Subject to all of the other provisions of Article XI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorney fees), judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by

him or her in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, or (iii) received a financial benefit to which he or she is not entitled, intentionally inflicted harm on the corporation or its shareholders, violated Section 551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act or intentionally committed a criminal act. [Section 561]

11.02. Derivative Actions. Subject to all of the provisions of Article XI, the corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorney fees) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or suit, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders. However, indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue, or matter in which the person has been found liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought has determined on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the reasonable expenses incurred. The termination of any action or suit by settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, or (ii) received a financial benefit to which he or she is not entitled, intentionally inflicted harm on the corporation or its shareholders, violated Section 551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act or intentionally committed a criminal act. [Section 562]

11.03. Expenses of Successful Defense. To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 11.01 or 11.02, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding, the corporation shall indemnify such person against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding and any action, suit, or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided by this Section 11.03. [Section 563]

11.04. Definition. For the purposes of Sections 11.01 and 11.02, “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation that imposes

duties on, or involves services by, the director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or its beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be considered to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders” as referred to in Sections 11.01 and 11.02. [Section 571]

11.05. Contract Right; Limitation on Indemnity. The right to indemnification conferred in Article XI shall be a contract right and shall apply to services of a director or officer as an employee or agent of the corporation as well as in the person’s capacity as a director or officer. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article XI, the corporation shall have no obligations under this Article XI to indemnify any person in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by the person without authorization by the Board of Directors.

11.06. Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Any indemnification under Sections 11.01 or 11.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 11.01 or 11.02, whichever is applicable, and upon an evaluation of the reasonableness of expense and amounts paid in settlement. The determination and evaluation shall be made in any of the following ways:

(a) By a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding;

(b) If the quorum described in clause (a) above is not obtainable, then by majority vote of a committee of directors duly designated by the Board of Directors and consisting solely of two or more directors who are not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding;

(c) By independent legal counsel in a written opinion, which counsel shall be selected in one of the following ways: (i) by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in subparagraph (a) or (b); or (ii) if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under subparagraph (a) and a committee cannot be designated under subparagraph (b), by the Board of Directors; or

(d) By the shareholders, but shares held by directors, officers, employees, or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding may not be voted.

(e) By all independent directors (as defined by Section 107(3) of the Michigan Business Corporation Act) who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding.

If the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation include a provision eliminating or limiting the liability of a director pursuant to Section 209 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, the corporation shall indemnify a director for the expenses and liabilities described below in

this paragraph without a determination that the director has met the standard of conduct set forth in the Michigan Business Corporation Act, but no indemnification may be made except to the extent authorized in Section 564c of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, if the director received a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, intentionally inflicted harm on the corporation or its shareholders, violated Section 551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, or intentionally violated criminal law. In connection with an action or suitby-op in the right of the corporation, as described in Section 11,02, indemnification may be for expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred. In connection with an action, suit or proceeding other than one by or in the right of the corporation, as described in Section 11.01, indemnification may be for expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred, and for judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred. [Section 564a]

11.07. Authorization of Payment. Authorization of payments under Sections 11.01 and 11.02 shall be made in any of the following ways:

(a) by the Board of Directors:

(i) if there are two or more directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by a majority vote of all such directors (a majority of whom shall for this purpose constitute a quorum) or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

(ii) if the corporation has one or more independent directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by a majority vote of all such directors who are not parties or threatened to made parties (a majority of whom shall for this purpose constitute a quorum); or

(iii) if there are no independent directors and fewer than two directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by the vote necessary for action by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3,07, in which authorization all directors may participate; or

(b) by the shareholders, but shares held by directors, officers, employees, or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding may not be voted on the authorization.

11.08. Proportionate Indemnity. If a person is entitled to indemnification under Sections 11.01 or 11.02 for a portion of expenses, including attorney fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, but not for the total amount, the corporation shall indemnify the person for the portion of the expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, or amounts paid in settlement for which the person is entitled to be indemnified.

11.09. Expense Advance. The corporation shall pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person referred to in Sections 11.01 or 11.02 who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit, or proceeding in advance of final disposition of the

proceeding if the person furnishes the corporation a written undertaking executed personally, or on his or her behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct, if any, required by the Michigan Business Corporation Act for the indemnification of the person under the circumstances. An evaluation of the reasonableness under this Section 11.09 shall be made as specified in Section 11.06, and authorizations shall be made in the manner specified in Section 11.07, unless the advance is mandatory. A provision in the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution by the Board of Directors or the shareholders, or an agreement making indemnification mandatory shall also make advancement of expenses mandatory unless the provision specifically provides otherwise. [Section 564b]

11.10. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The indemnification or advancement of expenses provided under this Article XI is not exclusive of other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under a contractual arrangement with the corporation. However, the total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources combined shall not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses. [Section 565]

11.11. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article XI with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation. [Section 561]

11.12. Former Directors and Officers. The indemnification provided in this Article XI continues for a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of the person. [Section 565]

11.13. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify the person against the liability under these bylaws or applicable law. If the Articles of Incorporation of this corporation include a provision eliminating or limiting the liability of a director pursuant to Section 209(l)(c) of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, such insurance may be purchased from an insurer owned by the corporation, but such insurance may insure against monetary liability to the corporation or its shareholders only to the extent to which the corporation could indemnify the director under Section 11.06(b). [Section 567]

11.14. Changes in Michigan Law. If there is any change of the Michigan statutory provisions applicable to the corporation relating to the subject matter of this Article XI, then the indemnification to which any person shall be entitled under this Article XI shall be determined by the changed provisions, but only to the extent that the change permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than the provisions permitted the corporation to provide before the change. Subject to Section 11.15, the Board of Directors is authorized to amend these Bylaws to conform to any such changed statutory provisions.

11.15. Amendment or Repeal of Article XI. No amendment or repeal of this Article XI shall apply to or have any effect on any director or officer of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of the director or officer occurring before the amendment or repeal.

11.16. Enforcement Of Rights. Any determination with respect to indemnification or payment in advance of final disposition under this Article XI shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days, after written request to the corporation by the person seeking such indemnification or payment. If it is determined that such indemnification or payment is proper and if such indemnification or payment is authorized (to the extent such authorization is required) in accordance with this Article XI, then such indemnification or payment in advance of final disposition under this Article XI shall be made promptly, and in any event within 30 days after such determination has been made, such authorization that may be required has been given and any conditions precedent to such indemnification or payment set forth in this Article XI, the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law have been satisfied. The rights granted by this Article XI shall be enforceable by such person in any court of competent jurisdiction.

ARTICLE XII — AMENDMENTS

12.01. Amendments. The power to amend or repeal these Bylaws or to adopt new Bylaws is reserved exclusively to the shareholders of the corporation acting at any meeting duly held in accordance with these Bylaws, provided that notice of the meeting includes notice of the proposed amendment, alteration, or repeal. [Section 231] Such amendments are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors. Further, any such amendments or repeal shall be undertaken only in compliance with the voting requirements set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, wherein the “Founding Shareholders” (as that term is defined in the Shareholder Agreement) must be in favor of such amendments or repeal in order for the amendment or repeal to be effective.
