(2) the individual reasonably believed:
- (A) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation, that the individual's conduct was in its best interests; and
- (B) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and

- (B) had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful.
- (b) A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of subsection (a)(2).
