Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement nor termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not create a presumption that the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee's action was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct. In addition, the termination of or resignation by Indemnitee shall not create an adverse presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement nor termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct under Maryland law. Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, employees, or committees of the Board or the board of directors of the Enterprise, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or Enterprise or on information or records given in reports made to the Company or Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert or advisor selected by the Company or Enterprise. The knowledge and or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of any of the Company or the Enterprises will not be imputed to Indemnitee in a manner that limits or otherwise adversely affects Indemnitee’s rights hereunder. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to make a Determination that indemnification is payable nor an actual Determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to any action commenced by Indemnitee under or with respect to this Agreement, or create an adverse presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or applicable law. In addition, the termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Section 3.2 of this Agreement if any such judgment, order, conviction or plea involves Indemnitee being adjudged liable to the Company.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create an adverse presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement, it shall be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or payment under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 8.1; and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination pursuant to either of Sections 8.2 or 8.3 that is contrary to that presumption. In addition, the termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not affect adversely either the right of Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement or the presumptions to which Indemnitee is otherwise entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement nor create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have a particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. If Indemnitee is serving an employee benefit plan at the request of the Company or a Subsidiary, Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to the plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan shall be deemed to be not opposed to the best interests of the Company or the Subsidiary.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.
Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee (i) did not conduct himself or herself in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her conduct was (A) in the best interest of the Company or such other Entity, or (B) at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company or such other Entity; (ii) did not conduct himself or herself, to the extent such matter related to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the reasonable belief that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan, or (iii) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful.
