Pursuant to this Section 1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages (compensatory, exemplary, punitive or otherwise), costs of attachment or similar bonds, judgments, fines and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case to the extent all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee's behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the defense or settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and in with a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed view to the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholdersCorporation, except and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnitee had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnitee's conduct was lawful; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated by a final, unappealable order or judgment by a court having jurisdiction over adjudged to have not met the parties and the subject matter conditions in Section 124(3) of the dispute from CBCA. [Comment: Section 124(4) permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents for expenses (which no further right would include legal counsel's fees) in derivative actions and actions by the corporation and for judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement of appeal exists such actions, with the approval of a court. However, where the individual does not fulfill the conditions in Section 124(3) (perhaps where the individual is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation corporation), Section 124(4) does not permit indemnification even for expenses. Thus, indemnification for derivative actions and actions by the corporation is significantly more limited than for third-party actions. The rationale for this distinction is that any liability for breach of fiduciary duty in a derivative action and actions by the performance of Indemnitee’s duty corporation is to make the corporation (on whose behalf the action was brought) whole for harm it suffered, and the corporation would not receive any benefit by indemnifying an individual against such liability. In effect, the corporation would be returning funds to the Corporation and its stockholders unless and only person liable to pay them. As with Section ‎1(a), Section ‎1(b) essentially tracks Section 124(4), except that it makes indemnification mandatory rather than permissible, subject to the extent that the court approval. Prior court approval is required for both indemnification and advances in which such action respect of actions brought by or proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances on behalf of the casecorporation against directors and officers. The requirement for prior court approval does not merely apply to derivative actions but also to actions on behalf of the corporation. Although advance funding should ordinarily be available, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem properwhere the corporation establishes a strong prima facie case of bad faith, even at the preliminary stages of the proceeding, advance funding will be refused. See Cytrynbaum v. Look Communications Inc., 116 OR (3d) 241.]

The Corporation With the approval of a court, Indemnitee shall indemnify be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section ‎1(b) if, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, the Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party is, or is threatened to be made made, a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, an officer and/or director, as the case may be, on behalf of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, by reason of any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement made or suffered by Indemnitee, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer and/or director, as the case may be, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer and/or director, as the case may be, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including without limitation employee benefit plans and administrative committees thereof. Pursuant to this Section ‎1(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), damages (compensatory, exemplary, punitive or otherwise), costs of attachment or similar bonds, judgments, fines and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Corporation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case to the extent all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee the Indemnitee, or on the Indemnitee's behalf, in connection with such Proceeding if the defense or settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and in with a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed view to the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholdersCorporation, except and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnitee had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnitee's conduct was lawful; provided, however, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated by a final, unappealable order or judgment by a court having jurisdiction over adjudged to have not met the parties and the subject matter conditions in Section 124(3) of the dispute from CBCA. [Comment: Section 124(4) permits indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents for expenses (which no further right would include legal counsel's fees) in derivative actions and actions by the corporation and for judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement of appeal exists such actions, with the approval of a court. However, where the individual does not fulfill the conditions in Section 124(3) (perhaps where the individual is adjudged to be liable to the Corporation corporation), Section 124(4) does not permit indemnification even for expenses. Thus, indemnification for derivative actions and actions by the corporation is significantly more limited than for third-party actions. The rationale for this distinction is that any liability for breach of fiduciary duty in a derivative action and actions by the performance of Indemnitee’s duty corporation is to make the corporation (on whose behalf the action was brought) whole for harm it suffered, and the corporation would not receive any benefit by indemnifying an individual against such liability. In effect, the corporation would be returning funds to the Corporation and its stockholders unless and only person liable to pay them. As with Section ‎1(a), Section ‎1(b) essentially tracks Section 124(4), except that it makes indemnification mandatory rather than permissible, subject to the extent that the court approval. Prior court approval is required for both indemnification and advances in which such action respect of actions brought by or proceeding is or was pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances on behalf of the casecorporation against directors and officers. The requirement for prior court approval does not merely apply to derivative actions but also to actions on behalf of the corporation. Although advance funding should ordinarily be available, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem properwhere the corporation establishes a strong prima facie case of bad faith, even at the preliminary stages of the proceeding, advance funding will be refused. See Cytrynbaum v. Look Communications Inc., 116 OR (3d) 241.]
