(b) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 5.10 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability to the Company, the Member and the Member’s directors, officers and employees under this Section 5.10 in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 5.11 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event any claim is made by a third party against any Indemnitee with respect to an actual or potential liability for which such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under any provisions of Section 5.9, and such Indemnitee wishes to be indemnified with respect thereto, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company, its receiver or its trustee (in the case of a receiver or trustee, to the extent of Company Property) (the “Indemnitor”); provided that the failure of any such Indemnitee to notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it otherwise may have to such Indemnitee hereunder.

(b) Unless the Indemnitor has given the notice provided in Section 5.11(c), each Indemnitee may by notice to the Indemnitor take control of all aspects of the investigation and defense of all claims asserted against it and may employ counsel of its choice and at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided that (i) the amount of any settlement such Indemnitee may enter into must be consented to by the Indemnitor and no Indemnitee may in connection with any such investigation, defense or settlement, without the consent of the Indemnitor, require the Indemnitor or any of its Subsidiaries to take or refrain from taking any action (other than payment of such a settlement amount) or to make any public statement, which such Person reasonably considers to materially adversely affect its interest, and (ii) such Indemnitee may not take control of any investigation, defense or settlement which could entail a risk of criminal liability to the Indemnitor or any of its Affiliates. Upon the request of the Indemnitor, each

Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnitor apprised of the status of those aspects of such investigation and defense controlled by such Indemnitee and shall provide such information with respect thereto as the Indemnitor may reasonably request. The Indemnitor shall cooperate with the Indemnitee in all reasonable respects with respect thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.11(b), any Indemnitor may, by notice to the Indemnitee, take control of all aspects of the investigation and defense of all claims asserted against it, and may employ counsel of its choice and at its expense; provided that (i) the Indemnitor may not without the consent of any Indemnitee agree to any settlement that requires such Indemnitee to make any payment that is not indemnified hereunder, or does not grant a general release to such Indemnitee, and in any event the Indemnitor may not in connection with any such investigation, defense, or settlement, without the consent of any Indemnitee, take or refrain from taking any action which would reasonably be expected to materially impair the indemnification of such Indemnitee hereunder or would require such Indemnitee to take or refrain from taking any action or to make any public statement, which such Person reasonably considers to materially adversely affect its interests, (ii) the Indemnitor may not take control of any investigation, defense, or settlement, without the consent of any Indemnitee, if the liabilities involved in such proceedings involve any material risk of the sale, forfeiture, or loss of, or the creation of any Encumbrance on, any property of such Indemnitee and (iii) the Indemnitor may not take control of any investigation, defense, or settlement which could entail a risk of criminal liability to any Indemnitee. Upon the request of any Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Indemnitee apprised of the status of those aspects of such investigation and defense controlled by such Indemnitor and shall provide such information with respect thereto as such Indemnitee may reasonably request. The Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in all reasonable respects with respect thereto.
