14. Successors and Assigns. Except as provided in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Member and its legal representatives, successors and assigns.

15. Exculpation and Indemnification.

15.1. Right to Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a Manager or Officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, duly authorized attorney-in-fact, or agent of another entity, including any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person. The Company shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Managers.

15.2. Prepayment of Expenses. The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a Manager or Officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Manager or Officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 15 or otherwise.

15.3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 15 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the this Agreement, vote of the Member or disinterested Managers or otherwise. All rights to indemnification under this Section 15 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each Manager and Officer of the Company who serves or served in such capacity or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, duly authorized attorney-in-fact, or agent of another entity, including any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, at any time while this Section 15 is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 15 or any repeal or modification of relevant provisions of applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of such person or the obligations of the Company arising hereunder with respect to any proceeding arising out of, or relating to, any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such modification or repeal. For the purposes of this Section 15, references to “the Company” include all constituent entities absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving entity, so that any person who is or was a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent entity or is or was serving at the request of such constituent entity as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 15, with respect to the resulting or surviving entity, as such person would if such person had served the resulting or surviving entity in the same capacity.

5

15.4. Reliance. Any Person who after the date of the adoption of this provision becomes or remains a Manager or Officer of the Company or who, while a Manager or Officer of the Company, becomes or remains at the request of the Company a director, officer, employee, duly authorized attorney-in-fact or agent of another entity, including a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, shall be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advance of expenses and other rights contained in this Section 15 in entering into or continuing such service. The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Section 15 shall apply to claims made against an indemnitee arising out of acts or omissions which occurred or occur both prior and subsequent to the adoption hereof.

15.5. Savings Clause. If this Section 15 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each person entitled to indemnification under the first paragraph of this Section 15 as to all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred and suffered by such person and for which indemnification is available to such person pursuant to this Section 15 to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 15 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

15.6. Other Indemnification. The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

15.7. Insurance. The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Manager, Officer, employee or agent of the Company, or such person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Delaware law.

15.8. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 shall not adversely affect any right or protection under this Section 15 of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification without such person’s express written consent.

16. Fiscal Year; Tax Matters. The Fiscal Year of the Company for accounting purposes shall end at midnight on December 31 in each year; and each new Fiscal Year begins on January 1 in each year, except for the short taxable years in the years of the Company’s formation and termination and as otherwise required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Proper and complete records and books of account of the business of the Company shall be maintained at the Company’s principal place of business. The Member

acknowledges and agrees that the Company is a domestic entity with a single owner and is to be disregarded as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes as provided in Treas. Reg. § 7701-3. The Company’s books of account shall be maintained on a basis consistent with such treatment. The Member and its duly authorized representatives may, for any reason reasonably related to its interest as a Member of the Company, examine the Company’s books of account and make copies and extracts therefrom at its own expense. The Member shall maintain the records of the Company for three years following the termination of the Company.

17. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. The Member intends the provisions of the Act to be controlling as to any matters not set forth in this Agreement.
