of incorporation or bylaws; (iv) the rights of the Indemnitee under the
Indemnification Agreement are in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee
may have under the Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws or the

Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors' and
officers' liability insurance, the Indemnitee will be covered to the maximum
