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 proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of this Corporation) by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this Corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of this Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, taxes 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 this

Page 9
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 interests of this Corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful.
2. Indemnification with Respect to Actions by or in the Right of the
Corporation. This 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 by or in the
right of this 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 this Corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of this Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee 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 this Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter if 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 the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Any indemnification under this Article XI (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by this
Corporation only as authorized in the specific instance upon a determination that indemnification
of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article XI. Such
determination shall be made (1) 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 (2) if such quorum is not
obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this Article XI, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys
fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him, in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
3. Payment of Expenses in Advance of Disposition of Action. Expenses incurred in
defending any actual or threatened civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by
this Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as
authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific instance upon receipt of an undertaking by or
on behalf of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent to repay such amount,
unless it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation
as authorized in this Article XI.
4. Indemnification Provided in this Article Non-Exclusive. The indemnification
provided in this Article XI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification may be entitled under any By-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee,
partner, trustee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrator
of such a person.
