551 of the MBCA, dealing with unlawful distributions; or (4) for an intentional criminal act.

## Section 561 of the MBCA permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties, if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Sections 562 and 564 (c) of the MBCA provide that in a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation or its shareholders, indemnification may be made for expenses including attorney’s fees and an amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, but only with respect to a matter as to which they have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made if such person will have been found liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought has determined upon application that the defendant officers or directors are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

## Section 563 of the MBCA provides that a director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 561 and 562, or in defense of a claim, issue or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding shall be indemnified against actual and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by him or
her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, and an action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce this mandatory indemnification.
