Section 2.Mandatory Indemnification. Every officer or director, to the extent that he has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, because he is or was an officer or director, of this corporation, shall be indemnified by the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection therewith.
Section 3.Determination and Authorization of Indemnification. Except as provided in Section 2 above, any indemnification under Section 1 above shall not be made unless a determination has been made in the specific case that indemnification of the officer or director is permissible under the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 above. The determination shall be made: (a) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (b) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, then by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (c) by independent legal counsel (i) selected by

the board of directors or its committee in the manner prescribed above or (ii) if a quorum of the board of directors cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be designated, then selected by majority vote of the full board of directors (in which selection directors who are parties may participate); or (d) by the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding.
