                         	Description of Securities

     The securities covered by this Registration Statement consist of a 
maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the company's common stock, together with
the related common stock purchase rights.

                   	Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this 
Registration Statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent 
public accountants, as indicated in their reports which accompany those 
statements, and are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the authority 
of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving such reports.

     The legality of the issuance of the common stock will be passed upon
for us by John W. Holleran, who is our Senior Vice President and General
Counsel.  As of June 30, 1998, Mr. Holleran was the beneficial owner of
1,152 shares of our common stock and 834 shares of our Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series D, in the Employee Stock Option Plan.  Mr. Holleran holds
options to purchase shares of our common stock under a company stock option
plan.

                	Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes
the company to indemnify its directors and officers under specified
circumstances.  Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide
that we shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, our
directors, officers, and employees against liabilities (including expenses,
judgments, and settlements) incurred by them in connection with any actual
or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to which they are or may become
parties and which arise out of their status as directors, officers, or
employees.  The company has also entered into agreements with each director
to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

     Our directors and officers are insured, under insurance policies 
maintained by the company (subject to the limitations of the policies), 
against certain expenses incurred in the defense of actions, suits, or 
proceedings and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of
such actions, suits, or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of
being or having been directors or officers.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling 
the company pursuant to the above provisions, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, 
therefore, unenforceable.

                                	Exhibits

     Required exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits and are 
incorporated by reference.

                              	Undertakings

     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)  Not applicable.

       		 (ii)	 Not applicable.

      		 (iii)	 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, 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.

     4.	 Not applicable.

   	 5.	 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 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 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.

     6.	 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, 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.

                         	Description of Securities

     The securities covered by this Registration Statement consist of a 
maximum of 1,500,000 shares of the company's common stock, together with
the related common stock purchase rights.

                   	Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this 
Registration Statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent 
public accountants, as indicated in their reports which accompany those 
statements, and are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the authority 
of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving such reports.

     The legality of the issuance of the common stock will be passed upon
for us by John W. Holleran, who is our Senior Vice President and General
Counsel.  As of June 30, 1998, Mr. Holleran was the beneficial owner of
1,152 shares of our common stock and 834 shares of our Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series D, in the Employee Stock Option Plan.  Mr. Holleran holds
options to purchase shares of our common stock under a company stock option
plan.

                	Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware authorizes
the company to indemnify its directors and officers under specified
circumstances.  Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide
that we shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by Delaware law, our
directors, officers, and employees against liabilities (including expenses,
judgments, and settlements) incurred by them in connection with any actual
or threatened action, suit, or proceeding to which they are or may become
parties and which arise out of their status as directors, officers, or
employees.  The company has also entered into agreements with each director
to indemnify him or her to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

     Our directors and officers are insured, under insurance policies 
maintained by the company (subject to the limitations of the policies), 
against certain expenses incurred in the defense of actions, suits, or 
proceedings and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of
such actions, suits, or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of
being or having been directors or officers.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling 
the company pursuant to the above provisions, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, 
therefore, unenforceable.

                                	Exhibits

     Required exhibits are listed in the Index to Exhibits and are 
incorporated by reference.

                              	Undertakings

     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)  Not applicable.

       		 (ii)	 Not applicable.

      		 (iii)	 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, 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.

     4.	 Not applicable.

   	 5.	 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 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 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.

     6.	 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, 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.
