               RE:  REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3
                    ----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on March 24, 1997, in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 4,325,591 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Securities").  We understand
that the Shares are to be sold sold by the selling stockholders identified in
the Registration Statement to the public as described in the Registration
Statement. As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken, and
are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken, by you in connection
with the sale and issuance of the Common Stock.

          It is our opinion that, upon completion of the proceedings being taken
or contemplated by us, as your counsel, to be taken prior to the issuance of the
Securities, including the proceedings being taken in order to permit such
transaction to be carried out in accordance with applicable state securities
laws, the Securities, when issued and sold in the manner described in the
Registration Statement and in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the
Board of Directors of the Company, will be legally and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

          We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever
appearing in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus constituting a
part thereof, and any amendments thereto.

                                      Very truly yours,
                                      WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
