                       COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS

    In fiscal year 1995 the members of the Committee were Louis B. Sullivan,

DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION

    Directors who also are Company employees receive no compensation for
serving as directors.  Non-employee directors are paid a retainer of $6,000 per
year and receive $1,500 for each Board of Directors' meeting attended and are
reimbursed for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending those meetings.
No compensation is paid for attending meetings of Committees of the Board of
Directors on which directors serve.  Pursuant to the Company's 1993 Employee
Stock Option Plan, each year each non-employee director is automatically
granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of Company stock at an exercise
price that is equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant.  These options become fully exercisable six months after the date of
grant.  Upon joining the Board, each new non-employee director receives an
option to purchase 2,000 shares, which becomes exercisable in full one year
after the date of grant.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

    Based on its review of copies of reporting forms and certifications of the
Company's directors and executive officers, the Company believes that all
filing requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
applicable to its directors and executive officers in the year ended December
31, 1995 were satisfied.
