qualified. When one or more directors resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a

of stockholders of the corporation following the filing of this certificate of incorporation; the
initial Class B Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of
stockholders following the filing of this certificate of incorporation; and the initial Class C

joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys fees)
reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the corporation
shall be required to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an Indemnitee in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such
proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the board of directors of the
corporation.
