Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. (a) Whenever Indemnitee believes that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit a written request for indemnification to the CompanyCorporation. Any request for indemnification shall include sufficient documentation or information reasonably available to Indemnitee for the determination of entitlement to indemnification. In any event, Indemnitee shall submit Indemnitee’s 's claim for indemnification within a reasonable time, not to exceed five (5) years after any judgment, order, settlement, dismissal, arbitration award, conviction, acceptance of a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or final determinationtermination, whichever is the later date for which Indemnitee requests indemnification. The Secretary or other appropriate officer shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s 's request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has made such request. Determination of Indemnitee’s 's entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than ninety (90) days after the Company’s Corporation's receipt of Indemnitee’s 's written request for such indemnification, provided that any request for indemnification for Liabilities, other than amounts paid in settlement, shall have been made after a determination thereof in a Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the procedures set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply to any request by the Indemnitee for the advance of expenses, and shall not in any way prejudice Indemnitee's right to such advancement as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
(b) The Company Corporation shall be entitled to select the forum in which Indemnitee’s 's entitlement to indemnification will be heard; provided, however, that if there is a Change in Control of the CompanyCorporation, Independent Legal Counsel (as hereinafter defined) shall determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The forum shall be any one of the following:
(i) the stockholders of the CompanyCorporation;
(ii) a majority vote of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), even though less than a quorum;
(iii) Independent Legal Counsel, whose determination shall be made in a written opinion; or
(iv) a panel of three (3) arbitrators, one selected by the CompanyCorporation, another by Indemnitee and the third by the first two arbitrators; or if for any reason three (3) arbitrators are not selected within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the first arbitrator, then selection of additional arbitrators shall be made by the American Arbitration Association. If any arbitrator resigns or is unable to serve in such capacity for any reason, the American Arbitration Association shall select such arbitrator’s 's replacement. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association now in effect.
