RESOLVED, that Paragraph 42 of the Bylaws of Daedalus Enterprises, Inc.
be, and the same hereby is, amended in its entirety to read as follows:
"42. (a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a
party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person
of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer
of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a
director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation
to the fullest extent authorized by 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 expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such
person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that
except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof with respect to proceedings seeking
to enforce rights to indemnification, 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 shall be a contract right and shall
include the right to be paid by the Corporation the 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 or her capacity as a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) 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
9
FORM 10-Q
shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled
to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
(b) Right of Director or Officer Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim
under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation
within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation, except in a case of a claim for expenses incurred in defending a
proceeding in advance of its final disposition, in which case the applicable
period shall be twenty (20) days, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring
suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if
successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also
the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action
(other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required
undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the
claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under
the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the
claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be
on the Corporation. A determination that the claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct, when made: (1) by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such
action, suit, or proceeding; or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even
if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion; or (3) by the stockholders, shall serve as
evidence in support of a contention by the Corporation that the claimant has not
met that standard of conduct.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
(d) 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 be paid by the Corporation
the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent
of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and
advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
(e) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense,
to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law."
