SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 
amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's officers and 
directors, and any persons who own more than ten percent of the 
Company's Common Shares to file reports of initial ownership of the 
Company's Common Stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock 
Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial 
owners are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all 
Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of the 
copies of the forms furnished to the Company, or written 
representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were 
required, the Company believes that it complied with all Section 
16(a) filing requirements during the 1997 fiscal year, except that

(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.




AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END 
OPTION VALUES

        The following table sets forth information with respect to the 
options exercised by the Named Executives during the 1997 fiscal year

        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(a)

MEMORANDUM



Date:           August 13, 1997

To:             William G. Catron

From:           Mark D. Goldman

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.
