  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 &#151; 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&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Filing
  Fee Tables&#148; in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii)&nbsp;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 clauses (1)(i)&nbsp;and (1)(ii)&nbsp;do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
  Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2)&nbsp;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; and
  (3)&nbsp;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>

  incorporated by reference into 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

  and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, 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. </P>

  previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"):
  (a)
  The Registrant's Annual Report on
  Form
  10-K
  for the fiscal year ended July 27, 2024, filed with the Commission on September 5, 2024, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange

  Item 5.
  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
  .
  As of the date of this Registration Statement, attorneys of Fenwick & West LLP beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 56
  shares of the Registrant's common stock.
  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  .
  The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
  "DGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are
  sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
  As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of its
  directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for the following:
  •
  any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
  •
  acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  •
  under Section 174 of the DGCL (regarding unlawful dividends, stock purchases or redemptions); or
  •
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
  II-2
  As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's restated bylaws provide that:
  •
  the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL,
  subject to certain very limited exceptions;
  •
  the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL;
  •
  the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a
  legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain very limited exceptions; and
  •
  the rights conferred in the restated bylaws are not exclusive.
  In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers. These agreements
  provide for the indemnification of directors and executive officers for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the
  Registrant.
  The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and executive officers for securities matters.

  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 the 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 — 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing
  Fee Tables" in the effective Registration Statement; and (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 clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
  Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 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; and
  (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 Section 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 into 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 indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, 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.
