  (iv)   To clarify consistent with Delaware law, that (i) a director who has a direct or indirect interest in a transaction with the Company will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at any meeting of the Board or a committee thereof at which such transaction is considered or authorized; and (ii) the director may participate at such meeting and vote on such authorization if the material facts as to such director’s interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum.
 
  (v)   To clarify that directors and officers of all of the Company’s subsidiaries as well as fiduciaries of their employment benefit plan are eligible for indemnification by the Company.
