CHAPTER EVENTSOCTOBER 2013 CHAPTER MEETING OCTOBER 2013 CHAPTER MEETING FCPA and Global Anti-Corruption Programs: Emerging Issues, Trends and Best Practices

OCT 08OCT 08 UM - Dearborn Fairlane Center Campus - 19000 Hubbard Dr. Dearborn, Michigan 4:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is here to stay. So too is the expanding landscape of anti-corruption regulations, enforcement and media scrutiny around the world. Today, more than ever, companies operating domestically and internationally should understand their corruption risks and have effective programs in place to mitigate those risks. This discussion will go beyond an overview of the FCPA to a practical discussion of what your organization can do to help provide senior leadership, the Board, investors, customers and other stakeholders assurances that your company is operating ethically and corruption-free across the globe. This presentation will:

• Describe the ever changing landscape of anti-corruption legislation and enforcement around the globe

• Help your organization assess the design and effectiveness of your existing FCPA and global anti-corruption programs against regulatory requirements and leading compliance practices.

• Provide suggestions on how to develop a comprehensive global anti-corruption risk assessment model tailored and scaled to fi t your organization.

Speakers: Ed Williams is a Risk Advisory Services (RAS) Manager based out of Denver, Colorado and he has been with Experis Finance for 12 years.

Rose Thomas Pickrum, Assistant Regional Director, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Midwest Region. Rose has had a lengthy career as a Banking Regulator.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. Section 9.2 EXCEPTIONS. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter which a Governor, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court shall deem proper. Section 9.3 EXPENSES. To the extent that a governor, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. Section 9.4 DETERMINATION OF INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Governor, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1. Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Governors by a majority vote of a quorum (as defined in Article IV, Section 5 of these Bylaws) consisting of governors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Notwithstanding the failure or refusal of the governors, counsel and the members of the Corporation to make provision therefore, such indemnification shall be made if a court of competent jurisdiction made a determination that the governor, officer, employee or agent has a right to indemnification hereunder in any specific case upon the application of such Governor, officer, employee or agent.
