         (a) The description of the Common Stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 21, 1996
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the
Registrant with the Commission (File Number 333-09143), and any amendment or

         (b)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
              ended December 31, 1996;

         (c)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
              quarter ended March 31, 1997;

         (d)  The Registrant's Interim Report on Form 8-K filed on June 27,
              1997; and

         (e)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal

that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all such
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained herein or 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superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a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 incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies
or supersedes such statement. Any such 

<PAGE>



statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.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

         As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") provides that no
director shall be personally liable to the Company or any stockholder for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability: (i) arising from payment of dividends or approval of a stock purchase
in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL; (ii) for any breach of the duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. While the Certificate provides protection from awards for
monetary damages for breaches of the duty of care, it does not eliminate the
director's duty of care. Accordingly, the Certificate will not affect the
availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction, based on a director's
breach of the duty of care. The provisions of the Certificate described above
apply to officers of the Company only if they are directors of the Company and
are acting in their capacity as directors, and does not apply to officers of the
Company who are not directors.

         In addition, the Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors, and any employee who serves as an officer
or director of any corporation at the Company's request, to the fullest extent
permitted under and in accordance with the DGCL. Under the DGCL, directors and
officers as well as employees and individuals may be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation as a derivative action) if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

         Reference is made to Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit
1.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1), which provides for
indemnification of the Company's officers, directors and controlling persons by
the Underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act.

                  The Company has obtained a director and officer liability
insurance policy, under which each director and certain officers of the Company
would be insured against certain liabilities.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed

         Not applicable.

*    Incorporated herein by reference from the Company's Registration Statement
     on Form S-1, filed by the Registrant with the Commission (File Number
     333-09143) and declared effective by the Commission on October 22, 1996.


Item 9.  Undertakings

         (a)      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 to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement.

                  (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 hereby which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.

         (b) The 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 Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in this 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 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 Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



director, officer or controlling person of 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.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly

Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 21, 1996
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), which incorporates by reference the description of the
Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by the
Registrant with the Commission (File Number 333-09143), and any amendment or
report filed with the Commission for purposes of updating such description;

         (b)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
              ended December 31, 1996;

         (c)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal
              quarter ended March 31, 1997;

         (d)  The Registrant's Interim Report on Form 8-K filed on June 27,
              1997; and

         (e)  The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal

that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all such
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained herein or 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 incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies
or supersedes such statement. Any such
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

         As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") provides that no
director shall be personally liable to the Company or any stockholder for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability: (i) arising from payment of dividends or approval of a stock purchase
in violation of Section 174 of the DGCL; (ii) for any breach of the duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (iii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. While the Certificate provides protection from awards for
monetary damages for breaches of the duty of care, it does not eliminate the
director's duty of care. Accordingly, the Certificate will not affect the
availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction, based on a director's
breach of the duty of care. The provisions of the Certificate described above
apply to officers of the Company only if they are directors of the Company and
are acting in their capacity as directors, and does not apply to officers of the
Company who are not directors.

         In addition, the Company's By-Laws provide that the Company shall
indemnify its officers and directors, and any employee who serves as an officer
or director of any corporation at the Company's request, to the fullest extent
permitted under and in accordance with the DGCL. Under the DGCL, directors and
officers as well as employees and individuals may be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation as a derivative action) if they acted in good faith
and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

         Reference is made to Section 8 of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit
1.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1), which provides for
indemnification of the Company's officers, directors and controlling persons by
the Underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including certain
liabilities under the Securities Act.

                  The Company has obtained a director and officer liability
insurance policy, under which each director and certain officers of the Company
would be insured against certain liabilities.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed

         Not applicable.

------------------------------------

*    Incorporated herein by reference from the Company's Registration Statement
     on Form S-1, filed by the Registrant with the Commission (File Number
     333-09143) and declared effective by the Commission on October 22, 1996.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         (a)      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 to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement.

                  (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 hereby which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.

         (b) The 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 Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference
in this 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 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 Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a

                                       -3-
director, officer or controlling person of 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.

                                       -4-
