director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. Under

dividends or unlawful purchase or redemption of the corporation&#146;s capital stock); or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation eliminates such

trust or other enterprise, from any liability incurred as a result of such service to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Company may advance such person&#146;s related expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. </P>
