(b) The corporation may purchase insurance to protect and hold personally harmless its employees, agents, and board members from an action, claim, or proceeding arising out of the performance, purported performance, or failure of performance, in good faith, of duties for, or employment with, the corporation and to hold them harmless from expenses connected with the defense, settlement, or monetary judgments from that action, claim, or proceeding.
