Presumptions; Burden of Proof and Persuasion Sample Clauses

Presumptions; Burden of Proof and Persuasion. In making a Determination of Entitlement, a Determining Party shall presume that (i) Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful and (ii) Expenses for which indemnification is sought were actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee. If Indemnitee relied on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and financial data, prepared by other directors, or by officers, employees or agents of the Company, or by counsel or public accountants retained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be presumed to have relied thereon in good faith and without any reason to doubt the competence or good faith of such persons. The presumptions herein created shall be rebuttable, but anyone seeking to rebut such presumptions shall have the burden of proof, and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence. In making a Determination of Entitlement, the Determining Party shall not impute to Indemnitee the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, or of any employee or agent of the Company. The termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (with or without court approval) or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reason to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful
