PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:
Item 3(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 1997.
Item 3(b)
The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997.
Item 3(c)
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock
contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (Registration No. 33-45391), as amended
by the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the Commission on August 5, 1993, including any
amendments or reports filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
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
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.
Sections 145(a) and 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law permit a corporation to indemnify any person against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed nonderivative action and against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed derivative action if such person was or is a
party or was threatened to be made a party to such action by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation. Any indemnification shall be made if a determination in each
instance is made either by a majority vote of the Board of Directors (other than
directors who are parties to such action) even though less than a quorum, by the
stockholders, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that such
indemnification is proper because the director, officer, employee or agent acted
in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, that such person had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful. However, no indemnification may be made
with respect to a derivative action if such person is adjudged to be liable to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of
Chancery or the court in which the action was brought determines upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent that a person has been
successful in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, Section 145(c) provides
that such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith. A corporation may also advance
expenses incurred in defending proceedings against an officer or a director upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay
such expenses to the corporation if it is ultimately determined that such
officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided under the Delaware General
Corporation Law are not exclusive of any other rights to indemnification or
advancement of expenses a person may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Under the terms of Article VIII of the Registrant's Bylaws,
the Registrant is required to indemnify any person who is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant (or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant
as a director, officer, trustee or partner of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise) in the manner and to the fullest
extent permitted under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
against expenses, liabilities and other matters covered by or referred to in
Section 145.
As permitted by paragraph (7) of subsection (b) of Section 102
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Article VIII of the Registrant's
Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall
be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of his or her fiduciary duty as a director except for liability (a) for breach
of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b)
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (relating to unlawful declarations or payments of dividends or
unlawful stock purchases or redemptions); or (d) for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

23.2 Consent of Bryan Cave LLP (included in Exhibit 5.1)
24.1 Power of Attorney -- See page 5 of the initial filing of the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-34887)
(1) Incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-34887) filed with the Commission on
September 3, 1997.
(2) Incorporated by reference to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K
(File No. 0-19835) filed with the Commission on September 29, 1997.
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 and 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 percent 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 information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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.
(4) 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.
(b) 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 Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
