RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ON FORM S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about May 20, 1996 (the
"Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an additional 250,000 shares of your
Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1995 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan"). 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 such Common Stock under the Plan.
It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to
in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany the Plan, the Common
Stock issued and sold thereby will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
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 any Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,
WILSON, SONSINI, GOODRICH & ROSATI
