ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        The Company's  Articles of Incorporation,  as amended,  provide that the
Company may indemnify the agents of the Company to the maximum extent  permitted
under  California  law. The Company has also entered into  indemnity  agreements
with its management and  non-management  directors and executive  officers.  The
agreements permit the Company to indemnify  directors and executive  officers to
the maximum extent  permitted under California law and prohibit the Company from
terminating  its  indemnification  obligations  as to acts or  omissions  of any
director  or  executive   officer   occurring   before  the   termination.   The
indemnification  and  limitations  on  liability  permitted  by the  Articles of
Incorporation  and the  agreements are subject to the  limitations  set forth by
California law. The Company believes the indemnification  agreements will assist
it in attracting and retaining  qualified  individuals to serve as directors and
executive officers of the Company.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

        Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

        See Exhibit Index contained herein.

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 of 1933 (the "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  that remain
                 unsold at the termination of the offering.

        B. The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, 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 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 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.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

                               LEGAL OPINIONS

        David  Goldberg,  Senior  Vice  President  and  General  Counsel  of the
Company,  has delivered an opinion to the effect that the shares of Common Stock
covered by this  Registration  Statement will be legally issued,  fully paid and
non-assessable.  Mr.  Goldberg owns 96,214 shares of the Company's  Common Stock
and 600 shares of the  Company's  preferred  stock and has options to acquire an
additional 166,167 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

                                   EXPERTS

        The  consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  schedule  of the
Company for the year ended December 31, 1998  appearing in the Company's  Annual
Report  on Form  10-K  have  been  audited  by  Ernst & Young  LLP,  independent
auditors,  as set forth in their report included in the Company's  Annual Report
on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.  Such consolidated  financial
statements  are  incorporated  herein by reference in reliance  upon such report
given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        The Company's  Articles of Incorporation,  as amended,  provide that the
Company may indemnify the agents of the Company to the maximum extent  permitted
under  California  law. The Company has also entered into  indemnity  agreements
with its management and  non-management  directors and executive  officers.  The
agreements permit the Company to indemnify  directors and executive  officers to
the maximum extent  permitted under California law and prohibit the Company from
terminating  its  indemnification  obligations  as to acts or  omissions  of any
director  or  executive   officer   occurring   before  the   termination.   The
indemnification  and  limitations  on  liability  permitted  by the  Articles of
Incorporation  and the  agreements are subject to the  limitations  set forth by
California law. The Company believes the indemnification  agreements will assist
it in attracting and retaining  qualified  individuals to serve as directors and
executive officers of the Company.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

        Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

        See Exhibit Index contained herein.

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 of 1933 (the "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  that remain
                 unsold at the termination of the offering.

        B. The undersigned  Registrant  hereby  undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, 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 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 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.

Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
