Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
------   -----------------------------------------

         Sections 204 and 317 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
California (the "General Law") empower a corporation to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and agents (collectively "Agents") under certain
circumstances. Article Sixth of the Registrant's Certificate of Amendment of
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Registrant to indemnify
its Agents in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317
of the General Law, subject to applicable limits set forth in Section 204 of the
General Law with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Registrant and its
shareholders. Article IX of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory
indemnification of each director of the Registrant, except as prohibited by law.

         The Registrant has also entered into agreements with its directors and
certain officers to provide indemnity to such persons against certain
liabilities and expenses by reason of their being or having been directors or
officers to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws.

         The directors and officers of the Registrant have a policy of insurance
under which they are insured, within limits and subject to limitations, against
certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or
proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such
actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of their
being or having been directors or officers.

         See Index to Exhibits on page 8.

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-

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

              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% change in the
              maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
              Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

                   (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 by
         the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 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.

              (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 further 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 (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 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,

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

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.

                                       -5-

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Campbell, State of California, on June 30, 1997.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
------   -----------------------------------------

         Sections 204 and 317 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
California (the "General Law") empower a corporation to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and agents (collectively "Agents") under certain
circumstances. Article Sixth of the Registrant's Certificate of Amendment of
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Registrant to indemnify
its Agents in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317
of the General Law, subject to applicable limits set forth in Section 204 of the
General Law with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Registrant and its
shareholders. Article IX of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for mandatory
indemnification of each director of the Registrant, except as prohibited by law.

         The Registrant has also entered into agreements with its directors and
certain officers to provide indemnity to such persons against certain
liabilities and expenses by reason of their being or having been directors or
officers to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws.

         The directors and officers of the Registrant have a policy of insurance
under which they are insured, within limits and subject to limitations, against
certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or
proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such
actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of their
being or having been directors or officers.

         See Index to Exhibits on page 8.

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-

                                       -3-
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% change in the
              maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
              Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

                   (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 by
         the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 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.

              (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 further 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 (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 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,

                                       -4-
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.

                                       -5-
