Indemnification in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other Than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 4.3, the Corporation 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, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation and is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding 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 Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of 5 itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 4.2. Indemnification in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 4.3, the Corporation 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 Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation and is or was serving at the request of the Corporation 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 Corporation; except that no indemnification under this Section 4.2 shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Section 4.3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (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 director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the sotckholders. To the extent, however, that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 4.1 or 4.2, 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, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case. Section 4.4. Reliance. For purpose of any determination 6 under Section 4.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, if his action was based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or Another Enterprise (as defined below), on information supplied to him by the officers of the Corporation or Another Enterprise in the course of their duties, on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or Another Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or Another Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or Another Enterprise, but the fact that his action was not so based on any of the foregoing shall not result in it being deemed that he did not act in good faith or in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The term "Another Enterprise" as used in this Section 4.4 shall mean any corporation (other than the Corporation), partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as the case may be. Section 4.5. Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 4.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise provided under Sections 4.1 and 4.2. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 4.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Any application for indemnification made to any court pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be made in such manner and form as may be required by the applicable rules of such court or, in the absence thereof, by direction of the court to which such application is made. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application. 7 Section 4.6. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating any threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IV if such an undertaking is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Section 4.7. Non-exclusiveness and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IV shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IV shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 4.1 or 4.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, the provisions of subsection (h) of Section 145 thereof, or otherwise. Section 4.8. Effectiveness. A finding that any provision of this Article IV is invalid or of limited application shall not affect any other provision of this Article IV nor shall a finding that any portion of any provision of this Article IV is invalid or of limited application affect the balance of such provision. Section 4.9. 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, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article IV. Section 4.10. Indemnification Expenditures. The Board of Directors, without approval of the stockholders, shall have the power to borrow money on behalf of the Corporation, including the power to pledge the assets of the Corporation, from time to time to 8 discharge the Corporation's obligations with respect to indemnification, the advancement and reimbursement of expenses, and the purchase and maintenance of insurance referred to in this Article IV. Section 4.11. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article IV, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a director or officer of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article IV. Section 4.12. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IV shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Section 4.13. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IV to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 4.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
