pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement:
(1) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999, filed December 29, 1999; and
(2) The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended

February 14, 2000, May 15, 2000 and August 14, 2000, respectively.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all the securities
offered have been sold or which deregisters all the securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and to be part thereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of
Directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.
Delaware law provides that the directors of a corporation will not be personally
liable to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach
of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (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 as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derives an improper personal benefit. The Company's By-laws provide that the
Company shall indemnify its directors and officers under certain circumstances,
including those circumstances in which indemnification would otherwise be
discretionary, and the Company is required to advance expenses to its officers
and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them for which
they may be indemnified.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on March 8, 2000.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) 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: (i) to
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933; (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 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement; and (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; provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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 a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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.

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 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.
