(1)&nbsp;the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and (2)&nbsp;the director&#146;s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes: (a)&nbsp;a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had

willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property. A judgment or other final adjudication against a director in any criminal proceeding for a violation of the criminal law estops that director from contesting the fact that his or her breach, or
failure to perform, constitutes a violation of the criminal law; but does not estop the director from establishing that he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe that his or
