PROSPECTUS
                                1,865,152 shares

                                INTELLICALL, INC.

                                  Common Stock

         All of the  shares  of Common  Stock,  par  value  $.01 per share  (the
"Common Stock") of Intellicall,  Inc., a Delaware corporation  ("Intellicall" or
the  "Company"),  offered  hereby  are  being  offered  for  resale  by  certain
shareholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders") as described more fully
herein.  The Company will not receive any  proceeds  from the sale of the shares
offered hereby.

         The shares of Common Stock offered  hereby by the Selling  Stockholders
consist of (i) in  accordance  with Rule 416 of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), a presently  indeterminate  number of shares issued or
issuable  upon  conversion  of or  otherwise  in respect of 4,000  shares of the
Company's 7% Series A Convertible  Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"),  and
(ii) 36,580 shares of Common Stock issued to Swartz Investments,  LLC as partial
consideration for arranging the sale of the Preferred Stock. For the purposes of
calculating  the  number of shares of  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by the
Selling  Stockholders  holding  Preferred  Stock, the number of shares of Common
Stock  calculated  to be  issuable  in  connection  with the  conversion  of the
Preferred  Stock is based on a price of $2.1875 per share,  which price is below
the price per share of $4.00 as of the date of this  Prospectus.  The  number of
shares  available for resale,  however,  is subject to  adjustment  and could be
materially  less or more than such  estimated  amount  depending  on the  future
market price of the Common Stock. This presentation is not intended,  and should
in no way be construed, to constitute a prediction as to the future market price
of the Common Stock. See "Risk Factors --Potential Dilution; Shares Eligible for
Future Sales;  Possible  Effect on  Additional  Equity  Financing"  and "Selling
Stockholders."


         THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH
         DEGREE OF RISK. SEE "RISK FACTORS" AT PAGE 6 OF THE PROSPECTUS.

         THESE   SECURITIES  HAVE  NOT  BEEN  APPROVED  OR  DISAPPROVED  BY  THE
         SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES  COMMISSION
         NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
         COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY
         REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

     All  expenses  of this  offering  will be paid by the  Company  except  for
commissions, fees and discounts of any underwriters,  brokers, dealers or agents
retained by the Selling Stockholders.  Estimated expenses payable by the Company
in  connection  with this  offering are  approximately  $15,500.  The  aggregate
proceeds to the Selling  Stockholders from the Common Stock will be the purchase
price of the  Common  Stock  sold  less the  aggregate  agents'  commission  and
underwriters' discounts, if any. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders  and certain other persons against certain  liabilities,  including
liabilities under the 1933 Act.

     The Common Stock being registered under the Registration Statement of which
this  Prospectus  is a part may be offered  for sale from time to time by or for
the account of such Selling  Stockholders  in the open  market,  on the New York
Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE"),   in  privately   negotiated   transactions,   in  an
underwritten  offering,  or a  combination  of such  methods,  at market  prices
prevailing  at the time of sale,  at prices  related to such  prevailing  market
prices  or at  negotiated  prices.  The  Selling  Stockholders  and any  agents,
broker-dealers  or  underwriters  that  participate in the  distribution  of the
Common Stock may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the meaning of the 1933
Act and any  commission  received  by them and any  profit on the  resale of the
Common  Stock  purchased by them may be deemed to be  underwriting  discounts or
commissions   under  the  1933  Act.  See  "Use  of   Proceeds"   and  "Plan  of
Distribution."

     The Common  Stock of the Company is listed on the NYSE  (Symbol:  ICL).  On
July 23, 1998, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE was $4.00.

                                  RISK FACTORS

Recent History of Losses

         The  Company  incurred  net  losses  of  $10,905,000,   $4,995,000  and
$6,139,000  for the  fiscal  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and  1995,
respectively.  The Company  enjoyed a profit of $4,518,000  for the three months
ended March 31, 1998  resulting from a gain of $6,399,000 on the sale of assets.
Without such gain the Company's loss for such three month period would have been
$1,881,000.  Such losses are  primarily  attributable  to profit  margins on the
Company's  hardware  products  which  have been  insufficient  to meet  selling,
marketing, sustaining engineering, and other general and administrative costs of
the Company.  The Company's  historical losses have required the Company to seek
various  sources of  financing,  including the sale of assets of the Company and
the sale of debt and equity  securities  including the Preferred Stock purchased
by certain of the Selling Stockholders. While the Company believes operations of
the Company are  improving,  there can be no assurance  that the Company will be
able to return to profitability.

Changes in Management

         The Company has  recently  made  various  management  changes.  John J.
McDonald, Jr. became president and chief executive officer of the Company in May
1998 and John M.  Carradine  became  Chief  Financial  Officer in August,  1997.
William 0. Hunt, the Company's prior president,  has remained as Chairman of the
Board.  Mr. McDonald joined the Company in February 1997 while Mr. Carradine has
been  with  the   Company   for  eight   years  in  roles  of  ever   increasing
responsibility.   While  the  Company  believes  these  management  changes  are
beneficial  to the  Company,  there  can be no  assurance  that  the new  senior
management team will be able to implement the Company's strategy.

Potential Redemption of Preferred Stock

         Pursuant to the  regulations of the NYSE, in the absence of shareholder
approval,  the  Company may not issue,  in the  aggregate,  more than  1,860,500
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of all of the Preferred  Stock. As of the
date of this  Prospectus,  Selling  Stockholders  have converted 1,310 shares of
Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 358,377 shares of Common Stock.  The actual
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon  conversion  of the remaining
Preferred  Stock will depend on the average  closing  price of the Common  Stock
prior to conversion.  The Company is obligated to redeem any shares of Preferred
Stock  which  may  not be  converted  into  Common  Stock  as a  result  of such
regulatory  limitation,  unless the Company timely obtains shareholder approval.
The cash demands to fund such a redemption  may  adversely  affect the Company's
ability to make future capital  expenditures and fund the development and launch
of new products and/or services. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
Company will have cash available to fund such a redemption.



                                        6

<PAGE>



Possible Need for Additional Financing

         Although  the Company  anticipates  that the net proceeds of the recent
sale of assets and its cash flow from  operations will be sufficient to fund the
Company's  operations  during the short term, there can be no assurance that the
Company  will not require  additional  financing  prior to the end of the fiscal
year ending  December 31, 1998.  The Company's  future  liquidity will depend on
spending levels, working capital turnover and the volume and timing of equipment
sales and gross margins related thereto.

Recent Telecommunications Act

         The Company's pay telephones in the United States are principally  sold
to   independent    payphone   providers.    In   1996   Congress   passed   the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Telecom Act") pursuant to which the Federal
Communications  Commission (the "FCC") was authorized to evaluate and adjust the
amount  of the  compensation  paid  by  long-distance  carriers  to  independent
payphone  companies when consumers  access a long-distance  carrier  directly by
dialing  an  access  or an 800  number  or by  using a  calling  card  which  is
non-billable  by the payphone  provider and thereby  "dial-around"  the payphone
provider's  long-distance  carrier  (from whom the  payphone  provider  receives
compensation)  in order to reach  another  long-distance  carrier (from whom the
payphone provider would not receive  compensation) ("Dial Around").  In November
1996, the FCC issued an order to increase compensation to payphone providers for
Dial-Around;  however such order was  appealed to the U.S.  Court of Appeals for
the Eighth  Circuit,  which  court  ruled in July 1997 that the FCC's  basis for
determining  DialAround  compensation  was  inappropriate.  The Court of Appeals
ordered  the FCC to  re-examine  the  Dial-Around  compensation  structure.  The
Company's  customers  will be  impacted  by the  FCC's  final  determination  on
Dial-Around  compensation.  If such  compensation is reduced,  the determination
could have an adverse impact on the Company's sales of pay telephones.

Competition

         The industry in which the Company  operates is  intensely  competitive.
Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors have far more extensive
financial,   engineering,  product  development,   manufacturing  and  marketing
resources than the Company.  The Company's  products and services compete on the
basis of a  number  of  factors,  including,  (i) in the  case of the  equipment
business,  price,  quality,  features and  functions,  reliability,  service and
support and (ii) in the case of the services  business,  amount of  compensation
paid to payphone providers and pricing of long-distance  services.  There can be
no assurance  that  competitors  will not  introduce  products  and/or  services
incorporating technology as advanced or more advanced than the Company's or that
changes  in the  telecommunications  environment  will not  render  competitors'
product  solutions more  attractive to customers  than the Company's  solutions.
Competitive  pressures often  necessitate price reductions which the Company may
not be able to achieve or which could adversely  affect profit margins which, in
turn, could adversely affect operating  results.  There can be no assurance that
the  Company  will  be  able  to  compete  successfully  with  existing  or  new
competitors  or  that  competitive  pressures  faced  by the  Company  will  not

Potential Dilution: Shares Eligible for Future Sales:
Possible Effect on Additional Equity Financing

         A substantial  number of shares of Common Stock are or will be issuable
by the Company upon the conversion of the Preferred  Stock,  upon  conversion of
debentures  previously  issued by the Company and upon the  exercise of warrants
that the Company has issued,  which could result in dilution of a  shareholder's
percentage  ownership  interest in the Company  and could  adversely  affect the
market price of the Common Stock.  Under the applicable  conversion  formulas of
the  Preferred  Stock,  the  number  of shares of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon
conversion is inversely  proportional to the market price of the Common Stock at
the time of conversion (i.e., the number of shares increases as the market price
of the Common Stock  decreases);  and except with respect to certain  redemption
rights of the Company for the Preferred Stock,  there is no cap on the number of
shares of Common  Stock that may be issued.  In  addition,  the number of shares
issuable upon the  conversion of the  debentures and the exercise of warrants is
subject to adjustment  upon the  occurrence of certain  dilutive  events.  For a
complete  description  of the  rights of  holders of  Preferred  Stock,  see the
Company's  Current  Report on Form 8-K/A  dated  July 21,  1997,  including  the
exhibits thereto.

         On June  30,  1998,  there  were  issued  and  outstanding  a total  of
9,862,255 shares of Common Stock and 2,840 shares of Preferred Stock. If all the
Preferred  Stock  (assuming  a  conversion  price of  $2.1875)  and  convertible
debentures  which the Company has issued  were  converted  into shares of Common
Stock and if all warrants outstanding were exercised, there would be outstanding
15,894,642  shares  of  Common  Stock.  Of  these,  the  Company  currently  has
registered for resale  1,865,152  shares of Common Stock as contemplated in this
Prospectus,  358,377 of which have been issued by the Company  pursuant to prior
conversions of Preferred  Stock to Common Stock.  The sale or  availability  for
sale of a  significant  number of shares of Common  Stock in the  public  market
could  adversely  affect the  market  price of the Common  Stock.  In  addition,
certain holders of outstanding  securities of the Company have rights to approve
and/or  participate in certain types of future equity financings by the Company.
The availability to the Company of additional equity financing, and the terms of
any such financing, may be adversely affected by the foregoing.

Dividend Policy

         The  Company  has  never  paid  cash  dividends  on its  Common  Stock.
Furthermore, the Company currently intends to retain any future earnings for use
in its  business  and does not  expect to pay any cash  dividends  on its Common
Stock in the foreseeable  future.  The Company's  senior secured loan agreements
prohibit the Company from paying  dividends.  Any future change in the Company's
dividend  policy will depend upon the  earnings  and  financial  position of the
Company, the nature of any restrictions on the payment of dividends contained in
debt  agreements  which the Company  has  entered  into or may enter into in the
future and such other  factors as the Board of Directors of the Company may deem
appropriate.

Preferred Stock, Anti-Takeover Provisions

         On June 30, 1998 the Company's  authorized  but unissued  capital stock
includes  1,000,000  shares  of  preferred  stock,  par  value  $.01  per  share
("Authorized  Preferred Stock"),  of which (i) 2,840 shares are currently issued
and  outstanding  and (ii) 1,160 shares have been converted from Preferred Stock
to Common Stock.  During July, 1998 150 shares of Preferred Stock were converted
into  49,506  shares of Common  Stock.  The  rights of the  holders of shares of
Common Stock may be adversely  affected by the  preferential  rights afforded to
the  holders of the  Preferred  Stock  currently  outstanding  and any shares of
Authorized Preferred Stock that may from time to time be issued by action of the
Board of Directors.  In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws,  as  well  as the  General  Corporation  Law of the  State  of  Delaware
("DGCL"), contain certain provisions that may have the effect of discouraging an
unsolicited acquisition proposal.  Furthermore,  upon a change in control of the
Company,   options  granted  under  the  Company's  stock  option  plans  become
immediately exercisable.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         The proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby
are solely for the account of the Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, the Company
will receive none of the proceeds from the sale thereof.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         The  Selling   Stockholders   are  certain   persons  who  provided  or
facilitated equity financing to the Company.  The shares of Common Stock covered
by this Prospectus are being registered to permit secondary  trading and so that
the Selling  Stockholders may offer the shares for resale from time to time. See
"Plan  of  Distribution."  Except  as  described  below,  none  of  the  Selling
Stockholders  has had a material  relationship  with the Company within the past
three  years  other than as a result of the  ownership  of the Common  Stock and
other securities of the Company.

         The following  table sets forth the names of the Selling  Stockholders,
the number of shares of Common Stock owned  beneficially  by each of the Selling
Stockholders  as of June 30, 1998, and the number of shares which may be offered
for resale  pursuant  to this  Prospectus  regardless  of whether  such  Selling
Stockholder  has a present intent to sell.  For the purposes of calculating  the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling  Stockholders
holding  Preferred  Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock calculated to be
issuable in connection  with the conversion of the Preferred Stock is based on a
conversion  price of $2.1875 per share.  The  calculation of the total number of
shares of Common  Stock to be offered by the  holders of such  Preferred  Stock,
however,  is an estimate  based on a  hypothetical  conversion  at the price set
forth in the preceding  sentence,  which price is below the closing market price
of the Common Stock as of June 30, 1998, which price is $3.9375.  If the $3.9375
per share price were used  instead of the per share  prices  listed  above,  the
number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the  remaining
outstanding  shares of  Preferred  Stock  would  decrease  to a total of 961,065
shares. The registration  statement of which this Prospectus is a part includes,
in accordance with Rule 416 of the 1933 Act, an indeterminate number


                                        9

<PAGE>



of shares  issuable upon  conversion  of the Preferred  Stock as a result of the
floating  rate  conversion  features  thereof.  The  use  of  such  hypothetical
conversion  prices  is not  intended,  and  should  in no way be  construed,  to
constitute a prediction as to the future market price of the Common Stock.

         The information  included below is based upon  information  provided by
the Selling  Stockholders.  Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all, some
or none of their shares of Common Stock,  no definite  estimate as to the number
of shares  thereof  that will be held by the  Selling  Stockholders  after  such
offering  can be  provided  and the  following  table has been  prepared  on the
assumption  that the  conversion  price is $2.1875 and that all shares of Common
Stock offered under this Prospectus will be sold.

(1) Unless  otherwise  indicated in the footnotes to this table, the persons and
entities  named in the table  have sole  voting and sole  investment  power with
respect to all shares beneficially owned.

(2) Each of the designated Selling  Stockholders holds shares of Preferred Stock
which are convertible into shares of Common Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock
may be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock,  at the option of each
Selling  Stockholder,  at a  conversion  price  equal to the lesser of $5.05 per
share  (the  "Fixed  Conversion  Price") or eighty  percent  (80%) of the volume
weighted average fifteen day trading price preceding the date of conversion. The
number of shares of Common  Stock  being  offered  by each  Selling  Stockholder
(except for the shares of Common  Stock  described in footnote 3 below) is based
on shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at a conversion  price
of $2.1875. As the conversion price is variable, the actual numbers of shares to


                                       10

<PAGE>



be sold by each designated Selling Stockholder may be substantially more or less
than the number of shares indicated in the table. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each listed Selling  Stockholder can convert into shares of Common Stock only to
the extent that the number of shares issued thereby, combined with the number of
shares of Common Stock held by such Selling  Stockholder,  would not exceed 4.9%
of the then  outstanding  Common Stock,  as  determined in accordance  with Rule
13d-3 of the 1934 Act.  Accordingly,  the  number of shares of Common  Stock set
forth in the table for certain of the Selling Stockholders exceeds the number of
shares of  Common  Stock  that they  could  beneficially  own at any given  time
through their ownership of Preferred Stock. In that regard, beneficial ownership
of those  Selling  Stockholders  set  forth in the  table is not  determined  in
accordance with Rule 13d-3.  Pursuant to a securities  purchase  agreement,  the
Company  agreed to register the shares of Common Stock at its cost to remove the
restriction on free transferability.  The Company has no knowledge as to when or
if any of the Selling Stockholders will convert any of their shares of Preferred
Stock or desire to offer  shares of Common Stock upon such  conversion  for sale
upon the open  market.  For a complete  description  of the rights of holders of
Preferred  Stock,  see the  Certificate  of  Designation of Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock of the Company and the related  Securities  Purchase  Agreement
(with exhibits) filed as an exhibit to the Company's  Current Report on Form 8-K
dated July 21, 1997 as amended by the Form 8-K/A dated July 21, 1997.

(3) Swartz  Investments,  LLC received  36,580 shares of Common Stock as partial
consideration for arranging the sale of the Preferred Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Company is  registering  the shares of Common Stock  offered by the
Selling Stockholders hereunder pursuant to contractual registration rights.

         The shares of Common Stock  offered  hereunder may be sold from time to
time by the Selling Stockholders,  or by pledgees,  donees, transferees or other
successors in interest.  Such sales may be made on the New York Stock  Exchange,
on any exchange or market on which the Common  Stock is listed for  trading,  in
the over-the-counter  market, in privately negotiated  transactions or otherwise
at prices and on terms then  prevailing  or related to the then  current  market
price, or such other prices as the Selling  Stockholders  determine from time to
time.  The  shares  of  Common  Stock  may be  sold  to or  through  one or more
broker-dealers,  acting as agent or principal in underwritten  offerings,  block
trades, agency placements,  exchange  distributions,  brokerage  transactions or
otherwise,  or in any  combination of  transactions.  The shares of Common Stock
hereunder may be used to settle short sales of Common Stock or options held by a
Selling Stockholder.

         In  connection  with  any  transaction   involving  the  Common  Stock,
broker-dealers or others may receive from the Selling  Stockholders,  and may in
turn  pay to  other  broker-dealers  or  others,  compensation  in the  form  of
commissions,  discounts or  concessions in amounts to be negotiated at the time.
Broker-dealers  and any other persons  participating  in a  distribution  of the
Common Stock may be deemed to be  "underwriters"  within the meaning of the 1933
Act in connection with such distribution, and any such commissions, discounts or
concessions may be deemed to be underwriting  discounts or commissions under the
1933 Act.


                                       11

<PAGE>




         Any and all of the sales or other  transactions  involving  the  Common
Stock described above, whether effected by the Selling Stockholders,  any broker
dealer or others,  may be made  pursuant to this  Prospectus.  In addition,  any
shares of Common Stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933
Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than  pursuant to this  Prospectus.  There
can be no  assurances  that all or any of the  shares  of Common  Stock  offered
hereby will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Stockholders.

         To comply with the securities  laws of certain  states,  if applicable,
the Common Stock may be sold in such  jurisdictions  only through  registered or
licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, shares of Common Stock may not be sold
unless they have been  registered  or qualified  for sale or an  exemption  from
registration  or  qualification  requirements  is available and is complied with
under applicable state securities laws.

         The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed, and hereafter may
further  agree,  to  indemnify  each  other  and  certain   persons,   including
broker-dealers  or others,  against  certain  liabilities in connection with any
offering of the Common Stock, including liabilities arising under the 1933 Act.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS

         Certain  legal  matters  have been passed upon for the Company by Kane,
Russell, Coleman & Logan, P.C., Dallas, Texas.

by  reference  to the Annual  Report on Form 10-K of  Intellicall,  Inc. for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997,  have been so  incorporated  in reliance on
the  report  of Price  Waterhouse  LLP,  independent  accountants,  given on the

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Delaware General Corporation Law

         Section 145(a) of the General  Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the "DGCL")  provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is
a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party  to any  threatened,  pending  or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative  (other than an action by or in the right of the  corporation)  by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the  corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of the  corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him in  connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding 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.

         Section  145(b) of the DGCL provides  that a corporation  may indemnify
any  person  who was or is a party  or is  threatened  to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or


                                      II-1

<PAGE>



suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent of
the  corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of the  corporation  as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually  and  reasonably  incurred  by him in  connection  with the  defense or
settlement  of such  action or suit 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 except that no  indemnification  shall be made in respect of any
claim,  issue or matter as to which such person  shall have been  adjudged to be
liable  to the  corporation  unless  and only to the  extent  that the  Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought  shall  determine
upon application that,  despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to
indemnity  for such  expenses  which the Court of  Chancery  or such other court
shall deem proper.

         Section 145(c) of the DGCL provides that to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise  in  defense  of  any  action,  suit  or  proceeding  referred  to  in
subsections  (a) and (b) of Section  145,  or in defense of any claim,  issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified  against expenses (including  attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section  145(d) of the DGCL  provides  that any  indemnification  under
subsections  (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless  ordered by the court)  shall be
made  by the  corporation  only  as  authorized  in  the  specific  case  upon a
determination that indemnification of the director,  officer,  employee or agent
is proper in the  circumstances  because he has met the  applicable  standard of
conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145. Such  determination
shall  be made (1) by the  board of  directors  by a  majority  vote of a quorum
consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding,
or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable,  or, even if obtainable,  if a quorum
of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

         Section 145(e) of the DGCL provides that expenses (including attorneys'
fees)  incurred  by an officer or  director in  defending  any civil,  criminal,
administrative  or investigative  action,  suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation  in  advance  of the  final  disposition  of  such  action,  suit or
proceeding  upon receipt of an  undertaking  by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such
expenses (including  attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may
be so paid upon such terms and  conditions,  if any,  as the board of  directors
deems appropriate.

Certificate of Incorporation

         Article Tenth of the Company's  Certificate of  Incorporation  provides
that a director of the Company shall not be personally  liable to the Company 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 Company or its  stockholders,  (ii) for acts or omissions  not in
good faith or which involve


                                      II-2

<PAGE>



intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of
the DGCL or (iv) for any  transaction in which the director  derived an improper
personal benefit.

         Article Tenth of the Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation  further
provides  that the Company  shall  indemnify  to the full extent  authorized  or
permitted  by law any person  made,  or  threatened  to be made,  a party to any
action or proceeding  (whether  civil or criminal or otherwise) by reason of the
fact that he, his testator or intestate,  is or was a director or officer of the
Company, or is or was serving any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity.

Bylaws

         Article I of the  Company's  Bylaws  provides  that the  Company  shall
indemnify to the same extent as provided in its Certificate of Incorporation any
person  made,  or  threatened  to be made,  a party to any action or  proceeding
(whether  civil or  criminal  or  otherwise)  by reason of the fact that he, his
testator or intestate,  is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or
was serving any other corporation,  partnership,  joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity.

Indemnification Agreements

         The  Company  has  entered   into   Indemnification   Agreements   (the
"Indemnification  Agreements")  pursuant  to which it has  agreed  to  indemnify
certain of its directors and officers against judgments, claims, damages, losses
and expenses  incurred as a result of the fact that any party thereto is, was or
has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is
or was  serving or has agreed to serve in any  capacity,  at the  request of the
Company, in any other corporation,  partnership, joint venture, employee benefit
plan, trust or other  enterprise,  to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law and in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions  set forth  therein.  The
Indemnification  Agreements also provide for the advancement of certain expenses
to the directors and officers  party  thereto and authorize  such  directors and
officers to commence litigation in a court of competent  jurisdiction to seek an
initial  determination as to whether  indemnification  is proper or to challenge
any  action  of  the  Board  of   Directors   of  the   Company   denying   them
indemnification.  The Indemnification Agreements also provide that, in the event
that the indemnification  provided for thereunder is for any reason unavailable,
the  Company  shall  contribute  to the amount  incurred  by the  directors  and
officers party thereto in such  proportion as is fair and reasonable in light of
all the circumstances.

     5.1          Opinion of Kane, Russell, Coleman & Logan, P.C.,
                  previously filed

    23.1          Consent of Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP, filed herewith

    24.1          Power of Attorney of certain officers and directors (included
                  in Part II of this Registration Statement on the signature
                  page hereto)

Item 17. Undertakings.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  may be permitted to  directors,  officers,
and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to provisions  described in Item
15, or  otherwise,  the  Company  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for  indemnification  against such liabilities  (other than the payment by
the Company of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or controlling
person  of the  Company  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 Company 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.

         The undersigned Company 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 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; and

                           (iii) 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
do not apply if the information  required to be included in a post effective
amendment  by these paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission  by the  Company  pursuant  to  Section  13 or  
Section  15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange  Act") 
that are  incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under
the Act, each post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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
Act,  Each filing of the Company's  annual  report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or
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
the 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.

         The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that, for purposes of
determining  any liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to section  13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and,  where  applicable,  each  filing of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  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.
