ARTICLE V. INDEMNIFICATION Section 501. Indemnification. (1) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed 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 he or she, being at the time a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, for profit or not-for-profit, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (collectively, “Another Enterprise” or “Other Enterprise”), whether in either case the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official capacity as a director, or officer of the Corporation, or as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of such Other Enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the same exist 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), against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The persons indemnified by paragraph (1) of this Section 501 are hereinafter referred to as “Indemnitees.” Such indemnification as to such alleged action or inaction shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has after such alleged action or inaction ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 501: (a) shall be a contract right; (b) shall not be affected adversely as to any Indemnitee by an amendment of these By-laws with respect to any action or inaction occurring prior to such amendment; and (c) 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 and to the extent the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania require, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee 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 By-Laws as of January 28, 2019


 
further right to appeal (hereinafter a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expense under this Section 501 or otherwise; it being understood that the Corporation shall not be entitled to refuse to make any Advancement of Expenses to an Indemnitee required by this Section 501 prior to a Final Adjudication that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 501 or otherwise. (2) If a claim under paragraph (1) of this Section 501 is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after it has been received in writing by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) 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, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right of indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 501(1). In any suit by the Corporation to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses only upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 501(1). Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the 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 because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 501(1), nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to have or retain such Advancement of Expenses, under this Section 501 or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation. (3) The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Section 501 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Articles of Incorporation, these By-Laws, an agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. (4) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Corporation or Another 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 laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (5) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the Advancement of Expenses, to any employee or agent of the Corporation (or any person serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of Another Enterprise) or to a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of any of the Corporation’s affiliates, predecessor or subsidiary corporations or of a constituent corporation absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger or who is or was serving at the request of such affiliate, predecessor or subsidiary corporation or of such constituent corporation as a By-Laws as of January 28, 2019


 
director, officer, employee or agent of Another Enterprise, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 501 in cases of the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation, or to any lesser extent (or greater, if permitted by law) determined by the Board of Directors.

Any person claiming a share certificate to be lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken shall receive a replacement certificate if such person shall have: (a) requested such replacement certificate before the Corporation has notice that the shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (b) provided the Corporation with an indemnity agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Board of Directors, or the Chief Executive Officer or the President or the Secretary; and (c) satisfied any other reasonable requirements (including providing an affidavit and a surety bond) fixed by the Board of Directors, or the Chief Executive Officer or the President or the Secretary.

Section 703. Absentee Participation in Meetings. One (1) or more Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of a Committee of the Board, by means of a conference telephone or similar communication equipment, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.

Section 705. Severability.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT OR REPEAL. Section 801. Amendment or Repeal by the Board of Directors. These By-Laws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by a majority vote of members of the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting of the Board duly governed.
