Article VIII

indemnification

 

Section 1. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed 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 for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer 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 or nonprofit entity, 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, trustee, 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 permitted by the Nevada 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. 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 his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in ‎Section 2 of this ‎Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee seeking indemnification 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 ‎Article VIII 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 (an “expense advancement”); provided, however, that, if the Nevada General Corporation Law so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made upon delivery to the corporation of 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 that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this ‎Article VIII or otherwise; and provided, further, that no expense advancement shall be paid by the corporation if independent legal counsel shall advise the board of directors in a written opinion that based upon the facts known to such counsel at the time, (i) the indemnitee acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his or her duty to the corporation or its stockholders, and (ii) as a result of such conduct by the indemnitee, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that such indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Nevada General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify such indemnitee. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

Section 2. (b) If a claim under ‎Section 1 of this ‎Article VIII is not paid in full by the corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an expense advancement, the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. It shall be a defense to any such action that the indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Nevada General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct; provided, however, that a determination by the board of directors denying an expense advancement based upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel as provided for in subparagraph (a) above shall be a complete defense to any action seeking an expense advancement, but such determination shall not be a defense or create a presumption that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder upon the final disposition of the proceeding.

 

Section 3. The right to indemnification and the payment of expense incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Section 4. Any indemnitee entitled to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses, in each case pursuant to this Article VIII, may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or insurance provided by one or more persons with whom or which such indemnitee may be associated. The corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that (1) the corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Article VIII, (2) the corporation shall be primarily liable for all such obligations and any indemnification afforded to a indemnitee in respect of a proceeding, expense, liability or matter that is the subject of this Article VIII, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract or otherwise, (3) any obligation of any persons with whom or which a indemnitee may be associated to indemnify such indemnitee and/or advance expenses or liabilities to such indemnitee in respect of any proceeding shall be secondary to the obligations of the corporation hereunder, (4) the corporation shall be required to indemnify each indemnitee and advance expenses to each indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights such indemnitee may have against any other person with whom or which such indemnitee may be associated or insurer of any such person, and (5) the corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any other person with whom or which a indemnitee may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the corporation hereunder.

Section 5. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada General Corporation Law.

 

Section 6. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

 

Section 7.
