  • Advancement of Expenses and Costs All Expenses incurred by or on --------------------------------- behalf of Indemnitee (or reasonably expected by Indemnitee to be incurred by Indemnitee within three months) in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid promptly by the Company, and in any event in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within sixty days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting from time to time such advance or advances, whether or not a determination to indemnify has been made under Section 9. Such statement or statements shall evidence such Expenses incurred (or reasonably expected to be incurred) by Indemnitee in connection therewith and shall include or be accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

It shall be a defense to any such action seeking an adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under this Section 8 where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Company) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights that said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its stockholders) 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 conduct.
