Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party or otherwise involved (including involvement as a witness) to any threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit, proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, investigative (whether formal or informal), or administrative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) (the “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, either # had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was lawful or # had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, either did not have reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was lawful or had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, and subject to Section 27, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement

Burden of Proof. Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any adverse Determination (pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but not # of the definition of Determination in Section 1). In any action in which Indemnitee seeks indemnification, the Company shall have the burden of proving that indemnification is not required under this Agreement. The termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Notwithstanding any limitation in Articles III, IV or V, except for Article XXVII, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate Indemnitee if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding. No indemnification, hold harmless or exoneration rights shall be available under this Article VII on account of Indemnitee’s conduct which constitutes a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders or is an act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law.

The Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any suit to enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Agreement, and against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and the Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, including any suit by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses, to the extent the Indemnitee has been successful, in whole or in part, in any such claim.

To the extent that Indemnitee is not wholly successful in the defense of a Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all constituent claims, charges, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each successfully resolved constituent claim, charge, issue or matter.

in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, director emeritus, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless, as provided pursuant to Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company (or such provision as revised, amended or re-numbered), # such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, # the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, # such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or any other applicable law or # such indemnification is required to be made under Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company, or any such provision as revised, amended or re-numbered addressing the enforcement of an Indemnitee’s indemnification rights. . Indemnitee shall seek payments or advances from the Company only to the extent that such payments or advances are unavailable from any insurance policy of the Company covering Indemnitee.

Defense; Settlement. The Company shall have the right and obligation to control the defense or conduct of any claim or Proceeding with respect to Indemnitee unless Indemnitee, in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, elects to control the defense or conduct with respect to such claim or Proceeding. If Indemnitee so elects, Indemnitee shall provide written notice to the Company of such election no later than 30 days after Indemnitee submits notice of such claim or Proceeding to the Company. In the absence of a timely written election by Indemnitee, the Company shall assume the right and obligation to control the defense or conduct of such claim or Proceeding. Indemnitee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee or which could have been brought against Indemnitee or which potentially or actually imposes any cost, liability, exposure or burden on Indemnitee. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by persons other than the Company and includes an unconditional release of the Company by any party to such Proceeding other than the Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that the Company denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters.

indemnification of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other agreement or under applicable law or the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification for Indemnifiable Events, and/or

Partial Indemnity and Success on the Merits. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid or payable in settlement of a Claim but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in whole or in part, in defending a Claim (including dismissal without prejudice), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.
