Determination<\/h4>\n\n<p>\n  The Chapter may not indemnify an authorized representative who is not a qualified authorized representative under Section 1 of this Article unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the authorized representative is permissible in the circumstances because the authorized representative has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  The determination shall be made by:\n<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n  <li>\n    The board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors whether or not at the time are parties to the proceeding;\n  <\/li>\n\n  <li>\n    If a quorum cannot be obtained under this Section, majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two (2) or more directors not at the time parties to the proceedings;\n  <\/li>\n\n  <li>\n    legal counsel:\n\n    <ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-alpha\">\n      <li>\n        Selected by the board of directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in this Section; or\n      <\/li>\n\n      <li>\n        If a quorum of the board cannot be obtained under this Section and a committee cannot be designated under this Section, selected by majority vote of the full board of directors (in which selection directors who are parties may participate); or\n      <\/li>\n    <\/ol>\n  <\/li>\n\n  <li>\n    The members, but directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding may not vote on the determination.\n  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>\n  Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled under this Section to select counsel.\n<\/p>\n\n<h4>Section 5. Insurance<\/h4>\n\n<p>\n  The Chapter may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was an authorized representative of the Chapter, or who, while an authorized representative of the Chapter, is or was serving at the request of the Chapter as a director, member, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic business or nonprofit corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from the individual's status as an authorized representative, whether or not the Chapter would have power to indemnify the individual against the same liability under this Article.\n<\/p>\n\n<h4>Section 6. Notice to Voting Members of Indemnification<\/h4>\n\n<p>\n  If the Chapter indemnifies or advances expenses to an authorized representative under this part in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Chapter, the Chapter shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the voting members with or before the notice of the next voting members' meeting.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  If the next voting member action after the indemnification or advance is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, the notice shall be given to the voting members at or before the time the first voting member signs a writing consenting to the action.\n<\/p>\n\n<h4>Section 7.

Definitions<\/h4>\n\n<p>\n  For purpose of this Article, the term \u201cauthorized representative\u201d shall mean a director, member, officer, employee, or agent (including each former director, member, officer, employee, or agent) of the Chapter or of any corporation controlled by the Chapter, or a trustee, custodian, administrator, committeeman, or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan established and maintained by the Chapter or a person serving another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise in any of the foregoing capacities at the request of the Chapter.\n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n  For purposes of this Article, references to \"the Chapter'' shall include, in addition to the surviving corporation, any merging corporation (including any corporation having merged with a merging corporation) absorbed in a merger involving the Chapter which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, members, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who was a director, member, officer, employee or agent of such merging corporation, or was serving at the request of such merging corporation as a director, member, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with respect to the surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such merging corporation if its separate existence had continued.\n<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c_sidebar_list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"toolkit_link\" href=\"#\">ARTICLE VIII.
