Section 1. Full Extent of the Law. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify any person (or the legal representative of such person) who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was, at the request of the Corporation and while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, for and against any loss, claim or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person relating to or arising out of any act or omission performed or omitted by such person on behalf of the Corporation or the other entity.

Section 2. Third Party Claims. 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, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in

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 the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

Section 3. Derivative Claims. 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 its favor by reason of the fact that the person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, 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 expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation; except 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 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 the adjudication of liability, but in the view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Section 4. Expenses. Expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, incurred in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, legal representative or agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized herein.

Section 5. Proceedings Initiated by the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify or make advances to a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

Section 6. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase (upon resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors) and maintain insurance on behalf of any person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, 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,

5

employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability.

Section 7. Reimbursement. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of, or any other person entitled to indemnity hereunder by, the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to herein or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith.

Section 8. Enforcement. Every such person shall be entitled, without demand by the person upon the Corporation or any action by the Corporation, to enforce the person’s right to such indemnity in an action at law against the Corporation. The right of indemnification and advancement of expenses hereinabove provided shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which any such person may now or hereafter be otherwise entitled and specifically, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights pursuant to statute or otherwise, of any such person in any such action, suit or proceeding to have assessed or allowed in his favor against the Corporation or otherwise, the person’s costs and expenses incurred therein or in connection therewith or any part hereof.

ARTICLE VIII
