INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 1. Definitions.

 

For the purposes of this Article, “agent” includes any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation; “proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative; and “expenses’ includes attorneys’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification under Section 4 of Section 5(c).

 

Section 2. Indemnification in Actions by Third Parties.

 

The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonable believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plan of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to e in the best interests of the corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 3. Indemnification in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation.

 

The corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact such person is or was an agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if such person acted in good faith, in a manner such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. No indemnification shall be made under this Section 3:

 

(a) In respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of such person’s duty to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action was brought shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which such court shall determine;

 

(b) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or with court approval.

 

16


Section 4. Indemnification Against Expenses.

 

To the extent that an agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 2 or 3 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection herewith.

 

Section 5. Required Determination.

 

Except as provided in Section 4, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case, upon a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper is in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 2 and 3 by:

 

(a) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding;

 

(b) Approval of the shareholders, with the shares owned by the person to be indemnified not being entitled to vote thereon; or

 

(c) The court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the corporation or the agent or the attorney or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not such application by the agent, attorney or other person is opposed by the corporation.

 

Section 6. Advance of Expenses.

 

Expenses incurred in defending any proceeding may be advanced by the corporation prior to the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the agent to repay such amount unless it shall be determined ultimately that the agent is entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article.

 

Section 7. Other Indemnification.

 

No provision made by the corporation to indemnify its or its subsidiary’s directors or officers for the defense of any proceeding, whether contained in the Articles, Bylaws, a resolution of shareholders or directors, an agreement, or otherwise, shall be valid unless consistent with this Article. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than such directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise.

 

Section 8. Forms of Indemnification Not Permitted.

 

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article, except as provided in Section 4 or Section 5(c) in any circumstances where it appears:

 

(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Articles, Bylaws, a resolution of the shareholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the alleged expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

 

17


(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

 

Section 9. Insurance.

 

The corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent or the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent’s status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

 

Section 10. Nonapplicability to Fiduciaries of Employee Benefit Plans.

 

This Article does not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment manager or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in such person’s capacity as such even though such person may also be an agent of the corporation as defined in Section 1. Nothing contained in this Article shall limit any right to indemnification to which such a trustee, investment manager or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or otherwise which shall be enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable law other than Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

AMENDMENTS

 

These Bylaws may be amended or repealed either by approval of the outstanding shares or by the approval of the Board; provided, however, that after the issuance of shares, a Bylaw specifying or changing a fixed number of directors or the maximum or minimum number or changing from a fixed to a variable Board or vice versa may only be adopted by approval of the outstanding shares.
