         Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of
indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.


                                      II-2

<PAGE>

         Article IX of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.

         Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the indemnification
of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and
not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, in any criminal action
or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.

         The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in
the Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements
with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

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, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be


                                      II-3

<PAGE>

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 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 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.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

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

         1.       The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter's period ended September 30, 1999.

         2.       The Registrant's Prospectus, filed with the Commission on
July 1, 1999, pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act").

         3.       The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated November
23, 1999, filed on November 24, 1999 including any amendment or report filed
for the purpose of updating such description.

         4.        The description of Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as declared effective by the
Commission on June 21, 1999, filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and, any amendment or report filed for
the purpose of updating such description.

         All documents filed by Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement on
Form S-8 and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities

Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing 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 permits a
corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the
corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of
indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.

                                      II-2
Article IX of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.

         Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the indemnification
of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and
not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, in any criminal action
or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful.

         The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in
the Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements
with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

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, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be

                                      II-3
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 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 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.
