English to Russian Law/Patents Law (general)

The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining whether a director has a
material relationship with the Company. Under these guidelines, a director will not be
considered to have a material relationship with the Company if (1) he or she is “independent” as
determined under NYSE listing standards and (2) he or she:
a. is an executive officer of another company which is indebted to the Company, or
to which the Company is indebted, unless the total amount of either company’s
indebtedness to the other is more than one percent of the total consolidated assets
of the company he or she serves as an executive officer; or
b. serves as an officer, director or trustee of a tax-exempt organization, unless the
Company’s discretionary contributions to such organization are more than the
greater of $1 million or 2% of that organization’s consolidated gross revenues.
(The Company’s automatic matching of employee charitable contributions will
not be included in the amount of the Company’s contributions for this purpose.)
