                                 PROXY STATEMENT

    The accompanying Proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Company, for use only at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the BWI Airport Marriott, 1743 West Nursery
Road, Baltimore, Maryland, on the 14th day of September, 2006, at 10:00 a.m.,
local time, and at any adjournments thereof. The approximate date on which this
Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy were first given or sent to security
holders was August 14, 2006.

    Each Proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time
thereafter, by written notice to that effect to the Company, attention of the
Secretary, prior to the Annual Meeting, or to the Chairman, or the Inspectors of
Election, at the Annual Meeting, or by the execution and return of a later-dated
Proxy, except as to any matter voted upon prior to such revocation.

    The Proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the
specifications made and where no specifications are given, such Proxies will be
voted FOR the six nominees for election as Directors named herein, FOR the
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and FOR the ratification of the
selection of KPMG as the Company's independent auditors. In the discretion of
the proxy holders, the Proxies will also be voted FOR or AGAINST such other
matters as may properly come before the meeting. The management of the Company
is not aware that any other matters are to be presented for action at the
meeting. Although it is intended that the Proxies will be voted for the nominees
named herein, the holders of the Proxies reserve discretion to cast votes for
individuals other than such nominees in the event of the unavailability of any
such nominee. The Company has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will
become unavailable for election. The Proxies may not be voted for a greater
number of persons than the number of nominees named. The election of Directors
will be determined by a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares of
Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
Accordingly, in the case of shares that are present or represented at the Annual
Meeting for quorum purposes, not voting such shares for a particular nominee for
Director, including by withholding authority on the Proxy, will not operate to
prevent the election of such nominee if he otherwise receives a plurality of the
votes. For the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, the ratification
of the selection of the Company's independent auditors and any other item voted
upon at the Annual Meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of
Common Stock entitled to cast a majority of the votes present in person or
represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval.
Accordingly, abstentions will have the same legal effect as a negative vote.
Broker non-votes will not be counted in determining the number of shares
necessary for approval.

                                VOTING SECURITIES

    The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 31, 2006 as
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice
of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. The issued and outstanding capital stock
of the Company on July 31, 2006 consisted of 15,627,221 shares of Common Stock,
each entitled to one vote. A quorum of the stockholders is constituted by the
presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of record of Common Stock,
representing a majority of the number of votes entitled to be cast. On January
19, 2006, the Company completed a restructuring of its capital stock which had
the effect of eliminating all outstanding shares of the Company's Class B Stock.
The Company is seeking stockholder approval for an amendment to its Certificate
of Incorporation to eliminate the authorized shares of Class B Capital Stock.

Corporate Governance

    The Board of Directors has the responsibility for establishing broad
corporate policies and for the overall performance of the Company, although it
is not involved in day-to-day operating details. Members of the Board of
Directors are kept informed of the Company's business by various reports and
documents sent to them as well as by operating and financial reports made at
Board and Committee meetings. The Board of Directors held fourteen meetings in
2005. All of the Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of
meetings of the Board of Directors and of Committees of the Board on which they
served.

    The non-management Directors meet periodically in executive session. The
executive sessions of non-management Directors are to be presided over by the
Director who is the Chairman of the Committee responsible for the issue being
discussed. The Board intends to schedule at least two executive sessions of
non-management Directors each year. However, any Director may request additional
executive sessions of non-management Directors to discuss any matter of concern.
The Board of Directors has provided the means by which stockholders may send
communications to the Board or to individual members of the Board. Such
communications should be directed to the Secretary of the Company, 777
Westchester Avenue, White Plains, NY 10604, or by email at
ldesantis@genphysics.com, with a copy to the General Counsel at the same
address, or by email at akantor@genphysics.com, who will forward them to the
intended recipients.

    The Board of Directors reviews the independence of its members on an annual
basis. No Director will be deemed to be independent unless the Board
affirmatively determines that the Director in question has no material
relationship with the Company, directly or as an officer, stockholder, member or
partner of an organization that has a material relationship with the Company.
The Board has not adopted any categorical standards of Director independence,
however, the Board of Directors employs the standards of independence of the
NYSE rules currently in effect in making its determination that a Director
qualifies as independent. In its annual review of Director independence, the
Board considers all commercial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting,
charitable or other business relationships any Director may have with the
Company. As a result of its annual review, the Board of Directors has determined
that Harvey P. Eisen, Marshall S. Geller, Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., and Ogden
R. Reid are independent and that Jerome I. Feldman and Scott N. Greenberg are
not independent. The Company has Nominating/Corporate Governance, Compensation
and Audit Committees and based on these standards, all current members of such
Committees are independent.

    The Board of Directors established the Nominating/Corporate Governance
Committee, which met twice in 2005. The Nominating/Corporate Governance
Committee acts under a written charter, which may be viewed online on the
Company's website at www.gpstrategies.com under the "Corporate Governance"
section. The members of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are Harvey
P. Eisen and Marshall S. Geller. All members satisfy the independence
requirements of the NYSE rules currently in effect. The principal functions of
the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are to:

(i)               develop policies on the size and composition of the Board of
                  Directors; (ii) identify individuals qualified to become
                  members of the Board of Directors; (iii) recommend a slate of
                  nominees to the Board of Directors annually;
(iv)              ensure that the Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate
                  Governance Committees of the Board of Directors have the
                  benefit of qualified and experienced independent Directors;

(v)               review and reassess the adequacy of the Board of Directors'
                  corporate governance principles (which principles may be
                  viewed online on the Company's website at www.gpstrategies.com
                  under the "Corporate Governance" section); and

(vi)              advise the full Board of Directors on corporate governance
                  matters.

    When the Board of Directors decides to recruit a new member, it seeks strong
candidates who possess qualifications and expertise that will enhance the
composition of the Board of Directors. The criteria for selecting new Directors
can be viewed online on the Company's website at www.gpstrategies.com under the
"Corporate Governance" section. The Board of Directors will consider any such


                                       5


strong candidate provided he or she possesses integrity and ethical character.
If the Board of Directors does not believe that a candidate possesses the above
personal characteristics, that candidate will not be considered. In recommending
candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee considers nominees recommended by Directors, officers,
employees, stockholders and others, using the same criteria to evaluate all
candidates. Upon selection of a qualified candidate, the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee would recommend the candidate for consideration by the full
Board of Directors.

    To recommend a prospective nominee for the Nominating/Corporate Governance
Committee's consideration, stockholders should submit the candidate's name and
qualification to the Company's Secretary in writing at 777 Westchester Avenue,
White Plains, NY 10604, with a copy to the General Counsel at the same address.
When submitting candidates for nomination to be elected at the Company's annual
meeting of stockholders, stockholders must also follow the notice procedures and
provide the information required by the Company's By-laws. The Company's By-laws
provide that any stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for Director or to
propose other business at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company must
give written notice that is received by the Secretary of the Company not less
than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual
meeting of stockholders no later than June 16, 2007 with respect to the 2007
Annual Meeting of Stockholders); provided that in the event that the annual
meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such
anniversary date, such notice must be received not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the
date of the annual meeting was first made. Such notice must provide certain
information specified in the Company's By-laws. Copies of the Company's By-laws
are available to stockholders without charge upon request to the Company's
Secretary at the Company's address set forth above.

    The Compensation Committee acts under a written charter, which may be viewed
online on the Company's website at www.gpstrategies.com under the "Corporate
Governance" section. The members of the Compensation Committee are Harvey P.
Eisen, Marshall S. Geller and Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr. All members satisfy the
independence requirements of the NYSE rules currently in effect. The principal
function of the Compensation Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in
discharging its responsibilities in respect of the Company's executive officers
by:

(i)          evaluating the Chief Executive Officer's performance and setting
             the Chief Executive Officer's compensation based on such
             evaluation; and

(ii)        developing guidelines and reviewing the compensation and performance
             of officers of the Company.

    The Compensation Committee administers the Company's Stock Option Plan and
Incentive Stock Plan. In 2005, the Compensation Committee formally acted four
times through formal meetings and unanimous written consents.

    The Executive Committee meets on call and has authority to act on most
matters during the intervals between Board meetings and acts as an advisory body
to the Board of Directors by reviewing various matters prior to submission to
the Board. The members of the Executive Committee are Jerome I. Feldman, Scott
N. Greenberg and Harvey P. Eisen. The Committee formally acted twice in 2005
through formal meetings and unanimous written consents.

    The members of the Audit Committee are Ogden R. Reid, Marshall S. Geller and
Richard C. Pfeniniger, Jr. All members satisfy the independence and experience
requirements of the SEC and the NYSE current listing standards. The Board of
Directors has determined that Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr. is the Audit Committee
financial expert. The Audit Committee acts under a written charter, which is
required to be provided to stockholders every three fiscal years, unless amended
earlier. The Audit Committee Charter was amended by the Audit Committee on May
4, 2006 and approved by the Board of Directors at its July 26, 2006 meeting. The
amended charter is attached hereto as Annex A. The Audit Committee charter may
also be viewed online on the Company's website at www.gpstrategies.com under the

performance of the independent auditors, (ii) appointing, replacing and
discharging the independent auditors, (iii) approving the professional services
provided by the independent auditors, (iv) reviewing the scope of the annual
audit and quarterly reports and recommendations submitted by the independent

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

    The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the
compensation program for the executive officers of the Company. In fiscal 2005,
the Compensation Committee consisted of Harvey P. Eisen and Marshall S. Geller
and in 2006 Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr. joined the Committee.

    The Compensation Committee's executive compensation policies are designed to
offer competitive compensation opportunities for all executives which are based
on personal performance, individual initiative, and achievement, as well as
assisting the Company in attracting and retaining qualified executives. The
Compensation Committee also endorses the position that stock ownership by
management and stock-based compensation arrangements are beneficial in aligning
management's and stockholders' interests in the enhancement of stockholder
value.

    Compensation paid to the Company's executive officers generally consists of
the following elements: base salary, annual bonus, and long-term compensation in
the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted
stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units and other incentives
payable in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock. The compensation for
the executive officers of the Company is determined by a consideration of each
officer's initiative and contribution to overall corporate performance and the
officer's managerial abilities and performance in any special projects that the
officer may have undertaken. Competitive base salaries that reflect the
individual's level of responsibility are important elements of the Company's
executive compensation philosophy. Subjective considerations of individual
performance are considered by the Compensation Committee in establishing annual
bonuses and other incentive compensation.

    The Company has certain broad-based employee benefit plans in which all
employees, including the named executives, are permitted to participate on the
same terms and conditions relating to eligibility and subject to the same
limitations on amounts that may be contributed. In 2005, the Company also made
matching contributions to the GP Plan for those participants.

Mr. Greenberg's 2005 Compensation

    Mr. Greenberg's compensation in 2005 was determined principally by the terms
of his employment agreement with the Company, which was negotiated with the
Compensation Committee. In addition, Mr. Greenberg received a performance bonus
of $100,000 payable in 2006 for 2005 pursuant to the terms of his employment
agreement with the Company based upon the percentage increase in GPC's EBITDA
from GPC's EBITDA for the prior year. See "Employment Agreements-Scott
Greenberg."

    Effective June 1, 1999, the Company and Mr. Greenberg entered into an
employment agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Greenberg was employed as the
Executive Vice President of the Company. Effective June 12, 2001, Mr. Greenberg
was elected President of the Company, and effective April 26, 2005, Mr.
Greenberg was elected Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Geenberg's employment
agreement was extended through June 30, 2008, as described below.

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company's
previous filings under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act that
might incorporate future filings made by the Company under those statutes, in
whole or in part, this report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into any such filings, nor will this report be incorporated by
reference into any future filings made by the Company under those statutes.

Employment Agreements

    Scott N. Greenberg. As of July 1, 1999, Scott N. Greenberg and the Company
entered into an employment agreement pursuant to which Mr. Greenberg was
employed as the Executive Vice President of the Company. Effective June 12,
2001, Mr. Greenberg was elected President of the Company, and effective April
26, 2005, Mr. Greenberg was elected Chief Executive Officer. Unless sooner
terminated pursuant to its terms, the employment agreement terminated on June
30, 2004, provided that if the employment agreement was not terminated prior to
June 30, 2002, the employment agreement would have been extended on June 30,
2002 to June 30, 2005. On April 1, 2002, the Compensation Committee amended Mr.
Greenberg's employment agreement, which amendment was ratified unanimously by
the Board of Directors on May 3, 2002, with Mr. Greenberg abstaining, to provide
that the employment agreement now terminates on June 30, 2007, provided that if
the employment agreement was not terminated prior to June 30, 2005, the
employment agreement was extended on June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2008. On January
21, 2005, the Compensation Committee amended Mr. Greenberg's employment
agreement to provide that the employment agreement now terminates on June 30,
2008.

    Commencing July 1, 1999, Mr. Greenberg's base annual salary was $250,000,
with annual increases to be determined by the Board of Directors of not less
than the greater of (i) 3% and (ii) the percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Greenberg a signing bonus in 1999 of
$300,000, which Mr. Greenberg waived. Mr. Greenberg is entitled to an annual
bonus based upon the percentage increase in GPC's earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding extraordinary or unusual
nonrecurring items of income and expense ("EBITDA"), from GPC's EBITDA for the
prior year, up to 50% of his base salary. Pursuant to such provision, Mr.
Greenberg received a bonus of $100,000 in 2006 for 2005 and a bonus of $75,000
in 2004 for 2003. Mr. Greenberg received a discretionary bonus of $350,000 in
2005 for 2004 that was in excess of his formula bonus. Pursuant to the
employment agreement entered into in 1999, the Company granted Mr. Greenberg
under the Company's option plan, options to purchase 100,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share, the market price
on the date of grant, which options expired on June 30, 2004. The Company is
required to provide Mr. Greenberg with an automobile and to maintain the
existing life and disability insurance covering Mr. Greenberg.

    The Company may terminate the employment agreement for Cause, which is
defined as (i) the willful and continued failure by Mr. Greenberg to
substantially perform his duties or obligations or (ii) the willful engaging by
Mr. Greenberg in misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to the
Company. If the employment agreement is terminated for Cause, the Company is
required to pay Mr. Greenberg his full salary through the date his employment is
terminated. If Mr. Greenberg's employment is terminated by his death, the
Company is required to pay to his spouse or estate his full salary for a period
of one year. If, as a result of Mr. Greenberg's incapacity due to physical or
mental illness, he is absent from his duties on a full-time basis for the entire
period of six consecutive months, and he does not return within 30 days of
notice, the Company may terminate his employment. Mr. Greenberg is entitled to
receive his full salary during the disability period until his employment is
terminated.

    Mr. Greenberg can terminate the employment agreement for Good Reason, which
is defined to include (i) a change in control of the Company, (ii) a management
change in control of the Company, or (iii) a failure by the Company to comply
with any material provision of the employment agreement which has not been cured
within ten days after notice. A "change in control" of the Company is defined as
any of the following, but only if not approved by the Board of Directors, (i) a
change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 1(a) of Form 8-K, other than a change of control resulting in control by
Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg or a group including Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg,
(ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act), other than Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg or a group including Mr.
Feldman or Mr. Greenberg, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in


                                       13


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 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 or elected by the Board of Directors of the Company cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. A "management
change in control" of the Company is defined as (i) an event that would have
constituted a change of control of the Company if it had not been approved by
the Board of Directors 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 Form 8-K,
resulting in control by a buy-out group including Mr. Feldman but not Mr.
Greenberg.

    If the Company wrongfully terminates the employment agreement or Mr.
Greenberg terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason (other than as a
result of a management change of control), (i) the Company is required to pay
Mr. Greenberg his full salary and provide him his benefits through the
termination date, and pay him his full annual bonus for the calendar year in
which termination occurs; (ii) the Company is required to pay as severance pay
to Mr. Greenberg an amount equal to (a) Mr. Greenberg's average annual cash
compensation received from the Company during the three full calendar years
immediately preceding the termination date, multiplied by (b) the greater of (I)
the number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in
the employment period if the employment agreement had not so terminated but was
not subsequently extended and (II) three, such payment to be made (c) if
termination is based on a change of control of the Company, in a lump sum or (d)
if termination results from any other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly
installments payable over the number of years (including partial years) that
would have been remaining in the employment period if the employment agreement
had not so terminated but was not subsequently extended; (iii) all options to
purchase the Company's Common Stock granted to Mr. Greenberg under the Company's
option plan or otherwise immediately become fully vested and terminate on such
date as they would have terminated if Mr. Greenberg's employment by the Company
had not terminated and, if Mr. Greenberg's termination is based on a change of
control of the Company and Mr. Greenberg elects to surrender any or all of such
options to the Company, the Company is required to pay Mr. Greenberg a lump sum
cash payment equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value on the termination
date of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over
(b) the aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered; (iv) the Company is
required to maintain in full force and effect, for a number of years equal to
the greater of (a) the number of years (including partial years) that would have
been remaining in the employment period if the employment agreement had not so
terminated but was not subsequently extended and (b) three, all employee benefit
plans and programs in which Mr. Greenberg was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the termination date; and (v) if termination of the
employment agreement arises out of a breach by the Company, the Company is
required to pay all other damages to which Mr. Greenberg may be entitled as a
result of such breach.

    If Mr. Greenberg terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason as a
result of a management change of control, (i) the Company is required to pay Mr.
Greenberg his full salary and provide him his benefits through the termination
date, and pay him his full annual bonus for the calendar year in which
termination occurs; (ii) the Company is required to pay as severance pay to Mr.
Greenberg a lump sum amount equal to twice Mr. Greenberg's average annual cash
compensation received from the Company during the three full calendar years
immediately preceding the termination date; (iii) all options to purchase the
Company's Common Stock granted to Mr. Greenberg under the Company's option plan
or otherwise immediately become fully vested and terminate on such date as they
would have terminated if Mr. Greenberg's employment by the Company had not
terminated and, if Mr. Greenberg elects to surrender any or all of such options
to the Company, the Company is required to pay Mr. Greenberg a lump sum cash
payment equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value on the termination date
of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over (b) the


                                       14


aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered; and (iv) the Company is
required to maintain in full force and effect for two years all employee benefit
plans and programs in which Mr. Greenberg was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the termination date.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any
portion of any amount otherwise payable to Mr. Greenberg if the Company could
not reasonably deduct such portion solely by operation of Section 280G.

    Douglas E. Sharp. As of July 1, 1999, Douglas E. Sharp and GPC entered into
an employment agreement pursuant to which Mr. Sharp was employed as Group
President of GPC. Mr. Sharp was elected President of GPC on September 4, 2002.
Unless sooner terminated pursuant to its terms, the employment agreement
terminated on June 30, 2004, provided however, that since the employment
agreement was not terminated prior to June 30, 2002, the employment agreement
provided that it was extended on June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2005. On January 21,
2005, the Compensation Committee amended the employment agreement, to provide
that the employment agreement now terminates on June 30, 2008.

    Commencing July 1, 1999, Mr. Sharp's base annual salary was $230,000, with
annual increases to be determined by the Board of Directors of GPC of not less
than 3%. GPC paid Mr. Sharp a signing bonus in 1999 of $300,000. Mr. Sharp is
entitled to an annual bonus based upon the percentage increase in GPC's EBITDA
from GPC's EBITDA for the prior year, up to 50% of his base salary. Pursuant to
such provision, Mr. Sharp received a bonus of $85,000 in 2006 for 2005 and
$50,000 in 2005 for 2004. Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into in
1999, the Company granted Mr. Sharp under the Company's option plan, options to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of
$8.00 per share, the market price on the date of grant, which options expired on
June 30, 2004. GPC is required to provide Mr. Sharp with an automobile.

    GPC may terminate the employment agreement for Cause, which is defined as
(i) the willful and continued failure by Mr. Sharp to substantially perform his
duties or obligations or (ii) the willful engaging by Mr. Sharp in misconduct
which is materially monetarily injurious to GPC. If the employment agreement is
terminated for Cause, GPC is required to pay Mr. Sharp his full salary through
the date his employment is terminated. If Mr. Sharp's employment is terminated
by his death, GPC is required to pay to his spouse or estate his full salary for
a period of one year. If, as a result of Mr. Sharp's incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, he is absent from his duties on a full-time basis for the
entire period of six consecutive months, and he does not return within 30 days
of notice, GPC may terminate his employment. Mr. Sharp is entitled to receive
his full salary during the disability period until his employment is terminated.

    Mr. Sharp can terminate the employment agreement for Good Reason, which is
defined to include (i) a change in control of the Company, (ii) a management
change in control of the Company, or (ii) a failure by GPC to comply with any
material provision of the employment agreement which has not been cured within
ten days after notice. A "change in control" of the Company is defined as any of
the following, but only if not approved by the Board of Directors, (i) a change
in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item
1(a) of Form 8-K, other than a change of control resulting in control by Mr.
Feldman or a group including Mr. Feldman (ii) any "person" (as such term is used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Mr. Feldman or a
group including Mr. Feldman, 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 GPC, (iv) the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, 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 or elected by the Board of Directors of the
Company cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. A
"management change in control" of the Company is defined as (i) an event that
would have constituted a change of control of the Company if it had not been
approved by the Board of Directors 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 Form
8-K, resulting in control by a buy-out group including Mr. Feldman.

                                       15


    If GPC wrongfully terminates the employment agreement or Mr. Sharp
terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason, (i) GPC is required to pay
Mr. Sharp his full salary and provide him his benefits through the termination
date, and pay him his full annual bonus for the calendar year in which
termination occurs; (ii) GPC is required to pay as severance pay to Mr. Sharp an
amount equal to (a) Mr. Sharp's average annual cash compensation received from
GPC during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination
date, multiplied by (b) the greater of (I) the number of years (including
partial years) that would have been remaining in the employment period if the
employment agreement had not so terminated but was not subsequently extended and
(II) three, such payment to be made (c) if termination is based on a change of
control of the Company, in a lump sum or (d) if termination results from any
other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly installments payable over the
number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the
employment period if the employment agreement had not so terminated but was not
subsequently extended; (iii) all options to purchase the Company's Common Stock
granted to Mr. Sharp under the Company's option plan or otherwise immediately
become fully vested and terminate on such date as they would have terminated if
Mr. Sharp's employment by GPC had not terminated and, if Mr. Sharp's termination
is based on a change of control of the Company and Mr. Sharp elects to surrender
any or all of such options to GPC, GPC is required to pay Mr. Sharp a lump sum
cash payment equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value on the termination
date of the securities issuable upon exercise of the options surrendered over
(b) the aggregate exercise price of the options surrendered; (iv) GPC is
required to maintain in full force and effect, for a number of years equal to
the greater of (a) the number of years (including partial years) that would have
been remaining in the employment period if the employment agreement had not so
terminated but was not subsequently extended and (b) three, all employee benefit
plans and programs in which Mr. Sharp was entitled to participate immediately
prior to the termination date; and (v) if termination of the employment
agreement arises out of a breach by GPC, GPC is required to pay all other
damages to which Mr. Sharp may be entitled as a result of such breach.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, GPC shall not be obligated to pay any portion
of any amount otherwise payable to Mr. Sharp if GPC could not reasonably deduct
such portion solely by operation of Section 280G.

    The Company guaranteed the performance by GPC of its obligations under Mr.
Sharp's employment agreement.

    Andrea D. Kantor. As of May 1, 2001, Andrea D. Kantor and the Company
entered into an employment agreement pursuant to which Ms. Kantor was employed
as the Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. Unless sooner
terminated pursuant to its terms, the employment agreement terminated on June

terminated prior to June 30, 2002, the employment agreement provided that it was
extended on June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2005. On January 21, 2005, the

that the employment agreement now terminates on June 30, 2007.

    Commencing May 1, 2001, Ms. Kantor's base annual salary was $190,000, with
annual increases to be determined by the Board of Directors of not less than the
greater of (i) 3% and (ii) the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index.

the Company's revenues, profits or losses, financing activities, and such other
factors deemed relevant by the Board. Ms. Kantor received a discretionary bonus
of $50,000 in 2006 for 2005 and $50,000 in 2005 for 2004. The Company is
required to provide Ms. Kantor with an automobile and to maintain the existing

defined as (i) the willful and continued failure by Ms. Kantor to substantially
perform her duties or obligations or (ii) the willful engaging by Ms. Kantor in
misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to the Company. If the
employment agreement is terminated for Cause, the Company is required to pay Ms.
Kantor her full salary through the date her employment is terminated. If Ms.


                                       16


Kantor's employment is terminated by her death, the Company is required to pay

absent from her duties on a full-time basis for the entire period of six
consecutive months, and she does not return within 30 days of notice, the
Company may terminate her employment. Ms. Kantor is entitled to receive her full

Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg or a group including Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg,
(ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act), other than Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg or a group including Mr.
Feldman or Mr. Greenberg, 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 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 or elected by the Board of Directors of the Company cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board. A "management
change in control" of the Company is defined as (i) an event that would have
constituted a change of control of the Company if it had not been approved by
the Board of Directors 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 Form 8-K,
resulting in control by a buy-out group including Mr. Feldman or Mr. Greenberg.

    If the Company wrongfully terminates the employment agreement or Ms. Kantor
terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason (other than as a result of a
management change of control), (i) the Company is required to pay Ms. Kantor her
full salary and provide her benefits through the termination date, and pay her
full annual bonus for the calendar year in which termination occurs; (ii) the
Company is required to pay as severance pay to Ms. Kantor an amount equal to (a)
Ms. Kantor's average annual cash compensation received from the Company during
the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date,
multiplied by (b) the greater of (I) the number of years (including partial
years) that would have been remaining in the employment period if the employment
agreement had not so terminated but was not subsequently extended and (II)
three, such payment to be made (c) if termination is based on a change of
control of the Company, in a lump sum or (d) if termination results from any
other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly installments payable over the
number of years (including partial years) that would have been remaining in the
employment period if the employment agreement had not so terminated but was not
subsequently extended; (iii) all options to purchase the Company's Common Stock
granted to Ms. Kantor under the Company's option plan or otherwise immediately
become fully vested and terminate on such date as they would have terminated if
Ms. Kantor's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Ms. Kantor's
termination is based on a change of control of the Company and Ms. Kantor elects
to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company is required
to pay Ms. Kantor a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (a) the fair
market value on the termination date of the securities issuable upon exercise of
the options surrendered over (b) the aggregate exercise price of the options
surrendered; (iv) the Company is required to maintain in full force and effect,
for a number of years equal to the greater of (a) the number of years (including
partial years) that would have been remaining in the employment period if the
employment agreement had not so terminated but was not subsequently extended and
(b) three, all employee benefit plans and programs in which Ms. Kantor was
entitled to participate immediately prior to the termination date; and (v) if
termination of the employment agreement arises out of a breach by the Company,


                                       17


the Company is required to pay all other damages to which Ms. Kantor may be
entitled as a result of such breach.

    If Ms. Kantor terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason as a
result of a management change of control, (i) the Company is required to pay Ms.
Kantor her full salary and provide her benefits through the termination date,
and pay her full annual bonus for the calendar year in which termination occurs;
(ii) the Company is required to pay as severance pay to Ms. Kantor a lump sum
amount equal to twice Ms. Kantor's average annual cash compensation received
from the Company during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the
termination date; (iii) all options to purchase the Company's Common Stock
granted to Ms. Kantor under the Company's option plan or otherwise immediately
become fully vested and terminate on such date as they would have terminated if
Ms. Kantor's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Ms. Kantor
elects to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company is
required to pay Ms. Kantor a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (a)
the fair market value on the termination date of the securities issuable upon
exercise of the options surrendered over (b) the aggregate exercise price of the
options surrendered; and (iv) the Company is required to maintain in full force
and effect for two years all employee benefit plans and programs in which Ms.
Kantor was entitled to participate immediately prior to the termination date.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any
portion of any amount otherwise payable to Ms. Kantor if the Company could not
reasonably deduct such portion solely by operation of Section 280G.

    Sharon Esposito-Mayer. As of August 16, 2005, Sharon Esposito-Mayer and GPC
entered into an employment agreement pursuant to which Ms. Esposito-Mayer is
employed as Executive Vice President of GPC. The employment agreement amended
and restated a prior employment agreement between GPC and Ms. Esposito-Mayer
dated as of April 11, 2005. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to its terms, the
employment agreement terminates on July 31, 2007.

    Commencing April 11, 2005, Ms. Esposito-Mayer's base annual salary was
$180,000, with annual increases to be determined by the Board of Directors of
not less than the greater of (i) 3% and (ii) the percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index. GPC is required to provide Ms. Esposito-Mayer with an
automobile and cellular phone and to maintain the existing life and disability
insurance covering Ms. Esposito-Mayer. Ms. Esposito-Mayer received a $75,000

Units of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. Upon the occurrence of
a "Change in Control" or a "Sale of the Company" during the term of the
employment agreement, all of Ms. Esposito-Mayer's stock options to purchase the
Company's Common Stock will immediately become fully vested and exercisable and
all of Ms. Esposito-Mayer's stock units will immediately be paid in unrestricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock. For purposes of the employment agreement,
a Change in Control is deemed to have occurred if any person who was not on
March 18, 2005 a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 15% of more of the combined voting power
of the Company's outstanding securities becomes the beneficial owner, directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities and a "Sale of the
Company" is deemed to have occurred if (i) the Company engages in a transaction
or series of transactions (including, without limitation, a merger or
consolidation) with another corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust or other entity, and the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction(s) do not, after such transaction(s), hold
at least 50% of the voting power of the Company or its successor, (ii) the
Company and its affiliates cease to own more than 80% of the voting stock of
GPC, (iii) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, GPC, or the
business unit of GPC with regard to which Ms. Esposito-Mayer is assigned are
sold, or (iv) the Company's Common Stock is neither listed on a national
securities exchange nor authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of a registered national securities association.



                                       18


    GPC may terminate the employment agreement if (i) Ms. Esposito-Mayer is
physically or mentally incapacitated or disabled or otherwise unable fully to
discharge her duties for a period of 90 consecutive days, (ii) Ms.
Esposito-Mayer is convicted, plead guilty, or enter a plea of nolo contendere to
a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) Ms. Esposito-Mayer commits
any act or omit to take any action in bad faith and to the detriment of GPC, or
(iv) Ms. Esposito-Mayer (A) willfully and continually fails to perform her
duties or obligations under any provision of the employment agreement (other
than provisions relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, or protection of
confidential information) in any material respect, and does not correct such
failure within 10 days after receipt of written notice thereof, or (B) fails to
perform her duties or obligations under the provisions of the employment
agreement relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, or protection of
confidential information in any material respect. Upon such termination, GPC is
required to pay Ms. Esposito-Mayer her full salary through the date her
employment is terminated.

    Ms. Esposito-Mayer can resign for "Just Cause," which occurs if Ms.
Esposito-Mayer resigns within 30 days following (A) GPC, without the express
written consent of Ms. Esposito-Mayer, (i) imposing any significant change in
Ms. Esposito-Mayer's function, duties, or responsibilities that is not
consistent with Ms. Esposito-Mayer being an executive of GPC and failing to
rescind or modify such change within 10 business days after receipt of written
notice from Ms. Esposito-Mayer, or (ii) failing to make any material payment or
provide any material benefit contemplated under the employment agreement to Ms.
Esposito-Mayer, and failing to correct any such deficiency within 10 business
days after receipt of written notice from Ms. Esposito-Mayer, or (B) GPC
breaching any other term of the employment agreement and not correcting such
failure or breach within 30 days after written notice from Ms. Esposito-Mayer.
If Ms. Esposito-Mayer resigns for Just Cause or GPC wrongfully terminates Ms.
Esposito-Mayer's employment, and Ms. Esposito-Mayer is in full compliance with
her obligations under the provisions of the employment agreement relating to
non-competition, non-solicitation, and protection of confidential information,
then for the period that would have been remaining in the term of the employment
agreement if Ms. Esposito-Mayer had not so resigned or been terminated or for a
period of 6 months after termination (whichever is longer), (1) GPC will
continue to pay Ms. Esposito-Mayer her base annual salary at the rate in effect
on the date of such employment termination, and (2) Ms. Esposito-Mayer will
continue to be eligible to receive such benefits as she would have been entitled
to had her employment not terminated. In addition, in such case, for purposes of
her stock units, Ms. Esposito-Mayer will be deemed to have been employed by GPC
through April 10, 2008. Such benefits will terminate if Ms. Esposito-Mayer does
not remain in compliance with the provisions of the employment agreement
relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, and protection of confidential
information. If Ms. Esposito-Mayer resigns for Just Cause or GPC wrongfully
terminates Ms. Esposito-Mayer's employment, and Ms. Esposito-Mayer is not in
full compliance with her obligations under the provisions of the employment
agreement relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, and protection of
confidential information, then GPC is only required to pay Ms. Esposito-Mayer
her full salary through the date her employment is terminated.

    If Ms. Esposito-Mayer's employment is terminated by her death, GPC is
required to pay to her estate her full salary to the end of the calendar month
and for the next two months. In addition, in such case, for purposes of her
stock units, Ms. Esposito-Mayer will be deemed to have been employed by GPC
through July 31, 2007.

    If the employment agreement expires on July 31, 2007 and during the period
commencing on August 1, 2007 and ending on April 10, 2008, (i) (A) Ms.
Esposito-Mayer resigns within 30 days following GPC's, without the express
written consent of Ms. Esposito-Mayer, (I) imposing any significant change in
Ms. Esposito-Mayer's function, duties, or responsibilities that is not
consistent with Ms. Esposito-Mayer being an executive of GPC and failing to
rescind or modify such change within 10 business days after receipt of written
notice from Ms. Esposito-Mayer, or (II) materially reducing Ms. Esposito-Mayer's
compensation or benefits from those provided under the employment agreement, and
failing to rescind such reduction within 10 business days after receipt of


                                       19


written notice from Ms. Esposito-Mayer, or (B) GPC terminates Ms.
Esposito-Mayer's employment for reasons other than (I) Ms. Esposito-Mayer's
physical or mental incapacity or disability or other inability to fully to
discharge her duties for a period of 90 consecutive days, (II) Ms.
Esposito-Mayer is convicted, plead guilty, or enter a plea of nolo contendere to
a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude, (III) Ms. Esposito-Mayer commits
any act or omit to take any action in bad faith and to the detriment of GPC, or
(IV) Ms. Esposito-Mayer fails to perform her duties or obligations to GPC and
does not corrects such failure or breach within 10 days after receipt of written
notice thereof and (ii) Ms. Esposito-Mayer is in full compliance with her
obligations under the provisions of the employment agreement relating to
non-competition, non-solicitation, and protection of confidential information,
then, for purposes of her stock units, Ms. Esposito-Mayer will be deemed to have
been employed by GPC through April 10, 2008. Such benefits will terminate if Ms.
Esposito-Mayer does not remain in compliance with the provisions of the
employment agreement relating to non-competition, non-solicitation, and
protection of confidential information.

    Jerome I. Feldman. As of June 1, 1999, Jerome I. Feldman and the Company
entered into an employment agreement pursuant to which Mr. Feldman was employed
as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until May 31, 2004,
unless sooner terminated. Effective June 12, 2001, Mr. Feldman resigned as
President of the Company and Scott N. Greenberg was elected to that office. On
April 1, 2002, the Compensation Committee extended Mr. Feldman's Employment
Agreement until May 31, 2007, which extension was ratified unanimously by the
Board of Directors on May 3, 2002, with Mr. Feldman abstaining. Effective April
26, 2005, Mr. Feldman was appointed Chairman of the Executive Committee and
Scott Greenberg was elected Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to a management
services agreement, commencing November 24, 2004, NPDC pays the Company a
management fee to cover a portion of the compensation of certain officers of the
Company who provide services to NPDC, which includes reimbursement of
approximately 80% of Mr. Feldman's compensation. See "Certain Transactions."

    Commencing June 1, 1999, Mr. Feldman's base annual salary was $400,000, with
annual increases of $25,000. The Company and Mr. Feldman also agreed to
negotiate in good faith to formulate an annual incentive based compensation
arrangement based on the Company's achieving certain financial milestones which
were fair and equitable to Mr. Feldman and the Company and its stockholders.
Pursuant to such provision, the Compensation Committee approved an Incentive
Compensation Agreement (the "Incentive Agreement") with Mr. Feldman on April 1,
2002, which Incentive Agreement was ratified unanimously by the Board of
Directors on May 3, 2002, with Mr. Feldman abstaining.

    Pursuant to the Incentive Agreement, Mr. Feldman, was eligible to receive
from the Company up to five payments in an amount of $1 million each, based on
the closing price of the Company's Common Stock sustaining or averaging
increasing specified levels over periods of at least 10 consecutive trading
days. On each of June 11, 2003, July 23, 2003, December 22, 2003, November 3,
2004 and December 10, 2004, Mr. Feldman earned an incentive payment of $1
million. To the extent there were any outstanding loans from the Company to Mr.
Feldman at the time an incentive payment was payable, the Company had the right
to set-off the payment of such incentive payment first against the outstanding
accrued interest under such loans and next against any outstanding principal.

    Each incentive payment was payable on the date earned, except that any
incentive payment earned prior to December 31, 2003 is payable on the Company's
last payroll date in December. On October 1, 2003, the Incentive Agreement was
amended to allow Mr. Feldman to defer receipt of any incentive payment for a
period of at least six months. The deferral period will automatically renew
unless Mr. Feldman gives a termination notice at least 30 days prior to the
expiration of the deferral period. However, no deferral period may end later
than May 31, 2007. A deferral notice with respect to any incentive payment
earned prior to December 31, 2003 was required to be given prior to December 1,
2003 (which deferral notice was timely given by Mr. Feldman) and a deferral
notice with respect to any incentive payment earned on or after December 31,
2003 was required to be given at least five business days prior to the date that


                                       20


such incentive payment was earned (which deferral notice was timely given by Mr.
Feldman). Pursuant to such deferral provisions, all five incentive payments are
payable in January 2007, unless further deferred. A deferral notice cannot be
given, and any deferral period will end, if any outstanding loan from the
Company to Mr. Feldman is due and payable and is not otherwise paid. Interest
accrues on each deferred amount at the prime rate minus 1%, which is 1% less
than the interest rate accrued on the Company's outstanding loans to Mr.
Feldman.

    Although any set-off of the payments earned on June 11, 2003, July 23, 2003,
December 22, 2003, November 3, 2004 and December 10, 2004 will take place in
future periods when such amounts are payable, for accounting purposes, the
set-offs will be deemed to have occurred on the dates earned since the Company
possesses the right of set-off under the Incentive Agreement. As a result, for
accounting purposes only, the Company applied the first $1 million earned by Mr.
Feldman against $1 million of accrued interest, the second $1 million against
$163,000 of accrued interest and $837,000 of principal, the third $1 million
against $64,000 of accrued interest and $936,000 of principal, the fourth $1
million against $86,000 of accrued interest and $914,000 of principal, and the
fifth million against $67,000 of accrued interest and $933,000 of principal,
which resulted in the outstanding principal balance of the note being reduced,
for accounting purposes only, to approximately $619,000 as of December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2005. On January 19, 2006, Mr. Feldman repaid approximately
$496,000 of the principal balance of the note.

    Pursuant to the employment agreement entered into in 1999, the Company
granted Mr. Feldman under the Company's option plan, options to purchase 100,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share,
which options expired on May 31, 2004. The Company is required to provide Mr.
Feldman with an automobile, to pay for country club dues, which membership is to
be used primarily to further the Company's business, and to maintain the
existing life and disability insurance covering Mr. Feldman. The maturity date
of the Company's presently outstanding loans to Mr. Feldman was extended to May
31, 2007, and all contractual restrictions imposed by the Company on the
disposition by Mr. Feldman of shares of Class B Stock were terminated. On April
1, 2002, the Compensation Committee amended the Employment Agreement to extend
the maturity date of such loans to May 31, 2007, which amendment was ratified
unanimously by the Board of Directors on May 3, 2002, with Mr. Feldman
abstaining.

    The Company may terminate the employment agreement for Cause, which is
defined as (i) the willful and continued failure by Mr. Feldman to substantially
perform his duties or obligations or (ii) the willful engaging by Mr. Feldman in
misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to the Company. If the
employment agreement is terminated for Cause, the Company is required to pay Mr.
Feldman his full salary through the date his employment is terminated. If Mr.
Feldman's employment is terminated by his death, the Company is required to pay
to his heirs, in a lump sum, an amount equal to his full salary for the period
ending May 31, 2007. If, as a result of Mr. Feldman's incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, he is absent from his duties on a full-time basis for the
entire period of six consecutive months, and he does not return within 30 days
of notice, the Company may terminate his employment. Mr. Feldman is entitled to
receive his full salary during the disability period until his employment is
terminated.

    Mr. Feldman can terminate the employment agreement for Good Reason, which is
defined to include (i) a change in control of the Company or (ii) a failure by
the Company to comply with any material provision of the employment agreement
which has not been cured within ten days after notice. A "change in control" of
the Company is defined as (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
("Form 8-K") pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, other than a
change of control resulting in control by Mr. Feldman or a group including Mr.
Feldman, (ii) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Exchange Act), other than Mr. Feldman or a group including Mr. Feldman, is
or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange


                                       21


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,
or (iii) at any time individuals who were either nominated for election or
elected by the Board of Directors of the Company cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Board. Mr. Feldman has agreed that he will
not seek to terminate the employment agreement for Good Reason as a result of no
longer serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or being
assigned his present duties.

    If the Company wrongfully terminates the employment agreement or Mr. Feldman
terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason, then (i) the Company is
required to pay Mr. Feldman his full salary through the termination date; (ii)
the Company is required to pay as severance pay to Mr. Feldman an amount equal
to (a) Mr. Feldman's average annual cash compensation received from the Company
during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date,
multiplied by (b) the greater of (i) the number of years (including partial
years) that would have been remaining in the employment period if the employment
agreement had not so terminated and (ii) three, such payment to be made (c) if
termination is based on a change of control of the Company, in a lump sum or (d)
if termination results from any other cause, in substantially equal semimonthly
installments payable over the number of years (including partial years) that
would have been remaining in the employment period if the employment agreement
had not so terminated; (iii) all options to purchase the Company's Common Stock
granted to Mr. Feldman under the Company's option plan or otherwise immediately
become fully vested and terminate on such date as they would have terminated if
Mr. Feldman's employment by the Company had not terminated and, if Mr. Feldman's
termination is based on a change of control of the Company and Mr. Feldman
elects to surrender any or all of such options to the Company, the Company is
required to pay Mr. Feldman a lump sum cash payment equal to the excess of (a)
the fair market value on the termination date of the securities issuable upon
exercise of the options surrendered over (b) the aggregate exercise price of the
options surrendered; (iv) the Company is required to maintain in full force and
effect, for a number of years equal to the greater of (a) the number of years
(including partial years) that would have been remaining in the employment
period if the employment agreement had not so terminated and (b) three, all
employee benefit plans and programs in which Mr. Feldman was entitled to
participate immediately prior to the termination date; and (v) if termination of
the employment agreement arises out of a breach by the Company, the Company is
required to pay all other damages to which Mr. Feldman may be entitled as a
result of such breach.

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any
portion of any amount otherwise payable to Mr. Feldman if the Company could not
reasonably deduct such portion solely by operation of Section 280G ("Section
280G") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Certain Transactions

    Share Repurchases and Exchanges

    On January 19, 2006, the Company purchased from (i) EGI-Fund (02-04)
Investors, L.L.C. ("EGI") 1,090,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a
price per share equal to $6.80 and 300,000 shares of the Company's Class B Stock
for a price per share equal to $8.30 (the aggregate purchase price paid by the
Company to EGI was $9,902,000) and (ii) Bedford Oak 1,031,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock for a price per share equal to $6.80 and 300,000 shares
of the Company's Class B Stock for a price per share equal to $8.30 (the
aggregate purchase price paid by the Company to Bedford Oak was $9,504,200).
Simultaneously with such purchases, Jerome I. Feldman agreed with the Company to
exchange 568,750 shares of the Company's Class B Stock for Common Stock, at a
rate of one share of Class B Stock for one share of Common Stock, for a price of
$1.50 per share exchanged (the aggregate price paid by the Company to Mr.
Feldman was $853,125, which Mr. Feldman applied toward repayment of indebtedness
owed by him to the Company).

    Harvey Eisen, the Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of the Company, is


                                       22


deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Bedford Oak by virtue
of his position as managing member of Bedford Oak Advisors, LLC, the investment
manager of Bedford Oak. EGI had designated Matthew Zell as a Director of the
Company. Mr. Zell resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company
simultaneously with such repurchase. Mr. Feldman is the Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Company and the former Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The repurchase and exchange transactions
were negotiated and approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors.

    Loans

    The Company has made loans to Mr. Feldman, who primarily utilized the
proceeds of such loans to exercise options to purchase Class B Stock. Such loans
bear interest at the prime rate of Fleet Bank and were secured by the purchased
Class B Stock and certain other assets. The largest aggregate amount of
indebtedness (including principal and accrued interest) outstanding from January
1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, after giving effect to the application of the
five $1 million incentive payments as described under "Employment Agreements -
Jerome I. Feldman" and the application of the exchange premium as described
above, was $972,000, which was the amount outstanding on December 31, 2005. As
of June 30, 2006, the aggregate amount of indebtedness (including principal and
accrued interest) outstanding under the loans for accounting purposes only,
after giving effect to the application of the five $1 million incentive payments
as described under "Employment Agreements - Jerome I. Feldman" and the
application of the exchange premium as described above, was approximately
$150,000.

    NPDC

    On August 8, 2003, pursuant to a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the
Company issued and sold to Gabelli Asset Management, Inc. $7,500,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6% Conditional Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Notes") and
warrants to purchase Company Common Stock. The Notes mature August 2008 with
interest at the rate of 6% per annum payable semi-annually commencing on
December 31, 2003. The Notes are secured by a mortgage on the Company's former
property located in Pawling, New York that was contributed to MXL Industries,
Inc. ("MXL") in connection with the spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of NPDC, which
occurred on November 24, 2004. MXL, which is now a subsidiary of NPDC, assumed
the mortgage, but without liability for repayment of the Notes or any other
obligations of the Company under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (other
than foreclosure on the property). If there is a foreclosure on the mortgage for
payment of the Notes, the Company has agreed to indemnify MXL for the loss of
the value of the property.

    Prior to the Spin-Off, NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In
connection with the Spin-Off and while NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, the Company and NPDC entered into contracts that govern certain
relationships between them. The Company and NPDC believe that these agreements
are at fair market value and are on terms comparable to those that would have
been reached in arm's-length negotiations had the parties been unaffiliated at
the time of the negotiations.

    Certain of the Company's executive officers are also executive officers of
NPDC. Such executive officers, who do not receive any compensation from NPDC,
provide NPDC with management services under a management agreement between the
Company and NPDC entered into while NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and in connection with the Spin-Off. Services under the management
agreement relate to corporate federal and state income taxes, corporate legal
services, corporate secretarial administrative support, and executive management
consulting. The term of the agreement extends for three years from the date of
the Spin-Off, or through November 24, 2007, and may be terminated by either the
Company or NPDC on or after July 30, 2006 with 180 days prior written notice,
with the exception of the fee relating to Mr. Feldman's services for which NPDC
is liable through May 31, 2007.

    Prior to July 1, 2005, under this management agreement, NPDC paid the


                                       23


Company a management fee to cover an allocable portion of the compensation of
these officers, based on the time they spent providing services to NPDC, in
addition to an allocable portion of certain other corporate expenses. The
Company and NPDC amended the management agreement effective July 1, 2005.
Pursuant to the amendment, NPDC pays the Company an annual fee of not less than
$970,000 as compensation for the management services, payable in equal monthly
installments. The fee includes $698,000 for the period July 1, 2005 through June
30, 2006 relating to the services of Jerome I. Feldman, the Chairman of the
Company's Executive Committee, representing approximately 80% of the cost of the
compensation and benefits required to be provided by the Company to Mr. Feldman.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, NPDC reimbursed the Company approximately
$1,141,000 for services under the management agreement.

    NPDC also occupies a portion of corporate office space leased by the
Company. NPDC compensates the Company approximately an additional $205,000
annually for use of this space. The Company's lease extends through December 31,
2006.

    While NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and in connection
with the Spin-Off, NPDC had entered into a separate management agreement with
the Company pursuant to which NPDC provided certain general corporate services
to the Company. Under this management agreement, the Company paid NPDC a
management fee to cover an allocable portion of corporate overhead related to
services performed by NPDC for the Company and its subsidiaries. Effective as of
July 1, 2005, the Company and NPDC terminated this management agreement. For the
year ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid NPDC $82,000 for services under
the management agreement.

    Under the distribution agreement relating to the Spin-Off, the Company and
NPDC each agreed that neither would take any action that might cause the
Spin-Off to not qualify as a tax-free distribution. Should one party take an
action which causes the Spin-Off not to so qualify, then that party would be
liable to the other for any taxes incurred by the other from the failure of the
Spin-Off to qualify as a tax-free distribution.

    In connection with the Spin-off, the Company agreed to make an additional
capital contribution to NPDC in an amount equal to the first $5 million of any
proceeds (net of litigation expenses and taxes incurred, if any), and 50% of any
proceeds (net of litigation expenses and taxes incurred, if any) in excess of
$15 million, received by the Company from its claims relating to the acquisition
by its wholly-owned subsidiary, GPC, of Learning Technologies. In January 2005,
the Company made a $5 million additional capital contribution to NPDC pursuant
to such agreement. In addition, as of December 31, 2005 and as of the date
hereof, the Company had a payable to NPDC of approximately $1,201,000 for an
additional capital contribution relating to litigation proceeds in the amount of
$9,000,000 received by the Company in December 2005.

    Jerome I. Feldman, the Chairman of the Company's Executive Committee, is
also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NPDC, as well as Chairman of the
Board of Five Star, a subsidiary of NPDC. Scott N. Greenberg, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, is a Director and the Chief Financial
Officer of NPDC. Andrea D. Kantor, the Company's Executive Vice President and
General Counsel, is the Vice President and General Counsel of NPDC. Harvey P.
Eisen, a Director of the Company, is also a Director of NPDC.

    GSE

    Pursuant to a management services agreement, the Company provides corporate
support services to GSE. GSE pays the Company an annual fee of $685,000 for
these services and can terminate the agreement by providing sixty days written
notice. The management services agreement can be renewed by GSE for successive
one-year terms and was renewed through December 31, 2006. Subsequent to the
spin-off by the Company to its stockholders of its 58% interest in GSE effective
September 30, 2005, the Company continues to provide GSE with corporate support
services through December 31, 2006.



                                       24


    GSE was an additional borrower under GPC's credit agreement, and the Company
also agreed to guarantee GSE's borrowings as part of its fee pursuant to the
management services agreement described above. On March 8, 2006, GSE repaid its
borrowings of $1,182,000 under GPC's credit agreement and GSE ceased to be a
borrower under such agreement.

    Michael Feldman received an annual salary of approximately $110,000 from GSE
as Executive Vice President in 2005. Michael Feldman currently receives an
annual salary of $110,000 from GSE. Michael Feldman is the son of Jerome I.
Feldman, the Chairman of the Company's Executive Committee.

    Jerome I. Feldman, the Chairman of the Company's Executive Committee and the
Company's former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is also
Chairman of the Board of GSE. Scott N. Greenberg, the Company's Chief Executive,
Officer and Director, Douglas Sharp, the President of the Company, Andrea D.
Kantor, the Company's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and Michael
Feldman, the son of Jerome Feldman, is each a Director of GSE.

    Guarantees

     The Company guarantees certain operating leases for Five Star's New Jersey
and Connecticut warehouses, totaling approximately $1,589,000 per year through
the first quarter of 2007. The Company's guarantee of Five Star's leases
remained in effect subsequent to the spin-off of NPDC.

     Subsequent to the spin-off of NPDC, the Company continues to guarantee the
repayment of two debt obligations of MXL, which are secured by property and
certain equipment of MXL. The aggregate outstanding balance as of December 31,
2005 was $1.4 million. The Company's guarantees expire upon the maturity of the
debt obligations which are October 1, 2006 and March 31, 2011.

     The Company continued to guarantee GSE's borrowings under GPC's Credit
Agreement (for which $1,500,000 is allocated for use by GSE) subsequent to the
spin-off on September 30, 2005. As of December 31, 2005, GSE had borrowings of
$1,182,000 under the Credit Agreement. In March 2006, GSE repaid its borrowings
in full and ceased to be a Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

    Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers and
Directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company's securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with
the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, and to furnish such reports to the
Company.

    Based solely on a review of copies of such reports for 2005, the Company
believes that during 2005 all reports applicable to its officers, Directors and
greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed on a timely basis, except that
Messrs. Eisen, Geller, Pfenniger and Reid inadvertently filed the incorrect form
reporting the receipt of shares constituting Director's fees and have corrected
such filings, and Ms. Kantor filed one late report.

                       CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

    The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors,
officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including, but not
limited to, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the
Director of Financial Reporting and other senior managers in the accounting and
finance department of the Company and its subsidiaries. A copy of this Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics can be found on our website at www.gpstrategies.com.
If the Company makes any substantive amendments to the Code of Ethics for its


                                       27


executive officers or Directors or grants any waiver from a provision of the
Code of Ethics for its executive officers or Directors, the Company will within
five (5) business days disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a
Report on Form 8-K or on its website at www.gstrategies.com.

       PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
    INCORPORATION TO ELIMINATE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CLASS B CAPITAL STOCK

     On January 19, 2006, the Board of Directors approved, subject to
stockholder approval submitted hereby, a proposal to amend Article Fourth of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter') to eliminate
the authorized shares of Class B Capital Stock (the "Amendment").

     A Special Committee of the Board of Directors recommended that the Company
amend its Charter to delete all references to Class B Stock. The Board of
Directors believes that the elimination of the authorized shares of Class B
Capital Stock is the final step in the Company's restructuring of its capital
stock, which included the repurchase and exchange of its outstanding Class B
shares. The Company believes that the elimination of the outstanding Class B
shares in January 2006 will improve corporate governance and will enable the
Company to attract institutional investors that generally do not invest in
corporations with outstanding supervoting stock.

     A form of the Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Annex B.

                                  VOTE REQUIRED

     In order to effect the Amendment, the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation must be amended, which requires under Delaware law, the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to
effect the Amendment.

  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

    The Audit Committee has recommended, and the Board of Directors has
selected, the firm of KPMG, an independent registered public accounting firm, to
serve as independent auditors for the Company and its subsidiaries for the year
ending December 31, 2006. KPMG has audited the accounts of the Company since
1970. KPMG has no financial interest in the Company and neither it nor any
member or employee of the firm has had any connection with the Company in the
capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, Director, officer or
employee. The stockholder's ratification of the appointment of KPMG will not
impact the Audit Committee's responsibility pursuant to its charter, to appoint,
replace and discharge the independent auditors. In the event the stockholders
fail to ratify this selection, the matter of the selection of independent
auditors will be reconsidered by the Board of Directors.

    A representative of KPMG is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting,
will have the opportunity to make a statement if he so desires and is expected
to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

                              STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

    Stockholders may present proposals for inclusion in the Company's proxy
statement for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders provided they are received
by the Company no later April 16, 2007 (or, if the date of the 2007 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the
2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a reasonable time before the Company begins
to print and mail its proxy materials for the 2007 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders) and are otherwise in compliance with applicable SEC regulations.
In addition to the above requirements, the Company's By-laws provide that any
stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for Director or to propose other
business at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Company must give written
notice that is received by the Secretary of the Company not less than 90 days
prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of
stockholders (no later than June 16, 2007 with respect to the 2007 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders); provided that in the event that the annual meeting is
called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary
date, such notice must be received not later than the close of business on the
tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual
meeting was first made. Such notice must provide certain information specified
in the Company's By-laws. Copies of the Company's By-laws are available to
stockholders without charge upon request to the Company's Secretary at the
Company's address set forth above.

                                  ANNUAL REPORT

    The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,


                                       28


which is not a part of the proxy soliciting materials, was mailed to the
Company's stockholders on approximately April 30, 2006.

                                     GENERAL

    So far as is now known, there is no business other than that described above
to be presented for action by the stockholders at the meeting, but it is
intended that the proxies will be voted upon any other matters and proposals
that may legally come before the meeting and any adjournments thereof in
accordance with the discretion of the persons named therein.

                              COST OF SOLICITATION

    The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. It is
expected that the solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but employees or
representatives of the Company may also solicit proxies by telephone and in
person, and arrange for brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries to send proxy material to their principals at the expense of the
Company.

            inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional
            authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more
            independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to

         o  The Audit Committee shall also review with management and the
            independent auditors the coordination of audit efforts to assess
            completeness of coverage, reduction of redundant efforts and the
            effective use of internal and external audit resources.

            letter.

         o  The Audit Committee shall review major changes to the Company's
            auditing and accounting principles and practices suggested by the
            independent auditors or management.

         o  The Audit Committee shall inquire of management, internal auditors
            and the Company's independent auditors concerning any deficiencies
            in the Company's policies and procedures that could materially
            adversely affect the adequacy of internal controls and the financial
            reporting process, including management reports and review the

            practices, the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion
            and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition," the

                      AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED


                          CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Corporation shall have authority to issue is fifty million (50,000,000) shares
of which forty million (40,000,000) are to be Common Stock with a par value of

ten million (10,000,000) shares are to be Preferred Stock with a par value of
One Cent ($.01) per share (hereinafter called the "Preferred Stock"), to be
issued in such series and with such terms and conditions as the Board of
Directors may determine.

         (a) In any and all matters requiring the vote or consent of the
stockholders of the Corporation, each issued and outstanding share of Common
Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote.

         (b) Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or
more series as may from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. Each series shall be distinctly designated. All shares of any
one series of the Preferred Stock shall be alike in every particular, except
that there may be different dates from which dividends (if any) thereon shall be
cumulative, if made cumulative. The powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of each such series, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from
those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The Board of
Directors of the Corporation is hereby expressly granted authority to fix by
resolution or resolutions adopted prior to the issuance of any shares of each
particular series of the Preferred Stock, the designations, powers, preferences
and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, of such series,
including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:

                  (1) the distinctive designation of, and the number of shares
of the Preferred Stock which shall constitute the series, which number may be
increased (except as otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors) or decreased
(but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) from time to time
by action of the Board of Directors;

                  (2) the rate and times at which, and the terms and conditions
upon which, dividends, if any, on shares of the series may be paid, the extent
of preferences or relation, if any, of such dividends to the dividends payable
on any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation, or on any series of
the Preferred Stock or of any other class or classes of stock of the
Corporation, or on any series of the Preferred Stock or of any other class or
classes of stock of the Corporation, and whether such dividends shall be
cumulative or non-cumulative;

                  (3) the right, if any, of the holders of shares of the series
to convert the same into, or exchange the same for, shares of any other class or
classes of stock of the Corporation, or of any series of the Preferred Stock or
of any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation, and the terms and
conditions of such conversion or exchange;

                  (4) whether shares of the series shall be subject to
redemption, and the redemption price or prices and the time or times at which,
and the terms and conditions upon which, shares of the series may be redeemed;

                  (5) the rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series
upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, merger, consolidation, distribution
or sale of assets, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation;

                  (6) the terms of the sinking fund or  redemption or purchase
account,  if any, to be provided for shares of the series; and

                  (7) the voting powers, if any, of the holders of shares of the
series which may, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, include the





right, voting as a series by itself or together with other series by itself or
together with other series of the Preferred Stock or all series of the Preferred
Stock as a class, (i) to vote more or less than once vote per share on any or
all matters voted upon by the shareholders, (ii) to elect one or more Directors
of the Corporation in the event there shall have been a default in the payment
of dividends on any one or more series of the Preferred Stock or under such
other circumstances and upon such conditions as the Board of Directors may fix.

         (c) The relative powers, preferences and rights of each series of
Preferred Stock in relation to the powers, preferences and rights of each other
series of Preferred Stock shall, in each case, be as fixed from time to time by
the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions adopted pursuant to
authority granted in this Article FOURTH and the consent by class or series vote
or otherwise, of the holders of the Preferred Stock of such of the series of the
Preferred Stock as are from time to time outstanding shall not be required for
the issuance by the Board of Directors of any other series of Preferred Stock
whether the powers, preferences and rights of such other series shall be fixed
by the Board of Directors as senior to, or on a parity with, the powers,
preferences and rights of such outstanding series, or any of them; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may provide in such resolution or
resolutions adopted with respect to any series of Preferred Stock that the
consent of the holders of a majority (or such greater proportion as shall be
therein fixed) of the outstanding shares of such series voting thereon shall be
required for the issuance of any or all other series of Preferred Stock.

         (d) Shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (subject to the
provisions of paragraph (c) of this Article FOURTH) of the Corporation may be
issued by the Corporation, from time to time, for such consideration, wholly or
partly, in cash, labor done, personal property, or real property or leases
thereof, as may be determined, from time to time, by the Board of Directors, and
such determination by the Board of Directors shall be final and conclusive. All
shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued as herein
provided shall be deemed fully paid stock and not liable for any further call or
assessment thereon, and the holder of such shares shall not be liable for any
further payments in respect thereto.

         (e) No holder of any of the shares of stock of the Corporation of any
class shall be entitled, as such holder, to purchase or subscribe for any
unissued stock of any class or any additional shares of any class to be issued
by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation of
any class, or bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other
securities convertible into stock of the Corporation, or carrying any right to
purchase stock of any class, but any such unissued stock or such additional
authorized issue of any stock or of other securities convertible into stock or
carrying any right to purchase stock may be issued and disposed of pursuant to
resolution of the Board of Directors to such persons, firms, corporations or
associations and upon such terms as may be deemed advisable by the Board of
Directors in exercise of its discretion.
