KRS 271B.8-540: Court-ordered indemnification.
Where this section sits in the code
Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, 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 if it determines:
(1) The director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under KRS 271B.8 -520, in
which case the court shall also order the corp oration to pay the director's reasonable
expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification; or
(2) The director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the
relevant circumstances, whether or not he met the standard of co nduct set forth in
KRS 271B.8 -510 or was adjudged liable as described in subsection (4) of KRS
271B.8-510, but if he was adjudged so liable his indemnification shall be limited to
reasonable expenses incurred.
