                    SECTION 7. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

 

1.

ISA shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, ISA), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of ISA or is or was serving at the request of ISA as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appear thereof, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of ISA and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner




 

 

 

 

 

which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of ISA or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

 

2.

ISA shall indemnify any person, who was or is a party to any proceeding by or in the right of ISA to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of ISA or is or was serving at the request of ISA as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof. Such indemnification shall be authorized if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of ISA, except that no indemnification shall be made under this subsection in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such proceeding was brought, or any other court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense which such court shall deem proper.

 

 

3.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of ISA has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in subsection (1) or subsection (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

 

 

4.

Any indemnification under subsection (1) or subsection (2), unless pursuant to a determination by a court, shall be made by ISA only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsection (1) or subsection (2). Such determination shall be made:

 

 

 

a.

By the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such proceeding;

 

 

 

 

b.

If such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding;

 

 

 

 

c.

By independent legal counsel:

 

 

 

 

 

1.

Selected by the board of directors prescribed in paragraph (a) or the committee prescribed in paragraph (b); or

 

 

 

2.

If a quorum of the directors cannot be obtained for paragraph




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a) and the committee cannot be designated under paragraph

 

 

 

(b), selected by majority vote of the full board of directors (in which directors who are parties may participate); or

 

 

 

 

 

d.

By the shareholders by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding or, if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who were not parties to such proceeding.

 

 

5.

Evaluation of the reasonableness of expenses and authorization of indemnification shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible. However, if the determination of permissibility is made by independent legal counsel, persons specified by paragraph 4(c) shall evaluate the reasonableness of expenses and may authorize indemnification.

 

 

6.

Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by ISA in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by ISA pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions that the board of directors deems appropriate.

 

 

7.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to this section are not exclusive, and ISA may make any other or further indemnification or advancement of expenses of any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee, or agent if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute:

 

 

a.

A violation of the criminal law, unless the director, officer, employee, or agent had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;

 

 

 

 

b.

A transaction from which the director, officer, employee, or agent derived an improper personal benefit;

 

 

 

 

c.

In the case of a director, a circumstance under which the liability provision of Florida Statute 607.0834 are applicable; or

 

 

 

 

d.

Willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of ISA in a proceeding by or in the right of ISA to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

 

 

 

8.

Indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in this section shall constitute, as unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer,




 

 

 

 

employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified.

 

 

 

9.

Unless ISA’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, notwithstanding the failure of ISA to provide indemnification, and despite any contrary determination of the board of the shareholders in the specific case, a director, officer, employee, or agent of ISA who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, to the court conducting the proceeding, to the circuit court, or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice that it considers necessary, may order indemnification and advancement of expenses, including expenses incurred in seeking court ordered indemnification ro advancement of expense, if it determines that:

 

 

 

 

a.

The director, officer, employee, or agent is entitled to mandatory indemnification under subsection (3), in which case the court shall also order ISA to pay the director reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses;

 

 

 

 

b.

The director, officer, employee, or agent is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, by virtue of the exercise by ISA of its power pursuant to subsection (7); or

 

 

 

 

c.

The director, officer, employee, or agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses, or both, in view of all the relevant circumstances, regardless of whether such person met the standard of conduct set forth in subsection (1), subsection (2), or subsection (7).
