CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Zapata's executive officers participate or have participated in certain stock option and incentive plans, retirement and profit sharing/401(k) plans sponsored by Zapata, some of which are intended to qualify for tax-favored treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). These plans include Zapata's Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Zapata Pension Plan ("Pension Plan"), the Zapata Supplemental Pension Benefit Plan and the Zapata Corporation 401(k) Plan. The Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 LTIP") was approved by the stockholders on December 5, 1996. The 1996 LTIP provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options to key employees of the Company. Under the 1996 LTIP, options may be granted by the Committee at prices equivalent to the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options become exercisable in one or more installments on such dates as the Committee may determine. Unexercised options will expire on varying dates up to a maximum of ten years from the date of grant. During 1999, the stockholders amended and restated the 1996 LTIP to increase the number of shares available for options granted under the plan from 500,000 to 1,000,000 shares. At December 31, 2003, stock options covering a total of 104,566 shares had been exercised and a total of 738,550 shares of common stock are available for future stock options or other awards under the 1996 LTIP. As of December 31, 2003 there were options for the purchase of up to 156,884 shares outstanding under the 1996 LTIP. Zapata maintains a pension plan that is a non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan and is intended to qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a). All employees of Zapata are eligible. Highly compensated employees (generally, employees who own more than 5% of the stock of Zapata and employees earning in excess of $85,000) became eligible to participate on January 1, 2002. Based on the January 1, 2002 plan amendment, highly compensated employees were credited with up to 5 years of prior service. An employee becomes a participant upon

completion of one-year of service (1,000 hours in a computation period) or attainment of age 21, whichever is later. Retirement benefits under the pension plan are based on an employee's length of employment, average monthly compensation and social security covered compensation. Compensation for this purpose includes salary and other compensation paid by Zapata and reportable on Form W-2, but excludes fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), including compensation related to stock option plans which is reported in the above Summary Compensation Table. The Code limits the amount of compensation that may be considered ($200,000 for 2003) and the annual benefits which may be payable from the pension plan. Pension plan participants are 100% vested in accrued benefits after five years of vesting service. The following table shows the estimated annual benefit payable to employees on retirement under Zapata's pension plan to employees in the specified compensation and years of service classification. The retirement benefits shown are based upon an employee retiring at age 65 in 2003 who elect to receive benefits in the form of a single life annuity (although a participant can select other methods of calculating benefits). The amounts shown are based on current average social security wage base amounts and are not subject to any deduction for social security or other offset amounts.

As a result of the January 2002 amendment to the pension plan, Zapata's Named Officers who are currently employed by the Company are now eligible to participate under the Pension Plan. The compensation covered by the pension plan includes the annual salaries and bonus of Messrs. Avram Glazer and Leonard DiSalvo, but no other amounts shown in the above Summary Compensation table. Estimated credited years of service for Mr. Glazer is 7 years, and for Mr. DiSalvo is 5 years. Amounts shown in the pension plan table are subject to deductions to for social security. The Zapata Supplemental Pension Plan was adopted effective April 1, 1992. This plan provides supplemental retirement payments to certain former senior executives of Zapata. The amounts of such payments equal the difference between the amounts received under the applicable pension plan and the amounts that would otherwise be received if pension plan payments were not reduced as the result of the limitations upon compensation and benefits imposed by federal law. Effective December 1994, the supplemental pension plan was frozen, except with respect to benefits already accrued. The Zapata 401(k) Plan is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. Under the Plan, 3 types of contributions are authorized: (1) employee pre-tax, salary reduction contributions ("elective deferrals"); (2) matching employer contributions for participants who make elective deferrals to the Plan ; and (3) discretionary employer contributions, based on cash flow, profitability and other financial circumstances as Zapata determines to be relevant. The matching contribution formula is 100% on elective deferrals up to 3% of compensation for the year and 50% of all deferral contributions of more than 3%; elective deferrals exceeding 5% of compensation for the year are not matched. All employees are eligible for participation in the elective deferral and matching contribution

features of the plan upon attainment of age 21 or completion of 3 months of service, whichever is later. For the purposes of employer discretionary contributions, an employee enters the plan after completing 1 year of service or attaining age 21, whichever is later. Matching contributions are fully vested while discretionary employer contributions, if any, vest 20% for each year of vesting service. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The following table indicates the number of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially as of March 31, 2004 by - each person known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, - each director, - the Named Officers, and - all directors and executive officers as a group.

The Company does not know of any arrangements, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

Shares of the subsidiary's common stock subject to options exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2004 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of the person holding such option but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
