P. 22

(i)    Subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth the Corporation may
               indemnify at the sole discretion of the District Board, any director, officer, employee or agent of
               the Corporation or of any organization that is being served as a director, officer, employee or
               agent at the request of the Corporation, and the heirs, executors or administrators, to the full
               extent permitted  by  law,  against  all judgments,  fines,  liabilities and reasonable  expenses
               (including, but not limited to, court costs  and  attorneys’  fees and any amount paid in any
               settlement), which judgments, fines, and liabilities and expenses were incurred or expended in
               connection with any claim, suit, action, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
               investigative, and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any action by or in
               the right of the Corporation or of any organization that may have been served by a director,
               officer, employee, or agent at the request of the Corporation, but such indemnification can be
               made only if a determination is made as hereinafter provided that such indemnification should be
               made.  Such indemnification shall not impair any other right any such person may have.

                              (b)      Said indemnification can  be made only if a determination  has been
               made, with the advice of Counsel for the Corporation, by members of the Board of Directors, not
               involved in the claim or proceeding, or by a disinterested person or persons named by said
               members of the Board of Directors not involved in the claim or proceeding, or by the members,
               or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion: (1) that the director, officer, employee or
               agent acted or failed to act in good faith and in a 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
               not reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, and (2) that the amount of the
               proposed indemnification is reasonable,  and (3) that the proposed indemnification is just and
               proper and can be legally made by the Corporation under then existing laws, and (4) that the
               indemnification shall be made by the Corporation in an amount stated in the determination.  The
               indemnification provided for herein shall be available so long as the act or failure to act giving
               rise to  the claim  for indemnification  is not determined  by  a court to  have constituted  willful
               misconduct or recklessness.

                              (c)      Advance Payment of  Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an officer,
               director, employee or agent in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be
               advanced by the Corporation, provided repayment arrangements are made, if it shall ultimately
               be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

                              (d)      Insurance or  Indemnification Fund.  The Corporation shall have the
               power to buy and maintain insurance and to establish and fund a self-insurance indemnification
               reserve fund on behalf of the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Corporation and a
               person serving at the  request of the Corporation as a director, officer,  employee, or agent of
               another organization, against liability incurred in any such capacity, or arising out of the person’s
               status as such.

                              (e)      Validity.   The invalidity of  any portion of this  Section 5.10  shall not
               affect the validity of the remainder hereof.


                              (f)      Personal Liability of Directors.  A Director of this Corporation shall not
               be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or any failure to take any
               action, unless: (i) the Director has breached or failed to perform the duties of the office in good




                                                                                                           16
