                              5.10   Indemnification.

                              (a)      Indemnification.


                                     (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
