reason of the fact that such person 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, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid
or owed in settlement actually and reasonably paid or incurred by him or her or
rendered or levied against him or her in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner lie or she
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 or her 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, in itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
or she 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

trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably paid or incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; provided however, that no
indemnification shall be made in respect to 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 circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which
the court shall deem proper.

Directors, indemnify all employees and agents of the Corporation (other than

therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney's
fees, actually and reasonably paid or incurred by him or her in connection
therewith.
(e) Any indemnification under subsections (a), (b), or (c) 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

of conduct set forth in subsection (a) or (b). 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, (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, (iii)
by the stockholders, or (iv) in any case in which applicable law makes court
approval a prerequisite to indemnification, by the court in which such action,
suit or proceeding was brought or another court of competent jurisdiction.

Director in defending a civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the

undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred by other employees and agents shall be so
paid upon terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems
appropriate.

otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office.

predecessor or constituent corporation, or served at the request of such
predecessor or constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the
provisions of this Section 8.02 with respect to the Corporation as such person

liabilities or net profits of the Corporation, or any other facts pertinent to
the existence and amount of surplus or other funds from which dividends might
