ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Our officers and directors are covered by provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which
serve to limit, and, in some instances, to indemnify them against, liabilities
which they may incur in their respective capacities. Our certificate of
incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law. Specifically, the directors of the Company will not
be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases
or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.

     Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers
(as well as certain other persons) if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe the conduct was unlawful. In an action by or in the right of the
Company, no indemnification may be made if the person shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the Company unless the court in which the action was brought
determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court deems proper. Our bylaws
also provide that any indemnification (unless ordered by a court) may be made by
the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the
applicable standard of conduct. This determination must be made (i) by the board
of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not
parties to the action, (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders of the Company. If an
indemnified person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
any action described above, or in the defense of any matter in the action, the
person will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
in connection with the action, without the necessity of authorization in the
specific case. Expenses incurred in defending or investigating a threatened or
pending action may be paid by us in advance of the final disposition of the
action upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay the amount if it is
ultimately determined that indemnification is not proper. The indemnification
and advancement of expenses provided by or granted
                                      II-1
<PAGE>   3

under our bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, contract, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, it being our policy that indemnification of the persons specified in
the bylaws shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by our bylaws, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director or officer and inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of that person.

     We carry directors' and officers' liability insurance.

ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     During the past three years, we have issued unregistered securities to a
limited number of persons as described below:

          In April 1997, we raised approximately $9.0 million from the sale of
     an aggregate of 8,093,022 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to 66
     investors in an offering at $1.10 per share. We paid Robertson, Stephens &
     Company LLC $145,096.98 and issued an additional 81,027 shares of Series D
     Preferred Stock to Robertson, Stephens & Company LLC as consideration for
     its services as a placement agent in connection with the Series D offering.

          In the second half of 1997, we raised approximately $15.4 million from
     the sale of an aggregate of 431,327,408 shares of Series E Preferred Stock
     to 49 investors in an offering at $.035619838954 per share. We paid
     BankAmerica Robertson Stephens a placement agent fee in the amount of
     $32,040 as consideration for its services as a placement agent in
     connection with the Series E offering.

          In late 1998, we raised approximately $15.7 million from the sale of
     an aggregate of 283,471,155 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to 31
     investors in an offering at $0.05526523774 per share.

          On June 11, 1999 and August 2, 1999, we raised approximately $6.0
     million and $338,187, respectively, from the sale of convertible promissory
     notes along with warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to certain
     of our existing stockholders. These loans were evidenced by convertible
     promissory notes and $6.3 million of the notes automatically converted into
     shares of Series G Preferred Stock upon the closing of the offering of
     Series G Preferred Stock.

          In September 1999, we raised $30 million from the sale of an aggregate
     of 230,769,231 shares of Series G Preferred Stock to 45 investors in an
     offering at $0.13 per share.

          From January 1, 1996 through October 26, 1999, (the most recent
     practicable date), we granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of
     148,517,725 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $.066 to
     $10.62 per share to employees, consultants and directors (net of options
     forfeited for failure to exercise prior to expiration date).

          From January 1, 1996 through October 26, 1999, (the most recent
     practicable date), we issued and sold an aggregate of 18,499,659 shares of
     our common stock to employees, consultants and directors for aggregate
     consideration of $225,012 pursuant to exercise of stock options and grant
     of stock awards.

     For additional information concerning these sales of unregistered
securities, see "Certain Transactions" in the form of prospectus included in
this registration statement.

     Except where otherwise provided above, none of these unregistered sales
transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions,
or any public offering. We believe that each transaction was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) or Rule 701 pursuant
to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided
under Rule 701. The recipients in these transactions represented their intention
to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution of the securities, and appropriate legends
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4

were affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in the
transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships
with us, to information about us.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 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 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

                                      II-3
<PAGE>   5

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 registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, 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 this offering of such securities at
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

                                   SIGNATURES


     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
has duly caused this Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1 Registration Statement to be
