ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
As described under Item 3.03 below, on December 1, 2011, Team, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Team”), consummated a merger with and into Team, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Team (the “Company”), for the purpose of changing Team’s state of incorporation from Texas to Delaware (the “Reincorporation”).  The Reincorporation was accomplished pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 29, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.  The shareholders of Team approved the Reincorporation and the Merger Agreement at Team’s annual meeting of shareholders held on September 29, 2011.  As a result of the Reincorporation, Team has ceased to exist and the Company, as the surviving corporation, will continue to operate the business of Team as it existed prior to the Reincorporation.
 
ITEM 3.03.  Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
 
As a result of the Reincorporation described in Item 1.01 above, (i) each share of Team’s common stock, par value $.030 per share (“Team Common Stock”), and preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share (together with Team Common Stock, the “Team Capital Stock”), outstanding immediately before the Reincorporation, was automatically converted into one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.30 par value per share (“Company Common Stock”), and preferred stock, par value $100.00 per share (together with the Company Common Stock, the “Company Capital Stock”), respectively, and (ii) all options and warrants to purchase Team Common Stock, outstanding at the time of Reincorporation, were automatically converted into options and warrants to purchase an identical number of shares of Company Common Stock.  Upon the Reincorporation, each certificate representing certain shares of Team Capital Stock now represents the same number of shares of Company Capital Stock.  Team shareholders do not need to exchange their certificates as a result of the Reincorporation.
 
The Reincorporation did not result in any change to Team’s company name, NASDAQ listing, CUSIP number, business operations, management or physical location.  Upon effectiveness of the Reincorporation, the board of directors of the Company consisted of those persons elected to the current board of directors of Team, who will continue to serve for the term of their respective elections to the board, and the individuals who served as executive officers of Team immediately prior to the Reincorporation will continue to serve as executive officers of the Company.
 
As of December 1, 2011, the effective date of the Reincorporation,   Delaware General Corporation Law governs the rights of the Company’s shareholders, and the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and bylaws (the “Bylaws”) govern the surviving corporation.
 
As a result of the Reincorporation, the Company is the successor issuer to Team and succeeds to the attributes of Team as the registrant in filings made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The Company’s Common Stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
The foregoing description of the Reincorporation, the Merger Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1, 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.  For a more detailed description and discussion of the effects of the Reincorporation, including material differences in the rights of shareholders under the laws of Texas and Delaware, please refer to Team’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 26, 2011.
 
ITEM 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
In connection with the Reincorporation as disclosed under Items 1.01 and 3.03 above, the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws now govern the surviving corporation.  The disclosures under Items 1.01 and 3.03 are incorporated herein by reference.

After adequate provision has been made for payment of full dividends on all preferred shares then outstanding for all past dividend periods and for the current dividend period, the Board may declare such further dividends as are permitted by law, and the Board shall have the absolute discretion of fixing the fashion in which holders of preferred shares and holders of common shares shall participate in such further dividends, with provision being made for one class participating more fully than the other or to the total exclusion of the other.

(iii) Cumulativeness of Preferred Dividends . Dividends on all preferred shares, regardless of series, shall be cumulative. No dividends shall be declared on any shares of any series of preferred shares for any dividend period unless all dividends accumulated for all prior dividend periods shall have been declared or shall then be declared at the same time upon all preferred shares then outstanding.

(iv) Preferences on Liquidation . In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each series of the then outstanding preferred shares shall be entitled to receive the amount fixed for such purpose in the resolution or resolutions of the Board establishing the respective series of preferred shares that might then be outstanding, together with a sum equal to the amount of all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon at the dividend rate fixed therefor in the resolution or resolutions. After such payment to such holders of preferred shares, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the common shares. A consolidation, merger or other reorganization of the Corporation with any other corporation or corporations or a sale for all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be considered a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of these provisions.
 
(v) Redemption Privileges of the Corporation . The whole or any part of the outstanding preferred shares or the whole or any part of any series thereof may be called for redemption and redeemed at any time at the option of the Corporation, exercisable by the Board upon thirty (30) days’ notice by mail to the holders of such shares as are to be redeemed, by paying therefore in case the redemption price fixed for such shares in the resolution or resolutions of the Board establishing the respective series of which the shares to be redeemed are a part, together with a sum equal to the amount of all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon at the dividend rate fixed therefor in the resolution or resolutions to the date fixed for such redemption. The Corporation may redeem the whole or any part of the shares of any series without redeeming the whole or any part of the shares of any other series; provided however, that if at any time less than the whole of the preferred shares of any particular series then outstanding shall be called for redemption, the particular shares called for redemption shall be determined by lot or by such other equitable as may be determined by the Board. The Corporation may, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption of the redeemable shares as specified in the notice, deposit with any bank or trust company in the city of Houston, Texas, or any bank or trust company in the United States duly appointed and acting as transfer agent for the Corporation, as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to give or complete the notice of redemption thereof and to pay, on or after the date fixed for such redemption, to the respective holders of shares, as evidenced by a list of holders of such shares certified by the corporation by its President or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, the redemptive price upon the surrender of their respective share certificates. Thereafter, from and after the date fixed for redemption, such shares shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue after such date fixed for redemption. Such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of such shares to their holders. Thereafter, such shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the redemptive price of such shares without interest, upon the surrender of their respective certificates therefor, and any right to convert such shares which may exist. In case the holders of shares shall not, within six (6) years after the deposit, claim the amount deposited for redemption thereof, such bank or trust company shall upon demand pay over to
 
 
3

 
the Corporation the balance of such amount so deposited to be held in trust and such bank or trust company shall thereupon be relieved of all responsibility to the holders thereof.
 
(vi) Conversion Privilege . The Board is authorized to grant or to deny to the holders of shares of one or more of the series of preferred shares the right to convert such preferred shares into common shares with par value $0.30 per share, and the Board is further authorized to fix and determine the terms and conditions on which such preferred shares may be so converted into common shares. The conversion rights granted, fixed and determined pursuant to the preceding sentence, along with the terms and conditions thereof, shall be set forth in the resolution or resolutions in which the Board establishes the respective series of preferred shares.
 
(vii) Preemptive Rights Denied . No stockholder of the Corporation shall have any preemptive right with respect to shares of stock, securities convertible into shares of stock, unissued or treasury shares of the Corporation of any class now or hereafter authorized or held.
 
(viii) Voting Rights . The holders of Common Stock shall vote one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock with respect to all affairs of the Corporation The Board is authorized to fix and determine or to deny voting rights
 with respect to one or more series of the preferred shares, and such voting rights shall be fixed and determined or denied in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board by which such respective series of preferred shares is established.

SECTION 1.1 . Authority of Board. The business and affairs of Team, Inc. (herein called the “Corporation”) shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or, if authorized by the Board, by or under the direction of one or more committees thereof, to the extent permitted by law and by the Board. Except as may be otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws or, in the case of a committee of the Board, by applicable resolution of the Board or such committee, the Board or any committee thereof may act by unanimous written consent or, at an authorized meeting at which a quorum is present, by the vote of the majority of the Directors present at the meeting. Except as may be otherwise provided by law, the Board shall have power to determine from time to time whether, and if allowed, when and under what conditions and regulations any of the accounts and books of the Corporation shall be open to inspection.
 
SECTION 1.2. Number of Directors; Classification of the Board. The number of Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by action of the Board, but shall not consist of fewer than five (5) Directors at any given time. The Directors shall be classified into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Directors as possible. Each Director shall serve for a term ending on the third annual meeting following the annual meeting at which such Director was elected. The foregoing notwithstanding, each Director shall serve until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, unless he or she shall resign, become disqualified or disabled, or shall otherwise be removed.
 
At each annual election, the Directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be of the same class as the Directors they succeed, unless, by reason of any intervening changes in the authorized number of Directors, the Board shall designate one or more Directorships whose term then expires as Directorships of another class in order more nearly to achieve equality of number of Directors among the classes.
 
Notwithstanding the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Directors as possible, in the event of any change in the authorized number of Directors, each Director then continuing to serve as such shall nevertheless continue as a Director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his current term, or his prior death, resignation or removal. If any newly created Directorship may, consistent with the rule that the three classes shall be as nearly equal in number of Directors as possible, be allocated to one or two or more classes, the Board shall allocate it to that of the available classes whose terms of office are due to expire at the earliest date following such allocation. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.
 
SECTION 1.3. Removal . Except as otherwise required by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, a Director of the Corporation may be removed only for cause, as determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares then entitled to vote in an election of Directors, voting as a single class.
 
SECTION 1.4. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Newly created Directorships resulting from an increase in the number of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of one or more Directors by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that the Board shall not fill more than two such Directorships during the period between two successive annual meetings of stockholders. Any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board. Any Director elected to fill any such vacancy

shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose departure from the Board created the vacancy and until such newly elected Director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.
 
SECTION 1.5. Authorized Meetings of the Board . The Board shall have authority to hold annual, regular and special meetings. An annual meeting of the Board may be held immediately after the conclusion of the annual meeting of the stockholders. Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such times as the Board may determine. Special meetings may be held if called by the Chairman of the Board, the CEO, or by at least one-third of the Directors then in office.
 
Notice of the time or place of a meeting may be given in person or by telephone by any officer of the Corporation, or transmitted electronically to the Director’s home or office, or entrusted to a third party company or governmental entity for delivery to the Director’s business address. Notice of annual or regular meetings is required only if the time for the meeting is changed or the meeting is not to be held at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. When notice is required, it shall be given not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time fixed for the meeting; provided, however, that if notice is transmitted electronically or entrusted to a third party for delivery, the electronic transmission shall be effected or the third party shall promise delivery by not later than the end of the day prior to the day fixed for the meeting. The Board may act at meetings held without required notice if all Directors consent to the holding of the meeting before, during or after the meeting.
 
At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. If any meeting of the Board shall lack a quorum, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice, until a quorum is obtained.
 
SECTION 1.6. Committees. The Board may, by resolution approved by at least a majority of the authorized number of Directors, establish committees of the Board with such powers, duties and rules of procedure as may be provided by the resolutions of the Board establishing such committees. Any such committee shall have a secretary and report its actions to the Board.
 
SECTION 1.7. Compensation. Directors shall be entitled to compensation for their service on the Board or any committee thereof as the Board may determine from time to time. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

SECTION 4.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President pursuant to the request of the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s voting stock, as specified in and subject to the provisions and conditions described herein. No business other than that stated in the notice shall be transacted at any special meeting.
 
SECTION 4.3. Place of Meeting .

SECTION 4.5. Stockholder Action in Lieu of Meeting .

Any written consent may be revoked by a writing received by the Secretary of the Corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.
 
SECTION 4.6. Closing of Transfer Books or Fixing of Record Date . For the purposes of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of the Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, sixty (60) days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than sixty (60) days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the
 
 
4

 
date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of stockholders, is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof except where the determination has been made through the closing of the stock transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired.
 
SECTION 4.7. Voting Lists . The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting shall be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.
 
SECTION 4.8 . Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
 
SECTION 4.9. Proxies . At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

SECTION 4.12. Inspectors of Election . In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board shall appoint not less than one (1) nor more than three (3) inspectors of election. If there is no such appointment made in advance, or if any appointed person refuses or fails to serve, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint a replacement. Inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, voting power of each share, shares represented at the meeting, existence of a quorum, and authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; shall receive votes, ballots, assents and consents, and hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with a vote; shall count and tabulate all votes, assents and consents, and determine and announce results; and do all other acts as may be proper to conduct elections or votes with fairness to all stockholders.
 
SECTION 4.13. Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not a quorum shall have been present), may be adjourned from time to time and from place to place by vote of a majority of the stock having voting power represented at such meeting, without notice other than announcement at such meeting of the time and place at which the meeting is to be resumed—such adjournment and the reasons therefore being recorded in the minutes of the meeting; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
 
 
5

 
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At any meeting so resumed after such adjournment, provided a majority of the outstanding shares of stock having voting power shall then be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally scheduled.
 
SECTION 4.14. Advance Notice of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals . This Section shall apply to all stockholder proposals, regardless of whether such proposals are brought under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder (A) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary; (B) the subject matter thereof must be a matter which is a proper subject matter for stockholder action at such meeting; and (C) the stockholder must be a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice required by this Section is delivered to the Corporation and must be entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, to be considered timely notice, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 calendar days before the date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders nor more than 120 days before the date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. If no annual meeting was held in the previous year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then a stockholder’s notice, in order to be considered timely, must be received by the Secretary not later than the later of the close of business on the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of such date was made.
 
Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a Director, (1) all information as may be required by the Corporation pursuant to any policy of the Corporation governing the selection of Directors; and (2) such person’s written consent to being named as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected; and (3) information as to any material relationships, including financial transactions and compensation, between the stockholder and the proposed nominee(s); and (B) as to any business the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (1) a brief description of such business; (2) the
text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment); (3) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; and (4) any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal or nomination is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal or nomination is made, (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner; (2) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and held of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner; (3) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination; and (4) a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee; and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination; and (5) a disclosure of all ownership interests, including derivatives, hedged positions and other economic and voting interests.
 
In addition, any nominee for election as Director must complete a questionnaire, in a form provided by the company, to be submitted with the stockholder proponent’s notice, that inquires as to, among other issues, the proposed nominee’s independence. In particular, candidates must represent that they do not have, nor will they have, any undisclosed voting commitments or other arrangements with respect to their actions as a Director.
 
ARTICLE V
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
SECTION 5.1. Right to Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise 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 is or was a Director or an officer of
 
 
6

 
the Corporation or, while serving as a Director or officer of the Corporation, 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 an employee benefit plan (hereinafter, an “indemnitee”), 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 DGCL, 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 such 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 in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized in the first instance by the Board.
 
SECTION 5.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses.   The right to indemnification conferred in Section 5.1 hereof shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter, an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that if the DGCL requires an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee 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 indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, 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 (hereinafter, a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article V or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
 
SECTION 5.3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.  If a claim under Section 5.1 is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days (or, with respect to claims under Section 5.1, twenty (20) 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. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article V or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
 
SECTION 5.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Effect of Amendment.  The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire by any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article V that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or it successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of
 
7

 
any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
 
SECTION 5.5. 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 against any 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 DGCL.
 
SECTION 5.6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation.  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article V with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and officers of the Corporation.
 
ARTICLE VI
Forum Selection
 
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any Director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any designation of Preferred Stock or the Bylaws of the Corporation, or (iv) any other action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any Director, officer or other employer of the Corporation that is governed by or subject to the internal affairs doctrine for choice of law purposes. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VI.
 
ARTICLE VII
