                                    PART II

                INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT


ITEM  3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
          --------------------------------------- 

          The following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Integrated Packaging
Assembly Corporation (the "Company") are hereby incorporated by reference in
this Registration Statement:

          (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

          (b) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.

          (b) The description of the Company's common stock which is contained
in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-B, filed pursuant to Section
12 of the Exchange Act.

          All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-
effective amendment which indicates that all securities registered have been
sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.


ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
          ------------------------- 

          Not applicable.


ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
          -------------------------------------- 

          Counsel for the Company, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., 650
Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304, has rendered an opinion to the
effect that the Common Stock offered hereby will, when issued in accordance with
the 1993 Option Plan be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.  Certain members of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and
investment partnerships if which such persons are partners, beneficially owned
30,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.


ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
         ----------------------------------------- 

          The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of
directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.  Delaware law
provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for
liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
          The Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its
directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the
fullest extent permitted by law.  The Company believes that indemnification
under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence on  the part of
indemnified parties.  The Company's Bylaws also permit the Company to secure
insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any
liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of
whether the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liability under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.  The Company currently
has secured such insurance on behalf of its officers and directors.

          The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Company's Bylaws.
Subject to certain conditions, these agreements, among other things, indemnify
the Company's directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's
fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in
any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or officer of the
Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other company or enterprise to
which the person provides services at the request of the Company.


ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
          ----------------------------------- 

          Not applicable.


ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

                     registered.
                   
           23.1      Consent of Independent Accountants.

           24.1      Power of Attorney (see page II-5).


ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.
          ------------ 

          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 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.

          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, 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.

                                     II-2
<PAGE>
 
          (4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

          (5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act 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
Exchange Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that 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 the Exchange Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that

                                --------- 

                                (i)          Administration With Respect to
                                             ------------------------------

                                (ii)         Multiple Administrative Bodies. If
                                             ------------------------------
permitted by Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with
respect to directors, non-director officers and Employees who are neither

shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the
legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option
plans, if any, of the corporate and securities laws of California and of the
Code (the "Applicable Laws").  Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to
serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board.  From
time to time the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove
all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to
the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

provisions of the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties
delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the
authority, in its discretion:

                                (i)     to determine the Fair Market Value of
the Stock, in accordance with Section 2(j) of the Plan;

                                (ii)    to select the officers, Consultants and
Employees to whom Options may from time to time be granted hereunder;

                                (iii)   to determine whether and to what extent
Options are granted hereunder;

                                (iv)    to determine the number of shares of
Stock to be covered by each such award granted hereunder;

                                (v)     to approve forms of agreement for use
under the Plan;

                                (vi)    to determine the terms and conditions,
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder
(including, but not limited to, the share price and any restriction or
limitation, or waiver of forfeiture restrictions regarding any Option or other
award and/or the shares of Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such
factors as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion); provided,
however, that so long as a permit under Section 25113 of the California
Corporation Code is in effect with respect to the Plan, each Option under this
Plan must vest at a rate of no less than 20% per year over 5 years;
                            ------------

                                (vii)   to determine whether and under what
circumstances an Option may be bought-out for cash under subsection 9(f);

                                (viii)  to determine whether, to what extent and
under what circumstances Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an
award under this Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election
of the participant (including providing for and determining the amount, if any,
of any deemed earnings on any deferred amount during any deferral period);

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
                                (ix)    to reduce the exercise price of any
Option to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the
Stock covered by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was
granted; and

                                (x)     to provide for the early exercise of an
Option for the purchase of unvested Shares, subject to such terms and conditions
as the Administrator may determine.

                   (c)          Effect of Committee's Decision.  All decisions,
                                ------------------------------   
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options.

    5.    Eligibility.
          ----------- 

          (a)   Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees and
Consultants.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.  An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise
eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options.

          (b)   Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

          (c)   For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be
taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market
Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect
to such Shares is granted.

          (d)   The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company's right
to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or
without cause.

          (e)   Upon the Company or a successor corporation issuing any class of
common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act or upon the Plan being assumed by a corporation having a class of
common equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, the following limitations shall apply to grants of Options to
Employees:

                (i)     No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options to purchase more than 250,000 Shares.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
                (ii)    In connection with his or her initial employment, an
Employee may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 250,000 Shares
which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

                (iii)   The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as
described in Section 11.

                (iv)    If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction
described in Section 11), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limit
set forth in subsection (i) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price of an
Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the
Option and the grant of a new Option.

    6.    Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
          ------------                                                      
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company as described in Section 18 of the Plan.  It shall
continue in effect until April 6, 2003 unless sooner terminated under Section 14
of the Plan.

    7.    Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
          --------------                                                      
the Option Agreement; provided, however, the term shall be no more than ten (10)
years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing
more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5)
years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement.

    8.    Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
          --------------------------------------- 

          (a)   The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued
pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Board, but shall be subject to the following:

                (i)     In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                                (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of
the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                                (B) granted to any Employee, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

                (ii)    In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
                                (A)  granted to a person who, at the time of the
grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of the grant.

                                (B) granted to any person, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

          (b)   The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2)
check, (3) promissory note, (4) other shares of the Company's capital stock
which (x) in the case of shares of the Company's capital stock acquired upon
exercise of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six
months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly,
from the Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised, (5) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the
amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (6) any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment, (7) or such other consideration
and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under
Applicable Laws.

    9.    Exercise of Option.
          ------------------ 

          (a)   Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
                -----------------------------------------------   
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Board, including performance criteria with respect to the
Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the
Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

                An Option shall be deemed to be exercised, and the Optionee
deemed to be a shareholder of the shares being purchased upon exercise, when
written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with
the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been
received by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Board, consist
of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the
Plan.

                Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease
in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of
the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

          (b)   Termination of Employment. In the event of termination of an
                -------------------------                                   
Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee with the
Company (as the case may be), such Optionee may, within at least thirty (30)
days with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option not
exceeding three (3) months after the date of such termination (but in no event
later

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), exercise his Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that Optionee was
not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if
Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (c)   Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
                ----------------------   
Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Consulting
relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his total and
permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), Optionee may,
but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (but in no
event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does
not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

          (d)   Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee,
                -----------------   
the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the
date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or
by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of death. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise
such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.

          (e)   Rule 16b-3.  Options granted to persons subject to Section 16(b)
                ---------- 
of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such
additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify
for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to
Plan transactions.

          (f)   Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
                -----------------   
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

    10.   Non-Transferability of Options.  The Option may not be sold, pledged,
          ------------------------------                                       
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

    11.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Liquidation, Merger or
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Sale.
- ---------- 

          (a)   Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by
                -------------------------
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been returned to the
Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected
without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to
have been "effected without receipt of consideration."  Such adjustment shall be
made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company
of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an
Option.

          (b)   Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed
                -------------------------- 
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Option has not
been previously exercised, it will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole
discretion in such instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a
date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her
Option as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which
the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.

          (c)   Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a merger of the Company
                -------------------- 
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the
successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to
assume or substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall have the right to
exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to
which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If an Option is exercisable in lieu
of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a
period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall
terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
sale of assets, the option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each
Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or
sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock
for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Board may, with the
consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets.

                                      -9-

    12.   Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
          ------------------------                                            
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Board.  Notice
of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

    13.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          ------------------------------------- 

          (a)   Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend,
                -------------------------  
alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension
or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Optionee
under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to
the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other applicable law or regulation,
including the requirements of the NASD or an established stock exchange), the
Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner
and to such a degree as required.

          (b)   Effect of Amendment or Termination.  Any such amendment or
                ---------------------------------- 
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
Company.

    14.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued
          ----------------------------------                             
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

    15.   Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
          ---------------------                                             
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

                                      -10-

    16.   Agreements.  Options shall be evidenced by written agreements in such
          ----------                                                           
form as the Board shall approve from time to time.

    17.   Shareholder Approval.  Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
          --------------------                                              
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law.

          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 June 30, 1997, in
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of 500,000 shares of Common Stock  (the "Shares") to be issued under the
Company's 1993 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 the Shares.  It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued
and sold in the manner referred to in the Plan, and pursuant to the agreements
which accompany the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

          We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to said
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever
appearing in said Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

                                        Sincerely,
                                        WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
