Pursuant to a registration statement (the "1991 Plan Registration
Statement") on Form S-8 (File No. 33-64202), on June 10, 1993, the Registrant
registered under the Securities Act, 160,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company (giving effect to stock splits effected in the form of stock dividends
subsequent to the filing of the 1991 Plan Registration Statement). The 1991 Plan
Registration Statement covered shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of options granted under the Company's 1991 Director Option Plan (the
"1991 Plan"). As of September 19, 1997, an aggregate of 85,692 shares of Common
Stock covered by the 1991 Plan Registration Statement had not previously been
issued or were not subject to outstanding stock options (the "Unused 1991
Shares").
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 1991 Plan Registration Statement
is being filed for the purpose of transferring 14,822 of the Unused 1991 Shares
(including the Preferred Stock Purchase Rights attached thereto) to a new
registration statement on Form S-8 registering 267,500 shares (including the
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights attached thereto) of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to (i) the Company's 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 1997
International Employee Stock Purchase Plan or (ii) stock-based awards to be
issued under the Company's 1997 Director Option Plan.
