Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, the Reoffer Prospectus which is

Pizza Inn, Inc.
REOFFER Prospectus
4,800,000 Shares of Common Stock
(par value $0.01 per share)
This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of shares of our common
stock that the selling stockholders described in this prospectus may offer for
their own benefit. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the
shares. We will pay all expenses of registration incurred in connection with
this offering, but the selling stockholders will pay all selling and other
expenses they incur.
The selling stockholders will acquire the common stock when they exercise
options granted to them under our 1993 Stock Award Plan and our 1993 Outside
Directors Stock Award Plan. We cannot currently determine the exact number of
shares of common stock which the selling stockholders may acquire, and the
number of such shares which may be reoffered and resold pursuant to this
prospectus.
We list our Common Stock on the NASDAQ system under the symbol "PZZI". On
January 2, 2002, the last reported price of Common Stock on the NASDAQ system
was $1.58.
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 2 for a discussion of the material
risks involved in investing in our securities.
This prospectus is not an offer to sell the securities and it is not
soliciting any offer to buy the securities in any state where the offer and sale
is not permitted. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state
securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined
if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary
is a criminal offense.
The date of this Reoffer Prospectus is January 4, 2002

RISK FACTORS
Before you invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider the
risks involved. The following is a summary of several risk factors associated
with an investment in our common stock.
We May Not Be Able To Obtain Additional Financing
Because substantially all of our assets are pledged to secure our
obligations under our bank loan agreement, additional financing may not be
available. Additionally, we will need portions of our cash flow to repay loans
and other obligations. Therefore, cash generated from ongoing operations must
generally supply any additional cash needs.
Our debt is secured by all of our assets. Such debt may leave us
vulnerable to certain risks, including:
o possible unavailability of additional financing in the future for
working capital, capital expenditures or other purposes; and
o possible increases in interest expense due to the variable interest
rates on the indebtedness.
Our Industry Is Highly Competitive
The restaurant business is highly competitive and susceptible to changes
in the eating preferences of the public. There are many pizza restaurants and
our franchisees have numerous competitors in the restaurant and food service
business. Some of those competitors have greater name recognition and are better
capitalized than us and offer alternative menu items at equivalent prices.
We Are Dependent On Our Chief Executive Officer
We are dependent in part upon the services of Mr. C. Jeffrey Rogers, the
Chief Executive Officer. He is also a principal shareholder. Our banks can
require us to repay our loan if Mr. Rogers does not own at least 15% of our
common stock.
We Are Dependent On Franchisees To Select Qualified Managers
Almost all of our restaurants are operated by franchisees. Although we
select qualified and experienced franchisees, the franchisees are responsible
for hiring and training qualified managers for their restaurants. Restaurant
success depends on experienced and competent managers. If our franchisees do not
select qualified managers, our operating results could be adversely affected.
2
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
We have developed a business plan that includes using the net operating
losses currently held by us for tax purposes. We believe that we benefit
substantially from the current and future use of net operating loss
carry-forwards to reduce federal income tax liability. However, we cannot be
certain that we will be able to fully use the net operating losses for tax
purposes.
THE CORPORATION
General
Pizza Inn, Inc., a Missouri corporation incorporated in 1983, is the
successor to a Texas company of the same name which was incorporated in 1961. We

Pizza Inn units are currently located in 19 states and 9 foreign countries.

States. Norco Restaurant Services, a division of the Company, distributes food
products, equipment, and other supplies to units in the United States and, to
the extent feasible, in other countries.

The preceding table reflects all selling stockholders who are eligible to
reoffer and resell shares, whether or not they intend to do so. We cannot assure
you that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares
offered by them hereunder. The inclusion in the foregoing table of the
individuals named therein shall not be deemed to be an admission that any such
individuals are "affiliates" of the Company.
We may amend this prospectus to add or delete selling stockholders.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Any shares of common stock sold under this prospectus will be sold by the
selling stockholders for their own accounts and they will receive all proceeds
from any such sales. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of
shares which may be offered but will receive funds upon the exercise of the
options pursuant to which the selling stockholders will acquire the shares
covered by this prospectus. These funds will be used for working capital
purposes.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders have not advised us of any specific plans for the
distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, but, if
and when shares are sold, we anticipate that the shares will be sold from time
to time primarily in transactions on the NASDAQ National Market at the
prevailing market price. However, sales may also be made in negotiated
transactions at prices related to prevailing market price or at other prices. If
shares of common stock are sold through brokers, the selling stockholders may
pay customary brokerage commissions and charges. The selling stockholders may
effect such transactions by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and
such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers
of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell
as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might
be in excess of customary commission). The selling stockholders and any
broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder
might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on
the resale of shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions under the Securities Act.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Revised Statutes of Missouri, Chapter 351, General Business
Corporations, Section 351.355, provides as follows:
1. A corporation created under laws of this state may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or
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, and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.
2. The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interest of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made
in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which
the action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the
II-1
adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the court shall deem proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2 of this section,
or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
4. Any indemnification under subsections 1 and 2 of this section, unless
ordered by a court, shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the
specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director,
officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this section. The determination
shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding,
or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or by the shareholders.
5. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or
proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of
the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director,
officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this section.
6. The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under the articles of incorporation or bylaws or any agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
7. A corporation created under the laws of this state shall have the power
to give any further indemnity, in addition to the indemnity authorized or
contemplated under other subsections of this section, including subsection 6, to
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent, or to any
person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, provided such further indemnity is either (i)
authorized, directed, or provided for in the articles of incorporation of the
corporation or any duly adopted amendment thereof or (ii) is authorized,
directed, or provided for in any bylaw or agreement of the corporation which has
been adopted by a vote of the shareholders of the corporation, and provided
further that no such indemnity shall indemnify any person from or on account of
such person's conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. Nothing in this
subsection shall be deemed to limit the power of the corporation under
subsection 6 of this section to enact bylaws or to enter into agreements without
shareholder adoption of the same.
8. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him
in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under
the provisions of this section.
9. Any provision of this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the
provisions of this section shall apply to all existing and new domestic
corporations, including but not limited to banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, building and loan associations, savings bank and safe deposit
companies, mortgage loan companies, corporations formed for benevolent,
religious, scientific or educational purposes and nonprofit corporations.
10. For the purpose of this section, references to `the corporation'
include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as
well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent corporation or is
or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust
II-2
or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would
if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.
11. For purposes of this section, the term `other enterprise' shall
include employee benefit plans; the term `fines' shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and the term
`serving at the request of the corporation' shall include any service as a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect
to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person
who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the
interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall
be deemed to have acted in a manner `not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation' as referred to in this section.
Article XI of the Corporation's Restated Articles of Incorporation
provides as follows:
11.1 The Corporation may agree to the terms and conditions upon which any
director or officer accepts his office or position and in its By-laws or by
contract may agree to indemnify and protect each and all of such persons and any
person who, at the request of the Corporation served as a director or officer of
another Corporation in which this Corporation owned stock against all costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by any or all of them, and all liability imposed or
threatened to be imposed upon any or all of them, by reason of or arising out of
their or any of them being or having been a director or officer of this
Corporation or of such other corporation; but any such By-law or contractual
provision shall not be exclusive of any other right or rights of any such
director or officer to be indemnified and protected against such costs and
liabilities which he may otherwise possess.
11.2 The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of this Corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a
director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, taxes and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or 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 this
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this
Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
11.3 This Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit by or in the right of this Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of this Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as
a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to
the extent that the Court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court shall deem proper. Any
indemnification under this Article XI (unless ordered by a Court) shall be made
by this Corporation only as authorized in the specific instance upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article XI. Such determination
shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the shareholders. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this
Article XI, or in defense of any
II-3
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit, or proceeding.
11.4 Expenses incurred in defending any actual or threatened civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by this Corporation in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the
Board of Directors in the specific instance upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent to repay
such amount unless it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article XI.
11.5 The indemnification provided by this Article XI shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any By-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators
of such a person.
11.6 For the purposes of this Article XI, references to this `Corporation'
include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as
well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of such a constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of
another enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this
Article XI with respect to the resulting surviving corporation in the same
capacity.
11.7 In the event any provision of this Article XI shall be held invalid
by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate any
other provisions of this Article XI and any other provisions of this Article XI
shall be construed as if such invalid provisions had not been contained in this
Article XI.
Article XI of the Corporation's By-laws provides as follows:
INDEMIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
AGAINST LIABILITIES AND EXPENSE IN ACTIONS
1. Indemnification with Respect to Third Party Actions. The Corporation
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of this Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of this Corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of this Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines, taxes and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or 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 this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
2. Indemnification with Respect to Actions by or in the Right of the
Corporation. This Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party,
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit by or in the right of this Corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of this Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of this Corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter if such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that
the court in which such action or suit was brought, shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all
II-4
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Any
indemnification under this Article XI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made
by this Corporation only as authorized in the specific instance upon a
determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article XI. Such determination
shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum
consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the shareholders. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this
Article XI, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees), actually and
reasonably incurred by him, in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
3. Payment of Expenses in Advance of Disposition of Action. Expenses
incurred in defending any actual or threatened civil or criminal action, suit,
or proceeding may be paid by this Corporation in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of
Directors in the specific instance upon receipt of any undertaking by or on
behalf of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent to repay
such amount, unless it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article XI.
4. Indemnification provided in this Article Non-Exclusive. The
indemnification provided in this Article XI shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any
By-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise,
both as to action in his official capacity while holding such office, and shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee,
partner, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrator of such a person.
5. Definition of `Corporation'. For the purposes of this Article XI,
references to this `Corporation' include all constituent corporations absorbed
in a consolidation or merger, as well as the resulting or surviving corporation
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee
or agent of such a constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee,
partner, trustee or agent of another enterprise shall stand in the same position
under the provision of this Article XI with respect to the resulting surviving
corporation in the same capacity.
6. Saving Clause. In the event any provision of this Article XI shall be
held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not
invalidate any other provisions of this Article XI and any other provisions of
this Article XI shall be construed as if such invalid provisions had not been
contained in this Article XI.

* Filed herewith.
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement to:
(a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) 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 the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and
(c) 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 paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(ii) 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(iii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered herein, 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 Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the
II-6
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 security 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.
II-7

(the "Company"), relating to both the issuance pursuant to the 1993 Plan and the subsequent reoffering and resale of common stock of the Company (the "Stock"), you have requested our opinion on the legality of the Stock being issued thereunder.
