6

or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:

(i)

The material facts as to the relationship or interest of such person and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee thereof, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of the interested director or directors of the corporation; provided, however, that common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or committee; or

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 interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

        2.    INDEMNIFICATION IN AN ACTION BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.    The corporation shall indemnify each 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 such person 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,

7

including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such 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 interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of (i) 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 of the State of Delaware 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 such Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper, or (ii) any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

        3.    INDEMNIFICATION AS OF RIGHT.    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 and 2 of this Article X, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

        4.    DETERMINATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.    Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article X (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 the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders.

        5.    ADVANCE FOR EXPENSES.    Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any 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 or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article X, except that no advancement of expenses shall be made in respect of any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

        6.    GENERAL PROVISIONS.

(a)

All expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding which are advanced by the corporation under Section 5 of this Article X shall be repaid (i) in case the person receiving such advance is ultimately found, under the procedure set forth in this Article X, not to be entitled to indemnification, or (ii) where indemnification is granted, to the extent that the expenses so advanced by the corporation exceed the indemnification to which such person is entitled.



(b)

The corporation may indemnify each person, though he or she is not or was not a director, officer or employee of the corporation, who served at the request of the corporation on a committee created by the Board of Directors to consider and report to it in respect of any matter. Any such indemnification may be made under the preceding provisions of this Article X and shall be subject to the limitations thereof except that (as indicated) any such committee member need not be nor have been a director, officer or employee of the corporation.

8

(c)

The provisions of this Article X shall be applicable to appeals. References to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include without limitation any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries. A person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation."



(d)

If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word in this Article X shall be adjudicated invalid or unenforceable, such adjudication shall not be deemed to invalidate or otherwise affect any other section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Article.



(e)

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article X shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities 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, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

ARTICLE XI—Amendments

        1.    AMENDMENTS.    Alterations or amendments of these By-Laws may be made by the stockholders at any annual or special meeting if the notice of such meeting contains a statement of the proposed alteration or amendment, or by the Board of Directors at any annual, regular or special meeting, provided notice of such alteration or amendment has been given to each director in writing at least five (5) days prior to said meeting or has been waived by all the directors.
