INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 6.
(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, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint
15
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 a director, officer, employee or agent or
in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent, 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 paid 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, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his
or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except
as provided in Paragraph (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 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
16
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 director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
(b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Paragraph (a)
of this Section is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days
after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, 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. Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the
circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct
set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not
met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action
or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable
standard of conduct.
17
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and
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 acquired under any
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(d) 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 such 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.
ARTICLE VIII
AMENDMENTS
Section 1. These Bylaws may be altered or repealed at any regular meeting

repeal be contained in the notice of such special meeting.
