     10.  Pursuant to, and to the full extent permitted by 
Section 102(b) and any other relevant provisions of the 
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, no 
director shall be liable to the corporation or its 
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary 
duty as a director, provided that this provision shall not 
eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any 
breach of director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or

faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing

     11.  Pursuant to, and to the full extent permitted by, 
Section 145 and any other relevant provisions of the General

shall, and is hereby obligated to, indemnify any person, or 
the heirs, executors, or administrators of such 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

or empowered, to make such indemnification, it being 
understood that, prior to making such indemnification, the 
corporation shall make, or cause to be made, such 
determinations or decisions, following such procedures or 
methods, as are required by said statutes.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands and 
affixed the corporate seal of said corporation as of this
