The following documents of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 28, 2013, filed with the Commission on October 30, 2013 (Commission File No.

(b)
All other reports of the Registrant filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's Annual Report referred to in (a) above; and
(c)
The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 30, 1981 (Commission File No.
000-10030), and any other amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents
subsequently filed by the Company 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 to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; provided, however, that documents or information deemed to have
been furnished and not filed in accordance with Commission rules shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or amended, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.

Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
As
required by Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, Gene D. Levoff, Senior Director, Corporate Law and Assistant Secretary of the Registrant, has issued an opinion of counsel as to the legality of the shares of
the Registrant's Common Stock being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law (the "CGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of
directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers who are parties or are threatened to be made parties to any proceeding (with certain exceptions) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses,
judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding if that person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and
in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful.
2
Section 204 of the CGCL provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation may not
limit the liability of directors (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the
corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit, (iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless
disregard for the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a risk of a serious injury
to the corporation or its shareholders, (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders, (vi) under
Section 310 of the CGCL (concerning transactions between corporations and directors or corporations having interrelated directors) or (vii) under Section 316 of the CGCL (concerning directors' liability for distributions, loans,
and guarantees).
Section 204 further provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation may not limit the liability of
directors for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when the provision became effective or any act or omission as an officer, notwithstanding that the officer is also a director or that his or her actions, if negligent or improper, have
been ratified by the directors. Further, Section 317 has no effect on claims arising under federal or state securities laws and does not affect the availability of injunctions and other equitable remedies available to a corporation's
shareholders for any violation of a director's fiduciary duty to the corporation or its shareholders.
In accordance with
Section 317, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the "Articles") limit the liability of a director to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under
California law. The Articles further authorize the Company to provide indemnification to its agents (including officers and directors), subject to the limitations set forth above. The Articles and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the
"Bylaws") further provide for indemnification of corporate agents to the maximum extent permitted by the CGCL.
Pursuant to
the authority provided in the Articles and Bylaws, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors, indemnifying them against certain potential liabilities that may arise as a result of their
service to the Company, and providing for certain other protection. The Company also maintains insurance policies which insure its officers and directors against certain liabilities.
The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the statutes, the Articles, the Bylaws and the agreements referred to above
and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Exhibits
See the attached Exhibit Index at
page 6, which is incorporated herein by reference.
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:
(i)        To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)        To reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement; and
(iii)        To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and 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 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)        That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 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 this 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 Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the 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, 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.
