If it is subsequently determined that any person who was indemnified or to whom expenses were advanced in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI was not entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses or both, by reason of the person having acted in bad faith or with active and deliberate dishonesty, or having personally gained a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled or otherwise, then such person shall promptly reimburse the Corporation for all such fees and expenses previously paid by the Corporation.
