(b) Applicability. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract with each director of the Corporation who serves as such at any time while this Article V is in effect and each such director shall be deemed to be so serving in reliance on the provisions of this Article V. Any amendment or repeal of these By-laws which has the effect of increasing director liability shall operate prospectively only and shall not affect any action taken, or any failure to act, prior to the adoption of such amendment, repeal, by-law or provision.

Section 5.02. Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification.

(1) As used herein, the word “Action” shall mean any action, suit or proceeding, administrative, investigative or other, (i) to which such person is a party (other than an action by the Corporation) or (ii) in connection with which such person is not a party but is a witness, subject to investigation or otherwise involved, in either case by reason of such person being or having been a director of officer of the Corporation.

(2) Unless in a particular case indemnification would jeopardize the Corporation’s tax exempt status under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Code, and except as prohibited by law, each director and officer of the Corporation shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by the Corporation against expenses and by liability paid or incurred by such person (i) in the defense of any Action to which such person is a party of (ii) in connection with any other Action.

(3) A person who is not a director of officer of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the Corporation to the extent the Board at any time designates such person as entitled to the benefits of this Article V.

(4) As used in this Article V “indemnitee” shall include each director and each officer of the Corporation and each other person designated by the Board as entitled to the benefits of this Article V; “liability” shall include amounts of judgments, excise taxes, fines, penalties and amount paid in settlement; and “expenses” shall include fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the indemnitee only (i) if the Corporation has not at its expense assumed the defense of the action on behalf of the indemnitee with reputable and experienced counsel selected by the Corporation, or (ii) if it shall have been determined pursuant to Section (c ) hereof that the indemnitee was entitled to indemnification for expenses in respect of an action brought under that Section.

(b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. Unless in a particular case advancement of expenses would jeopardize the Corporation’s failure to be described in Section 501(c )(3) of the Code, every indemnitee shall be entitled as of right to have his expenses in defending any action paid in advance by the Corporation, as incurred, provided that the Corporation receives a written undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay the amount advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

(c) Right of Indemnitee to Initiate Action; Defenses.

(1) If a written claim under Section (a) or Section (b) of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after such claim has been received by the Cooperation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter intimate an action to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such action.

(2) The only defenses to an action to recover a claim for indemnification otherwise properly asserted under Section (a) shall be (i) that the indemnitee’s conduct who such that under applicable law the Corporation is prohibited from indemnifying the indemnitee for the amount claimed, or (ii) that indemnification would jeopardize the Corporation’s tax exempt status under Section 501(a) of the Code or result in the Corporation’s failure to be described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, but the burden of proving any such defense shall be on the Corporation.

(3) The only defense to an action to recover a claim for advancement of expenses otherwise properly asserted under Section (b) shall be that the indemnitee failed to provide the undertaking required by Section (b).

(4) Non-Exclusivity; Nature and Extent of Rights. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Article VI shall (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any indemnitee may be entitled, (ii) be deemed to create contractual rights in favor of each indemnitee who serves the Corporation at any time while these By-Laws are in effect (and each such indemnitee shall be deemed to be so serving in reliance on the provisions of this Article), and (iii) continue as to each indemnitee who has ceased to have the status pursuant to which he was entitled or was designated as entitled to indemnification under this Article V and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of each indemnitee.
