     We hereby incorporate by reference into this Registration Statement the
following documents or portions thereof as indicated:

(a) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2001;

(b) all other reports filed by us pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the

     Any statement contained in this Registration Statement, or in a document

Item 4. Description of Securities.

         Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that the
liability of the Company's directors and officers or any of its stockholders for
monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and
officers shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. This limitation does not apply with respect to any
action in which a director or officer would be liable under Section 174 of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, nor does it apply with respect to any
liability in which a director or officer:

o breached his duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

o did not act in good faith or, in failing to act, did not act in good faith;

o acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law or, in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or

o derived an improper personal benefit.

Our bylaws provide that we may indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of us by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of us, or is or
was serving at the request of us as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit, or proceeding. The power to indemnify applies only if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest, or
not opposed to the best interest, of us and with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The power to indemnify applies to actions brought by or in the right of us
as well, but only to the extent of defense and settlement expenses and not to
any satisfaction of a judgment or settlement of the claim itself and with the
further limitation that in such actions no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged
to be liable to us unless the court, in its discretion, believes that in light
of all the circumstances indemnification should apply. To the extent that any of
our present or former directors have been successful on the merits or otherwise
in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

[We have purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance covering
its directors and officers in amounts customary for similarly situated
companies.]

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

         Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits

         See Exhibit Index.

Item 9. Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned 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 "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 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 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement;

          (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 with or furnished to
the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.

          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 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.

     (b) The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Act, each filing of the corporation's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

    (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the corporation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the corporation 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 corporation of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation 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 corporation 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.
