        (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
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 Registrant's Bylaws provide that:
(i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers and
persons serving in such capacities at the Registrant's request in other business
enterprises (including, for example, subsidiaries of the Registrant), to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary; (ii) the Registrant may, in
its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where
indemnification is not required by law; (iii) the Registrant is required to
advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with
defending a proceeding (except that it is not required to advance expenses to a
person against whom the Registrant brings a claim for breach of the duty of
loyalty, for an act or omission not in good faith, intentional misconduct, a
knowing violation of law or deriving an improper personal benefit from a
transaction); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive and the
Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and employees; and (v) the Registrant may not retroactively
amend the Bylaw provisions in a way that is adverse to such directors, officers
and employees.

        The Registrant's policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity
allowed to directors and executive officers by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and the Bylaws, as well as certain additional procedural
protections. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that directors and
executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest possible extent not
prohibited by law against all expenses (including attorney's fees) and
settlement amounts paid or incurred by them in any action or proceeding, by
reason of their services as directors or executive officers of the Registrant or
as directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are
serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The 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 the Board of Directors or brought to enforce a right
of indemnification under the indemnity agreements, the Registrant's Bylaws or
any statute or law. Under the agreements, the Registrant is not obligated to
indemnify the indemnified party: (i) for any expenses incurred by the
indemnified party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the indemnified
party to enforce or interpret the agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
indemnified party in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was
frivolous; (ii) for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the
Registrant consents to such settlement; (iii) with respect to any proceeding or
claim brought by the Registrant against the indemnified party for willful
misconduct, unless a court determines that each of such claims was not made in
good faith or was frivolous; (iv) on account of any suit in which judgment is
rendered against the indemnified party for an accounting of profits made from
the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of securities of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and related
laws; (v) on account of the indemnified party's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to
constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (vi) on account
of any conduct from which the indemnified party derived an improper personal
benefit; (vii) on account of conduct the indemnified party believed to be
contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or its stockholders; (viii) on
account of conduct that constituted a breach of the indemnified party's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; or (ix) if a final decision by a
court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
indemnification is not lawful.

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



                                       2

        The indemnity agreements require the Registrant to maintain director and
officer liability insurance to the extent readily available. The Registration
currently carries a director and officer liability insurance policy.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

        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 the Registration Statement (or the most
                  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                  or in the



                                       3
<PAGE>   5

                  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 a 20%
                  change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
                  the "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
                  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration
                  Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 pursuant to Section
                  13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
                  by reference in the 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.

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 hereby, 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.

        The Registrant incorporates into this Registration Statement the
following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"):

        (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
             13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
             (the "Exchange Act"), or the latest prospectus filed by the
             Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
             1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), that contains audited
             financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year for
             which such statements have been filed.

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

        All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections

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

        The consolidated financial statements and schedule of Registrant
appearing in Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2000, have been

        The statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows of Rock

KPMG LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon that is
included in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2000. The

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

        As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
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 Registrant's Bylaws provide that:
(i) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers and
persons serving in such capacities at the Registrant's request in other business
enterprises (including, for example, subsidiaries of the Registrant), to the
fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including those circumstances in which
indemnification would otherwise be discretionary; (ii) the Registrant may, in
its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where
indemnification is not required by law; (iii) the Registrant is required to
advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with
defending a proceeding (except that it is not required to advance expenses to a
person against whom the Registrant brings a claim for breach of the duty of
loyalty, for an act or omission not in good faith, intentional misconduct, a
knowing violation of law or deriving an improper personal benefit from a
transaction); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are not exclusive and the
Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its
directors, officers and employees; and (v) the Registrant may not retroactively
amend the Bylaw provisions in a way that is adverse to such directors, officers
and employees.

        The Registrant's policy is to enter into indemnity agreements with each
of its directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity
allowed to directors and executive officers by Section 145 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and the Bylaws, as well as certain additional procedural
protections. In addition, the indemnity agreements provide that directors and
executive officers will be indemnified to the fullest possible extent not
prohibited by law against all expenses (including attorney's fees) and
settlement amounts paid or incurred by them in any action or proceeding, by
reason of their services as directors or executive officers of the Registrant or
as directors or officers of any other company or enterprise when they are
serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The 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 the Board of Directors or brought to enforce a right
of indemnification under the indemnity agreements, the Registrant's Bylaws or
any statute or law. Under the agreements, the Registrant is not obligated to
indemnify the indemnified party: (i) for any expenses incurred by the
indemnified party with respect to any proceeding instituted by the indemnified
party to enforce or interpret the agreement, if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the
indemnified party in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was
frivolous; (ii) for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding unless the
Registrant consents to such settlement; (iii) with respect to any proceeding or
claim brought by the Registrant against the indemnified party for willful
misconduct, unless a court determines that each of such claims was not made in
good faith or was frivolous; (iv) on account of any suit in which judgment is
rendered against the indemnified party for an accounting of profits made from
the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of securities of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and related
laws; (v) on account of the indemnified party's conduct which is finally
adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, or to
constitute willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (vi) on account
of any conduct from which the indemnified party derived an improper personal
benefit; (vii) on account of conduct the indemnified party believed to be
contrary to the best interests of the Registrant or its stockholders; (viii) on
account of conduct that constituted a breach of the indemnified party's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; or (ix) if a final decision by a
court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
indemnification is not lawful.

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

                                       2

        The indemnity agreements require the Registrant to maintain director and
officer liability insurance to the extent readily available. The Registration
currently carries a director and officer liability insurance policy.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS

        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 the Registration Statement (or the most
                  recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
                  or in the

                                       3
5

                  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 a 20%
                  change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
                  the "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
                  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration
                  Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 or Form F-3, and 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 pursuant to Section
                  13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
                  by reference in the 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.

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 hereby, 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.

Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Mountain View, State of California, on December 11,
