<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp; Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;) (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)&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.

Incorporation authorizes the Registrant to agree to indemnify any of its

corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware; provided that

conduct which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent,

<P><FONT size="2">&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 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)&nbsp;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.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp; Section&nbsp;28 of the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws 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)&nbsp;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. Said 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)
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 stockholders. 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 Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Registrant&#146;s amended and restated bylaws, any agreement,
vote of stockholders 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.

Herman, Jeff C. Goldsmith, Ph.D., Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., William B.
Neaves, Ph.D., Nancy-Ann DeParle and John C. Danforth, 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 against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; 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)&nbsp;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

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)
insures such persons against loss arising from certain claims made against them
by reason of such persons being a director or officer, and (ii)&nbsp;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.

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.

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.
(b)  Article Tenth of the Registrant's 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
II-2
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 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 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. Said 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 stockholders. 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 Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Registrant's amended and restated bylaws, any agreement,
vote of stockholders 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, Clifford W. Illig, Neal L. Patterson, Michael E.
Herman, Jeff C. Goldsmith, Ph.D., Gerald E. Bisbee, Jr., Ph.D., William B.
Neaves, Ph.D., Nancy-Ann DeParle and John C. Danforth, 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 law 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
II-3
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 thereto) 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 by the
Registrant 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.
