Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as your counsel in connection with your 1995 Incentive
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which up to 520,830 shares of your Common
Stock (the "Shares") may be issued or delivered upon the exercise of stock
options granted pursuant thereto.

         We have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified
to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records and other instruments
as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued or
delivered, and paid for, in accordance with the Plan, will have been validly
issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering this opinion we
have of course assumed that the certificates evidencing the Shares will be
properly executed and authenticated.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 for
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 and to the reference
to us under "LEGAL MATTERS" in the Prospectus.


                                  Very truly yours,



                                  /s/ Klett Lieber Rooney & Schorling
