ITEM 4.           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

                  Not applicable. The class of securities to be offered is
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 5.           INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 6.           INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                  Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law permits
the indemnification of a corporation's agents (which includes officers and
directors) because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a party) to any
action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of
the corporation or because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a
party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If
the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding,
the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense.

                  Article V of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation
provides that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be
eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This
provision requires the Registrant to indemnify its directors, as permitted by
law, in excess of Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law.

                  The Registrant's bylaws permit it to indemnify its officers
and directors, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General
Corporation Law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding
arising by reason of the fact any person is or was an officer or director of the
Registrant. In this regard, the Registrant has the power to advance to any
officer or director expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

ITEM 7.           EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS.

                  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement (1) 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 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 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 Securities Act of 1933 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.

action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of
the corporation or because he is a party (or he is threatened to be made a
party) to any action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of a corporation. If
the agent is successful on the merits in defense of any action or proceeding,
the corporation must indemnify the agent against expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by the agent in such defense.

                  Article V of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation
provides that the liability of directors for monetary damages shall be
eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law. This
provision requires the Registrant to indemnify its directors, as permitted by
law, in excess of Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law.

                  The Registrant's bylaws permit it to indemnify its officers
and directors, to the maximum extent permitted by the California General
Corporation Law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other
amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding
arising by reason of the fact any person is or was an officer or director of the
Registrant. In this regard, the Registrant has the power to advance to any
officer or director expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding to the
maximum extent permitted by law.

ITEM 9.           UNDERTAKINGS.

                  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file,
during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement (1) 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 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 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 Securities Act of 1933 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.
