ARTICLE VI
The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to
time by or in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation or amendment
thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders of the
Corporation. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the
Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.
ARTICLE VII
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute,
the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal
the Bylaws of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VIII
To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (provided that the effect of any
such amendment shall be prospective only) the "Delaware Law"), a director of the
Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director. The
Corporation shall indemnify, in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware Law (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent
that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification
rights than permitted prior thereto), any person (or the estate of any person)
who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by
or in the right of the Corporation, and whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Corporation to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware Law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
such person against any liability which may be asserted against such person. The
Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other
means (including without limitation a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of
such sums as may become necessary or desirable to effect the indemnification as
provided herein. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, the
indemnification provided herein shall include expenses as incurred (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, finds and amounts paid in settlement and any such
expenses shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the person seeking indemnification to repay such amounts if it is ultimately
determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any other provision of this Article, no advance shall be made by
the Corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board
by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Directors, or (if such a quorum
is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Directors so
directs) by independent legal counsel to the Corporation, that, based upon the
facts known to the Board or such counsel at the time such determination is made,
(a) the party seeking an advance acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his
or her duty to the Corporation or its stockholders, and (b) as a result of such
actions by the party seeking an advance, it is more likely than not that it will
ultimately be determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification
pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII. The indemnification provided
herein
<PAGE> 4
shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Corporation to indemnify any other
person for any such expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
Law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person
seeking indemnification from the Corporation may be entitled under any
agreement, the Corporation's Bylaws, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Corporation
may, but only to the extent that the Board of Directors may (but shall not be
obligated to) authorize from time to time, 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 VII as it applies to the
indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the
Corporation.
