The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, 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 that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

The termination of any action or suit by judgment or settlement shall not of itself create presumption that the person did not action in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

Anyone making such a determination under this Section 8.2(d) may determine that a person has met the standards therein set forth as to some claims, issues or matters but not as to others, and may reasonably prorate amounts to be paid as indemnification.

            (e) ADVANCES. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation, at any time or from time to time in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in Section 8.2(d) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, trustee, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall be ultimately be determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section 8.2.
