INDEMNIFICATION

Section 601. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

-8-

(b) if a current or former director or officer of the Corporation, is serving or served, in any capacity, at the request of the Corporation, any other corporation, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or (c) if not a director or officer of the Corporation, is serving or served, at the request of the Corporation, as a director or officer of any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement (provided the Corporation shall have consented to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by it) and reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation, incurred by such Indemnified Person with respect to any such threatened or actual action or proceeding, and any appeal therein, provided that: (x) the Indemnified Person acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (y) the acts of the Indemnified Person which were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or otherwise disposed of were not committed in bad faith or were not the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; and (z) the Indemnified Person did not personally gain in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation: (a) shall not provide indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with an action or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by a director or officer unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to such action or proceeding (or part thereof); and (b) unless ordered by a court pursuant to the applicable provisions of the New York Business Corporation Law, the Corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with a proceeding by the Corporation in its own right.

Section 602. Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person
in connection with any action or proceeding as to which indemnification may be given under Section 601 of this Article VI may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon: (a) receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such advancement in the event that such director or officer is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification as authorized by this Article VI, and (b) approval by the Board of Directors acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding or, if such a quorum is not obtainable, then approval in accordance with Section 603(d). To the extent permitted by law, the Board of Directors or, if applicable, the shareholders, shall not be required under this Section 602 to make a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct provided by law for indemnification in connection with such action or proceeding.

Section 603. Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Not later than 30 days following final disposition of an action or
proceeding with respect to which the Corporation has received written request by an Indemnified Person for indemnification pursuant to this Article, if such indemnification has not been ordered by a court, the Board shall meet and find whether the Indemnified Person met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 601 of this Article, and, if it finds that he or she did, shall authorize such indemnification.

-9-

      1. Such standard shall be found to have been met unless (i) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Indemnified Person establishes that (A) acts of the Indemnified Person were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (B) the Indemnified Person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled; or (ii) if the action or proceeding was disposed of other than by judgment or other final adjudication, the Board finds in good faith that, if it had been disposed of by judgment or other final adjudication, such judgment or other fmal adjudication would have been adverse to the Indemnified Person and would have established (A) or (B) above.
      2. If indemnification is denied, in whole or part, because of such a finding by the Board in the absence of a judgment or other final adjudication, or because the Board believes the expenses for which indemnification is requested to be unreasonable, such action by the Board shall in no way affect the right of the Indemnified Person to make application therefor in any court having jurisdiction. In such action or proceeding the issue shall be whether the Indemnified Person met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 601 or whether the expenses were reasonable, as the case may be, and not whether the finding of the Board with respect thereto was correct. The determination of such issue shall not be affected by the Board's fmding. If the judgment or other final adjudication in such action or proceeding establishes that the Indemnified Person met the standard set forth in Section 601 or that some or all of the disallowed expenses were reasonable, the Board shall then find such standard to have been met if it has not done so, and shall grant such indemnification, and shall also grant to the Indemnified Person indemnification of the expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the action or proceeding resulting in the judgment or other fmal adjudication that such standard of conduct was met. If pursuant to such court determination such person is entitled to less than the full amount of indemnification denied by the Corporation, the portion of such expenses proportionate to the amount of such indemnification so awarded.

(d) A finding by the Board pursuant to this Section that the standard of
conduct set forth in Section 601 has been met shall mean a finding: (i) by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, if obtainable, such a quorum is unable to make such a finding and so directs, (A) by the Board upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel to the Corporation that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct has been met, or (B) by the shareholders upon a finding that such standard has been met. The determination by the Board, counsel or shareholders regarding the standard of conduct is to be made as promptly as is practicable.

Section 604. Contractual Article. This Article shall be deemed to constitute a contract
between the Corporation and each director and each officer of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while this Article is in effect. No repeal or amendment of this Article, insofar as it reduces the extent of the indemnification of any person who could be a Indemnified Person, shall without his or her written consent be effective as to such person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to: (a) the date of such repeal or amendment if on that date he or she is not serving in any capacity for which he or she could be a Indemnified Person; (b) the 30th day following delivery to him or her of written notice of such amendment as to any capacity in which he or she is serving on the date of such repeal or

-10-

amendment, other than as a director or officer of the Corporation, for which he or she could be a Indemnified Person; or (c) the later of the 30th day following delivery to him or her of such notice or the end of the term of office (for whatever reason) he or she is serving as director or officer of the Corporation when such repeal or amendment is adopted, with respect to being an Indemnified Person in that capacity. No amendment of New York State's Business Corporation Law shall, insofar as it reduces the permissible extent of the right of indemnification of an Indemnified Person under this Article, be effective as to such person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. This Article shall be binding on any successor to the Corporation, including any corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets.

Section 605. Insurance. The Corporation may, but need not, maintain insurance insuring the Corporation or persons entitled to indemnification under Section 601 of this Article for liabilities against which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article or insuring such persons for liabilities against which they are not entitled to indemnification under this Article.

Section 606. Non-exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person covered hereby may be entitled other than pursuant to this Article. The Corporation is authorized to enter into agreements with any such person or persons providing them rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in addition to the provisions therefor in this Article to the full extent permitted by law.
