Pursuant to a registration statement (the "1991 Plan Registration
Statement") on Form S-8 (File No. 33-95614), on August 9, 1995 the Registrant
registered under the Securities Act, 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company. 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 100,000
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 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.
