After receipt of an application and after giving any notice the court considers necessary, the court may order indemnification or an advance of expenses in the following manner:(a)
If it determines that the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director’s reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.(b)
If it determines that the director is entitled to indemnification or an advance of expenses under section 7-109-109 (1), the court shall order indemnification or an advance of expenses, as applicable, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director’s reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification or advance of expenses.(c)
If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification or an advance of expenses in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in section 7-109-102 (1), failed to comply with section 7-109-104, or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in section 7-109-102 (4), the court may order such indemnification or advance of expenses as the court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability has been adjudged in the circumstances described in section 7-109-102 (4) is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.
