Section 121-1004. Indemnification of general partner  


Latest version.
  • (a) No provision made
      to indemnify general partners for the defense of  a  derivative  action,
      brought  pursuant to section 121-1002 of this article, whether contained
      in  the  partnership  agreement  or  otherwise,   nor   any   award   of
      indemnification  by  a court, shall be valid unless consistent with this
      section. Nothing contained in this section shall affect  any  rights  to
      indemnification  to  which limited partners, employees and agents of the
      limited partnership who are not general  partners  may  be  entitled  by
      contract or otherwise under law.
        (b)  A limited partnership may indemnify, and may advance expenses to,
      any general partner, including a general partner  made  a  party  to  an
      action  in  the  right of a limited partnership to procure a judgment in
      its favor by reason of the fact that he, his testator or  intestate,  is
      or  was  a  general partner in the limited partnership, provided that no
      indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any general partner if  a
      judgment  or  other  final  adjudication  adverse to the general partner
      establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result
      of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to  the  cause  of
      action  so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial
      profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
