- 3 -

(b) Indemnification Procedure. A party seeking indemnification from the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) hereof (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt notice to the Company of the assertion of any claim, including any claim brought by a third party, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Claim”) and shall give the Company such information with respect thereto as the Company may reasonably request, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Company of any liability hereunder except to the extent the Company has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Company shall have the right, exercisable by written notice (the “Notice”) to the Indemnified Party (which Notice shall state that the Company expressly agrees that as between the Company and the Indemnified Party, the Company shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Claim) within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any Claim, to assume the defense of such Claim, using counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim (A) seeking an injunction, restraining order, declaratory relief or other nonmonetary relief against the Indemnified Party (whether or not the Company is also named as a party) or (B) if the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) includes both the Indemnified Party and the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from those available to the Company; in which case such Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of a Claim of the type set forth in clause (A) and/or (B) above and all Damages in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Company to the extent provided in Section 13(a). In addition, if the Company fails to give the Indemnified Party the Notice complying with the provisions stated above within the stated time period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of the Claim and all Damages in connection therewith shall be reimbursed by the Company to the extent provided in Section 13(a) upon demand of the Indemnified Party. In any event, no party assuming the defense of any Claim shall have the right to compromise or settle any claim for non-monetary relief against the other party or any claim for monetary relief against another party without such party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or denied) unless such monetary relief is paid in full by the settling party.

If at any time after the Company assumes the defense of a Claim any of the conditions set forth above are no longer satisfied, the Indemnified Party shall have the same rights as if clause (A) or (B) in the preceding paragraph had been satisfied and the Company never assumed the defense of such Claim.

The Company or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall in any event have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Claim which the other is defending.

The Company, if it has assumed the defense of any Claim in accordance with the terms hereof, shall have the right, upon five (5) business days prior written notice to the Indemnified Party, to consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, or otherwise settle, such Claim unless (i) the Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary damages or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party such settlement would have a continuing material adverse

- 4 -

effect on the Indemnified Party’s business (including any material impairment of its relationships with customers and suppliers). In the case of (i) and (ii) above, such settlement may be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the Indemnified Party otherwise assumes the defense of a Claim, it shall have the right to settle such Claim only with the consent of the Company.

Whether or not the Company chooses to defend or prosecute any Claim involving a third party, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) Right to Advancement of Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 13(a) hereof.

(d) Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Member shall deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnitees, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Member shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under this Section 13 and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Person by this Section 13 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate, agreement or otherwise.

(f) Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of this Section 13 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

(g) Changes in Delaware Law. References in this Section 13 to law shall be to such law as it existed on the date this Agreement was executed or as such law thereafter may be changed; provided that (i) in the case of any change which limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Company may provide, the rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Section 13 shall continue as theretofore agreed upon to the extent permitted by law; and (ii) if such change permits the Company without the requirement of any further action by the Member to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Company was permitted to provide prior to such change, then the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.

- 5 -

(h) Applicability. The provisions of this Section 13 shall be applicable to all actions, suits or proceedings commenced after its adoption, whether such arise out of acts or omissions which occurred prior or subsequent to such adoption and shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Covered Person, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns of each Person covered by this Section 13.

Any remaining proceeds and assets shall be distributed to the Member.

(d) Certificate of Cancellation. Following the dissolution and the winding up of the Company, the Company shall file in the office of the Secretary of State a certificate of cancellation containing the information required by the Act.

(d) Rights of Creditors and Third Parties. This Agreement is entered into by the Member solely to govern the operation of the Company. This Agreement is expressly not intended for the benefit of any creditor of the Company or any other Person other than Persons to be indemnified pursuant to Section 13 and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Member or of such indemnified Persons. Except to the extent provided by applicable law, no creditor or third party shall have any rights under this Agreement.
