(c) execute an undertaking that it agrees to (i) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Nominator’s communications with the corporation’s shareholders, including, without limitation, the Disclosure and Statement; (ii) to the extent it uses soliciting material other than the corporation’s proxy materials, comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the SEC’s Rule 14a-12.

The Nominator may furnish a statement, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the nominee’s candidacy (the “Statement”) at the time the Disclosure is submitted.

“As an indication of the extent of the compensation problems at many public corporations, President George W. Bush recently said he was ‘floored’ when he sees ‘guys making a billion dollars as a CEO of a company.’ President Bush also stated that he hopes that ‘shareholders should take a good hard look at some of these companies.’

The ‘Wilmer Cutler Report’ exposed many compensation-related problems at the Company including inadequate internal controls, a lack of disclosure regarding financial relationships between the former CEO and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, the improper ‘repricing’ of options and the improper ‘backdating’ of options. For these reasons, CalPERS is sponsoring this proposal that will allow shareowners a meaningful voice in the election of the Board of Directors who set the compensation of the Company’s officers.
