(ii) The net losses allocated pursuant to Subsection 7.1 (b)(i) hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of net losses that can be so allocated without causing any Limited Partner who is not a General Partner to have a Capital Account deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event some but not all of the Limited Partners (excluding the General Partner) would have Capital Account deficits as a consequence of an allocation of net losses pursuant to Subsection 7.1 (b)(i), the limitation set forth in this Subsection 7.1 (b)(ii) shall be applied on a Limited Partner by Limited Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible net loss to each Limited Partner who is not a General Partner under Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Subsection 7.1 (b)(ii) shall be allocated to the General Partner.
(c) In the event the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners are reduced to zero, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 7.1(b), an amount of net losses of the Partnership from operations as determined for Federal income tax purposes equal to (i) the Operating Deficit Loans made to the Partnership by the General Partner in that Fiscal Year, and/or (ii) optional loans made to the Partnership by any Partner(s) pursuant to Section 10 hereof in that Fiscal Year shall be allocated first to the General Partner and such Partner(s), in proportion to the principal amount of such loans; but all other Partnership net losses from operations as determined for Federal income tax purposes for that Fiscal Year shall be allocated in accordance with Subsection 7.1(b).
(d) All tax credits of the Partnership which give rise to valid allocations of Partnership loss or deduction will be allocated to the Partners in the same proportion as the loss and deduction giving rise to the credits are allocated to the Partners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, allocations of investment tax credits, if any, will be made in a manner consistent with governing Treasury Regulations.
7.2 Dissolution and Winding Up. All net gains and net losses of the Partnership, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and/or the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

Page 10 of 30
(ii) Next, to each Limited Partner, to the extent his Capital Account, after the allocation described in Subsection 7.2(a) (1) above, is less than his Capital Investment (the Capital Investment Deficit), in the same proportions as the Capital Investment Deficit in each Limited Partners Capital Account bears to the aggregate Capital Investment Deficits of all such Limited Partners, until the Capital Investment Deficits of all Limited Partners are reduced to zero;
(iii) Next, to the General Partner, to the extent of its Capital Investment Deficit; and
(iv) The balance, if any, to the Limited Partners and to the General Partner in proportion to their ownership of Partnership Interests.

(i) To the extent that the balance in the Capital Account of the Partners exceeds the amount of their Capital Investment (the Excess Balances) in proportion to such Excess Balances until such Excess Balances are reduced to zero;
(ii) Next, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts until the balances in their Capital Accounts shall be reduced to zero; and
(iii) The balance of such net losses, if any, to the General Partner.

7.4 Minimum Gain.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner and Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such persons share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership Property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d) or (ii) if such person would otherwise have a Capital Account
Page 11 of 30
deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Capital Account deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1 .704-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 7.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such section of the Treasury Regulations and for purposes of this Section 7.4(a) only, each Partners Capital Account deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such fiscal year.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7 except Section 7.4(a), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each person who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1 .704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such persons share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section l.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership Property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2), or (ii) if such person would otherwise have Capital Account deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Capital Account deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 7.4(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.4(b), each Partners Capital Account deficit shall be determined prior to any allocations pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to such fiscal year, other than allocations pursuant to Section 7.4(a) hereof.
7.5 Allocation of Certain Nondeductible Expenses. Syndication expenses and costs and any other items which are paid by the Partnership and which are nondeductible and nonamortizable for Federal income tax purposes, shall be allocated in the manner provided in Subsection 7.1.
7.6 Minimum Allocation to General Partner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, not less than one percent (1%) of the net income, net losses and credits from operations, and net gains and net losses from the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership shall, in all events, be allocated to the General Partner for each Fiscal Year, or part thereof, of the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.
7.7 Recharacterization of Fees and Guaranteed Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsections 7.1 and 7.2, in the event any fees, interest or other amounts paid or
Page 12 of 30

For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (1) no allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.9 hereof to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.4(a) hereof

Page 14 of 30

Section 9. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

(ii) The net losses allocated pursuant to Subsection 7.1 (b)(i) hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of net losses that can be so allocated without causing any Limited Partner who is not a General Partner to have a Capital Account deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event some but not all of the Limited Partners (excluding the General Partner) would have Capital Account deficits as a consequence of an allocation of net losses pursuant to Subsection 7.1 (b)(i), the limitation set forth in this Subsection 7.1 (b)(ii) shall be applied on a Limited Partner by Limited Partner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible net loss to each Limited Partner who is not a General Partner under Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Subsection 7.1 (b)(ii) shall be allocated to the General Partner.
(c) In the event the Capital Accounts of the Limited Partners are reduced to zero, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 7.1(b), an amount of net losses of the Partnership from operations as determined for Federal income tax purposes equal to (i) the Operating Deficit Loans made to the Partnership by the General Partner in that Fiscal Year, and/or (ii) optional loans made to the Partnership by any Partner(s) pursuant to Section 10 hereof in that Fiscal Year shall be allocated first to the General Partner and such Partner(s), in proportion to the principal amount of such loans; but all other Partnership net losses from operations as determined for Federal income tax purposes for that Fiscal Year shall be allocated in accordance with Subsection 7.1(b).
(d) All tax credits of the Partnership which give rise to valid allocations of Partnership loss or deduction will be allocated to the Partners in the same proportion as the loss and deduction giving rise to the credits are allocated to the Partners.

7.2 Dissolution and Winding Up. All net gains and net losses of the Partnership, as determined for Federal income tax purposes, in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and/or the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership, shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

(i) First, net gains shall be allocated to each Partner with a deficit Capital Account, in the same ratio as the deficit in such Partners Capital Account bears to the aggregate of all such deficits, until all such deficits are reduced to zero;
Page 10 of 30
(ii) Next, to each Limited Partner, to the extent his Capital Account, after the allocation described in Subsection 7.2(a) (1) above, is less than his Capital Investment (the Capital Investment Deficit), in the same proportions as the Capital Investment Deficit in each Limited Partners Capital Account bears to the aggregate Capital Investment Deficits of all such Limited Partners, until the Capital Investment Deficits of all Limited Partners are reduced to zero;
(iii) Next, to the General Partner, to the extent of its Capital Investment Deficit; and
(iv) The balance, if any, to the Limited Partners and to the General Partner in proportion to their ownership of Partnership Interests.

(i) To the extent that the balance in the Capital Account of the Partners exceeds the amount of their Capital Investment (the Excess Balances) in proportion to such Excess Balances until such Excess Balances are reduced to zero;
(ii) Next, to the Partners pro rata in accordance with the positive balances in their Capital Accounts until the balances in their Capital Accounts shall be reduced to zero; and
(iii) The balance of such net losses, if any, to the General Partner.

7.4 Minimum Gain.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership fiscal year, each General Partner and Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such persons share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership Property subject to Nonrecourse Liabilities, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(d) or (ii) if such person would otherwise have a Capital Account
Page 11 of 30
deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Capital Account deficit. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner and Limited Partner pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Section 1 .704-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 7.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. To the extent permitted by such section of the Treasury Regulations and for purposes of this Section 7.4(a) only, each Partners Capital Account deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to such fiscal year and without regard to any net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such fiscal year.
(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7 except Section 7.4(a), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership fiscal year, each person who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1 .704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such persons share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section l.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Partnership Property subject to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2), or (ii) if such person would otherwise have Capital Account deficit at the end of such year, an amount sufficient to eliminate such Capital Account deficit.

For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (1) no allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.9 hereof to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.4(a) hereof
(d) The Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations consist of all allocations pursuant to Subsections 7.4(b) and 7.10 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the Regulatory Allocations, the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the General Partner and the Limited Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations to each General Partner and Limited Partner shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such General Partner and Limited Partner if the Partner Nonrecourse Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (i) no allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(d) shall be made with respect to allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.10 relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant
Page 14 of 30
to this Subsection 7.12(d) shall be deferred to with respect to allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.10 hereof relating to a particular Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent this General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.4(b) hereof.
(e) The General Partner shall have reasonable discretion, with respect to each Partnership fiscal year, to (i) apply the provisions of Subsections 7.12(b), 7.12(c) and 7.12(d) hereof in whatever order is likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Regulatory Allocations, and (ii) divide all allocations pursuant to Subsections 7.12(b), 7.12(c) and 7.12(d) hereof among the General Partner and the Limited Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

Page 10 of 30
(ii) Next, to each Limited Partner, to the extent his Capital Account, after the allocation described in Subsection 7.2(a) (1) above, is less than his Capital Investment (the Capital Investment Deficit), in the same proportions as the Capital Investment Deficit in each Limited Partners Capital Account bears to the aggregate Capital Investment Deficits of all such Limited Partners, until the Capital Investment Deficits of all Limited Partners are reduced to zero;

Page 12 of 30
payable to the General Partner or its Affiliates are deducted by the Partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes in reliance on Code Sections 707(a) or 707(c) (or would so be if such payee were a Partner) and such fees, interest or other amounts are disallowed as deductions to the Partnership and are recharacterized as Partnership distributions, then there shall be allocated to the General Partner, prior to the allocations otherwise provided in this Section 7, an amount of net profit from operations (and to the extent such profits from operations are not sufficient, net gains described in Subsection 7.2 hereof) for the Fiscal Year in which such fees, interest or other amounts are treated as Partnership distributions in an amount equal to such fees, interest or other amounts treated as distributions.
7.8 Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Limited Partner (excluding the General Partner) has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership fiscal year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Limited Partner is obligated to restore and (ii) the amount such Limited Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)( 1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Limited Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Subsection 7.8 shall be made if and only to the extent that such Limited Partner would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Subsection 7 have been tentatively made without regard to Subsection 7.3 and this Subsection 7.8.

For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence (1) no allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be made prior to the Partnership fiscal year during which there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and then only to the extent necessary to avoid any potential economic distortions caused by such net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, and (ii) allocations pursuant to this Subsection 7.12(c) shall be deferred with respect to allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.9 hereof to the extent the General Partner reasonably determines that such allocations are likely to be offset by subsequent allocations pursuant to Subsection 7.4(a) hereof

8.3 Distributions in Kind. If any assets of the Partnership shall be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed to the Partners entitled thereto as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as such Partners would have been entitled to cash distributions if (i) such assets had been sold for cash by the Partnership for an amount equal to the fair market value of such assets (taking Code Section 770 1(g) into account), (ii) any taxable gain or loss that would be realized by the Partnership from such sale were allocated among the Partners in accordance with

The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. If so authorized, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

Annual meetings of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which they shall elect by a plurality vote a board of directors, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Written notice of the annual meeting stating the place if any, date and hour of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.
Section 4. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
Section 5. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation, may be called by the president and shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.
Section 6. Written notice of a special meeting stating the place if any, date and hour of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.
Section 7. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 8. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 9. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section 10. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 11. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such
action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Stockholders may, unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.
A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes herein, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (A) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (B) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized persons or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all such purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

In the event of the failure of the stockholders to fix the time or place of such first meeting of the newly elected board of directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the board of directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

A. Rights to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Tennessee Code as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue with respect to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in paragraph (B) hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation such indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however, that, if the Tennessee Code requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an undertaking), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article or otherwise.
B. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (A) of this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation (except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days), the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to

recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the corporation shall be entitle to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Tennessee Code. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Tennessee Code, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, or in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled under this Article or otherwise to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, shall be on the Corporation.
C. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Certificate of Incorporation or any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
D. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any indemnitee against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Tennessee Code.
E. Indemnity of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article or as otherwise permitted under the Tennessee Code with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
