     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange 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 incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.

ITEM 5. NAMED EXPERTS; INTERESTS OF NAMED COUNSEL

     Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, have audited the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements and schedule appearing in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2002, as set forth in their report, which is incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference. The Registrant is incorporating such consolidated financial statements and schedule into this Registration Statement by reference in reliance on Ernst & Young LLP’s report, given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

     The validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Registration Statement will be passed upon for the Registrant by Virginia R.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their duty of care. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Bylaws of Registrant provide that:

     Registrant’s policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each of its and its subsidiaries’ directors and officers. The agreements provide that Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Bylaws. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that Registrant will advance expenses (including attorney’s fees) and settlement amounts paid or incurred by the directors and officers in any action or proceeding, including any derivative action by or in the right of Registrant, on account of their services as directors or officers of Registrant or as directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are serving in such capacities at the request of Registrant. Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to proceedings or claims initiated by the indemnified party and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings specifically authorized by Registrant’s Board of Directors or brought to enforce a right to indemnification under the Indemnity Agreement, Registrant’s Bylaws or any statute or law. Under the agreements, Registrant is not obligated to indemnify the indemnified party:

     The indemnification provision in the Bylaws, and the indemnity agreements entered into between Registrant and its directors and officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

     The indemnity agreements with Registrant’s officers and directors require Registrant to maintain director and officer liability insurance to the extent reasonably available. Registrant currently maintains a director and officer liability insurance policy.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, 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 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 by this Registration Statement, 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
