Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
                  ------------------------------------------

                  Article III of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation sets
forth certain rights of directors and officers of the Corporation to
indemnification. Under Article III, the liabilities against which a director and
officer may be indemnified and factors employed to determine whether a director
and officer is entitled to indemnification in a particular instance depend on
whether the proceeding in which the claim for indemnification arises was brought
(a) other than by and in the right of the Corporation ("Third Party Actions") or
(b) by and in the right of the Corporation ("Derivative Actions").

                  In Third Party Actions, the Corporation will indemnify each
director and officer against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with any threatened or actual proceeding in which
he may be involved by reason of his having acted in such capacity, if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation and with respect to any matter the subject
of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.

                  In Derivative Actions, the Corporation will indemnify each
director and officer against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of any
such proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation except that no
indemnification is permitted with respect to any matter as to which such person
has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the Corporation unless a court determines such person is entitled
to indemnification.

                  Unless indemnification is ordered by a court, the
determination as to whether or not an individual has satisfied the applicable
standards of conduct (and therefore may be indemnified) is made by the
Corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors of the
Corporation who were not parties to the action, or if such a quorum is not
obtainable, or if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders of the Corporation.

                  Article III of the Code of Regulations does not limit in any
way other indemnification rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled.

                  The Corporation maintains insurance policies which presently
provide protection, within the maximum liability limits of the policies and
subject to a deductible amount for each claim, to the Corporation under its
indemnification obligations and to the directors and officers with respect to
certain matters which are not covered by the Corporation's indemnification
obligations.

Item 7.           Exemption from Registration Claimed.
                  ------------------------------------

Item 9.           Undertakings.
                  -------------

         (a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement:

                           (i) To include any prospectus required by section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act");

                           (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 this 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 the undertakings set forth in 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 Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, 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
bonafide 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 further undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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 bonafide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     Whether or not an employee applies his accumulated payroll deductions or
cash payments to the purchase of the Shares or elects to withdraw from the Plan
and receive payment of the amount of his accumulated payroll deductions or cash

payments, with interest as provided herein, or (ii) have issued to such employee
the number of whole Shares fully paid for by such employee to such date and any
excess in cash.

12.      Termination of Employment.
         --------------------------

     If a participating employee ceases to be employed for any reason prior to

recapitalization of the Corporation with respect to its Shares resulting in a
split-up or combination or exchange of Shares the number and kind of shares then
subject to options granted to eligible employees under the Plan shall be
proportionately and appropriately adjusted by the Board without any change in
the aggregate purchase prices to be paid therefor.

15.      Administration.
         ---------------

     The Plan will be administered by an Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee
composed of three members to be selected from time to time by the Board. The
Committee may prescribe rules and regulations from time to time for the
administration of the Plan and may decide questions which may arise with respect
to its interpretation or application. The Committee shall interpret and apply

16.      Share Ownership.
         ----------------

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no employee shall be
entitled to place any Shares under option under the Plan if such employee,
immediately after the placing of such Shares under option, owns Shares
(including all shares which may be purchased under outstanding options)
possessing 5 percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
classes of shares of the Corporation or of its parent or subsidiary corporation.
For the foregoing purposes the rules of section 424(d) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 shall apply in determining share ownership. Also, no employee shall
be granted an option under the Plan which permits his rights to purchase Shares
under all Share purchase plans of the Corporation and its parent and subsidiary
corporations to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of
such shares (determined at the time such option is granted) for each calendar
year in which such option is outstanding at any time.

17.      Renewal of the Plan by the Board.
         ---------------------------------

     The Board may, in its discretion, renew the Plan for four one year periods
with such changes therein as it deems appropriate provided that the Plan, as
amended, continues to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the
meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

18.      Shareholder Approval.
         ---------------------

     The Plan is subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the Shares
constituting a quorum and present, in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the
Shareholders of the Corporation held on or before November 7, 1997.

     have been duly authorized and, when issued or sold and paid for in
     accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid
     and non-assessable.

     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to KRUG's Registration
Statement on Form S-8 with respect to the Plan.
