including an officer or director, who was or is a party or is threatened to be

amounts under certain circumstances.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Our
certificate of incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by
Delaware law, the personal liability of our directors and officers for monetary
damages.&#160; Our bylaws require us to
indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not
prohibited by Delaware law or any other applicable law, and permit us to
indemnify our other officers.&#160; A summary
of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained
herein, but that summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Article&nbsp;XI of our bylaws, incorporated by reference in this registration statement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">Under
our bylaws, we must generally advance all expenses incurred by our directors
and executive officers who are party or threatened to be made party to any
action by reason of the fact that each such director or executive officer is or
was a director or executive officer of us.&#160;
Each advancement shall only be made if such director or executive
officer undertakes to repay any such advancement if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.&#160; Our bylaws further provide that we may
purchase indemnification insurance on a person required or permitted to be
indemnified under our bylaws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">These
indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification
of our officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of
expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">From
time to time, we may enter into individual contracts with any or all of our
directors or officers regarding indemnification and advances, to the fullest
extent permitted under Delaware law.&#160; We
believe that these agreements and arrangements are necessary to attract and
retain qualified persons as directors and officers.&#160; On August&nbsp;2, 1999, we entered into
employment letter agreements with each of James Lambert and Dana
Kammersgard.&#160; Pursuant to these
agreements, we agreed to indemnify Mr.&nbsp;Lambert and Mr.&nbsp;Kammersgard
for all damages and costs incurred by them in connection with claims arising out
of their acts or omissions within the authorized scope of their
employment.&#160; The agreements further state
that we shall provide such indemnification and advance all expenses incurred in
connection with such claims as reasonably requested by these persons to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, subject to approval by our board of
directors from time to time.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our
directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that a corporation
shall have the power, and in some cases is required, to indemnify an agent,
including an officer or director, who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
II-1.
that
he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, against certain expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts under certain circumstances.
Our
certificate of incorporation limits, to the maximum extent permitted by
Delaware law, the personal liability of our directors and officers for monetary
damages.  Our bylaws require us to
indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent not
prohibited by Delaware law or any other applicable law, and permit us to
indemnify our other officers.  A summary
of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained
herein, but that summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Article XI of our bylaws, incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
Under
our bylaws, we must generally advance all expenses incurred by our directors
and executive officers who are party or threatened to be made party to any
action by reason of the fact that each such director or executive officer is or
was a director or executive officer of us. 
Each advancement shall only be made if such director or executive
officer undertakes to repay any such advancement if it is ultimately determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.  Our bylaws further provide that we may
purchase indemnification insurance on a person required or permitted to be
indemnified under our bylaws.
These
indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification
of our officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of
expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
From
time to time, we may enter into individual contracts with any or all of our
directors or officers regarding indemnification and advances, to the fullest
extent permitted under Delaware law.  We
believe that these agreements and arrangements are necessary to attract and
retain qualified persons as directors and officers.  On August 2, 1999, we entered into
employment letter agreements with each of James Lambert and Dana
Kammersgard.  Pursuant to these
agreements, we agreed to indemnify Mr. Lambert and Mr. Kammersgard
for all damages and costs incurred by them in connection with claims arising out
of their acts or omissions within the authorized scope of their
employment.  The agreements further state
that we shall provide such indemnification and advance all expenses incurred in
connection with such claims as reasonably requested by these persons to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, subject to approval by our board of
directors from time to time.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our
directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

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:
(i)
T
o include any
prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
T
o 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 end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement
is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference 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.
(4)   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
II-3.
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.
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 SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities 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
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4.

to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies
