ratified by the Board of Directors or Executive Committee, with the assenting vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors or Executive Committeemen
then present, or, if only one such is present, with his assenting vote.
NINTH: No stockholder action may be taken except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and stockholders may not take
any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
TENTH: Unless required by law or demanded by a stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or determined by the
chairman of such meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder
voting, or his proxy if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted by such stockholder or proxy.
ELEVENTH: (1)Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A Director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the
Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article ELEVENTH to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a Director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Section by the stockholders of the corporation shall
not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
(2) Indemnification and Insurance.
(A) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he
or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director, officer or employee of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans (hereinafter, an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, officer, employee or agent or
in any other capacity while serving as a Director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said Law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who
has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators; provided,
however, that, except as provided in paragraph (B) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify any
such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
Board of Directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by
the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter, an "advancement of expenses");
provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a
Director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter,
an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from
which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter, a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this
Section or otherwise, and, provided further, that an advancement of expenses incurred by an employee other than a Director or officer in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding shall be made, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only upon
