TMS Bylaws: Article X. Indemnification



Section 1.
Except as otherwise provided herein, every person who is or has been a Director of Officer of the Society, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, is hereby indemnified by the Society against expenses and liabilities actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of either (1) any action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party defendant; or (2) any claim of liability asserted against him or her by reason of him or her being or having been a Director or Officer of the Society. Without limitations, the term "expenses" includes any amount paid or agreed to be paid in satisfaction of a judgment or in settlement of a judgment or claim of liability other than any amount paid or agreed to be paid by the Society itself. The Society does not, however, indemnify any Director or Officer in respect to any matter as to which he or she shall be finally adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties as such Director of Officer, not in the case of settlement, unless such settlement shall be found to be in the interest of the Society by (1) the court having jurisdiction of the action, suit or proceeding against such Director or Officer or of a suit involving his or her right to indemnification or, (2) a majority of the Directors of the Society then in office other than those involved in such matters (whether or not such majority constitute a quorum).
