Company to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve
as a Director of the Company. No person shall be eligible for election
as a Director of the Company, and no business shall be conducted at the
annual meeting of shareholders, other than those made by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, unless nominated or proposed in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.7, and no
action of the Company, including without limitation, the provision of
notice to the shareholders or the delivery or filing of a proxy
statement by the Company, shall be deemed to satisfy this requirement
for any shareholder, nomination or proposal. The Chairman of the meeting
may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a

INDEMNIFICATION
3.1
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHER PERSONS.
The Company shall indemnify any director or officer of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries who was or is an “authorized representative”
of the Company (which shall mean for the purposes of Sections 3.1.
through 3.7, a director or officer of the Company, or a person serving
at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, fiduciary
or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise) and who was or is a “party”
(which shall include for purposes of Sections 3.1 through 3.7 the
giving of testimony or similar involvement) or is threatened to be made
a party to any “proceeding” (which shall mean for purposes of Sections
3.1 through 3.7 any threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
appeal or other proceeding of any nature, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, whether formal or informal, and whether
brought by or in the right of the Company, its shareholders or
otherwise) by reason of the fact that such person was or is an
authorized representative of the Company to the fullest extent permitted
by law, including without limitation indemnification against expenses
(which shall include for purposes of Sectionss 3.1 through 3.7
attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages, punitive damages,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding
unless the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim is finally
determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or
recklessness. If an authorized representative is not entitled to
indemnification in respect of a portion of any liabilities to which such
person may be subject, the Company shall nonetheless indemnify such
person to the maximum extent for the remaining portion of the
liabilities.
3.2
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.
The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred in defending a
proceeding on behalf of any person entitled to indemnification under
Section 3.1 in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay
such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in Sections
3.1 through 3.7 and may pay such expenses in advance on behalf of any
employee or agent on receipt of a similar undertaking. The financial
ability of such authorized representative to make such repayment shall
not be prerequisite to the making of an advance.
3.3 EMPLOYEE
BENEFIT PLANS.
For purposes of Sections 3.1 through 3.7, the Company shall be
deemed to have requested an officer or director to serve as fiduciary
with respect to an employee benefit plan where the performance by such
person of duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise
involves services by, such person as a fiduciary with respect to the
plan; excise taxes assessed on an authorized representative with respect
to any transaction with an employee benefit plan shall be deemed
“fines”; and action taken or omitted by such person with respect to an
employee benefit plan in the performance of duties for a purpose
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is
not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.

provided herein or otherwise, the Company may maintain insurance, obtain
a letter of credit, act as self-insurer, create a reserve, trust,
escrow, cash collateral or other fund or account, enter into
indemnification agreements, pledge or grant a security interest in any
assets or properties of the Company, or use any other mechanism or
arrangement whatsoever in such amounts, at such costs, and upon such
other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall deem
appropriate.

Company shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon the rights of
indemnification provided by these Sections 3.1 through 3.7.

REPEAL.
All rights of indemnification under Sections 3.1 through 3.7 shall
be deemed a contract between the Company and the person entitled to
indemnification under these Sections 3.1 through 3.7 pursuant to which
the Company and each such person intend to be legally bound. Any repeal,
amendment or modification hereof shall be prospective only and shall not
limit, but may expand, any rights or obligations in respect of any
proceeding whether commenced prior to or after such change to the extent
such proceeding pertains to actions or failures to act occurring prior
to such change.
3.7 SCOPE.
The indemnification, as authorized by these Sections 3.1 through
3.7, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those
seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action
in any other capacity while holding such office. The indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to these
Sections 3.1 through 3.7 shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be an officer or director in respect of matters arising prior to such
time, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal
representatives of such person.
