------------------------
be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or
-5-
investigative, (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a
person of whom he is the legal representative, (i) is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation; (ii) while serving as a director or officer of the
Corporation, also is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in a
director, officer, trustee or similar capacity for any other enterprise; or
(iii) while serving as a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, also
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation in a fiduciary,
administrative, advisory or similar capacity with respect to one or more
employee benefit plans maintained by the Corporation; shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent required, permitted or
not prohibited by Delaware law, including (but not limited to) the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in
the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits
the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law
permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all
awards and expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise
taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement), reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such
indemnification shall continue even if such person has ceased to be a director
or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and
administrators; provided, however, except as provided in subsection 14(b)
-------- -------
hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification
in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 14 shall
be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation
any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law
-------- -------
requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his
capacity as a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an
undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts
so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Section 14 or otherwise. The Corporation
may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification and
advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same
scope and effect as are provided to directors and officers herein.
b) Processing of Claims. A claim made by a person under this Section 14 shall be
--------------------
paid in full within thirty (30) days after such claim has been received in
writing by the Corporation, unless independent legal counsel has determined in a
letter to the Corporation, with a copy to such person, that indemnification of
such person would be prohibited, in whole or in part, under applicable law, or
that a claim for expenses shall not be paid, in whole or in part, on the grounds
that it is unreasonably high (with the amount by which such expenses are
unreasonably high stated therein). Any such determination letter given by
independent legal counsel within thirty (30) days of the filing of a claim shall
be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and on such person. If, within
thirty (30) days after the filing of such claim, the Corporation has not paid
such person the full amount of the claim or such lesser amount as determined by
independent legal counsel, such person shall have the right to commence legal
action for payment in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and in which venue
is proper.
c) Insurance.
---------
(1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c)(2) hereof, the Corporation
hereby agrees to purchase and maintain in effect for the benefit of the
directors and officers one or more valid,
-6-
binding and enforceable policies of liability insurance providing, in all
respects, coverage substantially comparable to or superior to that presently in
force.
(2) The Corporation shall not be required either to obtain or maintain such
policy or policies of insurance in effect if said insurance is not reasonably
available or if, in the reasonable business judgment of the then directors of
the Corporation, either (i) the premium cost for such insurance is substantially
disproportionate to the amount of coverage; or (ii) the coverage provided by
such insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient benefit
from such insurance.
d) Indemnification Agreements. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is
--------------------------
expressly authorized to enter into indemnification agreements, with such persons
as the Board deems appropriate, to effectuate the rights set forth in this
