ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.
Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a
party to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness)
in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer of the corporation or that,
being or having been such a Director or officer or employee of the corporation,
he or she 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
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), 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 full extent permitted 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 permitted prior thereto) or by other applicable law
as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, finds, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid
in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee
in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an
indemnitee 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 Section 2 with respect to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall
indemnify any such indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee 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 (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that
if the Delaware General Corporations Law requires, an advancement of expenses
incurred by an indemnitee 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 indemnitee
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be
made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an
"undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so
advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from
which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 1 or otherwise.
SECTION 2. RIGHT OF INDEMNITEE TO BRING SUIT.
If a claim under Section 1 is not paid in full by the corporation
within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation,
except in the case of a claim for advancement of expenses, in which case the
applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time
thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, the indemnitee
shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such suit. The
indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this
Article
upon submission of a written claim (and, in an action brought to enforce a claim
for advancement of expenses, where the required undertaking, if any is required,
has been tendered to the corporation), and thereafter the corporation shall have
the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that the indemnitee is not so
entitled. 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 suit that indemnification of the
indemnitee is proper in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the
corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a
defense to the suit or create a presumption that the indemnitee is not so
entitled.
SECTION 3. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.
The right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
conferred in this Article 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. Notwithstanding any amendment to or repeal
of this Article, any indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in
accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof with respect to any acts or
omissions of such indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
SECTION 4. INSURANCE, CONTRACTS AND FUNDING.
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. The corporation may without further
stockholder approval, enter into contracts with any indemnitee in furtherance of
the provisions of this Article and may create a trust fund, grant a security
interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit)
to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect
indemnification as provided in this Article.
SECTION 5. PERSONS SERVING OTHER ENTITIES.
Any person who is or was a Director, officer or employee of the
corporation who is or was serving as a Director or officer of another
corporation of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the corporation shall be deemed to be so serving at
the request of the corporation and entitled to indemnification and advancement
of expenses under Section 1.
SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF THE CORPORATION.
The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, grant rights
to indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee or agent, or any
group or groups of employees or agents, of the corporation with the same scope
and effect as the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification
and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.
ARTICLE IX
CHECKS, DRAFTS, BANK ACCOUNTS, ETC.
SECTION 1. CHECKS, DRAFTS, ETC.; LOANS.
All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be
signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation and in
such manner as shall, from time to time, be determined by resolution of the
Board of Directors. Such authority may be general or confined to specific
circumstances.
SECTION 2. DEPOSITS.
All funds of the corporation shall be deposited, from time to time, to
the credit of the corporation in such banks, trust companies or other
depositories as the Board of Directors may select, or as may be selected by any
officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation to whom such power may,
from time to time, be delegated by the Board of Directors; and for the purpose
of such deposit, any officer or agent to whom such power may be delegated by the
Board of Directors, may endorse, assign and deliver checks, drafts and other
orders for the payment of money which are payable to the order of the
corporation.
ARTICLE X
AMENDMENTS
These Bylaws may be altered or repealed and new Bylaws may be made by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, subject to the
right of the stockholders to amend or repeal Bylaws made or amended by the Board
of Directors or to adopt new Bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon and the
holders of three-fourths of the stock present in person or represented by proxy
at the meeting, provided that notice of the proposed action be included in the
notice of such meeting.
Terms of the masculine gender used for convenience in these Bylaws
should be understood in the feminine gender where appropriate.
