| B. | The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. |
| C. | To the extent that a person indemnified under this By-Law has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs A and B of this Section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. |
| D. | The indemnification under paragraphs A and B of this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be effective upon the Company only when authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs A and B.

| F. | The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any By-Law or resolution approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon taken at a meeting the notice of which specified that such By-Law or resolution would be placed before the Shareholders, both as to action by a director, officer, employee or agent in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. |

| H. | If, under this Section, any expenses or other amounts are paid by way of indemnification, otherwise than by court order or action by the Shareholders, the Company shall, not later than the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such payment, send by first class mail to its Shareholders of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of Directors a statement specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation. |
