(a) where such indemnification is expressly prohibited by applicable law;
(b) where the conduct of the indemnified representative has been finally determined pursuant to Section 13(f) or otherwise:
(i) to constitute willful misconduct or recklessness sufficient in the circumstances to bar indemnification against liabilities arising from the conduct; or
(ii) to be based upon or attributable to the receipt by the indemnified representative from the Company of a personal benefit to which the indemnified representative is not legally entitled; or
(c) to the extent such indemnification has been finally determined in a final adjudication pursuant to Section 13(f) to be otherwise unlawful.
(ii) Partial Payment. If an indemnified representative is entitled to indemnification in respect of a portion, but not all, of any liabilities to which such person may be subject, the Company shall indemnify such indemnified representative to the maximum extent for such portion of the liabilities.
(iii) Presumption. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the indemnified representative is not entitled to indemnification.
(iv) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 13:
(a) “indemnified capacity” means any and all past, present and future service by an indemnified representative in one or more capacities as a member, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or, at the request of the Company, as a member, manager, officer, director, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise;
