(a)  The
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2002;
(b)  The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended May 4, 2002, August 3, 2002 and November 2, 2002;

Item
5.     Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
None.
Item
6.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (the
"GCL"), indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. The Company's Bylaws, as amended, contain a similar provision requiring indemnification of the Company's directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized by the GCL. The GCL permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers (among others) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought (or threatened to be brought) by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good
2
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action (i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation), indemnification may be made for expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if they had acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses. The GCL further provides that, to the extent any director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this paragraph, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. In addition, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision
limiting the personal liability of the Company's directors for monetary damages for certain breaches of their fiduciary duty. The Company has indemnification insurance under which directors and officers are insured against certain liability
that may occur in their capacity as such.
The
Company has entered into an employment agreement with Robert N. Wildrick dated as of November 1, 1999 (as amended, the "Employment Agreement"). Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify Robert N.
Wildrick from and against any expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by him by reason of his being made a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, by reason of any act or omission to act during or before the term of the Employment Agreement or otherwise by reason of the fact that Robert N. Wildrick is or was a director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL.
Item 8.    Exhibits.
4.1
Form of Common Stock certificate, previously filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (No. 0-23874) under the
Exchange Act, declared effective May 3, 1994, and incorporated herein by reference.
5.1
Opinion of counsel as to legality of the shares of common stock covered by this Registration Statement.
23.2
Consent of counsel (included within Exhibit 5.1)
Item 9.    Undertakings.
A.    Post-Effective Amendments
3
The 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;
(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 subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above will not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC 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.    Subsequent Documents Incorporated by Reference
The 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.    Claims
for Indemnification
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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the SEC 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.
Additional Information Regarding Arthur Andersen LLP.
The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2,
2002, as amended, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Arthur Andersen LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting in giving such reports. The Company has not been able to
obtain, after reasonable efforts, the written consent of Arthur Andersen to the inclusion of its report in this prospectus, and the Company has not filed that consent in reliance of Rule 437a promulgated under the Securities Act.
4
Because Arthur
Andersen has not consented to the inclusion of its report in this prospectus, a person's ability to assert claims against Arthur Andersen may be limited. In particular, because of this lack of consent, one will not be able to sue Arthur
Andersen under Section 11(a)(4) of the Securities Act for untrue statements of a material fact, if any, contained in the financial statements audited by Arthur Andersen or omissions to state a material fact, if any, required to be in those financial
statements.
