The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the 

 

5 

Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; **provided, however,** that, if the DelawareGeneral Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer 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 person while a director orofficer, including without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, torepay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board ofDirectors, either on a general basis or as to specific employees or agents, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with similar scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, or itsstockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the Party to be Indemnified is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in theDelaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Party to be Indemnified has not met such applicable standard of conduct,shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Party to be Indemnified has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

 

(c) **Non-Exclusivity of Rights.** The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its finaldisposition conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders ordisinterested directors, or otherwise.

6 

officer in amounts and scope at least as favorable as that maintained by the Corporation on September 30, 1996, or, to the extent more favorable, anyInsurance policy entered into or renewed by the Corporation following such date.
