 the Corporation or a director, officer, fiduciary or other


 representative of such other enterprise, shall be indemnified


 against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines

 full extent permitted under the General Corporation Law of the


 State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be

 other representative is not entitled to be indemnified under


 applicable law.


     15.03  The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or


 advancement of expenses pursuant hereto shall in no way be


 exclusive of any other rights of indemnification or advancement


 to which any such director or officer, fiduciary or other


 representative may be entitled, under any by law, agreement, vote


 of stockholders 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
