pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, and the description of the Company's Common Stock contained in 
Registration Statement on Form S-3, dated February 22, 1995 (No. 33-
89278), are hereby incorporated by reference in this registration 
statement and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

	All documents filed subsequently to the date hereof by the 
Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

	The California General Corporations Law provides that 
California corporations may include provisions in their articles of 
incorporation relieving directors of monetary liability for breach of 
their fiduciary duties as directors, except for the liability of a 
director resulting from (i) acts or omissions involving intentional 
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or 
omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best 
interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the 
absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) any 
transaction from which the director derives an improper personal 
benefit, (iv) acts or omissions showing reckless disregard for the 
director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in 
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been 
aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a 
risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) 
acts or omissions constituting an unexcused pattern of inattention 
that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the 
corporation or its shareholders, (vi) transactions between 
corporations and directors which have not been approved or ratified in 
good faith by disinterested directors or shareholders or which are not 
proved to be just and reasonable as to the corporation, and (vii) 
approving distributions to shareholders or loans to directors or 
officers contrary to California law.  The Company's Articles of 
Incorporation provide that the Company's directors are not liable to 
the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of 
their fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by California 
law.

	The inclusion of the above provision in the Articles of 
Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of 
shareholder derivative suits against directors and may discourage or 
deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against 
directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an 
action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and 
its shareholders.  At present, there is no litigation or proceeding 
pending involving a director of the Company as to which 
indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any 
threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by 
any director.

Gentlemen:

	We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the 
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended (the "Securities Act"), filed by the Company with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registration Statement 
covers 200,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") to be issued 
upon exercise of 200,000 Common Stock Options ("Options") of the 
Company pursuant to the Company's 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option 
Plan.

	We have examined the originals, or photostatic or certified 
copies, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of 
the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we 
have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set 
forth below.  In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness 
of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us 
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents 
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the 
authenticity of the originals of such copies.

	Based upon our examination mentioned above, subject to the 
assumptions stated herein and relying on statements of facts 
contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the 
opinion that the issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized and 
that, when issued and paid for will have been validly issued, fully 
paid and nonassessable.

	We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to 
the Registration Statement and to the incorporation by reference to 
the reference to our firm appearing under the caption "Legal
