well as other employees and agents of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which such person is made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation&#151;a &#147;derivative action&#148;), if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person 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 such person&#146;s 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 action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where 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>
