                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          SECTION 1. 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 right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee 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), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he 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 action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his 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 he 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 his conduct was unlawful.

                                      -18-

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 he is or was a director,
officer or employee 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 him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he 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 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 of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.

          Section 3. To the extent that a director, officer or employee of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VI, or
in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection therewith.

VI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the
director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met
the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article
VI. Such determination shall be made (a) by the board of directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action,
suit or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal

or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director,
officer or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in
this Article.

          Section 6. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by, or granted pursuant to, the other Sections of this Article shall not be

or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, or vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.

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 any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as

against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when

administrators of such a person.

to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is
issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were
such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

                                LOST CERTIFICATES

          Section 3. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or
certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates

indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the
Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.
