(b) Indemnification and Insurance .

 

(i) Right to Indemnification . Each person who was or is a party or is made a party, threatened to be made a party 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 she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, a member of any committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, or an officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, committee member, officer or representative or in any other capacity while serving as a director, committee member, officer or representative, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case of any such amendment to the fullest extent permitted by law, 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, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification will continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, committee member, officer or representative and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Such right shall be a contract right and shall include, except as otherwise provided in this Article X, 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”); provided, however, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, such advancement shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of 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 further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise; and provided, further, however, that the Corporation may make, but is not obligated to make with respect to any officer under this Article X, nor shall any officer have any right or entitlement under this Article X to, any advancement with respect to an action brought directly by the Corporation against such officer for malfeasance, defalcation, fraud or other willful misconduct in connection with, or in contravention of, such officer’s duties. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such advancement of expenses under this Article X shall be on the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X and except as provided in Section (b)(ii) of this Article X with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be required by this Article X to indemnify any indemnitee against expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee unless the initiation of the proceeding (or part thereof) was approved by the Board of Directors.

 

7
 

 

(ii) Payment of Indemnitee Claims; Burden of Proof . If a claim under this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee 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 indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense 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 undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the indemnitee 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 indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he or she 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 indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the indemnitee had not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

(iii) Non-Exclusivity of Rights . The rights conferred by this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which indemnitees may have or hereafter acquire under bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such indemnitee.

 

(iv) Effect of Amendments . Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Article X that adversely affects the right of an indemnitee or his or her successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

 

(v) Insurance . The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself or any indemnitee whether or not the Corporation would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under this Article or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

(vi) Other Indemnification . This Article X shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and advance expenses to indemnitees or persons other than indemnitees when and as authorized by the Board of Directors.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

AMENDMENT

 

Except as set forth herein and in the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE XII

 

OFFICERS’ AND DIRECTORS’ CONTRACTS

Any officer or director, individually or with others, may be a party to, or may have an interest in, any transaction of this Corporation or any transaction in which this Corporation is a party or has an interest. Each person who is now or may become an officer or director of this Corporation is hereby relieved from liability that he might otherwise obtain in the event such officer or director contracts with this Corporation for the benefit of himself or any other firm or corporation in which he may have an interest, provided such officer or director acts in good faith.

The corporation shall have the power to indemnify any 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 is or was a director, officer, employee or 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 expenses (including attorney's 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 for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that 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 circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
