ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

       Section 145 ("Section 145") of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") provides a detailed statutory framework covering indemnification of
officers and directors against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal
proceedings brought against them by reason of their being or having been
directors or officers. Section 145 generally provides that a director or officer
of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for all expenses of
such legal proceedings when he is successful on the merits, (ii) may be
indemnified by the corporation for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement of such proceedings (other than a derivative suit), even if
he is not successful on the merits, 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
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (iii) may be
indemnified by the corporation for the expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by
a stockholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the
corporation), even if he is not successful on the merits, 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 corporation. No indemnification may be made under clause (iii)
above, however, if the director or officer is adjudged liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duties to the corporation, unless a
corporation determines that, despite such adjudication, but in view of all the
circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification. The indemnification described
in clauses (ii) and (iii) above may be made only upon a determination that
indemnification is proper because the applicable standard of conduct has been
met. Such a determination may be made by a majority of a quorum of disinterested
directors, independent legal counsel, the stockholders or a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the
Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145, as it
now exists or as amended, all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.

       Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its
Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination
of personal liability of a director for breach of fiduciary duty, as permitted
by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.

       Section 7 of the Form of Underwriting Agreement, attached as Exhibit 1.1
to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, contains certain provisions relating
to indemnification.

       The Company intends to obtain liability insurance insuring the Company's
officers and directors against liabilities that they may incur in such
capacities.

<PAGE>   4
       The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Company's
charter documents. These agreements, among other things, provide for the
indemnification of the Company's directors and executive officers for certain
expenses (including attorneys' 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 Company, arising out of such person's services as a
director or executive officer of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or
any other company or enterprise to which such person provides services at the
request of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The
Company believes that these provisions and agreements will assist the Company in
attracting and retaining qualified persons to serve as directors and executive
officers.

ITEM 7.    EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

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;

                   (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 this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.


                                      II-4
                               Page 5 of 11 Pages
<PAGE>   6
       Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if this 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 herein, 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 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.

       (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 the Registrant of expenses
incurred 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.

Gentlemen:

       At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8
executed by you on October 24, 1996, and to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares of your
common stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") which will be issuable under
the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plans").

       As your counsel in connection with the Registration Statement, we have
examined the proceedings taken by you in connection with the adoption of the
Plans and the authorization of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock under
the Plans (the "Plan Shares") and such documents as we have deemed necessary to
render this opinion.

       Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Plan Shares, when
issued and outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Plans, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

       We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                                Very truly yours,

                                /s/ Morrison & Foerster LLP
