amended, modified or rewritten to permit further limitation or elimination of
the personal liability of the director, the personal liability of the
corporation's directors shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent
permitted by the applicable law.

This Article shall not affect a charter or bylaw provision or contract or


resolution of the corporation indemnifying or agreeing to indemnify a director
