vote such shares. Any fiduciary may vote shares registered in the name as such fiduciary, either in

absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal,

thereto as in this Article IX above-provided may alter, amend or repeal Bylaws made by the Board
of Directors. If any bylaw regulating an impending election of Directors is adopted by the Board of
Directors, which effectively amends or repeals a regulation concerning the method, notice, quorum
necessary or otherwise substantially affecting the means for conducting an impending election of
the Board of Directors, there shall be set forth in the notice of the next meeting of shareholders for
the election of Directors, the bylaw so made and adopted together with a concise statement of the
changes made.
ARTICLE X - INDEMNITY
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 proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative 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, may be indemnified by the
Corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines 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 the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he
had no reasonable cause to believe his 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, 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 the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Any indemnification under the foregoing provisions shall be made by the Corporation only as
authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of a director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he had met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth above. Such determination shall be made 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
if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable and the quorum of disinterested directors so

Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by
the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amounts unless it shall ultimately be determined
that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as herein authorized.
The indemnification herein provided by this Section 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 and as
to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs,
executors and administrators of such person.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have
the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions above set forth.
For purposes of this Article, references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the
resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent)
absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have
had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same
position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as
he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
The amount of indemnity to which any officer or Director may be entitled shall be fixed by
the Board of Directors, except that in any case where there is no disinterested majority of the Board
available, the amount shall be fixed by arbitration pursuant to the then existing rules of the
American Arbitration Association.
