      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

      amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files reports,
      proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission. The following documents, which are on file with the Securities
      and Exchange Commission, are incorporated in this Registration Statement
      by reference:

            (a) The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
      13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the Registrant's 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.

            (b) 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 (a) above.

      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

      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 Any statement so modified or superseded
      shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a

      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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware 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 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.

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

Article NINTH of 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, or
threatened to be brought, against him by virtue of his position as, or agreement
to become, a director or officer of the Registrant or by virtue of his serving,
or agreeing to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer,
or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, a corporation, trust or other
enterprise, 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



                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   4

connection with any action by or in the right of the Registrant brought, or
threatened to be brought, against him by virtue of his position as, or agreement
to become, a director or officer of the Registrant or by virtue of his serving,
or agreeing to serve, at the request of the Registrant, as a director, officer,
or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, a corporation, trust or other
enterprise, 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, provided that he undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such
expenses.

The Registrant is required to provide the indemnification described herein
unless the officer or director has not met the applicable standard of conduct
required for indemnification. Whether the applicable standard of conduct has
been met shall be determined in each instance by (a) a majority vote of the
directors of the Registrant consisting of persons who are not at that time
parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question ("disinterested
directors"), whether or not a quorum, (b) a majority vote of a committee of
disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors,
whether or not a quorum, (c) a majority vote of a quorum of the outstanding
shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for directors, voting as a
single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that
time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question, (d) independent
legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel
to the Registrant), or (e) a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event of a
determination that the director or officer did not meet the applicable standard
of conduct required for indemnification, or if the Registrant fails to make a
disposition within 60 days after written request for indemnification or
advancement of expenses to the Registrant is made by such person, such person is
permitted to petition the court to make an independent determination as to
whether such person is entitled to indemnification. 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.

Article NINTH of the Certificate of Incorporation further provides that the
indemnification provided therein is not exclusive, and provides that in the
event that the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to expand the
indemnification permitted to directors or officers, the Registrant must
indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted by such law as so
amended.

      Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

      Not applicable.

      Item 8.  Exhibits.

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

      Item 9.  Undertakings.

      1.    The Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (a) 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.

        (b) 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.

        (c) 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 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.

      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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
