threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or

exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for
amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent
that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of
competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
3. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against
expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in
