majority of the Directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the
Board, or by a sole remaining Director. Any Director elected in accordance with

or hereafter in effect, no Director of the Company will be personally liable to
the Company or its stockholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in
the performance of his or her duties as a Director of the Company. Any repeal or
modification of this Article VIII will not adversely affect any right or
protection of a Director of the Company existing prior to such repeal or
modification.
ARTICLE IX
Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a
"Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an
officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company, while
a director or officer of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or agent
of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an
"Indemnitee"), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or
required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in
the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits
the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted
the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability
and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by
such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as
provided in Section 3 of this Article IX with respect to Proceedings to enforce
rights to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection
with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such
Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification
conferred in Section 1 of this Article IX shall include the right to be paid by
the Company the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (an "Advancement of Expenses"); provided, however, that, if the DGCL
so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her
capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation,
service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the
Company of an undertaking (an "Undertaking"), by or on behalf of such
Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal (a "Final Adjudication") that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to
indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2
of this Article IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to
an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee's heirs, executors and
administrators.

Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of
this Article IX is not paid in full by the Company within 60 calendar days after
a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim
for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be
20 calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against
the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or
in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an
Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee
shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such
suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to
indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to
enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and
(ii) any suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses
pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to
recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met
any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the
failure of the Company (including its directors, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its directors,
independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee
has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit
brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the
Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of
Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of
Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of
Expenses, under this Article IX or otherwise shall be on the Company.

Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the
Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of
any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any
statute, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 5. Insurance. The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under
the DGCL.

Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Company. The Company
may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant
rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses to any employee or
agent of the Company or to any person who serves at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to
the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the
indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the
Company or as otherwise permitted or required by the DGCL.
