 surviving corporation) for acts, omissions or other events or occurrences prior to the merger to the same extent he or she would have been entitled to indemnification by                                                                                 |     | Comerica’s bylaws provide that Comerica will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
