<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>EXPLANATORY NOTE</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the &#147;ESPP&#148;), reserved a
total of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock for issuance when it was
originally adopted and approved by our stockholders on July&nbsp;10, 1998. In
addition, the &#147;evergreen&#148; provision of the ESPP provides that the total number
of shares reserved for issuance thereunder shall be increased on each January 1
by the total number of shares purchased under the ESPP in the preceding
calendar year, provided that the aggregate number of shares reserved for
issuance under the ESPP may not exceed 18,000,000 shares. We initially
registered 3,600,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the ESPP on
a registration statement on Form S-8 filed on September&nbsp;24, 1998, and are
registering an additional 2,768,564 shares that have been reserved for issuance
under the &#147;evergreen&#148; provision of the ESPP with the filing of this
registration statement on Form S-8. All historical share numbers in this
registration statement have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to all of
the registrant&#146;s stock splits prior to the date hereof.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(a)&nbsp;</B>&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(i)&nbsp;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(ii)&nbsp;</B>&nbsp;&nbsp;To 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (&#167; 230.424(b) of this
chapter) 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
&#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(iii)&nbsp;</B>&nbsp;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;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if 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

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(b)&nbsp;</B>That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new

fide offering thereof.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>(c)&nbsp;</B>To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any

    <TD>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 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.</TD>

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the "ESPP"), reserved a
total of 3,600,000 shares of our common stock for issuance when it was
originally adopted and approved by our stockholders on July 10, 1998. In
addition, the "evergreen" provision of the ESPP provides that the total number
of shares reserved for issuance thereunder shall be increased on each January 1
by the total number of shares purchased under the ESPP in the preceding
calendar year, provided that the aggregate number of shares reserved for
issuance under the ESPP may not exceed 18,000,000 shares. We initially
registered 3,600,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the ESPP on
a registration statement on Form S-8 filed on September 24, 1998, and are
registering an additional 2,768,564 shares that have been reserved for issuance
under the "evergreen" provision of the ESPP with the filing of this
registration statement on Form S-8. All historical share numbers in this
registration statement have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to all of
the registrant's stock splits prior to the date hereof.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii)
To 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this
chapter) 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 (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if 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
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference herein.
(b)
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 herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c)
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.
2.
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 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
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
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 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.
