14.       Officers.  The Board may, from time to time as it deems advisable, appoint officers of the Company (the “Officers”) and assign in writing titles (including, without limitation, President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) to any such person.  Unless the Board decides otherwise, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office.  Any delegation pursuant to this Section 14 may be revoked at any time by the Board. In addition, the Board is authorized to employ, engage and dismiss, on behalf of the Company, any person, including an affiliate of any of the Members, to perform services for, or furnish goods to, the Company.

16.       Exculpation.

 

a)             Subject to applicable law, none of the Directors, the Members, any of their affiliates and each of their officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners and members and each Officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party,” each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement solely for purposes of Section 16) shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company, the Directors, the Members or any of their affiliates for any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in good faith and in a manner which such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company (including, without limitation, any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation), except (i) for any act taken by such Indemnified Party purporting to bind the Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any act or omission with respect to which such Indemnified Party acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional misconduct or fraud.

 

b)             To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Indemnified Party has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, the Directors or the Members relating to the Company Business, such Indemnified Party acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company, the Directors or the Members for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, modify or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Party otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Party, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

17.       Indemnification.

 

a)             To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless and pay all judgments and claims against any Indemnified Party, each of which shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement solely for purposes of this Section 17(a), in each case, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, fines, taxes and interest and penalties thereon (other than taxes based on fees or other compensation received by such Indemnified Party from the Company), claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable and documented legal and accounting fees and expenses, costs of investigation and sums paid in settlement) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by an Indemnified Party or by the Company for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Indemnified Party in good faith and in a manner which such Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company (including, without limitation, any act or omission taken or suffered by any of them in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of experts, including, without limitation, of legal counsel as to matters of law, of accountants as to matters of accounting, or of investment bankers or appraisers as to matters of valuation) in connection with the Company Business, except (i) for any act taken by such Indemnified Party purporting to bind the Company that has not been authorized pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any act or omission with respect to which such Indemnified Party acted in bad faith or engaged in intentional misconduct or fraud.

 

b)             The satisfaction of any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 17(a) shall be solely from and limited to the Company assets (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Company, its officers or employees are entitled to indemnification) and none of the Directors, the Members or any of their respective affiliates (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) shall be subject to personal liability therefor.

 

c)              To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount to the extent that it shall be determined by agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or, in the absence of such an agreement, upon final adjudication after all possible appeals have been exhausted that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

 

d)             The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of one or more Indemnified Parties and other persons against any liability which may be asserted against, or expense which may be incurred by, any such person in connection with the Company’s activities, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement; provided that

 

7


 

the Company will (or will cause one of its subsidiaries to) maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, at the cost of the Company and its subsidiaries, for the benefit of the officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

e)              The provisions set forth in this Section 17 apply to an Indemnified Party even after such Indemnified Party ceases to be a Director, Member, or an affiliate of the Directors or the Members, or ceases to be an officer, director, employee, shareholder, partner or member of the Directors or the Members, or an affiliate of the foregoing, or otherwise ceases to be an employee of the Company, but only with respect to such claims, judgments, losses or damages arising or incurred in, or relating to, the period during which such Indemnified Party was a Director, Member, or an officer, director, employee, shareholder, partner or member of the Directors or any of the Members, or an employee of the Company.

 

f)               Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 17, give written notice to the Company of the commencement of such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 17, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any such proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party (other than a derivative suit in right of the Company) and such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification from the Company hereunder, the Company will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (at the Company’s cost) to the extent that the Company may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of the Company’s election to assume the defense of such proceeding, the Company will not be liable for expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof.  The Company will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of such proceeding that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such proceeding and any related claim.

 

18.       Primary Obligation.  With respect to any indemnification claim asserted by an Indemnified Party who is or was employed, retained or otherwise associated with, or appointed or nominated by, the Directors or the Members or any of their affiliates and who acts or serves or acted or served as a director, officer, fiduciary, employee, consultant, advisor or agent of, for or to the Company or any of their subsidiaries, and for which such Indemnified Party may seek indemnification from the Company, the Directors, the Members or any of their respective affiliates, the Company or its subsidiaries shall be primarily liable for all indemnification, reimbursements, advancements or similar payments (the “Indemnity Obligations”) afforded to such Indemnified Party acting in such capacity or capacities on behalf, or at the request, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether the Indemnity Obligations are created by law, organizational or constituent

 

8


 

documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the fact that the Directors, the Members and any of their affiliates other than the Company and its subsidiaries (such persons, together with their respective heirs, successors and assigns, the “Investor Parties”), may have concurrent liability to an Indemnified Party with respect to the Indemnity Obligations, the Company hereby agrees that in no event shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries have any right or claim against any of the Investor Parties for contribution or have rights of subrogation against any Investor Parties through an Indemnified Party for any payment made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any Indemnity Obligation.  For the avoidance of doubt, any insurance coverage for any Indemnity Obligation provided, obtained or paid for by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Investor Party, on the other hand, shall be subject to the same primary and secondary liability hierarchy set forth in this Section 18, and the Company and its subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any insurance policies purchased or maintained by the Company or its subsidiaries reflect the foregoing.  In addition, the Company hereby agrees that in the event that any Investor Parties pay or advance to an Indemnified Party any amount with respect to an Indemnity Obligation, the Company will, or will cause its subsidiaries to, as applicable, promptly reimburse such Investor Parties for such payment or advance upon request.  The Company and the Indemnified Parties agree that the Investor Parties are express third party beneficiaries of Section 16, Section 17 and this Section 18.

 

19.       Elimination of Liabilities and Fiduciary Duties.  Neither any of the Members nor any of the Directors have any duties (including fiduciary duties) to any Member or Director, the Company or any other person, and any duties or implied duties (including fiduciary duties) of any of the Members or any of the Directors to the Company or to any of the Members that would otherwise apply at law (common or statutory) or in equity are hereby eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (including Section 18-1101(c) and (e) of the Act) and any other applicable law; provided, however, that this Agreement does not limit or eliminate liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

 

20.       Admission of Additional Members.  One (1) or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the unanimous written consent of the Members; provided that, as a condition of admission as a member of the Company, such additional member must execute a written joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Members representing a Majority Interest, under which such additional member agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

21.       Termination of Membership.  The rights of a Member to share in the profits and losses of the Company, to receive distributions and to assign its interest in the Company shall, on its bankruptcy devolve on its legal representative for the purpose of settling its estate or administering its property.

22.       Dissolution.

b)             Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the occurrence of a proceeding under title 11 of the United States Code with respect to the Company or any Member shall not result in the dissolution of the Company or in the cessation of the membership of such Member in the Company.  The withdrawal or resignation of a Member or the dissolution of a Member shall not, by itself, constitute a dissolution of the Company.

 

c)              In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner) and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act.

 

23.       Separability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.

 

24.       Tax Matters Member.   HPS Mezzanine Partners III GP, L.P., is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Member” and shall serve as the tax matters partner (within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Internal Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as in effect prior to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015) and as the partnership representative (as defined in Section 6223 of the Code as in effect after the enactment of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015).  All expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Member in connection with its duties as tax matters partner or partnership representative, as the case may be, shall be expenses of the Company.  The Company shall maintain capital accounts and allocate the income, gains, losses, and deductions of the Company, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among the Members in a manner that, to the greatest extent possible, reflects the economic arrangement of the Members under this Agreement and is consistent with the principles of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code, as determined by the Tax Matters Member.

 

25.       Tax Treatment.  The Members intend that the Company be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes (and any U.S. state income and franchise tax purposes where such treatment is available).  The Members shall file, and shall cause the Company to file, any and all tax forms, returns and elections consistent with such treatment.

 

26.       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof.

27.       Exclusive Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.  This Agreement and all actions (whether at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, shall be exclusively subject to and governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws or other principles which may result in the application of laws other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware.  All actions and proceedings (whether at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement shall be exclusively heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and, in the case of appeals, the appropriate appellate court therefrom), in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.  The parties agree that service of any court paper may be made in any manner as may be provided under the applicable laws or court rules governing service of process in such court.  The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (INCLUDING THE MEMBER) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

 

28.       Amendments.  This Agreement may not be modified, altered, supplemented or amended except pursuant to a written agreement executed and delivered by the Members holding a Majority Interest in the Company.
