1. Permissible scope. A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this subchapter to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because the officer is an officer of the corporation:
A. To the same extent as a director; and
B. If the officer is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the corporation's articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the corporation's board of directors or a contract except for:
(1) Liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding; or
(2) Liability arising out of conduct that constitutes:
(a) Receipt by the officer of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled;
(b) An intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders; or
(c) An intentional violation of criminal law.
2. Dual capacity. Subsection 1, paragraph B applies to an officer who is also a director if the basis on which the officer is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer.
3. Mandatory indemnification. An officer who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 853 and may apply to a court under section 855 for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or an advance for expenses under those provisions.
