Item 9.  Sales of Equity Securities Pursuant to Regulation S.

     On November 10, 1997, the Registrant completed the issuance and sale of
$100,000,000 aggregate principal amount 4-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes
due November 1, 2002 (the "Notes").  The Notes were sold in a private
transaction to the initial purchasers, PaineWebber Incorporated, BancAmerica
Robertson Stephens, NationsBanc Montgomery Securities, Inc. and Pacific Growth
Equities, Inc. (the "Initial Purchasers"), which received total discounts and
commissions of $2,500,000.  The Registrant also granted to the Initial
Purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $15,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of Notes on the same terms as those sold on November 10, 1997,
solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

     Resales of the Notes will be made by the Initial Purchasers within the
United States in the amount of $98,000,000 to qualified institutional buyers in
accordance with Rule 144A and to qualified institutional accredited investors
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and
outside the United States in the amount of $2,000,000 to non-United States
persons in accordance with Regulation S promulgated under the Act.

          The Notes are convertible into Common Stock of the Registrant at a
conversion price of $27.46 per share at any time on or after the 90th day
following the latest date of initial issuance of Notes and on or prior to
maturity unless previously redeemed or repurchased.  The Notes are not
redeemable by the Registrant prior to November 5, 2000.  Thereafter, the Notes
are redeemable at the option of the Registrant, in whole, or from time to time,
in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the offering memorandum, together
with accrued interest.  Upon the occurrence of certain events, each holder of
the Notes has the right to require the Registrant to repurchase such holder's
Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued interest.  The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Registrant and are
subordinate to certain present and future senior indebtedness.
