settlement amounts incurred by such directors, officers or other persons in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of another enterprise at the request of the
corporation, subject to specified conditions and exclusions, (2)&nbsp;gives such directors, officers or
other persons who are successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding the right to be
indemnified, and (3)&nbsp;authorizes the corporation to purchase and maintain directors&#146; and officers&#146;
liability insurance. The indemnification authorized by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL is not exclusive of
any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, policy of insurance or otherwise.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Tenth of the Registrant&#146;s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes
the Registrant to agree to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, and any
person who serves at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware; provided that the Registrant is not permitted to
indemnify any person from or on account of such person&#146;s conduct which was finally adjudged to have
been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;In accordance with Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article&nbsp;Tenth of the Registrant&#146;s Second
Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating a director&#146;s personal
liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the laws of the state of Delaware.
Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of a director&#146;s liability (1)
for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations
of law, (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful dividend payments or stock
redemptions or repurchases), or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;Section&nbsp;28 of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws dated March&nbsp;9, 2011 (the
&#147;Amended and Restated Bylaws&#148;) requires the Registrant to indemnify any person (1)&nbsp;against all
liabilities and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) or (2)
against any amounts paid in settlement and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in an action by or in the right of the Registrant, in either case, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of
another enterprise at the Registrant&#146;s request; provided that (a)&nbsp;such person must have acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Registrant&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person must have had no reasonable cause to believe such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful, and (b)&nbsp;the
Registrant is not required to indemnify or advance expenses to such person in connection with an
action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the initiation of such action, suit or
proceeding was authorized by the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors. Section&nbsp;28 further provides that
the Registrant shall not indemnify any person for any liabilities or expenses incurred by such
person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the Registrant, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action, suit or
proceeding is brought determines that the person is entitled to such indemnity. If any person
serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of another
enterprise at the Registrant&#146;s request is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above, said Section&nbsp;28 requires that the Registrant
indemnify such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith. Prior to indemnifying a person pursuant to Section&nbsp;28 of the Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant must determine that such person has met the specified
standard of conduct required for indemnification unless ordered by a court and except as otherwise
provided by the immediately preceding sentence. Such determination must be made by (y)&nbsp;a majority
vote of a quorum of the directors who were not party to the action, suit or proceeding (or by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion if so directed by a quorum of disinterested
directors or if such a quorum is not obtainable), or (z)&nbsp;the shareholders. If the determination is
adverse to the person seeking to be indemnified, such person may cause the determination to be made
by a court having jurisdiction over the Registrant. The indemnification provided by Section&nbsp;28 of
the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, the Registrant&#146;s Second Restated
Certificate of Incorporation dated December&nbsp;5, 2003 (as amended May&nbsp;27, 2011), the Registrant&#146;s
Amended and Restated Bylaws, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, policy
of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in other
capacities while holding their respective offices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with the Registrant&#146;s
directors, Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., Dr.&nbsp;Denis A. Cortese, John C. Danforth, Linda M. Dillman,
Clifford W. Illig, William B. Neaves, Ph.D., Neal L. Patterson and William D. Zollars, and which,
among other things, (a)&nbsp;confirm the present indemnity permitted under the DGCL, (b)&nbsp;provide that,
in addition, the directors shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent permitted by
law

paid or incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of
the Registrant, on account of their services as a director of the Registrant or as a director of
any subsidiary of the Registrant or as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other company
or enterprise when they are serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant, and (c)
provide procedures for notification and defense of a claim. However, no indemnity will be provided
to any director on account of conduct that is adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent, deliberately
dishonest or willful misconduct. The indemnification agreements also provide that the Registrant
will advance the expenses of defending an action, lawsuit or other proceeding to the indemnified
director before the matter is disposed of if the indemnitee agrees to repay any such advances to
the Registrant if it is later determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;Section&nbsp;28 of the Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws permits the Registrant to
insure any person against any liability incurred by such person by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of
another enterprise at the Registrant&#146;s request, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person under the provisions described above. The Registrant has obtained
directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance for each of its directors and executive officers which
(subject to certain limits and deductibles) (i)&nbsp;insures such persons against loss arising from
certain claims made against them by reason of such persons being a director or officer, and (ii)
insures the Registrant against loss which it may be required or permitted to pay as indemnification
due such persons for certain claims. Such insurance may provide coverage for certain matters as to
which the Registrant may not be permitted by law to provide indemnification.

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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.

or has rights to acquire an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") (1) gives Delaware
corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and officers and those of
other enterprises, as well as certain other persons, against expenses, judgments, fines and
settlement amounts incurred by such directors, officers or other persons in defense of any action,
suit or proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of being or having been a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or of another enterprise at the request of the
corporation, subject to specified conditions and exclusions, (2) gives such directors, officers or
other persons who are successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding the right to be
indemnified, and (3) authorizes the corporation to purchase and maintain directors' and officers'
liability insurance. The indemnification authorized by Section 145 of the DGCL is not exclusive of
any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, policy of insurance or otherwise.
3
(b) Article Tenth of the Registrant's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes
the Registrant to agree to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, and any
person who serves at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware; provided that the Registrant is not permitted to
indemnify any person from or on account of such person's conduct which was finally adjudged to have
been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct.
(c) In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article Tenth of the Registrant's Second
Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating a director's personal
liability to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the laws of the state of Delaware.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of a director's liability (1)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations
of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful dividend payments or stock
redemptions or repurchases), or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
(d) Section 28 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws dated March 9, 2011 (the
"Amended and Restated Bylaws") requires the Registrant to indemnify any person (1) against all
liabilities and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) or (2)
against any amounts paid in settlement and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in an action by or in the right of the Registrant, in either case, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of
another enterprise at the Registrant's request; provided that (a) such person must have acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
Registrant's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such
person must have had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful, and (b) the
Registrant is not required to indemnify or advance expenses to such person in connection with an
action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the initiation of such action, suit or
proceeding was authorized by the Registrant's Board of Directors. Section 28 further provides that
the Registrant shall not indemnify any person for any liabilities or expenses incurred by such
person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable
to the Registrant, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action, suit or
proceeding is brought determines that the person is entitled to such indemnity. If any person
serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of another
enterprise at the Registrant's request is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to above, said Section 28 requires that the Registrant
indemnify such person against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection therewith. Prior to indemnifying a person pursuant to Section 28 of the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant must determine that such person has met the specified
standard of conduct required for indemnification unless ordered by a court and except as otherwise
provided by the immediately preceding sentence. Such determination must be made by (y) a majority
vote of a quorum of the directors who were not party to the action, suit or proceeding (or by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion if so directed by a quorum of disinterested
directors or if such a quorum is not obtainable), or (z) the shareholders. If the determination is
adverse to the person seeking to be indemnified, such person may cause the determination to be made
by a court having jurisdiction over the Registrant. The indemnification provided by Section 28 of
the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, the Registrant's Second Restated
Certificate of Incorporation dated December 5, 2003 (as amended May 27, 2011), the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Bylaws, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, policy
of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in other
capacities while holding their respective offices.
(e) The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with the Registrant's
directors, Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., Dr. Denis A. Cortese, John C. Danforth, Linda M. Dillman,
Clifford W. Illig, William B. Neaves, Ph.D., Neal L. Patterson and William D. Zollars, and which,
among other things, (a) confirm the present indemnity permitted under the DGCL, (b) provide that,
in addition, the directors shall be indemnified to the fullest possible extent permitted by

against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and settlement amounts,
paid or incurred by them in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of
the Registrant, on account of their services as a director of the Registrant or as a director of
any subsidiary of the Registrant or as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other company
or enterprise when they are serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant, and (c)
provide procedures for notification and defense of a claim. However, no indemnity will be provided
to any director on account of conduct that is adjudged to be knowingly fraudulent, deliberately
dishonest or willful misconduct. The indemnification agreements also provide that the Registrant
will advance the expenses of defending an action, lawsuit or other proceeding to the indemnified
director before the matter is disposed of if the indemnitee agrees to repay any such advances to
the Registrant if it is later determined that he or she was not entitled to indemnification.
(f) Section 28 of the Registrant's Amended and Restated Bylaws permits the Registrant to
insure any person against any liability incurred by such person by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director or officer of the Registrant or as a director or officer of
another enterprise at the Registrant's request, whether or not the Registrant would have the power
to indemnify such person under the provisions described above. The Registrant has obtained
directors' and officers' liability insurance for each of its directors and executive officers which
(subject to certain limits and deductibles) (i) insures such persons against loss arising from
certain claims made against them by reason of such persons being a director or officer, and (ii)
insures the Registrant against loss which it may be required or permitted to pay as indemnification
due such persons for certain claims. Such insurance may provide coverage for certain matters as to
which the Registrant may not be permitted by law to provide indemnification.

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 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 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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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 Registrant, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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.
