investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation &#150; a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification in which the person seeking indemnification has been found liable
to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation&#146;s bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise. </P>

(b)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)&nbsp;payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (d)&nbsp;any transaction from which the
