greater-than-ten percent beneficial owners are also required to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section&nbsp;16(a) forms they file. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Corporation, or written representations that no Form&nbsp;5 filings were required, the Corporation believes that

(collectively, the "Executives") have agreed to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively, of the Company's subsidiaries, PGI
Polymer,&nbsp;Inc. ("PGI Polymer") and FiberTech Group,&nbsp;Inc. ("FiberTech"). Pursuant to management agreements entered into in March&nbsp;1995 (the "Chicopee Management Agreements" and,
together with the PGI Polymer Management Agreements, the "Management Agreements"), the Executives have agreed to serve in the same capacities for the Company's subsidiary, Chicopee,&nbsp;Inc.
("Chicopee"). The Management Agreements provide that the Executives' employment thereunder will continue until the Executive's resignation, permanent disability, death or termination by PGI Polymer's
or Chicopee's Board of Directors, as the case may be. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
PGI Polymer Management Agreements provide for an annual base salary of $250,000 to be paid to Mr.&nbsp;Zucker and an annual base salary of $150,000 to be paid to Mr.&nbsp;Boyd,
while the Chicopee Management Agreements provide for an annual base salary of $400,000 to be paid to Mr.&nbsp;Zucker and an annual base of $200,000 to be paid to Mr.&nbsp;Boyd, all of which
amounts may be increased as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. The Management Agreements also provide for a bonus to be paid at the end of each fiscal year to each of the Executives
in an amount determined by the Board of Directors, but not to exceed such Executive's base salary. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Management Agreements provide that upon the termination of either Executive's employment, such Executive is entitled to receive severance payments equal to either
one-half (in the case of death, disability, resignation without good reason or termination for cause) or three times (in all other cases) his annual salary. On March&nbsp;11, 2003,
Mr.&nbsp;Zucker was replaced as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has not entered into written employment contracts with any of its other executive officers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Termination Benefits  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1998, the Company entered into Change in Control Severance Compensation Agreements (each as amended on May&nbsp;11, 2002, the "Agreements"), with
Messrs.&nbsp;Zucker and Boyd. The Agreements were a result of a determination by the Board of Directors that it was important and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to ensure
that, in the event of a possible change in control of the Company, the stability and continuity of management would continue unimpaired, free of the distractions incident to any such change in
control. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of the Agreements, a "change in control" occurs when (i)&nbsp;any person or group of persons acting jointly and in concert acquire 35% or more of the Company's voting
securities, (ii)&nbsp;any person, or group of persons acting jointly and in concert, owning 5% or greater of the voting power of the Company's Common Stock nominates individuals for election to the
Board (who have not been approved by the incumbent board) who, if elected, would constitute a majority of the members on the Board who are not full-time employees of the Company, and a
majority of such nominees are elected to the Board of Directors, or (iii)&nbsp;the Company ceases to control in fact, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the assets employed in
carrying on the business of the Company. As a result of the consummation of the Plan and the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on March&nbsp;5, 2003, a change in control occurred for purposes of
the Agreements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Benefits
are payable under the Agreements only if a change in control has occurred and thereafter the officer's employment is terminated involuntarily without cause or voluntarily by the
officer for reasons such as demotion, relocation, loss of benefits or other changes. The principal benefit to be provided to officers under the Agreements is a payment equal to 2.99 times the sum of
(i)&nbsp;base salary, (ii)&nbsp;the cash value of the non-cash benefit plans and (iii)&nbsp;the average of the annual bonus received in the prior two years. On March&nbsp;11, 2003,
Mr.&nbsp;Zucker was replaced as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Agreements are not employment agreements, and do not impair the right of the Company to terminate the employment of the officer with or without cause prior to a change in control or
absent a potential or pending change in control, or the right of the officer to voluntarily terminate his employment. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the Company's Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company established a Key Employee Retention Plan ("KERP"). Under the KERP, certain key employees, including the Named
Executives, received retention bonuses, payable in three installments, if they remained with the Company through the Chapter 11 proceedings (or were terminated without cause). During fiscal year 2002,
the Company made the first two installments under the KERP, totaling $580,052 to the Named Executives. The final installment is due May&nbsp;11, 2003, the one-year anniversary of the
Company's filing of the Chapter 11 petitions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The members of the Company's Compensation Committee are Messrs.&nbsp;Hewitt, Linden and Arias. The Company has no Compensation Committee interlocks or insider

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") is pleased to present its report on executive compensation. The Committee reviews and makes
recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding salaries, compensation and benefits of executive officers and key employees of the Company. This Committee report documents the components of the
Company's executive officer compensation programs and describes the bases upon which compensation will be determined by the Committee with respect to the executive officers of the Company, including
the Named Executives. </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Compensation Program Components.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee regularly reviews the Company's compensation program to ensure that pay levels
and incentive opportunities are competitive with the market and reflect the performance of the Company. The particular elements of the compensation program for executive officers are further explained
below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Base Salary.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company's base pay levels are largely determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and
the experience of the individual and by comparing the salary scale with companies of similar size and complexity. Actual base salaries are kept within a competitive salary range for each position that
is established through job evaluation and market comparisons and approved by the Committee as reasonable and necessary. Mr.&nbsp;Schaeffer's minimum base salary for 2003 has not yet been determined. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Annual Incentives.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Schaeffer will also receive an annual bonus as determined by the Board of Directors. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Option Program.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee strongly believes that by providing those persons who have substantial responsibility
over the management and growth of the Company with an opportunity to increase their ownership of the Company's stock, the interests of stockholders and executives will be closely aligned. Therefore,
the Committee is evaluating the implantation of a stock option plan for the Company's key employees (including the Named Executives) that would make them eligible to receive either incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain Tax Considerations.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code generally limits the corporate tax deduction for compensation
paid to the Named Executives to $1,000,000 in any given taxable year, unless certain requirements are met. The Compensation Committee has carefully considered the impact of this tax code provision.
The Committee currently believes that it has structured the compensation plans for the Named Executives as necessary in order to maximize the Company's corporate tax deduction without limiting the
Company's ability to attract and retain qualified executives. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After its review of all existing programs, the Committee continues to believe that the total compensation program
for executives of the Company is focused on increasing values for stockholders and enhancing corporate performance. The Committee believes that executive compensation levels at the Company are
competitive with the compensation programs provided by other corporations with which the Company competes. The foregoing report has been approved by all members of the Committee. </FONT></P>

$0.2&nbsp;million. Shared service costs are charged to the Company and approximated $0.8, $2.1 and $1.7&nbsp;million in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The Company leased a manufacturing
facility from an affiliated entity that the Company believed was comparable to similar properties in the area. This lease was terminated in January&nbsp;2003 at no cost to the Company. Annual rent
expense relating to this terminated lease approximated $0.2&nbsp;million in 2002, 2001 and 2000. In addition, during 2000 the Company purchased equipment for approximately $0.3&nbsp;million from
an entity affiliated with the Company. The Company believes that the purchase price for this equipment was comparable to that which would have been paid to an unaffiliated third party. The Company is
currently reviewing these agreements to determine their enforceability and the Company's rights, including the right to terminate, under these agreements. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
2002, the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement dated as of April&nbsp;17, 2002 and in December&nbsp;2002 entered into a Supply Agreement dated April&nbsp;30,
2002, with a third party affiliated with certain of the Company's stockholders. During 2002, no payments were made by either party under either of these agreements. Certain of the Company's key
employees provide services for InterTech, a shareholder of the Company, and other affiliates of InterTech. InterTech and its affiliates pay such employees directly for these services. The Company is
currently examining this relationship. </FONT></P>
