The Corporation may indemnify, and make advancements to, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to any such action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or such person’s testator or intestate, is or was an agent or employee (other than a director or officer) of the Corporation (or served another corporation or business entity at the request of the Corporation in any capacity), on such terms, to such extent, and subject to such conditions, as the Board shall determine, including payment, in advance of final disposition of any such action or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person in defending such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount consistent with provisions of applicable law.
In addition to the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that such person, or such person’s testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of any other corporation or business entity, of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, which any such person served at the request of the Corporation, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement (with the prior consent of the Corporation) and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, and the Corporation may pay, in advance of final disposition of any such action or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such person in defending such action or proceeding.
