available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the

directors and certain officers of the Company are insured, within the limits
and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings,
and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims,

its directors and certain of its officers that may be broader than the specific
indemnification provisions contained in the California General Corporation Law.
These indemnification agreements require the Company, among other things, to
indemnify its directors and certain of its officers against liabilities that
may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification
agreements also require the Company to advance all expenses incurred by the
directors and certain of its officers in investigating or defending any such
action, suit or proceeding. The Company believes that these agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and
officers.</font></p>

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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 204 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
California (the "California Law") permits the limitation of the personal
liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by or in the
right of the corporation for breach of a director's duties to the corporation
and its shareholders under certain conditions and subject to certain
limitations.
Section 317 of the California Law (i) permits indemnification
of directors, officers, employees and other agents of the corporation under
certain conditions and subject to certain limitations and (ii) provides
that the corporation has the power to purchase and maintain
2
insurance on behalf of its directors, officers,
employees and other agents against any liability asserted against or incurred
by them in such capacity or arising out of their status as such.
Article Five of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
Registrant provides as follows:
(a)
Limitation of Directors' Liability.  The liability of the directors of the
corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent
permissible under California law.
(b)
Indemnification of Corporate Agents.  The corporation is authorized to provide,
whether by bylaw, agreement or resolution of the board of directors or
shareholders of the corporation, for the indemnification of agents (as defined
in Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law) of the
corporation in excess of that expressly permitted by such Section 317, for
breach of duty to the corporation and its shareholders to the fullest extent
permissible under California law.
(c)
Repeal or Modification.  Any repeal or modification of this Article Five
by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director or agent of the corporation existing at the time of
such repeal or modification.
Article VI of the Bylaws of the Company provides as follows:
Section 6.1
INDEMNIFICATION - THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS. The corporation shall indemnify any
person (the "Indemnitee") who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or any
subsidiary of the corporation, and the corporation may indemnify a person who
is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an employee or
other agent of the corporation (the "Indemnitee Agent") by reason of any action
or inaction on the part of Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent while an officer,
director or agent or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent
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 subject to Section 6.19,
attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification
pursuant to this Article VI or under California law), judgments, fines,
settlements (if such settlement is approved in advance by the corporation,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and other amounts actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent in connection with
such proceeding if Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent acted in good faith and in a
manner Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, if Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent had no reasonable cause to
believe Indemnitee's or Indemnitee Agent's conduct was
3
unlawful.  The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal proceedings,
would not create a presumption that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's or Indemnitee Agent's conduct was
unlawful.
Section 6.2  INDEMNIFICATION - PROCEEDINGS BY OR IN THE
RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.  The
corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee and may indemnify Indemnitee Agent if
Indemnitee, or Indemnitee Agent, as the case may be, was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by
or in the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee
Agent is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the
corporation, or any subsidiary of the corporation, by reason of any action or
inaction on the part of Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent while an officer,
director or agent or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent
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 subject to Section 6.19,
attorneys' fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification
pursuant to this Article VI or under California law) and, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement, in each case to the extent
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent in
connection with the defense or settlement of the proceeding if Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee or Indemnitee
Agent believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and its shareholders, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect
to any claim, issue or matter to which Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent shall
have been adjudged to have been liable to the corporation in the performance of
Indemnitee's or Indemnitee Agent's duty to the corporation and its
shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such
proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of
all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses and then only to the extent that
the court shall determine.
Section 6.3  SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE ON MERITS.  To the extent that Indemnitee or Indemnitee
Agent without limitation has been successful on the merits in defense of any
proceeding referred to in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent in connection therewith.
4
Section 6.4  CERTAIN TERMS DEFINED.  For purposes of this Article VI, references
to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans, references to
"fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee or Indemnitee
Agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, and references to "proceeding"
shall include any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.  References to "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 other agent of such a constituent corporation
or who, being or having been such a director, officer, employee or other agent
of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI
with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would if
he or she had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity.
Section 6.5  ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  The corporation shall advance all expenses
incurred by Indemnitee and may advance all or any expenses incurred by
Indemnitee Agent in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement
(excluding amounts actually paid in settlement of any action, suit or
proceeding) or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
referenced in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 hereof. 
Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent hereby undertakes to repay such amounts
advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall be determined ultimately
that Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation as authorized hereby.  The
advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the corporation (i) to
Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request
therefor by Indemnitee to the corporation; and (ii) to Indemnitee Agent
within twenty (20) days following the later of a written request therefor by
Indemnitee Agent to the corporation and determination by the corporation to
advance expenses to Indemnitee Agent pursuant to the corporation's
discretionary authority hereunder.
Section 6.6  NOTICE OF CLAIM.  Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to
his or her right to be indemnified under this Article VI, and Indemnitee
Agent shall, as a condition precedent to his or her ability to be indemnified
under this Article VI, give the corporation notice in writing as soon as
practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent, as the case
may be, for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Article VI.  Notice to the corporation shall be directed
to the secretary of the corporation at the principal business office of the
corporation (or such other address as the corporation shall designate in
writing to Indemnitee).  In addition,
Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent shall give the corporation such information and
cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee's or
Indemnitee Agent's power.
Section 6.7  ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS.  Any indemnification provided for in
Sections 6.1 or 6.2 or 6.3 shall be made no later than sixty (60) days
after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee.  If a claim or request under this Article VI,
under any statute, or under any provision of the corporation's Articles of
5
Incorporation
providing for indemnification is not paid by the corporation, or on its behalf,
within sixty (60) days after written request for payment thereof has been
received by the corporation, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time
thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim or request, and subject to Section 6.19, Indemnitee shall also
be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys' fees) of bringing
such action.  It shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it
permissible under applicable law for the corporation to indemnify Indemnitee
for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the
corporation, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of
expenses pursuant to Section 6.5 unless and until such defense may be
finally adjudicated by court order or judgment for which no further right of
appeal exists.  The parties hereto intend
that if the corporation contests Indemnitee's right to indemnification, the
question of Indemnitee's right to indemnification shall be a decision for the
court, and no presumption regarding whether the applicable standard has been
met will arise based on any determination or lack of determination of such by
the corporation (including its Board or any subgroup thereof, independent legal
counsel or its shareholders).  The board
of directors may, in its discretion, provide by resolution for similar or
identical enforcement rights for any Indemnitee Agent.
Section 6.8  ASSUMPTION OF DEFENSE.  In the event the corporation shall be
obligated to pay the expenses of any proceeding against the Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent, as the case may be, the corporation, if appropriate, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding with counsel approved by
Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, upon the delivery to Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent of written notice
of its election so to do.  After delivery
of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent and
the retention of such counsel by the corporation, the corporation will not be
liable to Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent under this Article VI for any
fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent with
respect to the same proceeding, unless (i) the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent is authorized by the corporation, (ii) Indemnitee
or Indemnitee Agent shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a
conflict of interest of such counsel retained by the corporation between the
corporation and Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent in the conduct of such defense,
or (iii) the corporation ceases or terminates the employment of such
counsel with respect to the defense of such proceeding, in any of which events
then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee's or Indemnitee Agent's counsel shall
be at the expense of the corporation.  At
all times, Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent shall have the right to employ other
counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee's or Indemnitee Agent's expense.
Section 6.9  APPROVAL OF EXPENSES.  No expenses for which indemnity shall be
sought under this Article VI, other than those in respect of judgments and
6
verdicts actually
rendered, shall be incurred without the prior consent of the corporation, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 6.10  SUBROGATION. 
In the event of payment under this Article VI, the corporation
shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of the Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent, who shall do all things that
may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such
documents necessary to enable the corporation effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.
Section 6.11  EXCEPTIONS. 
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the
corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Article VI:
(a)
Excluded Acts.  To indemnify Indemnitee (i) as to
circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited pursuant to California
law, or (ii) for any acts or omissions or transactions from which a
director may not be relieved of liability pursuant to California law; or
(b)
Claims Initiated by Indemnitee.  To indemnify or advance expenses to
Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings
brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Article VI
or any other statute or law or as otherwise required under the Corporations
Code of California, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
provided by the corporation in specific cases if the board of directors has
approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; or
(c)
Lack of Good Faith.  To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee
to enforce or interpret this Article VI, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that such proceeding was not made in good faith or was
frivolous; or
(d)
Insured Claims.  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or
liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which
have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of
officers' and directors' liability insurance maintained by the corporation; or
(e)
Claims Under Section 16(b).  To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the
payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of
securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.
Section 6.12  PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision
of this Article VI to indemnification by the corporation for some or a
portion of the expenses, judgments, fines or penalties actually or reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement
of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, but not, however, for the
total
7
amount thereof,
the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such
expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.
Section 6.13  COVERAGE. 
This Article VI shall, to the extent permitted by law, apply to
acts or omissions of (i) Indemnitee which occurred prior to the adoption
of this Article VI if Indemnitee was a director or officer of the
corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or
officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, at the time such act or omission occurred; and (ii) Indemnitee
Agent which occurred prior to the adoption of this Article VI if
Indemnitee Agent was an employee or other agent of the corporation or was
serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the time
such act or omission occurred.  All
rights to indemnification under this Article VI shall be deemed to be
provided by a contract between the corporation and the Indemnitee in which the
corporation hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically
authorized by the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws or by
statute.  Any repeal or modification of
these Bylaws, the Corporations Code of California or any other applicable law
shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing under this Article VI.  The provisions of this Article VI shall
continue as to Indemnitee and Indemnitee Agent for any action taken or not
taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though the Indemnitee or
Indemnitee Agent may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any
action, suit or other covered proceeding. 
This Article VI shall be binding upon the corporation and its
successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and
Indemnitee Agent and Indemnitee's and Indemnitee Agent's estate, heirs, legal
representatives and assigns.
Section 6.14  NON-EXCLUSIVITY.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or
otherwise restrict any rights to which Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent may be
entitled under the corporation's Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any
agreement, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or under the
laws of the State of California.
Section 6.15  SEVERABILITY. 
Nothing in this Article VI is intended to require or shall be
construed as requiring the corporation to do or fail to do any act in violation
of applicable law.  If this Article VI
or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of
competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify
Indemnitee or Indemnitee Agent to the fullest extent permitted by any
applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been
invalidated.
Section 6.16  MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT.  Both the corporation and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy
may prohibit the corporation from indemnifying its directors and officers under
this Article VI or otherwise. 
Indemnitee understands and
8
acknowledges that
the corporation has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of
indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the
corporation's right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.
Section 6.17  OFFICER AND DIRECTOR LIABILITY
INSURANCE.  The corporation shall, from
time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is
practicable for the corporation to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of
insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and
directors of the corporation with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to
ensure the corporation's performance of its indemnification obligations under
this Article VI.  Among other
considerations, the corporation will weigh the costs of obtaining such
insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
corporation shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if
the corporation determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably
available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the
amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is
limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if
Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent
of the corporation.
Section 6.18  NOTICE TO INSURERS.  If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of
a claim pursuant to Section 6.6 hereof, the corporation has director and
officer liability insurance in effect, the corporation shall give prompt notice
of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The corporation shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such policies.
Section 6.19  ATTORNEYS' FEES.  In the event that any action is instituted by
Indemnitee under this Article VI to enforce or interpret any of the terms
hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to
such action, unless as a part of such action, the court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the action was not instituted in good faith or was
frivolous.  In the event of an action
instituted by or in the name of the corporation under this Article VI, or
to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Article VI, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect
to Indemnitee's counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as
a part of such action the court determines that Indemnitee's defenses to such
action were not made in good faith or were frivolous.  The board of directors may, in its
discretion, provide by resolution for payment of such attorneys' fees to any
Indemnitee Agent.
9
Section 6.20  NOTICE. 
All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Article VI
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by
hand and receipted for by the addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if
mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the
third business day after the date postmarked.
The Company maintains an insurance policy pursuant to which the
directors and certain officers of the Company are insured, within the limits
and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of certain claims, actions, suits or proceedings,
and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims,
actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of
their being or having been such directors or officers.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and certain of its officers that may be broader than the specific
indemnification provisions contained in the California General Corporation Law.
These indemnification agreements require the Company, among other things, to
indemnify its directors and certain of its officers against liabilities that
may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification
agreements also require the Company to advance all expenses incurred by the
directors and certain of its officers in investigating or defending any such
action, suit or proceeding. The Company believes that these agreements are
necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and
officers.

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:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this 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 this
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) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement;
Provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
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.
11
(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
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Van Nuys, State of California, on August 19,
