    (b)  Financial Statement Schedules:
 
    All of the financial statement schedules for which provision is made in the
applicable accounting regulations of the Commission are either not required
under the related instructions or are inapplicable and have therefore been
omitted, except for the Financial Data Schedule referenced above as Exhibit 27
and filed herewith; provided, however, that Exhibit 27 shall not be deemed filed
for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act, Section 18 of the Exchange Act
and Section 323 of the Trust Indenture Act, or otherwise be subject to the
liabilities of such sections, nor shall it be deemed a part of this Registration
Statement.
 
ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS
 
    The Company hereby undertakes to provide the Underwriter at the closing
specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and
registered in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt
delivery to each Purchaser.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons to the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is
 
                                      II-6
<PAGE>
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company 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 Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
 
    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of a
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

caused this Amendment to its Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pasadena, State of
California, on the 19th day of November, 1996.
