(b) Employees of the Company who are not entitled to indemnification under Section 12(a) hereof shall be indemnified in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other (whether brought by or in the right of the Company or

2

otherwise) arising out of their service to the Company or to another enterprise at the request of the Company if, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, such employee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that the Company shall not indemnify an employee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such employee (other than a proceeding to enforce such person’s rights to indemnification under this Section 12) unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Member.

(c)  The Company may indemnify agents of the Company who are not Officers or employees of the Company with such scope and effect as determined by the Member.

(d)  As soon as practicable after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification hereunder of actual knowledge of any action, suit or proceeding, such indemnified person shall notify the Company thereof if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof may be or is being made by such indemnified person against the Company under this Section 12. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and may assume the defense thereof. After the Company notifies the indemnified person of its election to so assume the defense, the Company will not be liable to the indemnified person under this Section 12 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified person in connection with the defense. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify an indemnified person under this Section 12 for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim affected without its written consent.

(e)  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and the Member and any Officer, agent or employee against any liability asserted against and incurred by him or her in respect of such service, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability by law or under the provisions of this Section 12. The provisions of this Section 12 shall be applicable to persons who have ceased to be a person covered by this Section 12 and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of persons entitled to indemnity hereunder.

(f)  Indemnification under this Section 12 shall include the right to be paid expenses incurred in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is provided, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified person to repay such amount if it ultimately shall be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company; provided that the indemnified person shall reimburse the Company for any amounts paid by the Company as indemnification of expenses to the extent the indemnified person receives payment for the same expenses from any insurance carrier or from another party. The indemnification rights granted herein are not intended to be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled and the Company may enter into contractual agreements with any Officer, agent or employee to provide such individual with indemnification rights as set forth in such agreement or agreements, which rights shall be in addition to the rights set forth in this Section 12.

(g)  The provisions of this Section 12 shall be applicable to actions, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof.

(h)  Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Member shall not be liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no person entitled to indemnification under this Section 12 shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company, the Member or any other persons who have acquired ownership interests in the Company, for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of the indemnified person unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the indemnified person acted in bad faith, engaged in fraud or willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the indemnified person’s conduct was criminal.

13.  Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon (a) the written consent of the Member or (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Code.
