to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or

Section 6         General Provisions.

                  (a) The term "to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law", as used in this Article IV shall mean the maximum extent permitted by
public policy, common law or statute. Any person covered by Section 2 of Article
IV hereof may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, elect to have
the right to indemnification or to advancement or reimbursement of expenses,
interpreted, at such person's option; (i) on the basis of the applicable law on
the date this Section was approved by the shareholders; or (ii) on the basis of
the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event, act or
omission giving rise to the action, suit or proceeding, or (iii) on the basis of
the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought.

                  (b) The right of a person covered by Section 2 of Article IV
hereof to be indemnified or to receive an advancement or reimbursement of
expenses pursuant to Section 3 of Article IV; (i) may be enforced as a contract
right pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the

modification is adopted.

reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Corporation
within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the
Corporation together with all supporting information reasonably requested by the
Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim (plus interest at the
prime rate announced from time to time by the Corporation's primary lending
bank) and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
also to be paid the expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and
investigation fees and costs) of prosecuting such claim. Neither the failure of
the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel)
to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of or the advancement or reimbursement of expenses to the
claimant is proper in the circumstances, nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors or independent legal counsel) that
the claimant is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant is not so entitled.

                  (d) The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IV shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement or reimbursement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

                  (e) Nothing contained in this Article IV shall be construed to
limit the rights and powers the Corporation possesses under Chapter 17,
Subchapter D of the BCL, or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the powers
to purchase and maintain insurance, create funds to secure or insure its
indemnification obligations, and any other rights or powers the Corporation may
otherwise have under applicable law.

                  (f) The provisions of this Article IV may, at any time (and
whether before or after there is any basis for a claim for indemnification or
for the advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant hereto), be amended,
supplemented, waived, or terminated, in whole or in part, with respect to any
person covered by Section 2 of Article IV hereof by a written agreement signed
by the Corporation and such person.

                  (g) The Corporation shall have the right to appoint the
attorney for a person covered by Section 2 of Article IV hereof, provided such
appointment is not unreasonable under the circumstances.
