allows for a corporation to indemnify directors and officers for all expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts in settlement actually paid and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceedings so long as such party acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, if
such party had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct to be
unlawful. Indemnification may

<P align="left"><FONT size="2"> only be made by Capstone if the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Section&nbsp;145 has been met by the indemnified party upon a determination made
(i)&nbsp;by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who are not
parties to such proceedings, even though less than a quorum, or (ii)&nbsp;by a
committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (iii)&nbsp;if there are no such directors, or if such
directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv)
by the stockholders.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capstone has adopted provisions in its Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the &#147;Certificate&#148;), which require Capstone, to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, to indemnify all directors and
officers of Capstone, and such other persons as may be required by statute or
by Capstone&#146;s bylaws (the &#147;Bylaws&#148;), against any liability and to advance
indemnification expenses on behalf of all directors and officers of Capstone.
The Certificate further requires Capstone to eliminate, to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL, the liability for monetary damages of directors of
Capstone for actions or inactions taken by them as directors. If the DGCL is
later amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the
personal liability of directors, then the Certificate provides that the
liability of a director to Capstone shall be limited or eliminated to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended from time to time.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Certificate also empowers Capstone, to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or
officer, or such other person as may be permitted by statute or the Bylaws,
against any liability which may be asserted against any director, officer or
such other person.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Bylaws require that Capstone indemnify, in the manner and
to the full extent permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any person)
who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of Capstone, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is a
director or officer of Capstone, and at the discretion of the board of
directors may indemnify any person (or the estate of any person) who is such a
party or threatened to be made such a party by reason of the fact that such
person is or was an employee or agent of Capstone or is or was serving at
Capstone&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Capstone
may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against
him and may enter into contracts providing for the indemnification of such
person to the full extent permitted by law. To the full extent permitted by
law, the indemnification provided under the Bylaws shall include expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
and, in the manner provided by law, any such expenses may be paid by Capstone
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The
indemnification provided under the Bylaws shall not be deemed to limit
Capstone&#146;s right to indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the
full extent permitted by law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which any person seeking indemnification from Capstone may be
entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.
</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capstone has entered into indemnity agreements (the &#147;Indemnity
Agreements&#148;) with each Capstone director, including directors who are also
officers and employees of Capstone, and certain senior officers of Capstone.
The Indemnity Agreements provide that Capstone will pay any expenses which an
indemnitee is or becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any
proceeding, including any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit
or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of Capstone or otherwise and
whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which
the indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by
reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a
director or officer of Capstone, by reason of any actual or alleged error or
misstatement or misleading statement made or suffered by the indemnitee, by
reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting
as such director or officer, or by reason of the fact that he was serving at
the request of Capstone as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of
Capstone or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise; provided, that in each such case the indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of Capstone, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, in
addition had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

not limited to, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs,
attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds,
investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification
under the Indemnity Agreement, except Capstone is not liable to make any
payment under the Indemnity Agreements in connection with any claim made
against an indemnitee (a)&nbsp;to the extent that payment is actually made to the
indemnitee under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy, (b)&nbsp;to
the extent that the indemnitee is indemnified and actually paid otherwise than
pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, (c)&nbsp;in connection with a judicial action
by or in the right of Capstone, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which the indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to Capstone unless and only to the
extent that any court in which such action was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper, (d)&nbsp;if it is
proved by final judgment in a court of law or other final adjudication to have
been based upon or attributable to the indemnitee&#146;s in fact having gained any
personal profit or advantage to which he was not legally entitled, (e)&nbsp;for a
disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the indemnitee of
securities pursuant to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
(the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;) and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any state
statutory law or common law, (f)&nbsp;brought about or contributed to by the
dishonesty of the indemnitee seeking payment pursuant to the Indemnity
Agreement; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitee shall be
protected under the Indemnity Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be
brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless a
judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the indemnitee shall
establish that he committed (i)&nbsp;acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii)
with actual dishonest purpose and intent, (iii)&nbsp;which acts were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or (g)&nbsp;for any judgment, fine or penalty which
Capstone is prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity or for any
other reason.

deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may

</FONT>
<P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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

Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or Section&nbsp;15(d) of the
1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement

Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item&nbsp;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.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
including any subsequent amendment or report filed for the purpose
of amending such description.
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant
to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this
Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment

or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part
of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities
The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act,
and, therefore, the description of securities is incorporated by reference
pursuant to Item 3 herein.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") generally
allows for a corporation to indemnify directors and officers for all expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts in settlement actually paid and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceedings so long as such party acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, if
such party had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct to be
unlawful. Indemnification may
II-1
Table of Contents
only be made by Capstone if the applicable standard of conduct set forth
in Section 145 has been met by the indemnified party upon a determination made
(i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of the directors who are not
parties to such proceedings, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a
committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even
though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such
directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv)
by the stockholders.
Capstone has adopted provisions in its Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate"), which require Capstone, to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, to indemnify all directors and
officers of Capstone, and such other persons as may be required by statute or
by Capstone's bylaws (the "Bylaws"), against any liability and to advance
indemnification expenses on behalf of all directors and officers of Capstone.
The Certificate further requires Capstone to eliminate, to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL, the liability for monetary damages of directors of
Capstone for actions or inactions taken by them as directors. If the DGCL is
later amended to authorize corporate action further limiting or eliminating the
personal liability of directors, then the Certificate provides that the
liability of a director to Capstone shall be limited or eliminated to the
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended from time to time.
The Certificate also empowers Capstone, to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director or
officer, or such other person as may be permitted by statute or the Bylaws,
against any liability which may be asserted against any director, officer or
such other person.
In addition, the Bylaws require that Capstone indemnify, in the manner and
to the full extent permitted by law, any person (or the estate of any person)
who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of Capstone, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is a
director or officer of Capstone, and at the discretion of the board of
directors may indemnify any person (or the estate of any person) who is such a
party or threatened to be made such a party by reason of the fact that such
person is or was an employee or agent of Capstone or is or was serving at
Capstone's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Capstone
may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against
him and may enter into contracts providing for the indemnification of such
person to the full extent permitted by law. To the full extent permitted by
law, the indemnification provided under the Bylaws shall include expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
and, in the manner provided by law, any such expenses may be paid by Capstone
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. The
indemnification provided under the Bylaws shall not be deemed to limit
Capstone's right to indemnify any other person for any such expenses to the
full extent permitted by law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which any person seeking indemnification from Capstone may be
entitled under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office.
Capstone has entered into indemnity agreements (the "Indemnity
Agreements") with each Capstone director, including directors who are also
officers and employees of Capstone, and certain senior officers of Capstone.
The Indemnity Agreements provide that Capstone will pay any expenses which an
indemnitee is or becomes legally obligated to pay in connection with any
proceeding, including any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit
or proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of Capstone or otherwise and
whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, in which
the indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise, by
reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a
director or officer of Capstone, by reason of any actual or alleged error or
misstatement or misleading statement made or suffered by the indemnitee, by
reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his part while acting
as such director or officer, or by reason of the fact that he was serving at
the request of Capstone as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of
Capstone or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise; provided, that in each such case the indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of Capstone, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, in
addition had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
II-2
Table of Contents
The payments to be made under the Indemnity Agreements include, but are
not limited to, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs,
attorneys' fees and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bonds,
investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification
under the Indemnity Agreement, except Capstone is not liable to make any
payment under the Indemnity Agreements in connection with any claim made
against an indemnitee (a) to the extent that payment is actually made to the
indemnitee under a valid, enforceable and collectible insurance policy, (b) to
the extent that the indemnitee is indemnified and actually paid otherwise than
pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, (c) in connection with a judicial action
by or in the right of Capstone, in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which the indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to Capstone unless and only to the
extent that any court in which such action was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper, (d) if it is
proved by final judgment in a court of law or other final adjudication to have
been based upon or attributable to the indemnitee's in fact having gained any
personal profit or advantage to which he was not legally entitled, (e) for a
disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the indemnitee of
securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act") and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any state
statutory law or common law, (f) brought about or contributed to by the
dishonesty of the indemnitee seeking payment pursuant to the Indemnity
Agreement; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnitee shall be
protected under the Indemnity Agreement as to any claims upon which suit may be
brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless a
judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the indemnitee shall
establish that he committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii)
with actual dishonest purpose and intent, (iii) which acts were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or (g) for any judgment, fine or penalty which
Capstone is prohibited by applicable law from paying as indemnity or for any
other reason.

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,
(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 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 20 percent change in the
II-3
Table of Contents
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall 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 by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
1934 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
1934 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 or 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.
