The Annual Report of Registrant on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). ITEM 3(B). All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K referred to in (a) above. ITEM 3(C). The description of the Registrant's Common Stock which is contained in Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A/A dated December 2, 1994, filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act (File No. 1-10639) and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. All documents, reports and definitive proxy or information statements subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing such documents. ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES. Not applicable. ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL. Not applicable. ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Further, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such liability does not arise from certain prescribed conduct (including intentional misconduct and breach of the duty of loyalty). The Registrant's Bylaws provide for indemnification of certain officers, directors, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, including under circumstances in which indemnification may otherwise be discretionary under Delaware law. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors by which the Registrant provides such persons with further indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law which may require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

UNDERTAKINGS. 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 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, 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 post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 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) II-3 or Section 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 this 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. 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 Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Registrant, Indemnification Agreements entered into between the Registrant and its officers and directors, 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 hereunder, 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.
