HRS §414-250

Other indemnification rights are not cancelled

This section says the indemnification rules in this part are not the only ones. People can still get indemnification from other sources like bylaws, agreements, or votes. It also says the rules do not cover certain employee benefit plan fiduciaries, but those fiduciaries can still have their own contract rights.

The statute, as written — Nonexclusivity of subpart

(a) The indemnification provided by this subpart shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in a person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding the office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of that person. (b) This subpart does not apply to any proceeding against any trustee, investment manager, or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan in that person's capacity, though the person may also be an agent of the employer corporation. Nothing contained in this section shall limit any right to indemnification to which a trustee, investment manager, or other fiduciary may be entitled by contract or otherwise.
