4.           Right of Indemnitee to Indemnification Upon Application; Procedure Upon Application.  Any indemnification under Section 3 shall be made or paid by the Company no later than 30 calendar days after receipt by the Company of the written request of Indemnitee therefor, unless a determination is made within such 30 calendar day period that the applicable Director has not met the relevant standards or other conditions for indemnification set forth in Section 3.  Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of members of the Board of Directors who are not parties to the Proceedings; (b) if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the vote are not parties to the Proceedings; (c) by Independent Legal Counsel selected by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company by vote as set forth in Subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 4, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained and such a committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors of the Company; or (d) by the stockholders in a vote that excludes the shares held by directors who are parties to the Proceedings (in any such case, the “Reviewing Party”).  In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled.  If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the State of Colorado having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

 

5.           Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party.  To the extent Indemnitee has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, such Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.

 

6.           Advances of Expenses.  The Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of a final disposition of such Proceeding at the written request of the Indemnitee, if (a) the indemnification is pursuant to Section 3 and the Company receives a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that he has met the necessary standard of conduct and other conditions for indemnification, and (b) such Indemnitee undertakes, in writing, to repay such amount if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such Expenses pursuant to Section 3.  Following such a request, statement and undertaking by such Indemnitee, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4, pay all invoices, statements or bills reflecting such Expenses submitted by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Expenses paid by such Indemnitee within 30 calendar days.  Any dispute as to the reasonableness of any Expense shall not delay an Expense advance by the Company, and the Company agrees that any such dispute shall be resolved only upon the disposition or conclusion of the Proceeding.  The Company agrees to pay the fees of any Independent Legal Counsel required by this Agreement and to indemnify such counsel against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

7.           Court Ordered Indemnification; Fees and Expenses.  The right to indemnification or advances as provided by this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Should any party hereto be required to employ an attorney to enforce or defend the rights of such party hereunder or in connection herewith, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party such prevailing party’s court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith.

 

8.           No Presumption.  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

 

9.           Indemnification Hereunder Not Exclusive.  The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of and shall be in addition to (but shall not be duplicative of) any other rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any agreement (including on any and all directors’ and/or officers’ insurance policies), any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.  The indemnification under this Agreement shall continue as to the Indemnitee, even though the Director may have ceased to be a director and/or officer (provided that the Claim arises from actions and/or omissions of the Director after the Change of Control Date) and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, as applicable.

 

10.         Partial Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses or Claims actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, appeal or settlement of any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or penalties to which such Indemnitee is entitled.

 

11.         Savings Clause.  If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and penalties with respect to any Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated.

 

12.         Notice.  Any notice, payment, demand or communication required or permitted to be delivered or given by the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been effectively delivered or given and received upon the date personally delivered to (or faxed to) the respective party to which it is directed, or five (5) business days after being deposited by registered or certified mail, with postage and charges prepaid to the Indemnitee, at 3176 South Peoria Ct. Aurora, Colorado 80014 and to the Company at 3176 South Peoria Ct., Aurora, Colorado 80014.
