If the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act is amended to authorize elimination or further limitation of the liability of volunteer directors or officers, the liability of a volunteer director or officer of this Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act as amended, in addition to the limitation on personal liability already contained in these articles of incorporation. No amendment or repeal of this article shall apply or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any volunteer director or officer of the Corporation for or with respect to any act or omission of any volunteer director or officer occurring before the effective date of any such amendment or repeal.

The Corporation assumes liability for all acts or omissions of a volunteer director, volunteer officer, or other volunteer occurring on or after July 22, 1993, provided that all of the following criteria are met: a.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, the Corporation shall not be considered to have assumed any liability of a volunteer to the extent such assumption is inconsistent with the status of the Corporation as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or results in the imposition of tax under section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code. Indemnification 1. Proceedings Against Corporation Agents. The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (other than by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person (1) is or was a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation; or (2) is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, nondirector volunteer,or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or another enterprise. This indemnification shall be against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding. The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify the director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation only if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its members, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. 2. Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have the right to indemnify any person who was, or is, a party to, or is 2
threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending, or completed action or suits brought by or in the right of, the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is, or was, a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. The indemnification shall be against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit. The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify the director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation only if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or its members. However, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such actions or suits were brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. 3. Corporate Agent Successful in Proceeding. To the extent that a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred. 4. Determination that Indemnification is Proper. Unless ordered by a court, any indemnification shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the case at hand upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent is proper in the circumstances because that person has met the applicable standard of conduct by acting in good faith in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation or its members. This determination may be made in either of the following ways: (a) by the board upon a majority vote of a quorum consisting of board members who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested board members so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 5. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized in the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the board member, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. 6. Rights Not Exclusive. Further provisions may be made to indemnify directors or officers in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether contained in the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, a resolution by board members, an agreement or 3
otherwise, so long as such provisions are not in conflict with the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act. Nothing contained in the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than the directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise by law. Moreover, the indemnification provided in the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act continues as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors, and administrators of such person. 7. Liability Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, nondirector volunteer, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against that person and incurred by that person in any such capacity or arising out of that person s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify that person against liability under the Michigan Nonprofit Corporation Act. Inurement of Income. No part of the net earnings of the Corporation shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, any of its directors, officers, or other private persons, except that the Corporation shall be authorized and empowered to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of its charitable and educational purposes. Legislative or Political Activities. No substantial part of the activities of the Corporation shall be the carrying on of propaganda or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, and the Corporation shall not participate in or intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) any campaign on behalf of any candidate for political public office, except to the extent allowed by law. Operational Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation bylaws, the Corporation shall not carry on any activities not permitted to be carried on by a corporation exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or by a corporation, contributions to which are deductible under Section 170(c)(3) of the Code. The Corporation shall make such distributions at such times and in such manner as to comply with any applicable payout rules of the Internal Revenue Code.
