 set forth in the statute. Washington law further provides that a corporation may, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or a bylaw or resolution adopted or ratified by the shareholders, provide indemnification in addition to that provided by statute, subject to certain conditions set forth in the statute. The HomeStreet articles require HomeStreet to (and the amended and restated articles will require it to) indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any actual or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation or, being or having been a director or officer, he or she is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent. This right to indemnification also includes the right to have HomeStreet pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The HomeStreet bylaws provide (and the amended and restated bylaws will provide) that HomeStreet may maintain insurance at its own expense to protect itself and any indemnitee against any expense, liability, or loss against which HomeStreet has the power to indemnify. HomeStreet has entered into indemnification agreements with all of its current and former directors and certain of HomeStreet’s current and former executive officers. Subject to certain limitations, these agreements require HomeStreet to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to HomeStreet, and to advance expenses incurred, under certain circumstances, as a result of any proceedings against them as to which they could be indemnified.
