13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"EXCHANGE ACT"), or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The provisions of Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, Article V of
the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the Registrant's
Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law for
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actual and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that
any person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant. This
indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act.
In addition, Article IV of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provides
that the liability of the Registrant's directors shall be eliminated to the
fullest extent permissible under California law.

The Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current
directors to give such directors additional contractual assurances regarding the
scope of the indemnification and liability limitations set forth in the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

The Registrant currently carries a director and officer liability insurance
policy with a per claim and annual aggregate coverage limit of $10,000,000.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 9. 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) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933
Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement;

(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.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the 1933 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than 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 hereby, 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
