A. INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was
or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or

investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or any
predecessor of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with
such action, suit or proceeding to the fullest extent authorized by Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, provided that the
Corporation shall not be liable for any amounts which may be due to any person
in connection with a settlement of any action, suit or proceeding effected
without its prior written consent or any action, suit or proceeding initiated by
any person seeking indemnification hereunder without its prior written consent.
B. ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. Reasonable expenses (including attorneys'
fees) incurred by a director, officer or employee of the Corporation in
defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding described hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the
Board of Directors only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such
person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the person
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.
C. OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions in
their official capacity and as to actions in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such person.
D. INSURANCE. Upon resolution passed by the Board of Directors, the
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any
such capacity or arising out of
7
his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or this Article IX.
E. MODIFICATION. The duties of the Corporation to indemnify and to
advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent provided in this
Article IX shall be in the nature of a contract between the Corporation and each
such person, and no amendment or repeal of any provision of this Article IX
shall alter, to the detriment of such person, the right of such person to the
advance of expenses or indemnification related to a claim based on an act or
failure to act which took place prior to such amendment or repeal.
F. COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW. Any payments made pursuant to
paragraphs A and B of this Article IX shall be subject to compliance under 12
U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any
provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights conferred upon
stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. No amendment,
addition, alteration, change or repeal of this Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation shall be made unless it is first approved by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and, to the extent required

as provided below) of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally
in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, as well as such
