                       REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement the following documents and information heretofore filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission:

                  (a) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
         quarter ended September 30, 1996 filed on November 14, 1996.

                  (b) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained
         in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as amended,
         filed on July 5, 1996.

         All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on or after the date
of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.        DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.         INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.         INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court
to award or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors
and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, its directors shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duties as directors to the
Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty,
and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or
other forms of non-monetary relief will remain under Delaware law. Further, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving



                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that
the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or
its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the Registrant or its stockholders when the director
was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the
Registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between
the director and the Registrant and for improper distributions to stockholders
and loans to directors and officers. This provision also does not affect a
director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities
laws or state or federal environmental laws. In addition, the Registrant has
entered into contractual agreements with each of its directors and certain
officers of the Registrant designated by the Board to indemnify such individuals
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

ITEM  7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

         (*) Incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Registration
             Statement on Form S-1(File No. 333-06349), which was declared
             effective by the Commission on September 19, 1996.

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 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.

                     (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.

 

                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4
                     (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 of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 of 1933 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 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.

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

                       REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement the following documents and information heretofore filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission:

                  (a) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
         quarter ended September 30, 1996 filed on November 14, 1996.

                  (b) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained
         in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as amended,
         filed on July 5, 1996.

         All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on or after the date
of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof
from the date of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.        DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 5.         INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.         INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court
to award or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Registrant's Bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors
and officers and permissible indemnification of employees and other agents to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. In
addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, its directors shall not be personally liable for monetary
damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duties as directors to the
Registrant and its stockholders. This provision in the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the directors' fiduciary duty,
and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or
other forms of non-monetary relief will remain under Delaware law. Further, each
director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving

                                      II-1
3
intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for acts or omissions that
the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or
its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions involving a reckless disregard
for the director's duty to the Registrant or its stockholders when the director
was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the
Registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that constitute an
unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's
duty to the Registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between
the director and the Registrant and for improper distributions to stockholders
and loans to directors and officers. This provision also does not affect a
director's responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities
laws or state or federal environmental laws. In addition, the Registrant has
entered into contractual agreements with each of its directors and certain
officers of the Registrant designated by the Board to indemnify such individuals
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         (*) Incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Registration
             Statement on Form S-1(File No. 333-06349), which was declared
             effective by the Commission on September 19, 1996.

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 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.

                     (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.

 

                                      II-2
4
                     (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 of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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 of 1933 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 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.
