If the Tennessee Business Corporation Act is amended after approval by the shareholders of this provision, to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, officer or incorporator then the liability of a director, officer or incorporator of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, as so amended from time to time.

9. 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 and whether formal or informal (hereafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or incorporator of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, manager or incorporator of another corporation, or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or incorporator or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or incorporator, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, as the same may 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 such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including but not limited to counsel fees, Judgments, fines, ERISA, excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or incorporator and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.
