Section 7.01. | | Scope of indemnification. |
| |
(a) | | General rule.—The corporation shall indemnify an indemnified representative against any liability incurred in connection with any proceeding in which the indemnified representative may be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving in an indemnified capacity, including, without limitation, liabilities resulting from any actual or alleged breach or neglect of duty, error, misstatement or misleading statement, negligence, gross negligence or act giving rise to strict or products liability, except: |
| |
| | (1) where the indemnification is expressly prohibited by applicable law; |
| |
| | (2) where the conduct of the indemnified representative has been finally determined pursuant to Section 7.06 or otherwise: |
| |
| | (i) to constitute willful misconduct or recklessness within the meaning of 15 Pa.C.S. § 1746(b) or any superseding provision of law sufficient in the circumstances to bar indemnification against liabilities arising from the conduct; or |
| |
| | (ii) to be based upon or attributable to the receipt by the indemnified representative from the corporation of a personal benefit to which the indemnified representative is not legally entitled; or |
| |
| | (3) to the extent the indemnification has been finally determined in a final adjudication pursuant to Section 7.06 to be otherwise unlawful. |
| |
(b) | | Partial payment.—If an indemnified representative is entitled to indemnification in respect of a portion, but not all, of any liabilities to which such person may be subject, the corporation shall indemnify the indemnified representative to the maximum extent for such portion of the liabilities. |
| |
(c) | | Presumption.—The termination of a 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 the indemnified representative is not entitled to indemnification. |
| |
(d) | | Definitions.—For purposes of this Article: |
| |
| | (1) “indemnified capacity” means any and all past, present and future service by an indemnified representative in one or more capacities as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or, at the request of the corporation, as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise; |
