PART I.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

         The information required by Part I is included in documents sent or
given to participants in the Registrant's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to
Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

         ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting
requirements of Sections 13(a), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files
reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). The following documents, which are on file with
the Commission, are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:

                  (1)      The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant
         to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or the latest prospectus
         filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains
         audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year
         for which such statements have been filed.

                  (2)      All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by
         the document referred to in (1) above.

                  (3)      The description of the common stock of the
         Registrant, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), contained
         in a registration statement filed under the Exchange Act, including any
         amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

                  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all shares of Common Stock
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all shares of Common Stock
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
and to be part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

         ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally
liable for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Law")
prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breach of
fiduciary duty.

         The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director or officer of
the Registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than
an action by or in the right of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of
his position as a director or officer of the Registrant 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 and (b)
shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any
action by or in the right of the Registrant brought against him by virtue of his
position as a director or officer of the Registrant 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 with
respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such
adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to
indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he
is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to
a director or officer at his request, unless it is determined that he did not
act 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such
expenses.

         As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is
sought and the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume
the defense thereof.

         The Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the
indemnification provided therein is not exclusive and that Registrant may enter
into agreements with officers and directors providing for indemnification rights
and procedures different from those set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation.

         Section 145 of the Law provides that a corporation has the power to
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain
other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities
against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or
proceeding to which he is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of


                                      II-3
<PAGE>   4

such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made
with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating
court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

         ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.

         ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         1.       The 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;

                           (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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
                  price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
                  aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                  Registration fee" table in the effective registration
                  statement; and

                           (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 (i) and (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 in the
         Registration Statement.


                                      II-4
<PAGE>   5

                  (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.

         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 therein, 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 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.

PART I.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

         The information required by Part I is included in documents sent or
given to participants in the Registrant's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan pursuant to
Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

         ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting
requirements of Sections 13(a), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files
reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). The following documents, which are on file with
the Commission, are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:

                  (1)      The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant
         to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or the latest prospectus
         filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains
         audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year
         for which such statements have been filed.

                  (2)      All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by
         the document referred to in (1) above.

                  (3)      The description of the common stock of the
         Registrant, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), contained
         in a registration statement filed under the Exchange Act, including any
         amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

                  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all shares of Common Stock
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all shares of Common Stock
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
and to be part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

         ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally
liable for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except to the extent that the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Law")
prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breach of
fiduciary duty.

         The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director or officer of
the Registrant (a) shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than
an action by or in the right of the Registrant) brought against him by virtue of
his position as a director or officer of the Registrant 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 and (b)
shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any
action by or in the right of the Registrant brought against him by virtue of his
position as a director or officer of the Registrant 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 with
respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such
adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to
indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent
that a director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, he
is required to be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection therewith. Expenses shall be advanced to
a director or officer at his request, unless it is determined that he did not
act 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 reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such
expenses.

         As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the director
or officer must give the Registrant notice of the action for which indemnity is
sought and the Registrant has the right to participate in such action or assume
the defense thereof.

         The Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the
indemnification provided therein is not exclusive and that Registrant may enter
into agreements with officers and directors providing for indemnification rights
and procedures different from those set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation.

         Section 145 of the Law provides that a corporation has the power to
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain
other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities
against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or
proceeding to which he is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of

                                      II-3

such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made
with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to
be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating
court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

         ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

         ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.

         ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         1.       The 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;

                           (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) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
                  price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum
                  aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                  Registration fee" table in the effective registration
                  statement; and

                           (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 (i) and (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 in the
         Registration Statement.

                                      II-4
5

                  (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.

         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 therein, 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 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.
