Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

   The Company has adopted provisions in its Restated Articles of
Incorporation which provide for indemnification of its officers and
directors in excess of the indemnification expressly permitted by
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law, as amended (the
"Code"), subject to applicable limits in the Code with respect to
breach of duty to the Company and its shareholders.  As authorized by
the Code, the Restated Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of
directors to the Company for monetary damages.  The effect of this
provision is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its
shareholders (through shareholders' derivative suits on behalf of the
Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of
the fiduciary duty of care as a director (including breaches resulting
from negligent behavior) except in certain limited situations.  This
provision does not limit or eliminate the rights of the Company or any
shareholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or
rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care.
These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under
federal securities laws.  In addition, the Company has entered into
Indemnification Agreements with each director and executive officer
which provide that the Company shall indemnify such directors and
executive officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Code.  The
Company and its directors and officers are also insured up to
$3 million for liability arising from claims against the Company's
directors and officers in their capacities as such.
