15 Pa.C.S. § 518

(a) General rule.--The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or pursuant to section 522 (relating to indemnification of authorized representatives) or any other provisions of law providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses applicable to any domestic corporation shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, members or directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office. Any domestic corporation may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations, whether arising under or pursuant to this section or otherwise.

(b) When indemnification is not to be made.--Indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) shall not be made in any case where the act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

(c) Grounds.--Indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, members or directors or otherwise may be granted for any action taken and may be made whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person under any other provision of law except

as provided in this section and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation. Such indemnification is declared to be consistent with the public policy of this Commonwealth.

(d) Payment of expenses.--Expenses incurred by an officer, director, employee or agent in defending any action or proceeding against which indemnification may be made pursuant to this section may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

(e) Rights to indemnification.--The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
