11 which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or that the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification constitutes willful misconduct or negligence Successful Defense Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, to the extent that a person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 12.1 above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified by the corporation against all expenses (including attorney's fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts and witnesses, travel expenses and all other similar expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith Advance Payment of Expenses Subject to such terms, conditions and limitations, if any, as the Board of Directors may in its discretion determine to be appropriate, the corporation shall advance all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts and witnesses, travel expenses and all other similar expenses) reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of or other response to any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 12.1 above upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking the advance to repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined upon final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation under the provisions of this Article.
