Official statutory text
35-2-450 . Court-ordered indemnification. Unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, a director of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the amount it considers proper if it determines that the director:
(1) is entitled to mandatory indemnification under 35-2-448 , in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification; or
(2) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in 35-2-447 (1) or was adjudged liable as described in 35-2-447 (4). If the director was adjudged liable, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred.
