(4) if a determination is not made under clauses (1) to (3) by the shareholders, excluding the votes of shares held by parties to the proceeding; or

 

(5) if an adverse determination is made under clauses (l ) to (4) or under paragraph (b), or if no determination is made under clauses (I) to (4) or under paragraph (b) within 60 days after the termination of a proceeding or after a request for an advance of expenses by a court in this state, which may be the same court in which the proceeding involving the person’s liability took place, upon application of the person and any notice the court requires.
