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.

 

.02 DERIVATIVE ACTION

 

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 completed action or

suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in the

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 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

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

the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the

manner provided in Paragraph .04 above upon receipt of an undertaking by or on

behalf of the Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent to repay such amount

unless it shall ultimately be by the Corporation is authorized in this Section.

 

.06 NONEXCLUSIVITY.

 

The indemnification provided in this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of

any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any law,

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 as to a person who has

ceased to be a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent and shall inure to

the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

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 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall

stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to

the resulting or surviving Corporation as such person would have with respect to

such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

.02 BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

 

These Bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed by the affirmative vote of a

majority of the entire Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of

Revised, shall govern all meetings of shareholders and Directors where those

If any salary, payment, reimbursement, employee fringe benefit, expense

allowance payment, or other expense incurred by the Corporation for the benefit

of an employee is disallowed in whole or in part as a deductible expense of the

Corporation for Federal Income Tax purposes, the employee shall reimburse the

Corporation, upon notice and demand, to the full extent of the disallowance.

This legally enforceable obligation is in accordance with the provisions of

Revenue Ruling 69-115, 1969-1 C.B. 50, and is for the purpose of entitling such

employee to a business expense deduction for the taxable year in which the

repayment is made to the Corporation. In this manner, the Corporation shall be

protected from having to bear the entire burden of disallowed expense items.
