offer all or some portion of the Convertible Notes and Common Stock they 
presently hold or, with respect to Common Stock, have the right to acquire upon
conversion of such Convertible Notes, no estimate can be given as to the amount
of the Convertible Notes and Common Stock that will be held by the Selling
Securityholders upon termination of any such sales. In addition, the Selling 
Securityholders identified above may have sold, transferred or otherwise 
disposed of all or a portion of their Convertible Notes and Common Stock since 
the date on which they provided the information regarding their Convertible 
Notes and Common Stock, in transactions exempt from the registration 
requirements of the Securities Act. See "Plan of Distribution."
 
     Only Selling Securityholders identified above who beneficially own the
Convertible Notes and Common Stock set forth opposite each such Selling
Securityholder's name in the foregoing table on the effective date of the
Registration Statement may sell such Convertible Notes and Common Stock pursuant
to this Prospectus. The Company may from time to time, in accordance with the
Registration Agreement, include additional Selling Securityholders in
supplements to this Prospectus.
 
     Other than as set forth in the table, none of the Selling Securityholders
listed above had any material relationship with the Company other than as a
result of ownership of the Convertible Notes, within the three-year period
ending on the date of this Prospectus.
 
     The Company will pay the expenses of registering the Convertible Notes and
Common Stock being sold hereunder.
 
       THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. 17 IS October 28, 1997.
