               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

         We are incorporating by reference into this Registration Statement the
following documents that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

         (a)    Our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
                30, 2001, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities
                Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (File No.
                000-23597).

         (b)    Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended,
                September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001, March 31, 2002, filed
                pursuant to Section 13(a) of the 1934 Act (File No. 000-23597).

         (c)    Our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 28, 2002, filed
                pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (File No.
                000-23597).

         (d)    The description of our Common Stock contained in our
                Registration Statement on Form 8-A, pursuant to Section 12(b) of
                the 1934 Act (File No. 1-10658), including any amendment or
                report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
                purpose of updating such description.

         All reports and other documents filed by us pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 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 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 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.

         Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the
indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware
law.

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

         We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and
executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in our Bylaws,
and intend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and
executive officers in the future.

         We carry officer and director liability insurance with respect to
certain matters, including matters arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)   We hereby undertake:

               (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 this information in the
                        Registration Statement.

               (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                        the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
                        will 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)   We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any
               liability under the Securities Act, each filing of our annual
               report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act
               (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
               annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) 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 our directors, officers and
               controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
               otherwise, we have 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 our payment
               of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or
               a controlling person 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, we 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.


                                       -3-
