as to legality of securities being registered.

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, 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,
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 Securities 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
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.

as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds

S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the

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, 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,
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 Securities 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
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.

SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds
to believe that it meets 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 Fremont, State of California, on December 28, 1995.
