1. A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if:
   1. The director furnishes the corporation a document of the director's good faith belief that the director has met the standard of conduct described in § 48-58-502 or is immune from suit under § 48-58-601;
   2. The director furnishes the corporation a document, executed personally or on the director's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to indemnification; and
   3. A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this part.
