                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
   
  The Shares offered hereby may be sold from time to time to purchasers
directly by the Selling Stockholders. Alternatively, the Selling Stockholders
may from time to time offer the Shares in ordinary brokerage transactions or
to or through underwriters, broker/dealers, including BT Alex. Brown
Incorporated or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agents.
The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker/dealers or agents that
participate in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on the
sale of the Shares by them and any discounts, commissions, concessions or
other compensation received by any such underwriter, broker/dealer or agent
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.     
   
  The sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders may be effected from time
to time on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at
negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may also offer their shares from
time to time in connection with (i) covering short sales of shares of Common
Stock; (ii) pledges to secure debts or other obligations; (iii) the writing or
settlement of non-traded and exchange-traded call options, or other hedge
transactions; and (iv) a combination of the above transactions. At the time a
particular offering of the Shares is made, a Prospectus Supplement, if
required, will be distributed which will set forth the number of Shares being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
underwriters, broker/dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other
terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any
discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
broker/dealers.     
   
  Any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this Prospectus.     
 
  All expenses of the registration of the Shares will be paid by the Company,
including, without limitation, Commission filing fees and expenses of
compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that
the Selling Stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling
commissions, if any.
 
  There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all
of the Shares offered hereby.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the Shares being offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Shearman & Sterling, San Francisco, California.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes
Delaware corporations to indemnify directors and officers in certain
circumstances against liabilities, including expenses, incurred while acting
in such capacities; provided, generally, that any such indemnified officer or
director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. The By-laws of the Company provide for indemnification of directors
and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
 
  In addition, the Company has provided in its Certificate of Incorporation
that it shall eliminate the personal liability of its directors to the fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Company has entered into Indemnification
Agreements with its executive officers and directors providing for additional
indemnification. The Company has policies of directors' and officers'
liability insurance which insure directors and officers against liabilities
which a director or officer may incur in his or her capacity as such.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
  (a) 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
    Securities Act of 1933;
 
      (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
    maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
    with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
    changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
    the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
    Registration Fee" table in the effective 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
  the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
  those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
  to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the
  registration statement.
 
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, 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 which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
  (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.
 
  (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that such a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the 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, 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
