</TABLE>
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time by the Selling
Shareholders acting as principals for their own account. The Company is
responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the registration
of the Shares, and will pay brokerage commissions or other charges and
expenses incurred in the sale of the Shares. In addition, the Company has
agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
-7-
/7
The distribution of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders is not
currently subject to any underwriting agreement. The Company has agreed
that in the event the total proceeds from the sale of the Shares received
by the Selling Shareholders are less than a specified amount based upon the
average closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
over the ten trading days prior to the day before the closing date of the
business transaction in which the Selling Shareholders acquired the Shares,
the Company will make a cash payment to the Selling Shareholders equal to
such difference. In addition, at any time during the four-week period
commencing with the date of this Prospectus, the Company may repurchase
from the Selling Shareholders all Shares remaining unsold for a specified
purchase price.
The Shares covered by this Prospectus may be sold by the Selling
Shareholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest from time to time, and it is the intention of the Selling
Shareholders to complete such sales within four weeks of the date of this
Prospectus. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction agreement, the
Selling Shareholders have agreed to cause the Shares to be delivered to
Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. for the purpose of selling, at the Company's
expense, the Shares on the open market during such four-week period. Such
sales may be made at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in the over-
the-counter market, on the New York Stock Exchange or on any other exchange
on which the Shares may then be listed. The Shares may be sold by one or
more of the following: (a) one or more block trades in which a broker or
dealer so engaged will attempt to sell all or a portion of the Shares held
by the Selling Shareholders as agent but may position and resell a portion
of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a
broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
account pursuant to this Prospectus; and (c) ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers. The
Selling Shareholders will effect such transactions by selling Shares
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers will receive compensation
in negotiated amounts in the form of discounts, concessions, commissions or
fees which will be paid by the Company. Such brokers or dealers and the
Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales, and any commissions
received by such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation.
State Street Bank & Trust Company, The BFDS Building, 2 Heritage Drive,
N. Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, is the transfer agent for the Company's
Common Stock.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters with respect to the issuance of the Shares are
being passed upon for the Company by Stephen Korn, Vice President and
General Counsel of the Company. Mr. Korn beneficially owns 44,192 shares
of Common Stock, which number includes 42,800 shares subject to options, as
to which Mr. Korn has the right to acquire beneficial ownership, and 169
shares (as of June 30, 1995) in the Company's Section 401(k) Plan for the
account of Mr. Korn.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
II-2
/12
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
II-3
/13
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1993 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and
