<P align="left"><FONT size="2"><B>Notice Regarding Arthur Andersen LLP</B></FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March
29, 2002 were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. Those financial statements are
incorporated by reference into this registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-8. Arthur
Andersen LLP was replaced by the Company as its auditor in June 2002 and that
company is no longer engaged in the business of public accounting.
Accordingly, the Company, despite reasonable attempts, has been unable to
obtain the consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to the incorporation of its report
into this registration statement. Section&nbsp;11(a) of the Securities Act provides
that if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes effective
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such
registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such
acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among
others, every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or
certified any part of the registration statement or as having prepared or
certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the
registration statement with respect to the statement in such registration
statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or
certified by the accountant. Under these circumstances, Rule&nbsp;437a under the
Securities Act permits the Company to file this registration statement without
a written consent from Arthur Andersen LLP. Therefore, Arthur Andersen LLP
will not be liable to you under Section&nbsp;11(a) of the Securities Act because it
has not consented to being named as an expert in the registration statement.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Notice Regarding Arthur Andersen LLP
The financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March
29, 2002 were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. Those financial statements are
incorporated by reference into this registration statement on Form S-8. Arthur
Andersen LLP was replaced by the Company as its auditor in June 2002 and that
company is no longer engaged in the business of public accounting.
Accordingly, the Company, despite reasonable attempts, has been unable to
obtain the consent of Arthur Andersen LLP to the incorporation of its report
into this registration statement. Section 11(a) of the Securities Act provides
that if any part of a registration statement at the time it becomes effective
contains an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such
registration statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such
acquisition such person knew of such untruth or omission) may sue, among
others, every accountant who has consented to be named as having prepared or
certified any part of the registration statement or as having prepared or
certified any report or valuation which is used in connection with the
registration statement with respect to the statement in such registration
statement, report or valuation which purports to have been prepared or
certified by the accountant. Under these circumstances, Rule 437a under the
Securities Act permits the Company to file this registration statement without
a written consent from Arthur Andersen LLP. Therefore, Arthur Andersen LLP
will not be liable to you under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act because it
has not consented to being named as an expert in the registration statement.
