SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller
- ----------------------------------------

               The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management  Committee")  comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein. SFM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has its principal
office at 888  Seventh  Avenue,  33rd  Floor,  New  York,  New York  10106.  Its
principal  business  is  to  serve,  pursuant  to  contract,  as  the  principal
investment  manager to several foreign  investment  companies,  including Quasar
Partners (the "SFM  Clients").  SFM LLC has been granted  investment  discretion
over portfolio investments, including the Shares, held for the account of Quasar
Partners.  Quasar  Partners  has  its  principal  office  at Kaya  Flamboyan  9,
Willemstad,  Curacao,  Netherlands  Antilles.  SFM LLC's  contracts with the SFM
Clients  generally  provide  that  SFM  LLC is  responsible  for  designing  and
implementing  the SFM Clients'  overall  investment  strategies;  for conducting
direct  portfolio  management  strategies to the extent that SFM LLC  determines
that it is appropriate to utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for
selecting,  evaluating  and  monitoring  other  investment  advisors  who manage
separate  portfolios  on  behalf  of the SFM  Clients;  and for  allocating  and
reallocating the SFM Clients' assets among the outside managers and itself.

               Mr. Soros,  as Chairman of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the
investment  decisions  of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed  to have  investment
discretion  over the  Shares  held  for the  account  of  Quasar  Partners.  Mr.
Druckenmiller,  as Lead Portfolio  Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct
the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion over the Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners. Set forth in
Annex A hereto and  incorporated  by  reference  in  response to this Item 2 and
elsewhere in this Schedule 13D as applicable is a list of the Managing Directors
of SFM LLC (the executive officers of SFM LLC).

               The principal  occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States  citizen,
is his  direction  of the  activities  of SFM LLC,  which is carried  out in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.

               The principal  occupation of Mr.  Druckenmiller,  a United States
citizen,  is  his  position  as  Lead  Portfolio  Manager  and a  Member  of the
Management  Committee  of SFM LLC,  which is carried out at SFM LLC's  principal
office.

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the

Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be
deemed a beneficial  owner of the Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners
as a result of the  contractual  authority  of SFM LLC to  exercise  voting  and
dispositive power with respect to such Shares.

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the
Act, SFM LLC, pursuant to the provisions of the QIP Contract,  Mr. Soros, in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC, and Mr. Druckenmiller,  in his capacity as Lead
Portfolio  Manager  of SFM LLC,  each may be  deemed a  beneficial  owner of the
Shares held for the account of QIP.

               During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, Quasar
Partners and, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge,  any other person
identified  in  response  to this Item 2 has been (a)  convicted  in a  criminal
proceeding,  or (b) a party to any civil  proceeding as a result of which he has
been subject to a judgment,  decree or final order enjoining  future  violations
of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating  activities  subject  to,  federal  or state
securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               On February  21, 1997,  QIP entered into a Common Stock  Purchase
Agreement  (the  "Purchase  Agreement")  with the Issuer,  a copy of the form of
which is attached  hereto as Exhibit E and  incorporated  herein by reference in
response  to this Item 3,  pursuant  to which QIP  expended  $11,430,000  of its
working capital to purchase 600,000 Shares.

               The Shares held for the accounts of QIP,  Quasar  Partners and/or
other SFM Clients may be held through margin  accounts  maintained with brokers,
which extend margin  credit as and when  required to open or carry  positions in
their margin accounts,  subject to applicable federal margin regulations,  stock
exchange rules and such firms' credit policies.  The Shares which may be held in
the margin  accounts are pledged as  collateral  security  for the  repayment of
debit balances in the respective accounts.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

               All of the Shares  reported herein as having been acquired for or
disposed of from the accounts of QIP and/or  Quasar  Partners  were  acquired or
disposed of for  investment  purposes.  Neither Quasar  Partners,  the Reporting
Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the other persons identified
in response to Item 2, has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result
in any of the transactions  described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4
of Schedule 13D.

               SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  reserve the right to
acquire,  or cause to be  acquired,  additional  securities  of the  Issuer,  to
dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate
other  purposes,  plans  or  proposals  regarding  the  Issuer  or  any  of  its
securities,  to the extent deemed  advisable in light of general  investment and
trading policies of the Reporting Persons and/or SFM Clients,  market conditions
or other factors.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a) (i) Each of QIP,  QIHMI and QIH  Management may be deemed the
beneficial   owner  of  the   600,000   Shares  held  for  the  account  of  QIP
(approximately 5.99% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

                    (ii) Each of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be
deemed the beneficial owners of 624,500 Shares (approximately 6.24% of the total
number of Shares outstanding).  This number includes (A) 600,000 Shares held for
the  account  of QIP and (B)  24,500  Shares  held  for the  account  of  Quasar
Partners.  Quasar  Partners  previously  entered  into  an  investment  advisory
contract with Oracle Investment  Management,  Inc. ("OIM") pursuant to which OIM
was granted  investment  discretion  over certain funds of Quasar  Partners (the
"OIM Contract").  The 24,500 Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners were
acquired at the direction of OIM pursuant to the OIM Contract.  As a consequence
of SFM  LLC's  ability  to  terminate  the  OIM  Contract  with  respect  to all
investments,  including  those  involving  the Shares,  and  acquire  voting and
dispositive power over the Shares within 60 days,  notwithstanding the fact that
none of SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller currently exercises such power,
SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr.  Druckenmiller  may be deemed the beneficial owner of
the Shares held for the account of Quasar Partners at OIM.

               (b) (i) Each of QIP, QIHMI, QIH Management and SFM LLC (by virtue
of the QIP  contract)  may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting
and disposition of the 600,000 Shares held for the account of QIP.

                    (ii) By virtue of the QIP  Contract and as a result of their
positions with SFM LLC, each of Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller may be deemed to
have shared  power to direct the voting and  disposition  of the 600,000  Shares
held for the account of QIP.

                    (iii) OIM is currently  vested with sole power to direct the
voting and disposition of the 24,500 Shares held for the account Quasar Partners
as a result of the OIM Contract. SFM LLC has the contractual authority on behalf
of Quasar  Partners  to  terminate  the OIM  Contract  within 60 days and,  as a
result,  SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros  and Mr.  Druckenmiller  may be deemed to have the
ability to acquire the voting and dispositive  power held by OIM with respect to
the 24,500 Shares.

               (c) Except for the transaction  described in Item 3 and Item 6 in
which QIP  purchased  600,000  Shares at a price of $19.05 per Share,  which was
effected at the direction of SFM LLC pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement entered
into with the Issuer,  there have been no transactions  effected with respect to
the Shares since  December 30, 1996 (60 days prior to the date hereof) by any of
the Reporting Persons or Quasar Partners.

               (d) (i) The  shareholders of QIP,  including  Quantum  Industrial
Holdings,  Ltd., a British Virgin Islands  international  business company, have
the right to participate in the receipt of dividends  from, or proceeds from the
sale of,  the  Shares  held for the  account  of QIP in  accordance  with  their
ownership interests in QIP.

                    (ii) The  partners  of  Quasar  Partners,  including  Quasar
International Fund N.V., a Netherland  Antilles  corporation,  have the right to
participate in the receipt of dividends  from, or proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares,  held for the  account  of Quasar  Partners  in  accordance  with  their
partnership interests in Quasar Partners.

               (e) Not applicable.

Item 6.        Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings  or Relationships  with
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

               In connection with its acquisition of the Shares reported herein,
QIP  entered  into the  Purchase  Agreement  which  is  incorporated  herein  by
reference.  The  description  of the terms of the  Purchase  Agreement  below is
qualified  in its  entirety by  reference  to the  specific  provisions  of such
agreement.

               Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase  Agreement,  QIP agreed not
to sell or  otherwise  transfer  the  Shares  purchased  thereunder  except in a
transaction  registered  under the Securities Act, unless an exemption from such
registration is available.

               Section 7.2 of the Purchase  Agreement  provides  that the Issuer
shall file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 covering all
of the Shares issued and sold to QIP pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement  within
thirty (30) days after the Closing (as defined in the  Purchase  Agreement)  and
shall  use its best  efforts  to cause  such  registration  statement  to become
effective as soon as practicable  thereafter.  Section 7.2 further provides that
the  Issuer  has the  right,  for a period  not to  exceed  thirty  (30) days in
duration and upon written notice to QIP, to prohibit the sale of the Shares sold
to QIP pursuant to such  registration  statement  effected under Section 7.2, in
certain  circumstances  described  therein.  Provisions  regarding  the Issuer's
obligations to maintain the  effectiveness  of such  registration  statement are
also described in Section 7.2.

               From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons, Quasar Partners
and/or the other SFM Clients may lend portfolio securities to brokers,  banks or
other financial  institutions.  These loans  typically  obligate the borrower to
return the  securities,  or an equal amount of securities of the same class,  to
the lender and  typically  provide  that the  borrower  is  entitled to exercise
voting rights and to retain  dividends during the term of the loan. From time to
time,  to the  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  each of such  persons or
entities may borrow Shares for the purpose of effecting,  and may effect,  short
sale  transactions,  and may purchase  securities for the purpose of closing out
short positions in such securities.

               Except as described above, the Reporting Persons, Quasar Partners
and/or  the  other  SFM  Clients  do  not  have  any  contracts,   arrangements,
understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

Agreement,  and all of such documents  conformed in all material respects to the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations  thereunder as of
their respective  filing dates. None of the SEC Documents as of their respective
dates  contained  any untrue  statement  of material  fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
made  therein,  in light of the  circumstances  under which they were made,  not
misleading.  The  financial  statements  of the  Company  included  in  the  SEC
Documents  (the  "Financial  Statements")  comply  as to  form  in all  material

and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  The Financial  Statements have
been  prepared in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles
consistently  applied and fairly present the consolidated  financial position of
the  Company and any  subsidiaries  at the dates  thereof  and the  consolidated
results of their  operations  and  consolidated  cash flows for the periods then
ended  (subject,  in the case of  unaudited  statements,  to  normal,  recurring
adjustments that are not in the aggregate material).

                   ------------------------------------------------------------
Each  Purchaser  hereby  severally  represents  and  warrants  to  the  Company,
effective as of the Closing Date, as follows:

               4.1  Authorization.  Purchaser  represents  and  warrants  to the
                    -------------
Company that: (i) Purchaser has all requisite legal and corporate or other power
and  capacity and has taken all  requisite  corporate or other action to execute
and  deliver  this  Agreement,  to  purchase  the  shares of Common  Stock to be

                                       3

purchased by it and to carry out and perform all of its  obligations  under this
Agreement;  and (ii) this  Agreement  constitutes  the legal,  valid and binding
obligation of the Purchaser,  enforceable in accordance  with its terms,  except
(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization, or similar
laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
(b) as limited by equitable principles generally.

               4.2 Investor Qualifications;  Investment Experience. Purchaser is
                   -----------------------------------------------
an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and
Purchaser is a  "qualified  institutional  buyer" as defined in Rule  144A(a)(1)
under the Securities Act.  Purchaser is aware of the Company's  business affairs
and  financial  condition  and has had  access  to and has  acquired  sufficient
information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to
acquire the shares of Common  Stock.  Purchaser  has such business and financial
experience  as is required to give it the capacity to protect its own  interests
in connection with the purchase of the shares of Common Stock.

               4.3  Investment  Intent.  Purchaser is  purchasing  the shares of
                    ------------------
Common  Stock in the  ordinary  course of its  business  for its own  account as
principal, for investment purposes only, and not with a present view to, or for,
resale,  distribution or fractionalization  thereof, in whole or in part, within
the  meaning of the  Securities  Act. No  arrangement  or  understanding  exists
between the Purchaser and any other person regarding the resale, distribution or
fractionalization of the shares of Common Stock, in whole or in part, within the
meaning of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the
shares  of Common  Stock has not been  registered  under the  Securities  Act or
registered or qualified  under any state  securities law in reliance on specific
exemptions therefrom,  which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the
bona fide nature of Purchaser's investment intent as expressed herein. Purchaser
has  completed or caused to be  completed  and  delivered  to the  Company,  the
Purchaser  Questionnaire  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit  A.  Purchaser  has,  in
                                                ----------
connection  with its  decision to purchase  the number of shares of Common Stock
set forth in Schedule I hereto,  relied  solely upon the  documents  attached as
             ----------
appendices  thereto  and  the  representations  and  warranties  of the  Company
contained  herein.  Purchaser  will not,  directly or indirectly,  offer,  sell,
pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase
or  otherwise  acquire or take a pledge  of) any of the  shares of Common  Stock
except in  compliance  with the  Securities  Act, and the rules and  regulations
promulgated thereunder.

               4.4  Registration or Exemption  Requirements.  Purchaser  further
                    --------------------------------------- 
acknowledges  and understands  that the shares of Common Stock may not be resold
or otherwise transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities
Act or unless  an  exemption  from such  registration  is  available.  Purchaser
understands that the  certificate(s)  evidencing the shares of Common Stock will
be imprinted  with a legend that  prohibits the transfer of the shares of Common
Stock unless (i) they are registered or such  registration is not required,  and
(ii) if the transfer is pursuant to an exemption  from  registration  other than
Rule 144 under the  Securities  Act and,  if the  Company  shall so  request  in
writing,  an  opinion  of  counsel  reasonably  satisfactory  to the  Company is
obtained to the effect that the transaction is so exempt.

               4.5 No Legal,  Tax or Investment  Advice.  Purchaser  understands
                   ------------------------------------ 
that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials  presented to Purchaser in
connection with the purchase and sale of the shares of Common Stock  constitutes

legal,  tax or investment  advice.  Purchaser has consulted such legal,  tax and
investment  advisors  as it, in its sole  discretion,  has deemed  necessary  or
appropriate in connection with its purchase of the shares of Common Stock.

               5.  Conditions  to  Purchasers'  Obligations.   Each  Purchaser's

all material  respects when made,  and shall be true and correct in all material
respects on the Closing  Date with the same force and effect as if they had been
made on and as of said date.  Purchasers  shall have received a  certificate  to
such effect,  dated the Closing Date and executed by the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company.

               5.2 Legal  Opinion.  The  Purchasers  shall have received a legal

the matters  referred to in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, and otherwise  reasonably

the  Purchasers  in Section 4 hereof  shall be true and correct in all  material
respects  when made,  and shall be true and correct in all material  respects on
the Closing  Date with the same force and effect as if they had been made on and
as of such date.

               6.2  Payment  of  Purchase  Price.   Each  Purchaser  shall  have

               6.3 Covenants. All covenants, agreements and conditions contained
                   ---------

                   --------
sky law permits and qualifications, or secured exemptions therefrom, required by

               7.  Affirmative  Covenants  of the  Company.  The Company  hereby
                   ---------------------------------------
covenants and agrees as follows:

               7.1  Financial  Information.  The Company will mail the following
                    ----------------------  
reports to each Purchaser until such Purchaser  transfers,  assigns or sells the
shares of Common Stock purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement:

                    (a) Within one  hundred  twenty  (120) days after the end of
each fiscal year, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                    (b)  Within  sixty  (60) days  after  the end of the  first,
second  and  third  quarterly  accounting  periods  of each  fiscal  year of the
Company, a copy of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

                    (c) Within ten (10) days after the Company files any Current
Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, such Current Report on Form 8-K.

               7.2  Registration.   The  Company  shall  file  with  the  SEC  a
                    ------------ 
registration  statement  on Form S-3  covering all of the shares of Common Stock
issued and sold to the Purchasers  pursuant hereto within thirty (30) days after
the closing  hereunder and shall use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become  effective as soon as  practicable  thereafter.  The Company
agrees to keep such  registration  statement  in effect until the earlier of (i)
such date as all of the  shares  of Common  Stock  covered  by the  registration
statement  have been  resold  or (ii)  such time as all of the  shares of Common
Stock  purchased  hereunder by each Purchaser can be sold within a 90-day period
without  compliance  with the  registration  requirements  of the Securities Act
pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder.  Notwithstanding  anything else in this Section
7.2, the Company  shall have the right,  for a period not to exceed  thirty (30)
days in duration and upon written notice to each of the Purchasers,  to prohibit
the sale of the  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  and  sold to the  Purchasers
hereunder pursuant to a registration  statement effected under this Section 7.2,
in the  event  that the  Company's  Board of  Directors,  pursuant  to advice of
counsel, deems it necessary,  in light of a pending or potential corporate event
which has  resulted  in  material  nonpublic  information  not yet  having  been
disseminated  by  the  Company  or  otherwise   included  in  such  registration
statement,  to prohibit such sales until such  information can be made public or
included in such  registration  statement.  The Company shall within such thirty
(30) days add any necessary disclosure to the registration  statement and notify
the Purchasers that they are no longer  prohibited from selling shares of Common
Stock under such registration statement.

               With  respect  to any  registration  effected  pursuant  to  this
Section 7.2, the parties further agree as follows:

               (a) The  Company  shall  prepare  and  file  with  the  SEC  such
amendments and supplements to any such registration statement and the prospectus
used in  connection  with such  registration  statement  as may be  necessary to
comply with the  provisions  of the Act with respect to the  disposition  of all
securities covered by such registration statement.

               (b) The Company shall furnish to the  Purchasers  such numbers of
copies of a prospectus,  including a preliminary prospectus,  in conformity with
the  requirements  of the Act, and such other  documents as they may  reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable  Securities  owned
by the Purchasers.

               (c) The Company shall bear all expenses  other than  underwriting
discounts and commissions incurred in connection with such registration,  filing

or qualification,  including (without  limitation) all registration,  filing and
qualification  fees,  printer's and accounting  fees, fees and  disbursements of
counsel  for the  Company,  and the  reasonable  fees and  disbursements  of one
counsel for the Purchasers.

               (d) The parties agree to the following indemnification rights and
obligations:

                    (i) To the  extent  permitted  by  law,  the  Company  shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls
such Purchaser  within the meaning of the Act or the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934,  as amended  (the "1934 Act"),  against any losses,  claims,  damages,  or
liabilities  (joint or several) to which they may become  subject under the Act,
or other  federal or state law,  insofar as such  losses,  claims,  damages,  or
liabilities  (or actions in respect  thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
of  the  following   statements,   omissions  or  violations   (collectively   a
"Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact  contained  in  such  registration  statement,  including  any  preliminary
prospectus  or  final  prospectus   contained   therein  or  any  amendments  or
supplements  thereto;  (ii) the omission or alleged  omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not  misleading;  or (iii) any  violation  or alleged  violation  by the
Company  of the Act,  the 1934  Act,  any  state  securities  law or any rule or
regulation  promulgated  under the Act, or any state securities law. The Company
will pay to each  Purchaser or  controlling  person any legal or other  expenses
reasonably  incurred  by them  (such  payment  to be made  as  incurred  by such
persons) in connection  with  investigating  or defending any such loss,  claim,
damage,  liability, or action;  provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this paragraph (d)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such loss,  claim,  damage,  liability,  or action if such  settlement is
effected  without  the  consent  of the  Company  (which  consent  shall  not be
unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any
such loss, claim, damage,  liability, or action to the extent that it arises out
of or is based upon a Violation  which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written  information  furnished  expressly for use in connection  with such
registration by the Purchaser or controlling person.

                    (ii) To the extent  permitted by law,  each  Purchaser  will
indemnify  and hold  harmless the Company,  each of its  directors,  each of its
officers who has signed the registration statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, against any losses,  claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons
may become  subject,  under the Act, or other  federal or state law,  insofar as
such losses,  claims,  damages,  or liabilities (or actions in respect  thereto)
arise out of or are based upon any  Violation,  in each case to the extent  (and
only  to the  extent)  that  such  Violation  occurs  in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity with written  information  furnished by such Purchaser  expressly for
use in connection with such registration;  and such Purchaser will pay any legal
or other expenses  reasonably  incurred by any person intended to be indemnified
pursuant to this paragraph  (d)(ii) (such payment to be made as incurred by such
persons),  in connection with  investigating or defending any such loss,  claim,
damage,  liability, or action;  provided,  however, that the indemnity agreement
contained  in  this  paragraph  (d)(ii)  shall  not  apply  to  amounts  paid in

                                       7

                                                             Page 30 of 34 Pages

settlement  of any  such  loss,  claim,  damage,  liability  or  action  if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall
not be  unreasonably  withheld;  provided  that in no event shall any  indemnity
under this paragraph exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by the
Purchaser, unless such Violation by the Purchaser is wilful.

                    (iii) Promptly  after receipt by an indemnified  party under
this paragraph (d) of notice of the  commencement  of any action  (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any  indemnifying  party under this paragraph (d), deliver
to the indemnifying  party a written notice of the commencement  thereof and the
indemnifying  party shall have the right to  participate  in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying  party so desires,  jointly with any other  indemnifying  party
similarly  noticed,   to  assume  the  defense  thereof  with  counsel  mutually
satisfactory  to the  parties;  provided,  however,  that an  indemnified  party
(together with all other  indemnified  parties which may be represented  without
conflict by one counsel)  shall have the right to retain one  separate  counsel,
with  the  fees  and  expenses  to  be  paid  by  the  indemnifying   party,  if
representation  of  such  indemnified  party  by  the  counsel  retained  by the
indemnifying  party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential  differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel  in such  proceeding.  The  failure  to  deliver  written  notice to the
indemnifying  party within a  reasonable  time of the  commencement  of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,  shall relieve such
indemnifying  party  of  any  liability  to the  indemnified  party  under  this
paragraph (d), but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party will not relieve it of any liability  that it may have to any  indemnified
party otherwise than under this paragraph (d).

               8. Restrictions on  Transferability  of Common Stock;  Compliance
                  --------------------------------------------------------------
with Securities Act. The shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall not be

exemption  therefrom  or in the  absence  of  compliance  with  any term of this
Agreement.  The Company shall be entitled to give stop transfer  instructions to

foregoing restrictions.

Agreement   shall  be   judicially   determined   to  be  invalid,   illegal  or
unenforceable,  the  validity,  legality  and  enforceability  of the  remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

               9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
