Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is hereafter amended to authorize further reductions in or elimination of the liability of the Corporation's directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty, then a director or an officer of the Corporation shall not be liable for any such breach to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as so amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3<u>Repeal or Modification</u>. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right of indemnification or limitation of liability of an agent of the Corporation relating to the acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
