          James W. McGinley has not, during the last five years, been convicted
          in any criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar
          misdemeanors. Furthermore, James W. McGinley has not, during the last

          respect to such laws.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.  Not applicable.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. On August 19, 2002, the Issuer entered into an
          agreement with the Marital Trusts to make a tender offer to purchase
          all of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock owned by the Marital Trusts
          at a price per share of $20.00 in cash (the "Tender Offer").

          By amendment dated December 26, 2002, the Issuer entered into an
          agreement with the Marital Trusts to amend the agreement to tender for
          all of the Issuer's outstanding Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to the
          amendment, the Company agreed to call a special meeting of its Class A
          Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Tender Offer
          by a majority of the shares of Class A Common Stock present or
          represented by proxy at the special meeting (excluding shares of Class
          A Common Stock held by the McGinley trusts and certain McGinley family
          members).

          Although the Class B Common Stock represents only approximately three
          percent of the Issuer's outstanding equity securities, under the
          Issuer's charter, it is entitled to elect approximately 75% of the
          Issuer's board of directors. Under the Issuer's charter, the right of
          the Class B Common Stock to elect approximately 75% of the Issuer's
          board of directors is eliminated once the number of outstanding shares
          of Class B Common Stock falls below 100,000. The Tender Offer will be
          contingent upon a sufficient number of shares of Class B Common Stock
          being tendered so that upon closing the Tender Offer, less than
          100,000 shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding. The Tender
          Offer will be subject to a number of other standard terms and
          conditions to be specified in the offer to purchase that will be
          distributed to the holders of the Class B Common Stock, including the
          Marital Trusts.

          Pursuant to the amendment, the Issuer's obligation to commence the
          Tender Offer and the obligation of the Marital Trusts and certain
          McGinley family members to tender their Class B shares is also subject
          to, among other things, the approval of the Tender Offer by the
          company's Class A stockholders and the receipt of a favorable
          supplemental private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
          that the proposed tender offer will not affect the tax consequences of
          the Stratos Lightwave, Inc. spin-off. Methode expects to complete the
          tender offer within four months.

          In connection with closing these transactions, James W. McGinley, a
          current director of the Issuer, and Roy M. Van Cleave, a director
          nominee of the Issuer, will resign from the Issuer's board of
          directors and the Marital Trusts have agreed that Horizon Farms, Inc.,
          an affiliate of the Marital Trusts, will repay in full the principal
          amount and all accrued interest due under a $6,000,000 note due to the
          Issuer. Additional funds necessary to

                                                                   Page 12 of 18

          consummate the Tender Offer net of the loan repayment will come from
          the Issuer's available cash.

          Other than as set forth above, none of the Marital Trusts or the
          Special Fiduciaries currently have plans or proposals which relate to
          or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional
          securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the
          Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
          reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
          subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
          the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present
          board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or
          proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
          existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the
          present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other
          material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g)
          changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
          thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control
          of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the
          Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease
          to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a
          registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity
          securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of
          registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of The Securities Exchange
          Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated
          above.

This Amendment ("Amendment") to the Agreement dated as of August 19, 2002
("Agreement"), is made as of December 26, 2002 by and among the Company and the

WHEREAS, the Company and its directors as of August 19, 2002 are defendants in a
certain lawsuit filed in Delaware Chancery Court (C.A. No. 19899) relating to
the Offer ("Litigation"); and

WHEREAS, the trial of such Litigation is set to commence on January 6, 2003
("Trial"); and

Whereas, as an inducement to enter into this Amendment, the Company hereby
represents to the Stockholders that the plaintiff's counsel has confirmed to
counsel for the Special Committee that the Trial will be postponed until after
the date of a special meeting of the Company's Class A stockholders relating to
the Offer;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Stockholders agree as follows:


1.   A new Section 1 (d) is hereby added to the Agreement which reads as
     follows:

          "The Company agrees to call a special meeting of the Class A
stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining
approval by the Class A stockholders of the Offer by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the Class A shares present or represented by proxy at the meeting
(excluding Class A shares held by the Stockholders) and to use its best efforts
to obtain such affirmative vote through all available means of proxy
solicitation, including the use of a proxy statement in which the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors recommends to such Class A stockholders to
vote for the approval of the Offer; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors of the Company shall not be required to call, or to hold, such meeting
and the Special Committee shall be permitted to withdraw, modify or propose to
withdraw or modify such recommendation if the Board of Directors of the Company
(in the case of a failure to call and/or hold such special meeting) or the
Special Committee (in the case of a withdrawal, modification, or proposed
modification of its recommendation) shall determine in good faith, after
consulting with its outside counsel and financial advisor, that such action is
consistent with the fiduciary duties of the directors to the Company's Class A
stockholders under applicable law.."

2.   The phrase "Except for the Litigation," is hereby added to the beginning of
Sections 3(d) and 4(d) of the Agreement.

<Page>

3.   A new sentence is hereby added to Section 6 (b) of the Agreement which

declined to call or hold such special meeting and (d) the Special Committee

be asserted by the Stockholders regardless of the circumstances giving rise to
any condition, and may be waived by the Stockholders, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time in the Stockholders sole discretion."


4.   A new subparagraph (f) is hereby added to Exhibit B of the Agreement which
     reads as follows:

          "The Company shall not have received the approval of the Offer at the
