Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, provides that none of the Company’s directors will be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages resulting from a breach of the duty of care or any other duty owed to the Company as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Georgia law.
Article VII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by law for any liability and expense resulting from any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding resulting from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, including service at the Company’s request as a director, officer partner, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another entity.
An officer or director may only be indemnified for expenses and, other than in any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company, liabilities if he or she acted in good faith and, in the case of conduct in an official capacity, in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company and, in all other cases (other than criminal matters), in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not opposed to the best interest of the Company. An officer or director may only be indemnified in a criminal action, suit or proceeding if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding this requirement, any officer or director is entitled to indemnification of any expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to the extent such officer or director has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in such action, suit or proceeding.
Article VII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws also requires the Company to indemnify any person to the fullest extent permitted by law for any expense imposed upon or incurred in connection with acting as a witness or other participant in any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding resulting from the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, including service at the Company’s request as a director, officer partner, trustee, employee, administrator or agent of another entity.
The provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws regarding indemnification are consistent in all material respects with the laws of the State of Georgia, which authorize indemnification of corporate officers and directors.
The Company’s directors and officers are also insured against losses arising from any claim against them in connection with their service as directors and officers of the Company for wrongful acts or omissions, subject to certain limitations.
