Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable
to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach or alleged
breach of the director&#146;s &#147;duty of care.&#148;&#160;

omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing
violations of law, illegal payment of dividends or stock redemptions or
repurchases, or for any transaction from which the director derives an improper
personal benefit.&#160; As permitted by the
statute, we have adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which
eliminate to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law the personal
liability of its directors to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for
breach or alleged breach of their duty of care.</font></p>

policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.&#160; 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

hereinafter expressed.&#160; In such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.&#160; We are admitted to practice only in the State
of California and we express no opinion concerning any law other than the law
of the State of California, the corporation laws of the State of Delaware and

to matters of Delaware corporation law, we have based our opinion solely upon
our examination of such laws and the rules and regulations of the authorities
administering such laws, all as reported in standard, unofficial compilations.&#160; We have not obtained opinions of counsel
licensed to practice in jurisdictions other than the State of California.</font></p>
