Jersey 07751 ("Employee").

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Employee upon the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants, and conditions herein contained and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby agree as follows:

Section 7. Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation.

Employee agrees that he will not during the period he is employed by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise and for a period of nine months thereafter, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit the employment of, or encourage to leave the employment of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any person who is now employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) hire any employee or former employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (c) compete with or be engaged in the same business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or be employed by, or act as consultant or lender to, or be a director, officer, employee, owner, or partner of, any business or organization which, during the period Employee is employed by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise, directly or indirectly competes with or is engaged in the same business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except that in each case the provisions of this Section 7 will not be deemed breached merely because Employee owns not more than 1% of the outstanding common stock of a corporation, if, at the time of its acquisition by Employee, such stock is listed on a national securities exchange, is reported on NASDAQ, or is regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange. If the Employment Period ends on June 30, 2005, the Company shall pay Employee during the period after the Employment Period that Employee is subject to this
Section 7, provided that Employee is in full compliance with this Section 7, at the rate of his base annual salary received from the Company during the last year of the Employment Period, payable at such intervals (at least monthly) as salaries are paid generally to executive officers of the Company, which obligation shall cease after nine months or such earlier time as the Company, in its sole discretion, releases Employee from the provisions of this Section 7.

Section 8. Patents.


Any interest in patents, patent applications, inventions, copyrights, developments, and processes ("Such Inventions") which Employee now or hereafter during the period he is employed by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise may own or develop relating to the fields in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries may then be engaged shall belong to the Company; and forthwith upon request of the Company, Employee shall execute all such assignments and other documents and take all such other action as the Company may reasonably request in order to vest in the Company all his right, title, and interest in and to Such Inventions free and clear of all liens, charges, and encumbrances.

Section 9. Confidential Information.

All confidential information which Employee may now possess, may obtain during or after the Employment Period, or may create prior to the end of the period he is employed by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the business of the Company or of any its customers or suppliers shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by him to any other person, firm, or corporation either during or after the termination of his employment or used by him except during the Employment Period in the business and for the benefit of the Company, in each case without prior written permission of the Company. Employee shall return all tangible evidence of such confidential information to the Company prior to or at the termination of his employment.

Section 10. Termination.

Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement only under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. Employee's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

(b) Disability. If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall have been absent from his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for the entire period of six consecutive months, and within 30 days after a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 10(e)) is given shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis, the Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder.


(c) Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to terminate Employee's employment hereunder upon (i) the willful and continued failure by Employee to substantially perform his duties or obligations hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes Employee has not substantially performed his duties or obligations, or (ii) the willful engaging by Employee in misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) reasonable notice to Employee setting forth the reasons for the Company's intention to terminate for Cause, (ii) an opportunity for Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, and (iii) delivery to Employee of a Notice of Termination from the Board finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board Employee was guilty of conduct set forth above in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

(d) Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate his employment hereunder (i) for Good Reason (as defined below) or (ii) if his health should become impaired to an extent that makes his continued performance of his duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life, provided that Employee shall have furnished the Company with a written statement from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided, further, that, at the Company's request, Employee shall submit to an examination by a doctor selected by the Company and such doctor shall have concurred in the conclusion of Employee's doctor. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (i) a change in control of the Company (as defined below), (ii) a management change in control of the Company (as defined below), (iii) a failure by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement which has not been cured within ten days after notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to the Company, or (iv) any purported termination of Employee's employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of
Section 10(e) (and for purposes of this Agreement no such purported termination shall be effective). For purposes of this Agreement, a "change in control" of the Company shall mean any of the following, but only if not approved by the Board, (i) a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), other than a change of control resulting in control by Jerome Feldman or Employee or a group including Jerome Feldman or Employee, (ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Jerome Feldman or Employee or a group including Jerome Feldman or Employee, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities, (iii) the Company and its affiliates owning less than a majority of the voting stock of General Physics Corporation ("GPC"), (iv) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of GPC, or (v) at any time when there has not been a management change of control of the Company, individuals who were either nominated for election by the Board or were elected by the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, a "management change in control" of the Company shall mean either of the following
(i) an event that would have constituted a change of control of the Company if it had not been approved by the Board or (ii) a change in control of the Company of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, resulting in control by a buy-out group including Jerome Feldman but not Employee. For purposes of the foregoing definitions, a group shall not be deemed to include Employee if he declines the opportunity to join such group.


(e) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee's employment by the Company or by Employee (other than termination pursuant to
Section 10(a)) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee's employment under the provision so indicated.

(f) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 10(b), 30 days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Employee shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such 30 day period), and (iii) if Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall not be earlier than the date on which the Notice of Termination is given; provided that if within 30 days after any Notice of Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a judgment, order, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 11. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability.

(a) During any period that Employee fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness ("disability period"), Employee shall continue to receive his full salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 10(b), provided that payments so made to Employee during the disability period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to Employee at or prior to the time of any such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company and which were not previously applied to reduce any such payment.

(b) If Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the Company shall pay to Employee's spouse, or if he leaves no spouse to his estate, an amount equal to his full salary at the rate then in effect for a period of one year after the date of death.

(c) If Employee's employment shall be terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay Employee his full salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given.


(d) If (i) in breach of this Agreement, the Company shall terminate Employee's employment other than pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c) (it being understood that a purported termination pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c) which is disputed and finally determined not to have been proper shall be a termination by the Company in breach of this Agreement) or (ii) Employee shall terminate his employment for Good Reason (other than as a result of a management change of control), then

(A) the Company shall (I) pay Employee his full salary and provide Employee his benefits through the Date of Termination at the rate or level in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and
(II) pay Employee his full Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, at such time as such Bonus would have been paid if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated;

(B) in lieu of any further salary or bonus payments to Employee for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to Employee an amount equal to (1) Employee's average annual cash compensation received from the Company during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the Date of Termination, multiplied by (2) the greater of (w) the number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the Employment Period if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of Section 3 and (x) three, such payment to be made (y) if Employee's termination is based on a change of control of the Company, in a lump sum on or before the fifth day following the Date of Termination, or (z) if Employee's termination results from any other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly installments on the fifteenth and last days of each month commencing with the month in which the Date of Termination occurs and continuing for the number of consecutive semimonthly payment dates (including the first such date as aforesaid) equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of years (including partial years) applicable under clause (w) above by 24;

(C) all options to purchase the Company's common stock granted to Employee under the Company's option plan or otherwise shall immediately become fully vested and shall terminate on such date as they would have terminated if Employee's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Employee's termination is based on a change of control of the Company and Employee elects, not more than 30 days after the Date of Termination, to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company shall pay Employee on or before the fifth day following such surrender a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value on the Date of Termination of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over (2) the aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered;


(D) the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Employee, for a number of years equal to the greater of (1) the number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the Employment Period if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of
Section 3 and (2) three, all employee benefit plans and programs in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination provided that Employee's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Employee's participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide Employee with benefits substantially similar to those which Employee would otherwise have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs from which his continued participation is barred; and (E) if termination of Employee's employment arises out of a breach by the Company of this Agreement, the Company shall pay all other damages to which Employee may be entitled as a result of such breach, including damages for any and all loss of benefits to Employee under the Company's employee benefit plans which Employee would have received if the Company had not breached this Agreement and had Employee's employment continued for the then remaining term of the Employment Period but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of Section 3, and including all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by him as a result of such termination.

(e) If Employee shall terminate his employment for Good Reason as a result of a management change of control, then

(A) the Company shall (I) pay Employee his full salary and provide Employee his benefits through the Date of Termination at the rate or level in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and
(II) pay Employee his full Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, at such time as such Bonus would have been paid if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated;

(B) in lieu of any further salary or bonus payments to Employee for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to Employee an amount equal to twice Employee's average annual cash compensation received from the Company during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the Date of Termination, such payment to be made in a lump sum on or before the fifth day following the Date of Termination;


(C) all options to purchase the Company's common stock granted to Employee under the Company's option plan or otherwise shall immediately become fully vested and shall terminate on such date as they would have terminated if Employee's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Employee elects, not more than 30 days after the Date of Termination, to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company shall pay Employee on or before the fifth day following such surrender a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value on the Date of Termination of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over (2) the aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered; and

(D) the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Employee, for two years, all employee benefit plans and programs in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination provided that Employee's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Employee's participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide Employee with benefits substantially similar to those which Employee would otherwise have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs from which his continued participation is barred.

(f) If Employee shall terminate his employment under Section

Section 9. Confidential Information.

All confidential information which Employee may now possess, may obtain during or after the Employment Period, or may create prior to the end of the period he is employed by the Company under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the business of the Company or of any its customers or suppliers shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by him to any other person, firm, or corporation either during or after the termination of his employment or used by him except during the Employment Period in the business and for the benefit of the Company, in each case without prior written permission of the Company. Employee shall return all tangible evidence of such confidential information to the Company prior to or at the termination of his employment.

Section 10. Termination.

Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated without any breach of this Agreement only under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. Employee's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

(b) Disability. If, as a result of Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Employee shall have been absent from his duties hereunder on a full-time basis for the entire period of six consecutive months, and within 30 days after a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 10(e)) is given shall not have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder on a full-time basis, the Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder.

(c) Cause. The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to terminate Employee's employment hereunder upon (i) the willful and continued failure by Employee to substantially perform his duties or obligations hereunder (other than any such failure resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after demand for substantial performance is


delivered by the Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes Employee has not substantially performed his duties or obligations, or (ii) the willful engaging by Employee in misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) reasonable notice to Employee setting forth the reasons for the Company's intention to terminate for Cause, (ii) an opportunity for Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board, and (iii) delivery to Employee of a Notice of Termination from the Board finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board Employee was guilty of conduct set forth above in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

(d) Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate his employment hereunder (i) for Good Reason or (ii) if his health should become impaired to an extent that makes his continued performance of his duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life, provided that Employee shall have furnished the Company with a written statement from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided, further, that, at the Company's request, Employee shall submit to an examination by a doctor selected by the Company and such doctor shall have concurred in the conclusion of Employee's doctor. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (i) a change in control of GPS (as defined below), (ii) a failure by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement which has not been cured within ten days after notice of such noncompliance has been given by Employee to the Company, or (iii) any purported termination of Employee's employment which is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of
Section 10(e) (and for purposes of this Agreement no such purported termination shall be effective). For purposes of this Agreement, a "change in control" of GPS shall mean any of the following (i) a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), other than a change of control resulting in control by Jerome Feldman or Employee or a group including Jerome Feldman or Employee, (ii) a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 1(a) of Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, resulting in control by a buy-out group including Jerome Feldman but not Employee, (iii) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Jerome Feldman or Employee or a group including Jerome Feldman or Employee, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of GPS representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of GPS's then outstanding securities, (iv) GPS and its affiliates owning less than a majority of the voting stock of the Company, (v) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (vi) at any time individuals who were either nominated for election by the Board of Directors of GPS or were elected by the Board of Directors of GPS cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of GPS. For purposes of the foregoing definition, a group shall not be deemed to include Employee if he declines the opportunity to join such group.

(e) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Employee's employment by the Company or by Employee (other than termination pursuant to


Section 10(a)) shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee's employment under the provision so indicated.

(f) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 10(b), 30 days after Notice of Termination is given (provided that Employee shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such 30 day period), and (iii) if Employee's employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall not be earlier than the date on which the Notice of Termination is given; provided that if within 30 days after any Notice of Termination is given the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties or by a judgment, order, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 11. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability.

(a) During any period that Employee fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness ("disability period"), Employee shall continue to receive his full salary at the rate then in effect for such period until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 10(b), provided that payments so made to Employee during the disability period shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to Employee at or prior to the time of any such payment under disability benefit plans of the Company and which were not previously applied to reduce any such payment.

(b) If Employee's employment is terminated by his death, the Company shall pay to Employee's spouse, or if he leaves no spouse to his estate, an amount equal to his full salary at the rate then in effect for a period of one year after the date of death.

(c) If Employee's employment shall be terminated for Cause, the Company shall pay Employee his full salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given.

(d) If (i) in breach of this Agreement, the Company shall terminate Employee's employment other than pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c) (it being understood that a purported termination pursuant to Section 10(b) or 10(c) which is disputed and finally determined not to have been proper shall be a termination by the Company in breach of this Agreement) or (ii) Employee shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then


(A) the Company shall (I) pay Employee his full salary and provide Employee his benefits through the Date of Termination at the rate or level in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given and
(II) pay Employee his full Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, at such time as such Bonus would have been paid if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated;

(B) in lieu of any further salary or bonus payments to Employee for periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay as severance pay to Employee an amount equal to (1) Employee's average annual cash compensation received from the Company during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the Date of Termination, multiplied by (2) the greater of (w) the number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the Employment Period if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of Section 3 and (x) three, such payment to be made (y) if Employee's termination is based on a change of control of the Company, in a lump sum on or before the fifth day following the Date of Termination, or (z) if Employee's termination results from any other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly installments on the fifteenth and last days of each month commencing with the month in which the Date of Termination occurs and continuing for the number of consecutive semimonthly payment dates (including the first such date as aforesaid) equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of years (including partial years) applicable under clause (w) above by 24;

(C) all options to purchase the Company's common stock granted to Employee under the Company's option plan or otherwise shall immediately become fully vested and shall terminate on such date as they would have terminated if Employee's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Employee's termination is based on a change of control of the Company and Employee elects, not more than 30 days after the Date of Termination, to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company shall pay Employee on or before the fifth day following such surrender a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value on the Date of Termination of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over (2) the aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered;


(D) the Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of Employee, for a number of years equal to the greater of (1) the number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the Employment Period if Employee's employment by the Company had not so terminated but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of
Section 3 and (2) three, all employee benefit plans and programs in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination provided that Employee's continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of such plans and programs. In the event that Employee's participation in any such plan or program is barred, the Company shall arrange to provide Employee with benefits substantially similar to those which Employee would otherwise have been entitled to receive under such plans and programs from which his continued participation is barred; and

(E) if termination of Employee's employment arises out of a breach by the Company of this Agreement, the Company shall pay all other damages to which Employee may be entitled as a result of such breach, including damages for any and all loss of benefits to Employee under the Company's employee benefit plans which Employee would have received if the Company had not breached this Agreement and had Employee's employment continued for the then remaining term of the Employment Period but the Employment Period were not thereafter extended pursuant to the proviso of Section 3, and including all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by him as a result of such termination.

(e) If Employee shall terminate his employment under Section
10(d)(ii), the Company shall pay Employee his full salary through the Date of Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given.
