</TABLE>
(1) The Grant Date Present Values were determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used for the
model are as follows: an option term of 4.7 years, stock
volatility of 66%, dividend yield of 0%, and a risk-free rate
of return of 6.1%. Options will only have values to the extent
the Common Stock Price exceeds the Exercise Prices above. To
fully realize the aggregate values shown above, based upon the
Black-Scholes option model, the Common Stock price must exceed
$25 per share; the options in the above table vest at prices
ranging from $25 to $35. The Grant Date Present Values do not
take into account risk factors such as non-transferability and
limits on exercisability. The Black-Scholes option pricing
model is a commonly utilized model for valuing options. The
model assumes that the possibilities of future stock returns
(dividends plus share price appreciation) resemble a normal
"bell-shaped" curve. In assessing the Grant Date Present
Values indicated in the above table, it should be kept in mind
that no matter what theoretical value is placed on an option on
the date of grant, the ultimate value of the option is
dependent on the market value of the Common Stock at a future
date, which will depend to a large degree on the efforts of the
Named Executives to bring future success to the Company for the
benefit of all stockholders.
The Company does not currently grant stock appreciation rights.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Effective as of November 17, 1997, the Company entered into a
Severance and Change in Control Agreement (the "Agreement") with Mark
Goldman, which supersedes and terminates a previous Severance
Agreement dated October 27, 1994. The Agreement sets forth certain
benefits which are payable if Mr. Goldman's employment is terminated
for various reasons, including termination by the Company (or its
successor) or by him of his employment either prior to or following a
change in control of the Company, as follows (the "Severance
Payment"):
(i) If Mr. Goldman is terminated for other than cause (as
defined in the Agreement) prior to a Change in Control (as
defined in the Agreement), or if Mr. Goldman terminates his
employment for good reason (as defined in the Agreement) prior
to a Change in Control, the Agreement provides that the Company
shall pay to Mr. Goldman a lump sum payment equal to (a) three
times Mr. Goldman's annual base salary, (b) three times an
amount equal to the largest dollar bonus paid (including any
bonus amount that was deferred by Mr. Goldman) in the last five
years, including the year in which Mr. Goldman's termination of
employment occurs (the "Owed Bonus"), and (c) three times the
annual car allowance in effect for Mr. Goldman at the time of
employment termination and three times the annual insurance,
maintenance and gasoline costs incurred for Mr. Goldman's
vehicle during his last full year of employment with the
Company. The Agreement further states that the Company shall
continue to provide Mr. Goldman with medical, health and
welfare and insurance benefits for a period of three years from
the date of Mr. Goldman's termination.
(ii) If Mr. Goldman is terminated by the Company for
other than cause within twenty-four months following a Change
in Control, or if Mr. Goldman terminates his employment for
good reason within twenty-four months following a Change in
Control, the Agreement provides that the Company shall pay to
Mr. Goldman a lump sum payment equal to (a) three times Mr.
Goldman's annual base salary, (b) three times the Owed Bonus,
(c) three times the annual car allowance in effect for Mr.
Goldman at the time of employment termination and three times
the annual insurance, maintenance and gasoline costs incurred
for Mr. Goldman's vehicle during his last full year of
employment with the Company, and (d) the amount of $948,400
(the "Special Payment") and an additional lump sum payment (the
"Make-Whole Payment") in such an amount as to pay any income
taxes and employment taxes on the Special Payment or the Make-
Whole Payment and as to pay the value of the lost tax benefit
caused by the loss of any tax deduction resulting from Mr.
Goldman's receipt of the Special Payment or the Make-Whole
Payment. The Agreement further states that the Company shall
continue to provide Mr. Goldman with medical, health and
welfare and insurance benefits for a period of three years
following the date of Mr. Goldman's termination.
(iii) If Mr. Goldman is terminated for cause, or if Mr.
Goldman terminates his employment for any reason other than for
good reason, the Agreement provides that the Company must pay
to Mr. Goldman his unpaid compensation for services prior to
termination, the value of any accrued unused vacation pay to
the date of termination, and any amounts owed to Mr. Goldman
pursuant to any deferred compensation plan.
The maximum Severance Payment that the Company would have been
required to make under the Agreement if such amount became payable in
the fiscal year 1997 was approximately $6,216,575. In addition, the
Agreement contains a "gross-up" provision which provides that, to the
extent that any Severance Payment is subject to certain excise taxes
occurring as a result of a Change in Control, the Company would make
an additional gross-up payment so that Mr. Goldman would retain an
amount of the Severance Payment equal to the amount he would have
retained had there been no such excise taxes. Mr. Goldman is
employed by the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer
without an employment agreement. The Company has purchased a life
insurance policy in a $2,000,000 face amount for Mr. Goldman, who
designated the beneficiary of such insurance policy.
Each of the Executive Vice Presidents of the Company named in
the Summary Compensation Table, entered into a Severance and Change
in Control Agreement (the "Severance and Change in Control
Agreements") with the Company, dated as of January 1, 1997, as
amended on August 13, 1997 and December 15, 1997. The Severance and
Change in Control Agreements provide, among other things, that if the
executive is terminated other than for Cause the executive is
entitled to continue to receive his salary and certain benefits
(excluding the continuation of any bonus) for a period of twelve
months. These severance payments will be reduced in the event that
the executive commences regular full-time employment during such
period. If there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance
and Change in Control Agreements) and the executive's employment is
terminated voluntarily or involuntarily (other than for Cause) prior
to the first anniversary of a Change in Control, the above-described
severance package is replaced with a lump sum payment equal to three
times such executive's annual salary and bonus (as described in the
Severance and Change in Control Agreements), plus the continuation of
certain benefits for a thirty-six month period of time. If the
executive's employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company
(other than for Cause) during the next twelve months following the
first anniversary of a Change in Control, the executive is entitled
to continue to receive his salary and certain benefits (excluding the
continuation of any bonus) for a period of up to twenty-four months.
Any payment or benefit received pursuant to the Severance and Change
in Control Agreements will be reduced to the extent that such payment
or benefit would be subject to certain excise taxes occurring as a
result of a Change in Control. The Executive Vice Presidents of the
Company named in the Summary Compensation Table are each employed by
the Company in their respective positions without an employment
contract.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10-6(d)
MEMORANDUM
Date: August 13, 1997
To: Gary Niles
From: William G. Catron
Re: Severance/Change in Control Agreement
Attached hereto is a revised page 7 to the above-referenced agreement
that was entered into between you and the Company, dated as of
January 1, 1997.
In paragraph 4(b)(ii), in subparts (x) and (z) we have changed the
word reading "paid" to read "awarded" in connection with the bonus
determination in the event of a payout after a CIC.
This change was necessitated due to the implementation of the
Deferred Compensation Plan. The change will allow for any bonus
dollars that are deferred to be included in the bonus calculations.
If anyone has any questions, please see me. Otherwise, please sign
the duplicate originals of this memo in the place provided below and
initial the attached page, and return one set to me and keep the
other for your personal file.
