Indemnifiable Losses will be reasonably allocated to the Company by the Member.
5
(b) Exculpation. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to any Member or Special Member of the Company or the Company for any act or failure to act on behalf of the Company, unless such act or failure to act resulted from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Person. Each Indemnified Person may consult with legal counsel and accountants in respect of the Company’s affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants.
(c) Expenses. Any indemnification underSection 20(a), as well as the advance payment of expenses permitted underSection 20(d) shall be made by the Company to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.
(d) Advance Payment of Expenses. The expenses of any Member or Special Member of the Company incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Member (in form and substance, from an indemnitor, reasonably satisfactory to the Member of the Company), to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Member or Special Member is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The provisions of thisSection 20(d) do not affect and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, including, without, limitation, any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses to which any such Indemnified Person other than the Members and Special Members of the Company may be entitled under any contract, pursuant to approval of the Members and Special Members of the Company, or otherwise by law.
(e) Beneficiaries. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to thisSection 20 continues for a Person who has ceased to be a Member, Special Member, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.
(f) Indemnification Procedure for Third Party and Other Claims. A party against whom indemnification is sought under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, exercisable by written notice to the Person seeking such indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or assertion of any claim, action, suit or proceeding by a third party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), to assume the defense and control the settlement of such Third Party Claim that (a) involves (and continues to involve) solely money damages or (b) involves (and continues to involve) claims for both money damages and equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that cannot be severed, where the claims for money damages are the primary claims asserted by the third party and the claims for equitable relief are incidental to the claims for money damages. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense and control the settlement of any Third Party Claim (i) not described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence or (ii)
6
described in clauses (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence whose defense and control of settlement has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have the right to participate in (but not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third Party Claim that the other is defending, as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, enter into any compromise or settlement which (A) commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or (B) does not provide for a complete release by such Third Party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or othernon-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, and shall have the right to settle any Third Party Claim involving money damages for which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense pursuant to thisSection 20(f) with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(g) Other Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party shall claim a right to payment pursuant to this Agreement for other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify the basis for such claim. As promptly as possible after the Indemnified Party has given such notice, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt to resolve such claim by mutual agreement before resorting to other legal means to resolve such claim.
(h) Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential loss or damage (including any loss of revenue or profit) arising out of this Agreement including, without limitation, in respect of any breach by any Member or Special Member of this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to preclude recovery by the Indemnified Party in respect of Indemnifiable Losses directly incurred from Third Party Claims. Any Indemnified Person shall take commercially reasonable actions to mitigate his, her, its or their damages. The obligation of the Company or any Member or Special Member to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses hereunder resulting from any action, suit or proceeding shall not exceed the value of the assets of the Company.
Section 21. Assignments.
The Member may assign in whole or in part its limited liability company interest in the Company. Subject toSection 23, the transferee of a limited liability company interest in the Company shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. If the Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in the Company pursuant to thisSection 21, such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
7
Section 22. Resignation.
If the Member elects, in its sole discretion, to resign, an additional member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement.

Section 23. Admission of Additional Members.
One or more additional Members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member.
Section 24. Dissolution.
