|
The
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal,

of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Trustee,
Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
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 such person’s 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, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation,
and with respect to any criminal action proceeding, had reasonable cause
to believe that such person’s conduct was
unlawful.

is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director,
Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including
attorney’s fees) and amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to amounts paid in
settlement, the settlement of the suit or action was in the best interests
of the Corporation; provided, however, that 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 for gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the Corporation
unless and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit
was brought shall determine upon application that, despite circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity
for such expenses as such court shall deem proper. The termination of any
action or suit by judgment or settlement shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation.
|
|
.03
Successful Defense.
|
|
To
the extent that a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or Agent of the

|

indemnification under Paragraphs .01 and .02 above (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, Trustee,
Officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such
person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Paragraphs
.01 and .02 above. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of
Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b)
is such a quorum is not obtainable, by a majority vote of the Directors
who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (c) by
independent legal counsel (selected by one or more of the Directors,
whether or not a quorum and whether or not disinterested) in a written
opinion, or (d) by the Shareholders. Anyone making such a determination
under this Paragraph .04 may determine that a person has met the standards
therein set forth as to some claims, issues or matters but not as to
others, and may reasonably prorate amounts to be paid as
indemnification.
|
.05
Advances.
|
|
Expenses
incurred in defending civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall
be paid by the Corporation, at any time or from time to time in advance of

bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or
otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue

corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against any liability assessed against such person in any such capacity or
arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such
liability.
|
|
.08
“Corporation” Defined.
|
|
For
purposes of this Section, references to the “Corporation” shall include,
in addition to the Corporation, an constituent corporation (including any
constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,
if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and
authority to indemnify its Directors, Trustees, Officers, employees or
agents, so that any person who is or was a Director, Trustee, Officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation or of any entity a
majority of the voting stock of which is owned by such constituent
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the
