Statements on Form S-8 (File #333-75813), the audited financial statements for
the Registrant's fiscal year ended August 25, 2000 contained in the Registrant's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2000 filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange

<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnification to directors and
officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company's Bylaws provide
for the mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and
other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation
Law, and the Company has entered into agreements with its officers, directors
and certain key employees implementing such indemnification.</P>

<P>A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement 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.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(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.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(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.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">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 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company,
indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and
directors or otherwise, the Company 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 of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company 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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</P>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The Company hereby incorporates by reference in this
Registration Statement the contents of the Company's earlier Registration
Statements on Form S-8 (File #333-75813), the audited financial statements for
the Registrant's fiscal year ended August 25, 2000 contained in the Registrant's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 25, 2000 filed
pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") on November 13, 2000, and the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended December 1, 2000 filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of
the Exchange Act.
ITEM 4 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Inapplicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Inapplicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation law authorizes a court to award, or a
corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnification to directors and
officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company's Bylaws provide
for the mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and
other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation
Law, and the Company has entered into agreements with its officers, directors
and certain key employees implementing such indemnification.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION

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 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.
(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.
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 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company,
indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and
directors or otherwise, the Company 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 of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company 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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
