ITEM 5 - OTHER EVENTS On January 10, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approved certain amendments to the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 2, 1991, between the Company and Union Bank, San Diego, California. The Company incorporated the approved amendments to the Rights Agreement in a First Amendment to Rights Agreement dated as of January 23, 1996 between the Company and Harris Trust Company of California, which has replaced Union Bank as Rights Agent (the "Amendment"). The Board's decision to amend the Rights Agreement was prompted by the Board's finding, following a review of the Rights Agreement by counsel to the Company, that certain changes to the Rights Agreement, which among other things, provide greater flexibility for the Company under the Rights Agreement and take into consideration a one-for-five reverse stock split effected by the Company in October 1995, are desirable and in the best interests of the Company. Under the terms of the Rights Agreement, the Company's adoption of the Amendment did not require the approval of the holders of Right Certificates. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 4.1. A copy of the Resolution of the Board of Directors, dated as of January 10, 1996, authorizing the Chairman of the Board, the President or any Vice President of the Company to execute, on behalf of the Company, a First Amendment to Rights Agreement substantially in the form approved by the Board is attached as Exhibit 4.2.
