conduct necessary for indemnification have been met and a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust unless it is subsequently determined that the indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification and if a majority of the Trustees determine that the
applicable standards of conduct necessary for indemnification appear to have been met. In addition, at least one of the following conditions must be met: (i)&nbsp;the indemnitee shall provide adequate security for his undertaking, (ii)&nbsp;the
Trust shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii)&nbsp;a majority of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-Party Trustees, or if a majority vote of such quorum so direct, independent legal counsel in a written
