Section 10-2B-8.53

Advance for expenses.

(a) A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if:

(1) The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 10-2B-8.51;

(2) The director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director did not meet the standard of conduct, or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 10-2B-8.51(d), unless indemnification is approved by the court under Section 10-2B-8.54;

(3) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Division E of this article.

(b) The undertaking required by subsection (a)(2) must be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

(c) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 10-2B-8.55.
