The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or conviction adverse to such person or by settlement or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that such person's action was in the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.(b)Indemnification of Mandatory Indemnitees shall be required in all cases regardless of the capacity in which such Director or a Director of the Corporations Member is or was made or threatened to be made a party to the action, suit or proceeding.(c)Indemnification of Discretionary Indemnitees under subsection (a)(ii), unless ordered by a court or required by these Bylaws, shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances and in the best interests of the Corporation.

If there are fewer than five (5) disinterested Directors, the determination shall be based upon the opinion of independent legal counsel retained by the Corporation for such purpose. Such a determination once made may not be revoked and, upon the making of that determination, the person being indemnified may enforce the indemnification against the Corporation by a separate action notwithstanding any attempted or actual subsequent action by the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors of the Member.(4)Amended Article VII (Indemnification), Section 2 (Advances Against Expenses) added by a Mandatory or Discretionary Indemnitee and provided, however that advances for expenses incurred by Discretionary Indemnitees shall be made to the extent authorized for such Discretionary Indemnitee in accordance with Section 1(c) above. |
