ARTICLE FOURTEEN
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
A. PERSONS. The Corporation shall indemnify, to the extent provided in
Paragraphs (B), (D) or (F) and to the extent permitted from time to time by law:
(1) any person who is or was director, officer, agent or employee of
the Corporation, and
(2) any person who serves or served at the Corporation's request as a
director, officer, agent, employee, partner or trustee of another corporation or
of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
B. EXTENT--DERIVATIVE SUITS. In case of a suit by or in the right of
the Corporation against a person named in Paragraph (A) by reason of his holding
a position named in Paragraph (A), the Corporation shall indemnify him, if he
satisfies the standard in Paragraph (C), for expenses (including attorney's fees
but excluding amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with the defense or settlement of the suit.
C. STANDARD--DERIVATIVE SUITS. In case of a suit by or in the right of
the Corporation, a person named in Paragraph (A) shall be indemnified only if:
(1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise, or
(2) he acted in good faith in the transaction which is the subject of
the suit, and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to,
the best interests of the Corporation. However, he shall not be indemnified in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which he has been adjudged 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 the suit was brought
shall determine, upon application, that despite the adjudication but in view of
all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
D. EXTENT--NONDERIVATIVE SUITS. In case of a suit, action or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), other than a suit by
or in the right of the Corporation against a person named in Paragraph (A) by
reason of his holding a position named in Paragraph (A), the Corporation shall
indemnify him, if he satisfies the standard in Paragraph (E), for amounts
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of the suit as
(1) expenses (including attorneys' fees),
(2) amounts paid in settlement
(3) judgments, and
(4) fines.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION PAGE NUMBER 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. STANDARD--NONDERIVATIVE SUITS. In case of a nonderivative suit, a
person named in Paragraph (A) shall be indemnified only if:
(1) he is successful on the merits or otherwise, or
(2) he acted in good faith in the transaction which is the subject of
the nonderivative suit, 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 reason to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of a nonderivative suit by judgement, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person failed to satisfy
this Paragraph (E) (2).
F. DETERMINATION THAT STANDARD HAS BEEN MET. A determination that the
standard of Paragraph (C) or (E) has been satisfied may be made by a court of
law or equity or the determination may be made by:
(1) a majority of the directors of the Corporation (whether or not a
quorum) who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or
(2) independent legal counsel (appointed by a majority of the directors
of the Corporation, whether or not a quorum, or elected by the Shareholders of
the Corporation) in a written opinion, or
(3) the Shareholders of the Corporation.
G. PRORATION. Anyone making a determination under Paragraph (F) may
determine that a person has met the standard as to some matters but not as to
others, and may reasonably prorate amounts to be indemnified.
H. ADVANCE PAYMENT. The Corporation may pay in advance any expenses
(including attorney's fees) which may become subject to indemnification under
paragraphs (A) - (G) if:
(1) the Board of Directors authorizes the specific payment and
(2) the person receiving the payment undertakes in writing to repay
unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification by the
Corporation under Paragraphs (A) - (G).
I. NONEXCLUSIVE. The indemnification provided by Paragraphs (A) - (G)
shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by
law or by by-law, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.
J. CONTINUATION. The indemnification and advance payment provided by
Paragraphs (A) - (H) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to hold a
position named in paragraph (A) and shall inure to his heirs, executors and
administrators.

K. INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who holds or who has held any position named in Paragraph
(A) against any liability incurred by him in any such positions or arising out
of this status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to
indemnify him against such liability under Paragraphs (A) - (H).
L. REPORTS. Indemnification payments, advance payments, and insurance
purchases and payments made under Paragraphs (A) - (K) shall be reported in
writing to the Shareholders of the Corporation with the next notice of annual
meeting, or within six months, whichever is sooner.
M. AMENDMENT OF ARTICLE. Any changes in the General Corporation Law of
Delaware increasing, decreasing, amending, changing or otherwise effecting the
indemnification of directors, officers, agents, or employees of the Corporation
shall be incorporated by reference in this Article as of the date of such
changes without further action by the Corporation, its Board of Directors, of

degree allowed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware at all
times.

shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the Corporation or

Corporation or its Shareholders (ii) for any acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law (iii) for
