The term “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(b) Third Party Actions. The Company shall and hereby does indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of such person’s being or having been the Manager or an officer of the Company against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts reasonably and actually incurred in, or in connection with, such Proceeding. The Company shall also have the power and authority to indemnify any person by reason of such person’s having been an Agent (other than the Manager or an officer) of the Company against all such amounts, such power to be exercised in accordance with Section 5.5(e). But in all events the Company shall indemnify such person (and shall authorize indemnification of such person) only if such

AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

person, in such person’s capacity as an Agent, acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and all Members and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, such person also had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon plea of nolo contendere shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith or in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company and all Members or that such person had reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

(c) Actions by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall and hereby does indemnify any person who is or was a party or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding, by or in the right of the Company, by reason of such person’s being or having been the Manager or an officer of the Company against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts reasonably and actually incurred in, or in connection with, such Proceeding. The Company shall also have the power and authority to indemnify any such person by reason of such person’s having been an Agent (other than the Manager or an officer of the Company) against all such amounts, such power to be exercised in accordance with Section 5.5(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify such person (and shall authorize indemnification of such person) only for those acts, omissions or transactions: (a) which did not involve any intentional misconduct by such person or any knowing and culpable violation of law by such person; (b) which such person reasonably believed were in the best interests of the Company and all Members; (c) which did not involve any absence of good faith by such person; (d) from which such person did not derive any improper personal benefit; (e) which did not show any reckless disregard of such person’s duty to the Company or to any Member in circumstances in which the Agent was aware, or should have been aware, of risk of serious injury to the Company or to such Member; and (f) which did not constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention to such person’s duty to the Company or to any Member, amounting to an abdication of such duty.

(d) Success Upon the Merits. To the extent an Agent of the Company has been successful on the merits in defense of any Proceeding (whether or not by or in the right of the Company) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify such Agent against any and all expenses reasonably and actually incurred by such Agent in connection therewith.

(e) Authorization of Indemnification. Unless this Section 5.5 provides directly for the indemnification of an Agent, indemnification shall be made by the Company hereunder only if it has been determined that the Agent’s indemnification is proper under the circumstances because the Agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 5.5(b) or 5.5(c) (as the case may be) and the indemnification has been Approved by the Management Committee.

(f) Indemnification of Non-Parties. The Company shall have the power and authority to indemnify any person who is not a party to a Proceeding but is involved therein as a witness or otherwise by reason of such person’s being or having been an Agent of the Company against any and all expenses reasonably and actually incurred therein in connection with such participation or involvement in such Proceeding. Any such indemnification of Agents which are not parties but are otherwise involved in such Proceedings shall be subject to authorization in accordance with Section 5.5(e).

AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

(g) Authority to Advance Expenses. The Company shall have the power and authority to advance all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Agent in connection with any Proceeding within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements from the Agent requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after the final disposition of such Proceeding. Such written statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Agent. The Company shall have the power and authority to require the Agent to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined by a final, non-appealable adjudication or arbitration decision that the Agent is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses. All amounts advanced to the Agent by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5(g) shall be without interest. The Company shall have the authority to make all advances pursuant to this Section 5.5(g) without regard to the financial ability of the Agent to make repayment, without bond or other security and without regard to the prospect of whether the Agent may ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification. Any required repayment of advance amounts by the Agent shall be made by the Agent to the Company within ten (10) days following the entry of the final, non-appealable adjudication or arbitration decision pursuant to which it is determined that the Agent is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses.

(h) Provisions Nonexclusive. Any indemnification provided by or authorized pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any agreement or contract, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. To the extent any agreement or contract is inconsistent with this Section 5.5, such agreement or contract shall take precedence. Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall affect any right of indemnification to which persons other than the Manager and the officers of the Company may be entitled, by agreement, contract or otherwise.

(i) Authority to Insure. The Company may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any Agent against any expense asserted against or reasonably and actually incurred by such Agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Agent against such expense under applicable law or the provisions of this Section 5.5.

(j) Survival of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided by, or authorized pursuant to, this Section 5.5 shall continue as to any person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

(k) Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any Agent under this Section 5.5 for (a) any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Company’s written consent (unless the Company has failed to indemnify or defend against such claim or action and the Company was obligated by this Section 5.5 to do so); or (b) any judicial award, if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action, but only to the extent of prejudice to the Company.

AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT

(l) Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Section 5.5 shall be wholly prospective and shall not affect adversely any right to indemnification of any Agent provided herein, or any elimination of any Agent’s liability provided herein, existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

(m) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Section 5.5, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnified Agent, who shall execute all documents that may be reasonable or necessary for the Company to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents reasonable or necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

(n) No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Agent to the extent the Agent has received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnified hereunder.

Section 5.6 Other Activities. Neither this Agreement nor any principle of law or equity shall preclude or limit, in any respect, the right of the Member to engage in or derive profit or compensation from any other activities or investments.
