ARTICLE VII

The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as the Section may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director or officer of the Corporation (and any director, trustee or officer of any corporation, business trust or other entity to whose business the Corporation shall have succeeded) which it shall have power to indemnify under that Section against any expenses, liabilities or other matter referred to in or covered by that Section. The indemnification provided for in this Article VII, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those


indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (a) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and (b) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person. To assure indemnification under this Article of all such persons who are determined by the corporation or otherwise to have been “Fiduciaries” of any employee benefit plan of the Corporation that may exist from time to time and that is governed by the Act of Congress entitled “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,” as amended from time to time, such Section 145 shall, for the purposes of this Article, be interpreted as follows: an “other enterprise” shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan; the Corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan with the performance by such person of his duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed “fines;” and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

A director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is hereafter amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
