(a) A corporation may, before final disposition of a proceeding, advance funds to pay for or reimburse expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding by an individual who is a party to the proceeding because that individual is a director if the director delivers to the corporation a signed written undertaking of the director to repay any funds advanced if the director is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 30-29-852, Idaho Code; and it is ultimately determined under section 30-29-854 or 30-29-855, Idaho Code, that the director is not entitled to indemnification.
