1.           Each 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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, 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 expenses, liabilities, and loss including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she 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 or her 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, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

2.           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 he or she is or was a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, legal counsel, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but in the case of any such amendment only to be 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 expenses, liabilities and loss including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification pursuant to this Section (B) 2 may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

The right to indemnification conferred in this Article 10 shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the corporation any expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the General Corporation Law of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (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 to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of any 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 section 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.

 

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of  the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement(s), vote of Stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

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 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 General Corporation Law of Delaware.

 

ELEVEN: At any regularly scheduled meeting of Stockholders, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been brought before the meeting (a) by, or at the direction of, the Board of Directors, or (b) by any Stockholder of the corporation who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article 11.  For a proposal to be properly brought before a meeting by a Stockholder, the Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive office of the corporation no less than 60 days prior to the scheduled meeting, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of that meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made, notice by the Stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which such notice of the date of the scheduled meeting was mailed or the day on which such public disclosure was made. A Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting: (a) a brief description of the proposal desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the Stockholder proposing such business and any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal; (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s stock which are beneficially owned by the Stockholder on the date of such Stockholder’s notice and by any other Stockholders known by such Stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the date of such Stockholder notice; and (d) any financial interest of the Stockholder making the proposal or any other Stockholder known by such Stockholder to be supporting the proposal.

 

The presiding officer of the meeting shall determine and declare at or before the meeting whether the Stockholder proposal was made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9.  If the presiding officer determines that a Stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Article 9, he or she shall so declare at the meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the meeting.
