under Section 8:1(b) of this ARTICLE VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall
be made as authorized in a specified case upon a determination that

such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority
vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or
even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
