(a) That the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of
the organization certificate, a by-law, a resolution of the board or of
the shareholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in
effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action
asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the
expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or
otherwise limits indemnification; or
(b) If there has been a settlement approved by the court, that the
indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to
indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the
settlement.

indemnification, otherwise than by court order or action by the

from the date of such payment, mail to its shareholders of record at the
time entitled to vote for the election of directors a statement
specifying the persons paid, the amounts paid, and the nature and status
at the time of such payment of the litigation or threatened litigation.

officers is taken by way of amendment of the by-laws, resolution of
directors, or by agreement, then the corporation shall, not later than
the next annual meeting of shareholders, unless such meeting is held
within three months from the date of such action and, in any event
within fifteen months from the date of such action, mail to its
shareholders of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of
