proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
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 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
PART II
Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
There are hereby incorporated by reference in to this Registration Statement the following
documents and information heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") by the Registrant:
1.
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2005;
2.
The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on
October 5, 2005, October 6, 2005, October 31, 2005, November 22, 2005, November 23,
2005, December 2, 2005, December 13, 2005 and December 15, 2005; and
3.
The description of Registrant's capital stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statements pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act and any amendments
or reports filed for the purpose of updating any such descriptions.
In addition, each document filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or
that deregisters all securities then remaining unsold under this registration statement, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated herein by reference shall
be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed document incorporated herein by reference modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part hereof.
Item 4.     Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") generally permits a Delaware
corporation to indemnify officers, directors, employees or agents of the corporation if they are,
or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its
directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain
settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to
which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal
action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been
unlawful.
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of
incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. DGCL Section 102 provides,
however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or
involving intentional misconduct, or knowing violation of the law, and the
II-1
unlawful purchase or
redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits
cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for
monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Item 7.     Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8.     Exhibits.

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:
II-2
(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;
(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 reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this 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 the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to
any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration
statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and
included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness;
provided, however
, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus
that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior
to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to
this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by
means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering required to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant; (iii)
the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
Registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
Registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offering herein, 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 Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
II-3
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
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 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
