With respect to derivative actions, Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that "[a] corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor...
