ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we can indemnify
any person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened,
pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative other than action by us or on our behalf, by
reason of the fact that such person is or was one of our officers or directors,
or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best
interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was illegal. Under Delaware law, we may also indemnify officers
and directors in an action by us or on our behalf under the same conditions,
except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to us in the performance of his or
her duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action referred to above, we must indemnify him or her
against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably
incurred.

    Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision to limit the personal
liability of our directors for violations of their fiduciary duty. This
provision eliminates each director's liability to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The effect of
this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary
damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care,
including any such actions involving gross negligence.

    Our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

    We have entered, or concurrently with this offering, will enter, into
indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, a form of which is
attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
reference to this registration statement. The indemnification agreements provide
indemnification to our directors and officers under certain circumstances for
acts or omissions which may not be covered by directors' and officers' liability
insurance. We intend to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance,
which will insure against liabilities that our directors or officers may incur
in such capacities.

    The purchase agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this
registration statement, provides for indemnification by the underwriters of us
and our officers and directors, and by us of the underwriters, for certain
liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance
upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder,
or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, as
transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or transactions
pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensations
as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of securities in each such
transaction represented to us their intention to acquire the securities for
investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities
issued in such transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their
relationships with us, to information about us.
