Introductory Note

On October 17, 2024, Spaceship Group MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Spaceship Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”, and together with Merger Sub, the “Buyer Parties”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with and into Squarespace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Squarespace” or the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), dated September 9, 2024 (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). Parent and Merger Sub were formed by affiliates of funds advised by Permira Advisers LLC. As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 9, 2024, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company, the A&R Merger Agreement amends and restates the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Original Agreement”), dated as of May 13, 2024, by and among the Company and the Buyer Parties. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the A&R Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, Merger Sub commenced a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) on September 16, 2024, to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), at a price per share of $46.50, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated as of September 16, 2024, as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time.

Pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of each of the applicable conditions set forth in the A&R Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Squarespace, with Squarespace (the “Surviving Corporation”) surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in the Introduction to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Introduction”) is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Merger, Parent, as the borrower, and the Surviving Corporation, as a guarantor, entered into that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Blue Owl Capital Corporation, as administrative agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the other guarantors from time to time party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $2,100,000,000, (ii) a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $300,000,000 and (iii) a revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $250,000,000. Parent is the borrower, and its direct parent company and certain of its subsidiaries are guarantors, under the Credit Agreement. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured on a first priority basis by substantially all assets of the borrower and the guarantors (subject to certain exclusions and exceptions). The Credit Agreement includes representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and other provisions that are customary for facilities of their respective types.

Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in the Introduction is incorporated into this Item 1.02 by reference.

On October 17, 2024, in connection with the Merger, all outstanding indebtedness under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated December 11, 2020 (as amended prior to the closing of the Merger, the “Company Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, was repaid in full, all commitments thereunder were terminated and outstanding letters of credit thereunder were cash collateralized. Additionally, the guarantees and liens securing the indebtedness under the Company Credit Agreement were discharged and released.

Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The Offer expired as scheduled at one (1) minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 11, 2024. The depositary for the Offer (the “Depository”) has indicated that, as of such time, a total of 46,971,451 shares of Class A Common Stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, together with the Shares constituting Owned Company Shares, satisfy the Minimum Condition. Specifically, (i) 46,971,451 Shares were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which together with the Owned Company Shares represents approximately 97.5% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares, (ii) 46,015,331 Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which represent approximately 77.7% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders, (iii) the shares of Class B Common Stock constituting Owned Company Shares represent 100% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iv) 46,971,451 shares of Class A Common Stock were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock constituting Owned Company Shares represent approximately 84.4% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case as of the Offer Acceptance Time, but excluding any Shares held in treasury by Squarespace as of the expiration of the Offer or any other Shares acquired by Squarespace prior to the expiration of the Offer (including any Shares acquired in connection with payment of the exercise price for the exercise of Squarespace Stock Options, and Tax withholding in connection with the exercise of Squarespace Stock Options or the settlement of Squarespace PSUs or Squarespace RSUs).

The number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition. As all conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived, Parent irrevocably accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Offer and will promptly pay for all such Shares in accordance with the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Parent acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of Squarespace pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. On October 17, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Parent effected the Merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Merger Sub merged with and into Squarespace, with Squarespace surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase by Parent in the Offer and certain Shares specified in the Merger Agreement (including Rollover Shares and Shares as to which the holder thereof has properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL), were converted automatically into the right to receive $46.50 in cash, net to the holder of such Share in cash, without interest, but subject to any applicable withholding taxes (which is the same amount per Share paid in the Offer).

In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding Squarespace Stock Option (other than Out-of-the-Money Options) that had vested by its terms as of the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of the excess of the Offer Price over the applicable exercise price per Share subject to such Squarespace Stock Option multiplied by the number of Shares subject to such Squarespace Stock Option. This amount (less any required withholding and other taxes) will be paid to the applicable holder no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Squarespace RSU and Squarespace PSU that had vested by its terms as of the Effective Time or was held by a non-employee of Squarespace was converted into the right to receive a lump sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of the Offer Price multiplied by the number of Shares subject to the applicable Squarespace RSU (subject to any prorated vesting) or Squarespace PSU. This amount (less any required withholding and other taxes) will be paid to the applicable holder no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Squarespace Stock Option (other than any Out-of-the-Money Option) that was then outstanding and not vested by its terms (other than any such award held by a non-employee of Squarespace) was cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into an award providing the holder with the opportunity to be paid an amount in cash equal to the product of the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the applicable exercise price per Share subject to such Squarespace Stock Option multiplied by the number of Shares subject to such Squarespace Stock Option (the “Converted Option Award”). Each Converted Option Award remains subject to the same vesting terms and conditions that applied to the associated Squarespace Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
2

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Squarespace RSU and Squarespace PSU (other than Forfeited Squarespace PSUs, as defined below) that had not vested by its terms as of the Effective Time (other than any such award held by a non-employee of Squarespace) was converted into an award providing the holder with the opportunity to be paid an amount in cash equal to the product of the Offer Price multiplied by the number of Shares subject to the applicable Squarespace RSU or Squarespace PSU (with the number of Shares subject to Squarespace PSUs determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement prior to the closing) (each, a “Converted Full Value Award”). Each Converted Full Value Award remains subject to the same vesting terms and conditions that applied to the associated Squarespace RSU or Squarespace PSU, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Out-of-the-Money Option, whether vested or unvested, was automatically cancelled as of the Effective Time for no consideration, and each outstanding Squarespace PSU that was scheduled to be automatically forfeited as of the Effective Time pursuant to its terms and the Merger Agreement was forfeited as of the Effective Time for no consideration (each, a “Forfeited Squarespace PSU”).

The description of the Offer and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the A&R Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 9, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is also incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 17, 2024, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that the NYSE suspend trading of the Class A Common Stock on the NYSE and withdraw the Class A Common Stock from listing on the NYSE prior to the opening of trading on October 17, 2024. The Company has requested that the NYSE file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the Class A Common Stock in order to effect the delisting of such shares from the NYSE. Such delisting will result in the deregistration of the Class A Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file a Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which will suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Class A Common Stock.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

2.
The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation.

SIXTH

Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

SEVENTH

A director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to this Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that to the extent required by the provisions of Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL or any successor statute, or any other laws of the State of Delaware, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to this Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Seventh to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of this Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Seventh by the stockholders of this Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of this Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of this Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

NINTH

Subject to such limitations as may be from time to time imposed by other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, by the bylaws of the Corporation, by the DGCL or other applicable law, or by any contract or agreement to which the Corporation is or may become a party, the Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this express reservation.

Unless the Corporation gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Tenth. The existence of any prior Alternative Forum Consent shall not act as a waiver of the Corporation’s ongoing consent right as set forth above in this Article Tenth with respect to any current or future actions or claims.

If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If electronically transmitted (in a manner consistent with Section 232 of the DGCL), then notice is deemed given when transmitted and directed to a facsimile number or electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice. An affidavit of the secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

When a meeting is adjourned to reconvene at the same or another place, if any, or by means of remote communications, if any, in accordance with Section 6 of Article II of these Bylaws, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

SECTION 5 QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If a quorum is present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting, such stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of such number of stockholders as may leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 6 ADJOURNED MEETINGS. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place (or by means of remote communications, if any) at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by a majority of the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place, if any, of the adjourned meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

SECTION 7 FIXING OF RECORD DATE.

(a)          The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof. Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b)          For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is established by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal office, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which the proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for determining stockholders’ consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c)          For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect to any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix the record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining the stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

SECTION 8 VOTING LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, (i) by a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to the stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, such list shall be the only evidence as to the identity of stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 8 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list.

SECTION 9 VOTING. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by each stockholder. When a quorum is present at any meeting, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except when a different vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. When a quorum is present at any meeting, directors shall be elected by plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by a proxy at the meeting entitled to vote on the election of directors.

SECTION 10 PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy (executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by the DGCL), but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may remain irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.

SECTION 11 RATIFICATION OF ACTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, any transaction or contract or act of the Corporation or of the directors or the officers of the Corporation may be ratified by the affirmative vote of the holders of the number of shares which would have been necessary to approve such transaction, contract or act at a meeting of stockholders, or by the written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting.

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as it shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

SECTION 13 ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.

(b)          Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.
5

(c)          An email, facsimile or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxy holder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxy holder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such email, facsimile, or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine:

(i)          that the email, facsimile or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxy holder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxy holder and

(ii)          the date on which such stockholder or proxy holder or authorized person or persons transmitted such email, facsimile or other electronic transmission.

Thereupon the Board may cause to be issued to such person or such person’s legal representative a new certificate or a duplicate of the certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or stolen. In the exercise of its discretion, the Board of Directors may waive the indemnification and bond requirements provided herein.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 1 INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person (or a person of whom such person is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
13

SECTION 2 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such a director or officer in defending any such Proceeding as they are incurred in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL then so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by such a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise; and provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to advance any expenses to a person against whom the Corporation directly brings a claim, in a Proceeding, alleging that such person has breached such person’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation, committed an act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or derived an improper personal benefit from a transaction.

SECTION 3 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of disinterested directors, or otherwise, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 1 of this Article VI shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

SECTION 4 INDEMNIFICATION CONTRACTS. The Board of Directors is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

SECTION 5 INSURANCE. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

SECTION 6 EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI and existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

(a)          The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum;
