2.8 Limitations on Liability of Manager(s) and Officers; Indemnification.

(a) Limited Liability.

(i) No person who is or was a Manager or former director of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto shall be personally liable to the Company for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Manager or former director unless, and only to the extent that, such Manager or former director is liable [a] for any breach of the Manager’s or former director’s duty of loyalty to the Company, its Member or its former stockholders, [b] for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, [c] under the Act or Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto, or [d] for any transaction from which the Manager or former director derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to, repeal, or adoption of any provision of the Memorandum of Organization inconsistent with this Section shall apply to or have any effect on any liability of any Manager or former director of the Company for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such Manager or former director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of any inconsistent provision. If the Act or the DGCL is amended after approval by the Member of this Section to authorize action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Managers or former directors then the liability of a Manager or former director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Act or the DGCL as so amended.

(ii) The Company is authorized to provide indemnification of agents (as provided in Section 18-108 of the Act and Section 145 of the DGCL) for any breach of duty to the Company and its Member and former stockholders through agreements with the agents, and/or through Member resolutions, or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 18-108 of the Act and Section 145 of the DGCL.

(iii) Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Section 2.8(a) shall be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Section 2.8(a) in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

(b) Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than any action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a

 

4


Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto as a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(ii) The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto, or is serving at the request of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto as a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of any such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company or any predecessor entity thereto unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(iii) To the extent that a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.8(b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

5


(iv) Any indemnification under Sections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.8(b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be promptly made in good faith by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Manager, director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections (i) and (ii). Such determination shall be made [a] by the Manager(s) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Manager(s) who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or [b] if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested Manager(s) so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or [c] by the Member of the Company.

(v) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a Manager, director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Manager, director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company or any predecessor entity thereto pursuant to this Section 2.8(b). Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Manager(s) of the Company deem(s) appropriate.

(vi) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other provisions of this Section 2.8(b) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, former bylaw, agreement, resolution of the Member or former stockholders or disinterested Manager(s) or directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(vii) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any predecessor entity thereto as a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company or any predecessor entity thereto would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 18-108 of the Act or Section 145 of the DGCL.

(viii) For purposes of this Section 2.8(b), references to “the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which,

 

6


if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its managers, directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the position under the provisions of this Section 2.8(b) with respect to the resulting or surviving company as he would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued.

(ix) For purposes of this Section 2.8(b), references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves service by, such Manager, director, officer, employee or agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Section 2.8(b).

(x) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 2.8(b) shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Manager, director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting of the Manager(s) need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

In the event that the Member appoints more than one Manager, the presence of a majority of the Manager(s) at any meeting of the Manager(s) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a majority of the Manager(s) present (though less than such quorum) may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

8


presumed to have assented to the action taken unless the Manager objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, or unless his dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless the Manager files his written dissent to the action with the person acting as the Secretary of the meeting before or within ten (10) days after the adjournment thereof. The right to dissent does not apply to a Manager who voted in favor of the action.

3.11 Unanimous Consent without Meeting. Any action required or permitted by this Memorandum of Organization or any provision of law to be taken by the Manager(s) at a meeting or by resolution may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the Manager(s) then in office.
