ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a 
corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the 
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary 
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit 
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of 
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not 
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation 
of law, (iii) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or 
repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds or (iv) for any 
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  No 
such charter or by-law provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a 
director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such 
provision becomes effective.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision 
eliminating, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, director

     The Company's Bylaws require that directors and officers be indemnified

      The Company has a policy of directors and officers liability insurance 
which insures directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement

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 the 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; and

            (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 above, 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.

ITEM 6.     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a 
corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the 
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary 
duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit 
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of

in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation 
of law, (iii) for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or 
repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds or (iv) for any

such charter or by-law provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a 
director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such 
provision becomes effective.

     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision 
eliminating, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, director 
liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.

     The Company's Bylaws require that directors and officers be indemnified 
to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

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 the 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; and

            (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 above, 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.

authorized, in the City of Thousand Oaks, California, on February 10, 1999.
