</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;8.75 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act (the &#147;IBCA&#148;) provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than one brought on
behalf of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
settlement payments actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of such corporation and, in criminal actions or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of
actions on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may extend only to expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit and only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, provided
that no such indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation except to the extent that the adjudicating court
otherwise provides. To the extent that a present or former director, officer or employee of the
corporation has been successful in defending any such action, suit or proceeding (even one on
behalf of the corporation) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person is
entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.
Expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending an action,
suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit, or proceeding, provided that the director or officer undertakes to repay such
advances should it ultimately be determined that the officer or director is not entitled to be
indemnified pursuant to Section&nbsp;8.75 of the IBCA.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The By-Laws of the registrant provide that the registrant shall, in the case of persons who
are or were directors or officers of the registrant, and may, as to other persons, indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director,
officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise. This provision is applicable to all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees
and other expenses of litigation), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Expenses incurred by an
officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
registrant in advance of the final disposition of such

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Restated Article&nbsp;R-VIII of the registrant&#146;s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides
that the directors of the registrant shall not be liable to the registrant or to the shareholders

liability (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the registrant or the

by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and a corporation
may maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
against liabilities for which indemnification is not expressly provided by the IBCA. The directors

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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

II-1
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Dana I. Green, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the
Registrant, has opined as to the legality of the securities being offered by this Registration
Statement. As of May 31, 2011, Ms. Green beneficially owned approximately 78,968 shares of Common
Stock (including shares underlying restricted stock units) and held options to acquire 281,419
shares of Common Stock (68,876 of which were exercisable, in-the-money options), representing in
the aggregate less than 0.1% of the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 8.75 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act (the "IBCA") provides that a corporation
may indemnify any person who, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise, is made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than one brought on
behalf of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
settlement payments actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit or
proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of such corporation and, in criminal actions or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of
actions on behalf of the corporation, indemnification may extend only to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit and only if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, provided
that no such indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation except to the extent that the adjudicating court
otherwise provides. To the extent that a present or former director, officer or employee of the
corporation has been successful in defending any such action, suit or proceeding (even one on
behalf of the corporation) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person is
entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner
he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.
Expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending an action,
suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit, or proceeding, provided that the director or officer undertakes to repay such
advances should it ultimately be determined that the officer or director is not entitled to be
indemnified pursuant to Section 8.75 of the IBCA.
The By-Laws of the registrant provide that the registrant shall, in the case of persons who
are or were directors or officers of the registrant, and may, as to other persons, indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at the request of the registrant as a director,
officer, employee, trustee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise. This provision is applicable to all expenses (including attorneys' fees
and other expenses of litigation), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Expenses incurred by an
officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
registrant in advance of the final disposition of such
II-2
action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
Restated Article R-VIII of the registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides
that the directors of the registrant shall not be liable to the registrant or to the shareholders
of the registrant for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, other than
liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant or the
shareholders of the registrant, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 8.65 of the IBCA or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The indemnification provided for by Section 8.75 of the IBCA is not exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any
by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and a corporation
may maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
against liabilities for which indemnification is not expressly provided by the IBCA. The directors
and officers of the registrant are insured under a directors and officers liability insurance
policy maintained by the registrant.
The foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the IBCA and the registrant's
amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws and are qualified in their entirety by
reference thereto.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See the attached Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.
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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(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 the 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or
II-3
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this 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 that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offering herein, 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 Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
