PART II: INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated into this registration statement
by reference:
(a) our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999;
(b) all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
since the end of the fiscal year covered by the document referred
to in (a) above; and
(c) the description of our common stock contained in our registration
statement on Form 8-A filed under Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities registered hereby have been sold
or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the
filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Certain partners and investment partnerships comprised of certain
partners of Fenwick & West LLP, our counsel, own 64,758 shares of our common
stock.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court
to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and executive officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including
reimbursement for expenses incurred arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of
incorporation, as amended, includes a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as
a director, except for liability:
- for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders;
- for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
- under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (regarding
unlawful dividends and stock purchases); or
- for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
II-1
<PAGE> 3
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, our bylaws provide
that:
- we are required to indemnify our directors and executive officers to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, subject to limited exceptions;
- we may indemnify our other employees and agents as set forth in the
Delaware General Corporation Law;
- we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors
and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to
limited exceptions; and
- the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.
We entered into indemnity agreements with each of our current directors
and executive officers to give such directors and executive officers additional
contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in
our certificate of incorporation and to provide additional procedural
protections. The indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation,
bylaws and the indemnity agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of our directors and executive officers for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act.
We entered into underwriting agreements with investment banks and
certain of our stockholders in connection with our initial public offering and
secondary public offering pursuant to which the underwriters agreed to indemnify
us, our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Likewise, pursuant to our Fourth
Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, stockholders exercising rights
pursuant to this agreement have agreed to indemnify us, our directors and our
officers who sign the registration statement against certain liabilities
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have also obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance that
will include coverage for securities matters. At present, there is no pending
litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees
regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened
litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 9.

indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein:

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
We hereby undertake:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(b) 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; and
(c) 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;
provided, however, that (a) and (b) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by (a) and (b) is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by us pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the 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 which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of our annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 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 in the registration statement, and the
offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering of those securities.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have 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 us of expenses incurred or paid by one or more of our directors,
officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion
of our 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.
