INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,

OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES

TWENTY-FOURTH:  The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, in the manner and to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL, any person (or the estate of any person) who was or is a party to, or is involved in or 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, officer or general counsel of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, general counsel of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans. The indemnification provided herein shall be made if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, has no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that, except as provided in the following paragraph, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification provided herein shall include all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person. The corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance and an undertaking by or on behalf of such claimant that the claimant will repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH or otherwise. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided herein (a) shall not be deemed to limit the right of the corporation to indemnify any other employee or agent and advance any such expenses to the full extent provided by the law, nor shall it be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses from the corporation may be entitled under any agreement, 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, (b) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to adoption of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH, and (c) shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director of officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The corporation may, to the full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against any liability which may be asserted against such person.

If a claim under this of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH is not paid in full within 30 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid the reasonable expense of prosecuting the claim. It shall be a defense to any such action to enforce a right to indemnification (but not to an action to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation.

No repeal or modification of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any person in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification. If any provision of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any indemnitee under this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding (or part thereof) effected without the corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or for any judicial award if the corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such proceeding. The board of directors may establish reasonable procedures for the submission of claims for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE TWENTY-FOURTH, determination of the entitlement of any person thereto, and review of any such determination.

NON-DISCRIMATION STATEMENT

TWENTY-FIFTH:  Consistent with the corporation's equal employment opportunity policy, nominations for the elections of directors shall be made by the board of directors and voted upon by the stockholders in a manner consistent with these by-laws and without regard to the nominee’s race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, or disability.
