In  August 1995,  the  Compensation Committee  of  the Company s  Board  of
Directors  approved the granting of  options to the  executive officers and
certain key employees of  the Company in exchange  for the cancellation  of
then existing options to  purchase Company common stock.   The Compensation
Committee carefully  considered  its  decision  to grant  new  options  and
effectively reduce the exercise price of then existing options.   In making<PAGE>




its decision,  the Compensation  Committee  consulted with  an  independent
compensation  consultant and also considered the  then current market price
of the Company s common stock, the exercise prices at which the options had
previously been granted,  the overall performance  of the Company s  common
stock since  the previous  options had  been issued  and the  importance of
providing  renewed incentive for  the executive  officers and  employees to
continue in the service of the Company and renew interest in the success of
the Company.

      and 20% on each of the second, third, fourth and fifth anniversary dates of the grant.

<F2>  Potential Realizable Value is based on  the assumed annual growth rates of Common Stock for the 10-year option term.
      A 5 %  annual growth rate results in  a stock price of  $16.29 per share and a  10% annual growth rate results  in a
      stock price of  $25.94 per share.   Actual gains, if  any, on stock  options exercised are  dependent on the  future
      performance of the Company s common stock.  There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected  in this table will
      be achieved.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

In  June 1993,  the  Company implemented  a  defined benefit  pension  plan
covering certain  of its  executive  officers. The  Supplemental  Executive
Retirement Plan (the  Plan  ) is  administered by the Board of Directors or
by the  Committee and is intended  to assist the Company  in attracting and
retaining employees  of exceptional ability by  providing certain benefits.
The Plan provides that upon reaching age 65, after 10 years of service with
the  Company and  upon  termination  of  employment  from  the  Company,  a
participant  will  receive  annual benefits,  which  when  added to  Social
Security  Benefits, equal 30% of  the average of  the participant s highest
consecutive 36-month  base  compensation during  the participant s  service
with the Company  ( Average Compensation ). During June 1994, the Committee
approved an  amendment to the Plan  that raised the annual  benefit for the
Company s president to  50% of  Average Compensation when  added to  Social
Security benefits. The Company is the sole contributor to the  Plan and the
cost of  benefits under  the Plan  are recognized as  they accrue  based on
certain future salary and social security benefit assumptions.

The  table below provides certain information with respect to the Company s
named executives  and  the estimated  benefits  payable to  the  respective
executives under the Company s Supplemental Plan.
