Part II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents have been filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") and are incorporated herein by reference:
1. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
October 30, 1994.
2. Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
ended January 29, 1995.
3. The description of the Company's Common Stock
included in Registration Statements on Form 8-A dated
June 12, 1987 (as amended on August 5, 1993, March
28, 1994, and December 30, 1994), February 24, 1989
(as amended on March 28, 1994 and December 30, 1994)
and December 30, 1994.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby 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
a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained
in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently
filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Reference is made to Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "Delaware GCL"), as amended from time to time ("Section
145"), which provides for indemnification of directors and officers of a
corporation in certain circumstances. Under Article IX of the registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the registrant shall, to the
full extent permitted by Section 145, indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto. Additionally, Article IX provides, among other
matters, that the right to indemnification is a contract right, that the
registrant is expressly authorized to procure insurance, that advancement of
expenses by the registrant is mandatory (except as limited by law), and for
certain procedural mechanisms for the benefit of indemnified parties.
Article VII of the By-Laws of the registrant provides for
indemnification of directors and officers of the registrant. The provisions of
Article VII, among other matters, require the registrant to indemnify certain
persons to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware GCL, as the same may
now exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment
only to the extent that such amendment permits the registrant to provide broader
indemnification rights than such law permitted the registrant to provide prior
to such amendment). Article VII provides that the right to indemnification is a
contract right and makes advances of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding
mandatory, provided that if required by the Delaware GCL, the person seeking
such advances furnishes an undertaking to the registrant to repay all amounts so
entitled to be indemnified. Article VII also expressly provides that any person
claiming indemnification may sue the registrant for payment of amounts due, that
the registrant in such case will have the burden of proving that the claimant
has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible to indemnify the
person for the amount claimed under the Delaware GCL (except in the case of a
claim for advancement of expenses, where the required undertaking, if any, has
been tendered, in which case it shall not be a defense that the person has not
met the applicable standards of conduct) and that neither the failure by the
registrant to have made a determination that indemnification is proper, nor an
actual determination by the registrant that the claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct, is a defense to the action or creates a
presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
The registrant currently maintains directors' and officers'
liability insurance to supplement the protection provided in the registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and its By-Laws. Such
insurance is renewable annually and is subject to standard terms and conditions,
including exclusions from coverage.

Item 9. 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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act");
(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 this registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 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 a 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 of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 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
1933 Act 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 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
