However, such protection from personal liability will apply to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide greater or broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment).

Section 7.2 Liabilities: Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 7.2(f), any 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 Member, Manager, officer, employee, agent or legal representative of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Person”), will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permissible against all expenses, claims, damages, liabilities and losses (including judgments, interest on judgments, fines, charges, costs, amounts paid in settlement, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or any appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or commission), whether pending or merely threatened, whether or not any Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto, including interest on any of the foregoing (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of, or in connection with, the management or conduct of the business and affairs of the Company, except for any such Damages to the extent that they are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties or willful violations of the express provisions hereof by the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Parties may consult with counsel and accountants with respect to the affairs of the Company and will be fully protected and justified, to the extent allowed by law, in acting, or failing to act, if such action or failure to act is in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants.

(b) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the Person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner which such Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company or its creditors, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Person’s conduct was unlawful. Entry of a judgment by consent as part of a settlement will not be deemed a final adjudication of liability for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty, nor of any other issue or matter.

(c) Subject to Section 7.2(f), expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount unless it will ultimately be determined that such Person is entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by other employees or agents of the Company in defending in any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board deems appropriate.

(d) No Manager of the Company will be personally liable to the Company for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such person as a Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Manager will be liable to the extent provided by Applicable Law (i) for breach of the Manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company 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.

(e) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Section 7.2 will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement may by entitled under any agreement, vote of the Board or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and will continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Manager, employee or agent and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.

(f) Any amounts payable by the Company in accordance with this Section 7.2 will be payable solely to the extent of funds available therefor and actually received by the Company under the Basic Documents, from capital contributions or in connection with other Permitted Transactions. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.2 will not constitute a claim against the Company to the extent that the Company does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. Any claim that an Indemnified Person may have at any time against the Company that it may seek to enforce hereunder will be subordinate to the payment in full (including post-petition interest, in the event that the Company becomes a debtor or debtor in possession in a case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or otherwise subject to any insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, rehabilitation or other similar proceedings) of the claims of the holders of any Securities which are collateralized or secured by the assets of the Company and of claims (if any) of the Trust or any other Person to which Securitization (or interests therein) have been transferred.

(g) Amendments: Indemnification. The indemnities contained in Section 7.2 will survive the resignation, removal or termination of any Indemnified Person or the termination of this Agreement. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII will not adversely affect any rights of such Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article VII, including the right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of an Indemnified Person existing at the time of such repeal or modifications with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(ii) such Person is not acquiring its interest in the Company through an “established securities market” within the meaning of section 7704(b) of the Code; and
