(b) To the fullest extent permitted by the Act and other applicable law, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company, the Member or any other Person that is a party to or otherwise bound by this Agreement for such Covered Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, or for any act or omission constituting a breach of contract or breach of duties, other than an act or omission that constitutes a breach of the duties set forth in subsection (a) above.

(c) A Covered Person is fully protected by relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports, books of account or statements presented to the Company by any Person reasonably believed by the Covered Person to be reliable and as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence, including information, opinions, reports, books of account or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.

9.7 Applicable Law. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the Member, shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflict of laws principles of that State; provided, however, that any matters governed by the Equityholders Agreement shall be governed by Delaware law without regard to the conflict of laws principles of the State of Delaware.

9.8 Counterparts and Facsimile Copies. Facsimile copies of this Agreement and counterparts thereof or of any approval or written consent of the Member, and facsimile signatures hereon or thereon, shall have the same force and effect as originals.

9.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or any application thereof, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, that provision, or application thereof, shall be deemed severable and the remainder of this Agreement, and all other applications of such provision, shall not be affected, impaired or

invalidated thereby, and shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.10 Waivers. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver, and no waiver shall be binding unless evidenced by an instrument in writing and executed by the party making the waiver.

9.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

9.12 Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably by the parties, including the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 349 of the Rules of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware if it is eligible for such arbitration. If the dispute claim or controversy is not eligible for such arbitration, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its commercial rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any AAA arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in the State of Delaware. The AAA arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including the issuance of an injunction or other equitable relief. However, any party may, without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction hereof and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the AAA arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.
