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

VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any person
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 Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that the
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>

VI of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws also provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director of
officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Registrant except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of the Registrant has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of the
Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT FACE="TIMES NEW ROMAN, TIMES, SERIF" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant&#146;s Bylaws also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant for any liability arising out of
his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit
indemnification. The Registrant currently maintains liability insurance for its officers
and directors. </FONT></P>

Incorporation and Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant&#146;s directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney&#146;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 Registrant, arising out of
such person&#146;s services as a director or officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the

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 Delaware General Corporations Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant, the Bylaws of the Registrant, Indemnification Agreements entered into between
the Registrant and its officers and directors, 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Article
11 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same now exists or may hereafter be
amended, a director shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. 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.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any person
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 Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and (ii) may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of
the fact that he is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving
at the request of the Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Bylaws provide that the
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,
or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.
Article
VI of the Registrant's Bylaws also provides that the Registrant (i) shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director of
officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
and (ii) may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an
employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Registrant except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The
Bylaws also provide that, to the extent that a director or officer of the Registrant has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection therewith and to the extent that an employee or agent of the
Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit
or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.
The
Registrant's Bylaws also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant for any liability arising out of
his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Bylaws would permit
indemnification. The Registrant currently maintains liability insurance for its officers
and directors.
The
Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers, in
addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws. These agreements, among other things, indemnify the
Registrant'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 Registrant, arising out of
such person's services as a director or officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the
Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at
the request of the Registrant.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
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)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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.
(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)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by
the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(b)
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
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
(c)
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 Delaware General Corporations Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant, the Bylaws of the Registrant, Indemnification Agreements entered into between
the Registrant and its officers and directors, 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has
reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California, on
October 26, 2000.
