Section 1 Indemnification
 
  The IGIC may, by resolution of the IGIC Board provide indemnification by IGIC of any and all of its directors or officers or former directors or officers against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, in which they or any of them are made parties, or a party, by reason of having been a director or officer of IGIC, except in relation to matters as to which such director or officer shall be adjudged in such action, suit, or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty and to such matters as shall be settled by agreement predicated on the existence of such liability for negligence or misconduct.
 
Section 2 Non-liability
  No Board member, officer, employee, member or other volunteer of IGIC is liable for the IGIC’s debts or obligations and a Board member, officer, employee, member or other volunteer is not personally liable in that capacity, for a claim based upon an act or omission of the person performed in the discharge of the person’s duties, except for a breach of the duty of loyalty to IGIC, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, or for a transaction from which the person derives an improper personal benefit.  If this limitation of liability is too broad, then the above provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent as provided by law.  The Board, officers, employees, members, and other volunteers of IGIC have agreed to serve in their respective capacities in reliance upon the provisions of this Article
