                                     EXPERTS

     The financial statements  incorporated in this Prospectus by reference from
the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  January 31, 1997
have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent  auditors,  as stated in
their  report,  which  is  incorporated  herein  by  reference,  and has been so
incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority
as experts in accounting and auditing.

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of  the  State  of  Delaware
provides  for the  indemnification  of  officers  and  directors  under  certain
circumstances  against  expenses  incurred in successfully  defending  against a
claim and  authorizes  Delaware  corporations  to indemnify  their  officers and
directors under certain  circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred
in legal  proceedings  involving  such persons  because of their being or having
been an officer or director.

     Section  102(b)  of  the  Delaware   General   Corporation  Law  permits  a
corporation,  by so providing in its certificate of incorporation,  to eliminate
or limit  director's  liability  to the  corporation  and its  stockholders  for
monetary  damages  arising out of certain  alleged  breaches of their  fiduciary
duty. Section 102(b)(7) provides that no such limitation of liability may affect
a director's liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;  (ii) acts or
omissions  not made in good faith or which  involve  intentional  misconduct  of
knowing  violations  of  law;  (iii)  liability  for  dividends  paid  or  stock
repurchased or redeemed in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
(iv) any  transaction  from  which the  director  derived an  improper  personal
benefit.  Section  102(b)(7) does not authorize any limitation on the ability of
the  corporation  or its  stockholders  to obtain  injunctive  relief,  specific
performance or other equitable relief against directors.

     Article Ninth of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that a
director shall not be personally  liable to the Company or its  stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except: (i) for any
breach of the duty of loyalty;  (ii) for acts or omissions  not in good faith or
which involve  intentional  misconduct or knowing  violations of law;  (iii) for
liability under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to
certain unlawful dividends, stock repurchases or stock redemptions); or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived any improper  personal  benefit.
The effect of this  provision in the  Certificate  is to eliminate the rights of
the Company and its  stockholders  (through  stockholders'  derivative  suits on
behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach
of the fiduciary duty of care as a director  (including  breaches resulting from
negligent or grossly negligent  behavior) except in certain limited  situations.
This  provision  does not limit or  eliminate  the rights of the  Company or any
stockholder to seek  non-monetary  relief such as an injunction or rescission in
the event of a breach of a director's  duty of care.  These  provisions will not
alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.

     Article Tenth of the Company's  Certificate of Incorporation  provides that
all persons who the Company is empowered to indemnify pursuant to the provisions
of Section 145 of the General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware (or any
similar provision or provisions of applicable law at the time in effect),  shall
be  indemnified  by the  Company  to the  full  extent  permitted  thereby.  The
foregoing  right of  indemnification  shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking  indemnification  may be entitled  under any
by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

     The  Company's  By-Laws  (the  "By-Laws")  provide  that the Company  shall
indemnify each director and such of the Company's officers, employees and agents
as the Board of  Directors  shall  determine  from  time to time to the  fullest
extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

       The  Company  currently  maintains  directors'  and  officers'  liability
insurance  coverage  for  all  directors  and  officers  and  has  entered  into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers.

     Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant
to the foregoing  provision or  otherwise,  the Company 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.

Registrant's Common Stock.




     ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of  the  State  of  Delaware
provides  for the  indemnification  of  officers  and  directors  under  certain
circumstances  against  expenses  incurred in successfully  defending  against a
claim and  authorizes  Delaware  corporations  to indemnify  their  officers and
directors under certain  circumstances against expenses and liabilities incurred
in legal  proceedings  involving  such persons  because of their being or having
been an officer or director.

     Section  102(b)  of  the  Delaware   General   Corporation  Law  permits  a
corporation,  by so providing in its certificate of incorporation,  to eliminate
or limit  director's  liability  to the  corporation  and its  stockholders  for
monetary  damages  arising out of certain  alleged  breaches of their  fiduciary
duty. Section 102(b)(7) provides that no such limitation of liability may affect
a director's liability with respect to any of the following: (i) breaches of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;  (ii) acts or
omissions  not made in good faith or which  involve  intentional  misconduct  of
knowing  violations  of  law;  (iii)  liability  for  dividends  paid  or  stock
repurchased or redeemed in violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
(iv) any  transaction  from  which the  director  derived an  improper  personal
benefit.  Section  102(b)(7) does not authorize any limitation on the ability of
the  corporation  or its  stockholders  to obtain  injunctive  relief,  specific
performance or other equitable relief against directors.

     Article Ninth of the  registrant's  Certificate of  Incorporation  provides
that a  director  shall  not be  personally  liable  to  the  Registrant  or its
stockholders  for monetary  damages for breach of fiduciary  duty as a director,
except:  (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty;  (ii) for acts or  omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional  misconduct or knowing violations
of  law;  (iii)  for  liability  under  Section  174  of  the  Delaware  General
Corporation Law (relating to certain unlawful  dividends,  stock  repurchases or
stock redemptions);  or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived
any improper personal  benefit.  The effect of this provision in the Certificate
is to  eliminate  the rights of the  Registrant  and its  stockholders  (through
stockholders'  derivative suits on behalf of the Registrant) to recover monetary
damages  against  a  director  for  breach  of the  fiduciary  duty of care as a
director  (including  breaches  resulting  from  negligent or grossly  negligent
behavior) except in certain limited situations. This provision does not limit or
eliminate the rights of the Registrant or any  stockholder to seek  non-monetary
relief  such as an  injunction  or  rescission  in the  event of a  breach  of a
director's  duty of care.  These  provisions  will not  alter the  liability  of
directors under federal securities laws.

     Article Tenth of the  registrant's  Certificate of  Incorporation  provides
that all persons who the  registrant  is empowered to indemnify  pursuant to the
provisions  of  Section  145 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the  State  of
Delaware (or any similar  provision or provisions of applicable  law at the time
in effect),  shall be indemnified by the registrant to the full extent permitted
thereby.  The  foregoing  right of  indemnification  shall  not be  deemed to be
exclusive  of any other  rights to which those  seeking  indemnification  may be
entitled under any by-law,  agreement,  vote of  stockholders  or  disinterested
directors or otherwise.

     The Registrant's  By-Laws (the "By-Laws") provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify  each director and such of the  Registrant's  officers,  employees and
agents  as the  Board of  Directors  shall  determine  from  time to time to the
fullest extent provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     The  registrant  currently  maintains  directors'  and officers'  liability
insurance  coverage  for  all  directors  and  officers  and  has  entered  into
indemnification agreements with its directors and officers.

     Insofar as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising under the Act may be
permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the  Registrant
pursuant to the  foregoing  provision  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.

     ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

     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;

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933,  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 bona
fide 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  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's  annual
report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section  15(d) of the  Exchange  Act (and,
where  applicable,  each  filing of an employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in the 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 bona fide offering thereof.

     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 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  is
against  public policy 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.
