-859 of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act (the "LBCA") authorize a corporation to indemnify a director or officer of the corporation (or a person who, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person if he acted in good faith and, with respect to actions in an official capacity, in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, or, with respect to actions in all other cases, at least not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis of receiving a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the director's or officer's official capacity.

Unless ordered by a court, in the case of a proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation, the LBCA prohibits a corporation from indemnifying a director or officer of the corporation (or a person who, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise), except for expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by him in connection with a proceeding if, with respect to actions in an official capacity, he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or, in all other cases, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.

Under the LBCA, a corporation must indemnify any present or former director or officer of a corporation for expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if such person was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding, that he was a party to by virtue of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation. This mandatory indemnification requirement does not limit the registrant's right to

In accordance with the LBCA, Article 8
