Section 10.04 Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Section 10.01 or Section 10.02 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.01 or Section 10.02. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders.
Section 10.05 Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article X. Any such expenses incurred by an employee or agent of the corporation at its discretion may be paid by the corporation upon receipt of such an undertaking.
Section 10.06 Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any other bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in a person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
