Article VIII: Indemnification

Section 8.1 Indemnification.

The Corporation shall indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a director, officer, agent, member of any committee of the Corporation, fiduciary or employee of the Corporation against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred by such person made a party to a proceeding because such person is or was a Director, officer, agent, member of any committee of the Corporation, fiduciary or employee of the Corporation, or because such person is or was serving another entity as a director, officer, partner, employee, fiduciary or agent or member of any committee at the Corporation’s request.

Section 8.2 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a Director, officer, employee, fiduciary, agent or member of any committee of the Corporation, or who, while a Director, officer, employee, fiduciary, agent or member of any committee of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, partner, member, manager, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, nonprofit corporation, or other person or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from the person's status as a Director, officer, employee, fiduciary, agent or member of any committee of the Corporation.

Section 8.3 Limitation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8, the Corporation shall not indemnify any person or purchase or maintain such insurance, to the extent that any such indemnification, purchase, or maintenance would be determined to be an act of self-dealing within the meaning of Section 4941 of the Code, or to be otherwise prohibited under the Code, unless and to the extent (i) a court orders such indemnification, or (ii) the purchase or maintenance of such insurance can be treated as reasonable compensation to such person.
