Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of Expenses, under this Section 6.3 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
As a condition to indemnification or the advance payment or reimbursement of Expenses, any demand for payment by Indemnitee hereunder shall be in writing and shall provide reasonable accounting for the amount to be paid by the Corporation (but which, for avoidance of doubt, in the case of expenses in connection with legal services, need not include any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that might cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law).
For the purposes of thisby-law, the term “Indemnitee” shall mean any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or manager of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether the basis of such action, suit or proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or manager or in any other capacity while serving as such a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or manager; the term “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent entity (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents or managers, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or manager of such constituent entity, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or manager of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Section 6.3 with respect to the resulting or surviving entity as such person would have with respect to such constituent entity if its separate existence had continued; the term “other enterprise” shall include employee benefit plans; service “at the request of the Corporation” shall include, among other possibilities, service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries, and any director or officer of the Corporation serving as a director, officer, trustee or manager of a direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed to so serve “at the request of the Corporation”; a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation”; the term “Expenses” shall include all reasonable out of pocket fees, costs and expenses, including without limitation, attorney’s fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan, Federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under thisby-law, penalties and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with defending, preparing to defend, or investigating an actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding (including Indemnitee’s (i) affirmative defenses in connection with a claim not initiated by Indemnitee and (ii) mandatory counterclaims in connection with any claim not initiated by Indemnitee (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, “Permitted Counterclaims”) in such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, but shall exclude the costs of any of Indemnitee’s counterclaims, other than Permitted Counterclaims.
Any action, suit or proceeding regarding indemnification or advance payment or reimbursement of Expenses arising out of theseby-laws or otherwise shall only be brought and heard in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. In the event of any payment under thisby-law, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (under any insurance policy or otherwise), who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights. Except as required by law or as otherwise becomes public, Indemnitee will keep
