6


serving, at the request of the corporation, as a director, officer or trustee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (any such person being a “Responsible Person”), or is an heir, successor or administrator of a Responsible Person, from and against all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement (provided the corporation shall have consented to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by it) and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation, incurred by such person with respect to any such threatened or actual action or proceeding, and any appeal therein, provided only that (x) acts of the Responsible Person which were material to the cause of action so adjudicated or otherwise disposed of were (i) committed in good faith and (ii) were committed in a manner the Responsible Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (y) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Responsible Person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. For purposes of this Article 6, any director or officer of a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the corporation shall be deemed to be serving in that capacity at the request of the corporation. Any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1 is hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Person.”

6.2 Advancement of Expenses. All expenses reasonably incurred by a Responsible Person or his heir, successor or administrator in connection with a threatened or actual action or proceeding with respect to which such person is or may be entitled to indemnification under this Article shall be advanced or promptly reimbursed by the corporation to him in advance of the final, non-appealable disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the amount of such advances, if any, as to which he is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification or where indemnification is granted, to the extent such advances exceed the indemnification to which he is entitled.

6.3 Procedure for Indemnification.

(a) Not later than thirty (30) days following final disposition of an action or proceeding with respect to which the corporation has received a written request for indemnification pursuant to this Article by a person who is or may be entitled to such indemnification (a “Claimant”), if such indemnification has not been ordered by a court, the Board of Directors shall meet and find whether the Responsible Person met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 of this Article, and, if it finds that he did, or to the extent it so finds, shall authorize such indemnification.

(b) Such standard shall be found to have been met unless (i) a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the Claimant establishes that (A) acts of the Responsible Person were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (B) the Responsible Person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled; or (ii) if the action or proceeding was disposed of other than by judgment or other final adjudication, the Board finds in good faith that, if it had been disposed of by judgment or other final adjudication, such Judgment or other final adjudication would have been adverse to the Claimant and would have established (A) or (B) above.

(c) If indemnification is denied, in whole or part, because of such a finding by the Board in the absence of a judgment or other final adjudication, or because the Board believes the expenses for which indemnification is requested to be unreasonable, such action by the Board shall in no way affect the right of the Claimant to make application therefor in any court having jurisdiction thereof, and in such action or proceeding the issue shall be whether the Responsible Person met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1, or whether the expenses were reasonable, as the case may be; not whether the finding of the Board with respect thereto was correct; and the determination of such issue shall not be affected by the Board’s finding. If the judgment or other fund adjudication in such action or proceeding establishes that the Responsible Person met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1, or

 

7


that the disallowed expenses were reasonable, or to the extent that it does, the Board shall then find such standard to have been met if it has not done so, and shall grant such indemnification, and shall also grant to the Indemnified Person indemnification of the expenses incurred by him in connection with the action or proceeding resulting in the judgment or other final adjudication that such standard of conduct was met, or if pursuant to such court determination such person is entitled to less than the full amount of indemnification denied by the corporation, the portion of such expenses proportionate to the amount of such indemnification so awarded.

(d) A finding by the Board pursuant to this Section that the standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.1 bas been met shall mean a finding (i) by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding or, (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, if obtainable, such a quorum is unable to make such a finding and so directs, (A) by the Board upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct has been met, or (B) by the stockholders upon a finding that such standard has been met, such action by the Board or stockholders to be taken as promptly as is practicable.

6.4 Primacy of Indemnification; Subrogation. The corporation hereby acknowledges that the Indemnified Persons have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by Cortec Fund and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). Notwithstanding any such arrangements, the corporation (i) shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e. its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Indemnified Person are secondary); (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any Indemnified Person and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of these by-laws and the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation, without regard to any rights such Indemnified Person may have against the Fund Indemnitors; and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims it may have against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of its indemnification of and advancement of expenses to the Indemnified Persons. No advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from the corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall, to the extent of such advancement or payment, have a right of contribution from the corporation and/or a right of subrogation to all tights of recovery of such indemnified Person against the corporation. Each Fund Indemnitor shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 6.4.

6.5 Contractual Article. This Article shall be deemed to constitute a contract between the corporation and each director and each officer of the corporation and each Observer who serves as such at any time while this Article is in effect. No repeal or amendment of this Article, insofar as it reduces the extent of the indemnification of any person who could be a Responsible Person, shall without his written consent be effective as to such person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to (a) the date of such repeal or amendment if on that date he is not serving in any capacity for which he could be a Responsible Person, or (b) the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery to him of written notice of such amendment as to any capacity in which he is serving on the date of such repeal or amendment, other than as a director, officer or Observer of the corporation, for which he could be a Responsible Person, or (c) the later of the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery to him of such notice or the end of the term of office (for whatever reason) he is serving as director, officer or Observer of the corporation when such repeal or amendment is adopted, with respect to being a Responsible Person in that capacity. No amendment of the Business Corporation Law shall, insofar as it reduces the permissible extent of the right of indemnification of a Responsible Person under this Article, be effective as to such person with respect to any event, act or omission occurring or allegedly occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. This Article shall be binding on any successor to the corporation, including any corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the corporation’s assets.

6.6 Insurance. The corporation may, but need not, maintain insurance insuring the corporation or persons entitled to indemnification under Section 6.1 of this Article for liabilities against which they are entitled to indemnification under this Article or insuring such persons for liabilities against which they are not entitled to indemnification under this Article.

6.7 Non-exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person covered hereby may be entitled other than pursuant to this Article.
