A Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-76700), registering an aggregate of 14,867,938 shares of Common Stock (adjusted to reflect a 1-for-14 reverse stock split effected on August 5, 2004) issuable pursuant to the Plans, was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 14, 2002 and is incorporated by reference, as hereafter amended, into this Registration Statement.



PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, that are incurred in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, known as a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of these actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification if the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not excluding other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

        The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person, or a person of whom the person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the Company's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of the proceeding is the alleged action of the person in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL against all expense, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by the person in connection therewith. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the Company will pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, subject to the provisions of the DGCL. These rights are not exclusive of any other right that any person may have or acquire under any statute, provision of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of these provisions will in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company under the Company's Certificate of Incorporation in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any repeal or modification. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also specifically authorizes the Company to maintain insurance and to grant similar indemnification rights to its employees or agents.

        The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that none of the Company's directors will be personally liable to the Company or the Company's stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except, to the extent required by the DGCL, for liability:


        Neither the amendment nor repeal of this provision will eliminate or reduce the effect of the provision in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for the provision, would accrue or arise, prior to the amendment or repeal.

        The Company also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance, which insures against certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in those capacities. The Company has also entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers providing for the indemnification described above.

        Philips B.V. and Scott Miller, one of the Company's directors, have entered into an indemnity agreement providing for indemnification of Mr. Miller by Philips B.V. in certain circumstances.
