The right Board of Directors of the Company shall either (a) approve the indemnification and advancement of Expenses (i) by a majority vote of the Directors of the Company consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the Proceeding (“Disinterested Directors”), whether or not a quorum; or (ii) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors, whether or not a quorum; or (b) designate independent legal counsel (appointed by the Company and approved by Executive) who shall, within said 30-day period, provide a written opinion to the Board as to whether Executive has met the relevant standards of conduct for indemnification and advancement of Expenses. The obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to the payment of any Expenses, judgment, fine or advances as granted by this Article X penalty shall be enforceable subject to the condition that the independent legal counsel shall not have determined (in a written opinion) that Executive is not permitted to be indemnified under the applicable standards of conduct for indemnification. The obligation of the Company regarding the advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the independent legal counsel determines that Executive is not permitted to be so indemnified, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Executive (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Person Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid. If Executive has commenced legal proceedings (either before or after the determination by independent legal counsel) in any a court of competent jurisdictionjurisdiction to secure a determination that Executive may be indemnified under this Agreement or otherwise, any determination made by the independent legal counsel that Executive is not permitted to be indemnified shall not be binding, and Executive shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advancement of Expenses and shall continue to be entitled to the advancement of Expenses until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there has been no determination by the independent legal counsel or if the Corporation denies such request under this Article, independent legal counsel determines that Executive is not permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within forty-five (45) days. Such Indemnified Person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his Executive shall have the right to indemnification commence litigation in any court in the states of Colorado or advancesDelaware 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 independent legal counsel or any aspect thereof, in whole or in part, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct, if any, required by current or future legislation or by current or future judicial or administrative decisions for indemnification (but, in the case of any such future legislation or decisions, only to the extent that it does not impose a more stringent standard of conduct than permitted prior to such legislation or decision), but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, its independent legal counsel, and its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, if any, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, its independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conductproceeding.
