LASERCARD CORPORATION INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT FOR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Exhibit (e)(6)

LASERCARD CORPORATION

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT FOR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Preamble

This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective the      day of             , by and between LaserCard Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              (“Indemnitee”).

Recitals

A. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in obtaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance, and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance.

B. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited and is not currently available to the Company.

C. Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other officers and directors of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve as officers and director without additional protection.

D. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

Agreement

Based upon the facts and premises contained in the above Recitals and in consideration of the mutual promises below, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

1. Statutory Indemnification.

(a) Third Party Proceedings. Except as provided in Section 1(d) below, the Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, or agent of another

1

corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 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 Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. Except as provided in Section 1(d) below, the Company agrees to indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee while an officer or director, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or 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, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses or judgments which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) Mandatory Payment of Expenses. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice or the settlement of an action without admission of liability, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsections 1(a) and (b) above or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(d) Determination Not Entitled to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted or not prohibited by law, no claim for indemnification under Sections 1(a) and (b) above shall be denied by the Company (except pursuant to a court order) unless a determination is reasonably made within six (6) months of Indemnitee’s request to the Company for such indemnification (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not

2

obtainable, or if such a quorum is obtainable and so directs, by independent legal counsel (chosen either jointly by the Company and Indemnitee or else by counsel to the Company) in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 1(a), 1(b), or 1(c) above; provided, however, that for purposes of triggering this six (6)-month period, such request by Indemnitee is made after final adjudication, dismissal, or settlement, unless appealed, in which case the request is made after the appeal is resolved.

2. Other Indemnification.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted or not prohibited by law, regardless of whether such indemnification is authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or by statute.

3. Agreement to Serve.

In consideration in part of the protection afforded by this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees to become a director or officer of the Company, as the case may be. Indemnitee agrees to continue to serve in such capacity at the will of the Company (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists) so long as he is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the By-Laws of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or until such time as he tenders his resignation in writing. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment or retention as an officer and/or director of the Company.

4. Expenses, Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 1(a) or (b) hereof. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company.

(b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days of Indemnitee’s notice thereof, of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement.

(c) Procedure. Any indemnification provided for in Sections 1 and 2 shall be made no later than six (6) months after the Company is given notice of request by Indemnitee, provided that such request is made after final adjudication, dismissal, or settlement unless an appeal is filed, in which case the request is made after the appeal is resolved. Upon such notice, the Company shall within two (2) weeks call a Board of Directors meeting to be held within two (2) months of such notice to make a determination as to whether the Indemnitee has met the

3

applicable standard of conduct. The Company shall retain (at the Company’s expense) independent legal counsel chosen either jointly by the Company and Indemnitee or else by Company counsel within two (2) weeks to make such determination, if at such meeting a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the relevant action, suit, or proceeding is not obtainable, or if obtainable, such quorum refuses to make such determination, but so directs the Company. If such legal counsel is not so retained or does not make such determination within six (6) weeks, then the Board of Directors shall cause a stockholders meeting to be held within two (2) months to make such a determination.

If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws providing for indemnification or advance of expenses, is not paid in full by the Company within sixty (60) days in case of indemnification and twenty (20) days in case of advance of expenses after notice of a request for payment thereof has been given to by the Company by Indemnitee, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or the expense advance and, subject to Section 15 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed. Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payment of expenses pursuant to Subsection 4(a) unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(d) Notice of Insurers. If, at the time of notice of a claim pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, the Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.

(e) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 4(a) hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that

4

there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.

5. Additional Indemnification Rights: Nonexclusivity.

(a) Legal Change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute, or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute, or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ right and obligations hereunder.

(b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its By-Laws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding such office (an “Indemnified Capacity”). The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an Indemnified Capacity even through he may have ceased to serve in an Indemnified Capacity at the time of any action, suit or other covered proceeding.

6. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses, judgment, fines, or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal, or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines, or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

7. Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or public policy may override applicable state law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. For example, the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has taken the position that indemnification is not permissible for liabilities arising under certain federal securities laws, and federal legislation prohibits indemnification for certain ERISA violations. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit questions of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

8. Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. The Company shall, form time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the directors and officers of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such

5

insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.

9. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, or of his spouse, heirs, or estate, who or which shall execute all papers required by the Company and shall do such other things as may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including (without limitation) the execution of such documents as may in the Company’s judgment be necessary to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to enforce such rights.

10. Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of the Agreement. If the application of any provision or provisions of the Agreement to any particular facts or circumstances shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) the validity and enforceability of such provision or provisions as applied to any other particular facts or circumstances and the validity of other provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) such provision(s) shall be reformed without further action by the parties to make such provision(s) valid and enforceable when applied to such facts and circumstances with a view toward requiring Company to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permissible or not prohibited by law.

11. Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims (except counter-claims or cross claims) initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it to be appropriate; or

(b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

6

(c) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company; or

(d) Claims under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

12. Construction of Certain Phrases.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees, or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes or penalties assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan. Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement maybe executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.

14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s estate, heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.

15. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof. Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action, unless as a part of such action, the court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action

7

were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid all court costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action the court determines that each of Indemnitee’s material defenses to such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.

16. Notice. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown under Authorized Signatures at the end of this Agreement, or as subsequently modified by written notice.

17. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph and subparagraph headings in this Agreement are solely for convenience and shall not be considered in its interpretation.

18. Waiver. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of the Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition or of any subsequent breach thereof.

19. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This instrument contains the entire integrated Agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, whether written or oral except for the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. It may be amended only by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of Company and Indemnitee.

20. Choice of Law and Forum. Except for that body of law governing choice of law, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, internal laws of the State of Delaware which govern transactions between Delaware residents. The parties agree that any suit or proceeding in connection with, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted only in a court (whether federal or state) located in Santa Xxxxx County in the State of California, and the parties, for the purpose of any such suit or proceeding, irrevocably agree and submit to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such suit or proceeding and agree that service of process may be effected in the same manner that notice is given pursuant to Section 16 above.
