it is to be held, shall be served either personally or by mail, not less
than ten or more than sixty days before the meeting, upon each stockholder of
record entitled to vote at such meeting, and to any other stockholder to whom
the giving of notice may be required by law. Notice of a special meeting shall
also state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and shall
indicate that it is being issued by, or at the direction of, the person or
persons calling the meeting. If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken
that would, if taken, entitle stockholders to receive payment for their shares
pursuant to statute, the notice of such meeting shall include a statement of
that purpose and to that effect. If mailed, such notice shall be directed to
each such stockholder at his address, as it appears on the records of the

proxy of stockholders holding of record a majority of the total number of
shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote,

exhibited to the Secretary at the meeting and shall be filed with the records
of the Corporation.
(d) Any resolution in writing, signed by all of the stockholders entitled
to vote thereon, shall be and constitute action by such stockholders to the
effect therein expressed, with the same force and effect as if the same had
been duly passed by unanimous vote at a duly called meeting of stockholders and
such resolution so signed shall be inserted in the Minute Book of the
Corporation under its proper date.
Section 7 - Adjournment.
At any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, if less than a quorum
be present, a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in
person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to
time without notice other than announcement at the meeting until a quorum shall

or of the Board of Directors, or to change any provisions of the by-laws with

ARTICLE X -- INDEMNITY
Section 1 -- Indemnification.
The Corporation hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify any of
its officers, directors, employees or agents from and against, and to reimburse
such persons for, any and all judgments, fines, liabilities, amounts paid in
settlement and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred directly or
indirectly as a result of or in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, whether or not such action, suit or proceeding is by or in
the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, including an
action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of any other corporation of any
type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which such person served in any
capacity at the request of the Corporation, to which such person is, was or at
-12-
16
any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, or as a result of
or in connection with any appeal therein, by reason of the fact that such person
is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or is or was serving or at any time serves such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in
any capacity, whether arising out of any breach of such person's fiduciary duty
as a director, officer, employee or agent of such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
under any state or federal law or otherwise; provided, however, that (i)
indemnification shall be paid pursuant to this Article X if and only if such
person 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; and (ii) no indemnification shall be payable pursuant to this
Article X if a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such
indemnification is not lawful. 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 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. No indemnification 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 2 - Continuation of Indemnity.
All agreements and obligations of the Corporation contained herein shall
continue during the period such person shall serve as a director, officer;
employee or agent of the Corporation and shall continue thereafter so long as
such person shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person was a director or officer
of the Corporation or served at the request of the Corporation in any capacity
for any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise.
-13-
17
Section 3 - Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.
Expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent in defending
any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the final disposition thereof, other than those expenses for which such director
or officer is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the proviso to, or the
last sentence of, Section 1 of this Article X. The Corporation shall make such
payments upon receipt of (i) a written request made by such person for payment
of such expenses, (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized herein and (iii) evidence
satisfactory to the Corporation as to the amount of such expenses.
Section 4 - Authorization.
Any indemnification under this Article X (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, officer, employee or agent
is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article X. Such determination shall be
made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) 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 (iii) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
Section 5 - Notification and Defense of Claim.
Promptly after receipt by a person seeking indemnification pursuant to
this Article X of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding,
such person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
Corporation under this Article X, notify the Corporation of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the Corporation will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to such person otherwise than under this
Article X. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which such
person notifies the Corporation of the commencement thereof:
A. The Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense; and
B. Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, the
Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will
be entitled to assume
-14-

the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to the person to be indemnified.
After notice from the Corporation to the person to be indemnified of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the Corporation will not be liable
to such person under this Article X for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such person in connection with the defense thereof
other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.
The person to be indemnified shall have the right to employ his or her own
counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such
counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the
defense thereof shall be at the expense of such person unless (i) the
employment of counsel by such person has been authorized by the Corporation in
connection with the defense of such action, (ii) such person shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of the defense of such
action, or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to
assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses
of counsel for such person shall be borne by the Corporation (it being
understood, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable for the expenses
of more than one counsel for such person in connection with any action or
separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances). The Corporation shall not be
entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or
on behalf of the Corporation or as to which such person shall have made the
conclusion provided for in (ii) above.
C. Anything in this Section 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any person seeking indemnification
under this Article X for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any
action or claim in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on
the person to be indemnified without such person's written consent. Neither the
Corporation nor any such person will unreasonably withhold their consent to any
proposed settlement.
SECTION 6 - NONEXCLUSIVITY.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted
pursuant to this Article X shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Corporation's By-Laws, as now in
effect or as hereafter amended, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or
directors, any applicable law, or otherwise.

SECTION 7 - INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHER EXPENSES.
In the event any person seeking indemnification hereunder is required to
bring any action to enforce rights or to collect monies due under this Article X
and is successful in such action, the Corporation shall reimburse such person
for all costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by such person
in connection with such action.
SECTION 8 - LENGTH OF EFFECTIVENESS.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted
pursuant to this By-Law shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
