(a) the individual's conduct was in good faith;
(b) the individual reasonably believed that the individual's conduct was in, or not opposed to, the corporation's best interests; and

(a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the nonprofit corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the nonprofit corporation; or
