SECTION 5.    CONSTRUCTION.

For the purposes of this Article 5, references to “the Corporation” include in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or as a member of any committee or similar body shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

SECTION 6.    NON-EXCLUSIVE.

The Corporation may indemnify, or agree to indemnify, any person, and pay any expenses, including attorneys’ fees in advance of final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding, if such indemnification and/or payment is approved by the vote of the stockholders, disinterested directors, or is in the opinion of independent legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors for an indemnitee who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation.
