We are incorporating by reference into this Registration Statement the
following documents that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission:
(a) Our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2002, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (File No. 000-23597).
(b) Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 16, 2002, filed
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (File No.
000-23597).
(c) The description of our Common Stock contained in our Registration

(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 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

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.
