ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the
corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of
indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.

        Article VII of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible
under Delaware law.

        Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws provides for the indemnification
of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in and
not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.

        The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in
the Registrant's Bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements
with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

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 to include any
material information with respect to the plan



                                       2
<PAGE>   4

of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

        (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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.

(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
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 items described in Item 6 of Part II of this
Registration Statement, 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

        Re:    Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February __, 2000
(the "Registration Statement") in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of an increase of an
aggregate of 2,163,928 shares of your Common Stock to the Common Stock reserved
for issuance under your 1999 Stock Plan and 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(collectively, the "Plans"). As your legal counsel, we have examined the
proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by
you in connection with the sale and issuance of such Common Stock under the
Plans.

        It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to
in the Plans and pursuant to the agreements which accompany the Plans, the
Common Stock issued and sold thereby will be legally and validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

        We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including any Prospectuses constituting a part thereof,
and any amendments thereto. This opinion may be incorporated by reference in any
abbreviated Registration Statement filed pursuant to Item E under the General
Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act with respect to the
Registration Statement.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
