Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(d), the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized by the Board of Directors.

In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Director or Stockholder is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

(v)

Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws of the Corporation, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(vi)

Amendment or Repeal. Any amendment or repeal of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Covered Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment or repeal.
