                           ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION

     The  Corporation  shall  indemnify its Officers,  Directors,  Employees and
Agents in accordance with the following:.

     (a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened,  pending or completed  action,
suit or proceeding,  whether civil,  criminal,  administrative  or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the  Corporation),  by reason of the
fact  that  he  is or  was  a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of  the
Corporation, or is or was otherwise serving at the request of the Corporation as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership joint
venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,  actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding,  if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation,  and, with respect to any criminal action
or  proceeding,  has no reasonable  cause to believe his conduct to be unlawful.
The  termination  of  any  action,  suit  or  proceeding,  by  judgment,  order,
settlement,  conviction upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,  shall
not of itself create a presumption  that the person did not act in good faith in
a manner he reasonably  believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Corporation  and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,  had
reasonable cause to believe the action was unlawful.

     (b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the  Corporation,  to procure a judgment in its favor
by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,  officer,  employee or agent
of the Corporation,  or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against  expenses  (including  attorneys'
fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement  of such action or suit, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably  believed  to be in, or not  opposed  to, the best  interests  of the
Corporation,  except  that no  indemnification  shall be made in  respect of any
claim,  issue or matter as to whether such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable  for  negligence  or  misconduct  in the  performance  of his duty to the
Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action
or  suit  was  brought  shall  determine  upon  application  that,  despite  the
adjudication of liability,  but in view of all  circumstances  of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably  entitled to  indemnification  for such expenses
which such court deems proper.

     (c) To the  extent  that a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in

Sections  (a) and (b) of this  Article,  or in defense  of any  claim,  issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified  against expenses (including  attorney's
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

     (d) Any  indemnification  under Section (a) or (b) of this Article  (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the  Corporation  only as authorized in the
specific  case  upon  a  determination  that  indemnification  of  the  officer,
director,  employee or agent is proper under the  circumstances,  because he has
met the  applicable  standard of conduct set forth in Section (a) or (b) of this
Article.  Such  determination  shall be made (i) by the Board of  Directors by a
majority  vote of a quorum  consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if
obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote and  represented at a meeting
called for that purpose.

     (e) Expenses  (including  attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of
the final  disposition  of such action,  suit or  proceeding,  as  authorized in
Section (d) of this Article, upon receipt of an understanding by or on behalf of
the director,  officer,  employee or agent to repay such amount, unless it shall
ultimately  be  determined  that  he  is  entitled  to  be  indemnified  by  the
Corporation as authorized in this Article.

     (f) The Board of Directors may exercise the Corporation's power to purchase
and  maintain  insurance  on  behalf  of any  person  who is or was a  director,
officer,  employee,  or agent of the  Corporation,  or is or was  serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any
liability  asserted  against him and  incurred by him in any such  capacity,  or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article.

     (g) The  indemnification  provided  by this  Article  shall  not be  deemed
exclusive  of any other  rights to which those  seeking  indemnification  may be
entitled under these Amended Articles of Incorporation,  the Bylaws, agreements,
vote of the shareholders or disinterested  directors,  or otherwise,  both as to
action in his  official  capacity  and as to action in  another  capacity  while
holding  such  office and shall  continue  as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs
and personal representatives of such a person.
