ARTICLE VI.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 6.01 Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the standard of conduct set forth in Section
6.01(e), any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited
liability partnership, limited liability company, association, joint stock
company, trust, unincorporated organization, whether or not a legal entity, or
other business or governmental entity ("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, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a Manager or agent of the LLC, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the LLC to the fullest extent legally
permissible against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorney's
fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding.
(b) To the extent that a Manager or agent of the LLC has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.01, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified by the LLC against
expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith without the necessity of any action
being taken by the LLC other than the determination, in good faith, that such
defense has been successful. In all other cases wherein indemnification is
provided by this Section 6.01, unless ordered by a court, indemnification shall
be made by the LLC only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the Manager or agent has met the applicable standards
specified in this Section 6.01. Such determination shall be made (1) by the
Board of Managers by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Managers who were
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding (each, a "Disinterested
Manager"), or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable (if
a majority of a quorum of Disinterested Managers so directs), by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion.
(c) 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, in 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 interests of the LLC,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(d) Expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred by a Manager or an agent of the LLC in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
LLC in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as
authorized by the Board of Managers in the specific case upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Manager or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
LLC.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no Manager of the LLC
shall be personally liable to the LLC for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty by such
6
Person as a Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Manager shall be
liable (i) for breach of the Manager's duty of loyalty to the LLC or the Member,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (iii) for any transaction from which
the Manager derived an improper personal benefit. No amendment to or repeal of
this Section 6.01(e) shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or
alleged liability of any Manager of the LLC for or with respect to any acts or
omissions of such Manager occurring prior to such amendment.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by
this Section 6.01 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement may be entitled under any
agreement, vote of the Board of Managers or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Manager,
employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such Person.
