Section 5. No Effect on Fiduciary Obligations of Interested Shareholders. Nothing contained in this Article FIFTEENTH shall be construed to relieve the Board of Directors or any Interested Shareholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.

Section 6. Amendment, Repeal, etc. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by this Certificate of Incorporation, by law or otherwise), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of the corporation’s voting stock, voting together as a single class, and the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of voting stock held by shareholders other than an Interested Shareholder shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions inconsistent with, this Article FIFTEENTH of this Certificate of Incorporation.

SIXTEENTH: Action shall be taken by shareholders of the corporation only at a duly called annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation and shareholders may not act by written consent.

SEVENTEENTH: Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty by

 

- 27 -


such director as a director, provided that this Article SEVENTEENTH shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions of such director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit, in respect of which such breach of fiduciary duty occurred; nor shall this Article SEVENTEENTH eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date this Article SEVENTEENTH becomes effective. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article SEVENTEENTH 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 Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended from time to time.

EIGHTEENTH:

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, (1) is or was a director or

 

- 28 -


officer of the Corporation or (2) is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists 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 said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the

 

- 29 -


Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article EIGHTEENTH shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his capacity as such (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service with respect to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article EIGHTEENTH or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

(b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Article EIGHTEENTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense

 

- 30 -


of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article EIGHTEENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right

 

- 31 -


which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

(d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against any such 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 Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

- 32 -


(e) Funding. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, from time to time, establish arrangements for the funding of the Corporation’s obligations under this Article EIGHTEENTH, including, without limitation, revocable or irrevocable letters of credit and trusts.
