                  (a) The  Company's  latest  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

                           with the SEC on May 12, 2000 and August 14, 2000, for
                           the periods  ended March 31, 2000 and June 30,  2000,
                           respectively;

                  (c)      The Company's  Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with
                           the SEC on August 31, 2000 and October 31, 2000; and

                  All reports and  definitive  proxy or  information  statements
filed  pursuant to Section 13(a),  13(c),  14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the
date of this Registration  Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which  indicates that all securities  offered hereby have been sold or
which  de-registers  all securities then remaining  unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated  by reference  into this  Registration  Statement  and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement  contained in a
document  incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration  Statement
to the extent that a statement  contained  herein or in any  subsequently  filed

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

                  Under Section 145 of the Delaware General  Corporation Law the
Company  has broad  powers to  indemnify  its  directors  and  officers  against
liabilities they may incur in such capacities,  including  liabilities under the
Securities  Act of 1933 (the "1933  Act").  The  Company's  Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Company's  Amended
and Restated  Bylaws  require the Company to indemnify  any persons by reason of
the  fact  that he is or was a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of the
Company,  or is or was serving at the request of the Company,  against  expenses
(including  attorneys'  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 Company and,  with respect to
any  criminal  action or  proceeding,  had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his
conduct was  unlawful;  provided that if an action or suit is by or in the right
of the Company against such director,  officer, employee or agent of the Company
and such person is adjudged to be liable to the Company  then the Company  shall
only  indemnify such person to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit is brought shall have  determined that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

                  The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its  directors  and  executive  officers.   Such  indemnity  agreements  contain
provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific  indemnification
provisions contained in Delaware law.

Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned 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:

                  (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was  registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the
changes in volume  and price  represent  no more than 20  percent  change in the
maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                  (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.

         (b) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Act,
each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be  deemed to be a new  registration
statement  relating to the securities  offered herein,  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 Act, each filing of the registrant's  annual
report  pursuant  to  Section  13(a) or  Section  15(d) of the Act  (and,  where
applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
section 15(d) of the Act) that is incorporated by reference in the  Registration
Statement  shall be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the
securities  offered  herein,  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 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  Act and is,
therefore,  unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification

<PAGE>

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.

                  Pursuant to the  requirements  of the 1933 Act, the Registrant
certifies  that it has  reasonable  grounds to believe  that it meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on Form S-8 and has  duly  caused  this  Registration
Statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by  the  undersigned,  thereunto  duly
authorized, in the City of Foster City, State of California on November 2, 2000.
