The Company shall provide the Members with written notice of such Transfer as promptly as possible after all of the requirements of Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 have been met. Any transferee of a Membership Interest shall take subject to the restrictions on Transfer imposed by this Agreement.

7.6 Rights of Legal Representatives. If a Member who is an individual dies or is adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be incompetent to manage the Member’s person or property, the Member’s personal representative, executor, administrator, guardian, conservator or other legal representative may exercise all of the Member’s rights for the purpose of settling the Member’s estate or administering the Member’s property, including any power the Member has under the Articles or this Agreement to give an Assignee the right to become a Member. If a Member is a corporation, trust or other entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that Member may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.

7.7 No Effect to Transfers in Violation of This Agreement.

(a) Upon any Transfer of a Membership Interest in violation of this Article VII, the transferee has no right to vote or participate in the management of the Business, property and affairs of the Company or to exercise any rights of a Member. Such transferee shall only be entitled to become an Assignee and thereafter shall only receive the share of one or more of the Company’s Net Profits, Net Losses and distributions of the Company’s assets to which the transferor of such Economic Interest would otherwise be entitled. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentences, if, in the determination of the Members, a Transfer in violation of this Article VII would cause the tax termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), then the Transfer shall be null and void and the purported transferee shall not become either a Member or an Assignee, unless otherwise consented by the Board of Managers.

(b) Upon and contemporaneously with any Transfer (whether arising out of an attempted charge upon that Member’s Economic Interest by judicial process, a foreclosure by a creditor of the member of otherwise) of a Member’s Economic Interest (other than in accordance with Section 7.4) which does not at the same time Transfer the balance of the rights associated with the Membership Interest that is Transferred by the Member (including, without limitation, the rights of the Member to vote or participate in the management of the Business, property and affairs of the Company), the Company shall have the option to purchase from the Member, and the Member shall sell to Company for a purchase price of $100, all remaining rights and interests retained by the Member that immediately before the Transfer were associated with the Transferred Economic Interest; except in cases where Company and the Member or transferee has entered into an agreement to the contrary. Such purchase and sale shall not, however, result in the release of the Member from any liability to the Company as a Member. This Section 7.7(b) shall not be applicable if the Company has a Public Offering or has filed a registration statement.

(c) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the right of the Company to purchase such remaining rights and interests from a Member who Transfers a Membership Interest in violation of this Article VII is not unreasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date hereof.

7.8 Right of First Negotiation. If any Class B Member desires to Transfer all or any part of its Class B Membership Units (other than pursuant to Section 7.4), such holder shall notify the Class A Member in writing of such desire. For a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, unless otherwise waived by the Class A Member, the Class A Member shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the purchase of such holders of Class B Membership Units. If a Class A Member desires to Transfer all of its Class A Membership Units, in a single or series of transactions occurring within a twelve (12) month period, such holder shall notify the Class B Members in writing of such desire. For a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, unless otherwise waived by a majority of the percentage interest of the Class B Members as a class, the Class B Members shall negotiate in good faith with respect to the purchase of such holders of Class A Membership Units by either the Class B Members or a designee of the Class B Members.

7.9 Right of First Refusal. If a Unitholder receives an offer to Transfer its Units from a buyer (other than pursuant to Section 7.4), then (i) if such Unitholder is a Class B Member (the “Class B ROFR Party”), such Unitholder shall first offer such Units to the Class A Member in accordance with the following provisions and (ii) if such Unitholder is the Class A Member (the “Class A ROFR Party” and, together with the Class B ROFR Parties, the “ROFR Parties”), the Class A Member shall first offer such Units to the Class B Members in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Such transferring Unitholder shall deliver a written notice (the “Option Notice”) to the applicable ROFR Party stating (i) such Unitholder’s bona fide intention to Transfer such Unit, (ii) the Unit to be Transferred, (iii) the purchase price and terms of payment for which the Unitholder proposes to Transfer such Unit, and (iv) the name and address of the proposed transferee.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Option Notice, the applicable ROFR party has the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase all or any part of the Unit upon the price and terms of payment designated in the Option Notice. If the Option Notice provides for the payment of non-cash consideration, the applicable ROFR Party may elect to pay the consideration in cash equal to the good faith estimate of the present fair market value of the non-cash consideration offered as mutually agreed. If the applicable ROFR Party exercises such right within such thirty (30) day period, the applicable ROFR Party shall give written notice of that fact to the transferring and non-transferring Unitholders.

(c) If the applicable ROFR Party elects to purchase or obtain any or all of the Unit designated in the Option Notice, then the closing of such purchase shall occur within ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice and the transferring Unitholder, the applicable ROFR Party shall execute such documents and instruments and make such deliveries as may be reasonably required to consummate such purchase.

(d) If the applicable ROFR Party elects not to purchase or obtain, or defaults in its obligation to purchase or obtain, all of the Units designated in the Option Notice, then the transferring Unitholder may Transfer the portion of the Unit described in the Option Notice not so purchased to the proposed transferee, provided that such Transfer (i) is completed within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable ROFR Party’s right to purchase such Unit, (ii) is made on terms no less favorable to the transferring Unitholder than as designated in the Option Notice, and (iii) complies with Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 relating to the consent of the Unitholders and the securities and tax requirements; it being acknowledged by the Unitholders that compliance with Sections 7.8 and 7.9 does not modify any of the Transfer restrictions set forth in Article VII hereof or otherwise entitle a Unitholder to Transfer its Unit other than in the manner prescribed by Article VII. If such Unit is not so Transferred, the transferring Unitholder must give notice in accordance with this Section 7.9 prior to any other or subsequent proposed Transfer of such Unit.

ARTICLE VIII.

Each of the Unitholders hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all applicable appraisal rights and rights to object to or dissent from such Sale of the Company, and agrees that it will raise no objections against such Sale of the Company, provided, that the distribution resulting from the sale to the Unitholders are distributed equally to all Unitholders on a per Unit basis.

The Company shall cause its officers, employees, agents, contractors and others under its control to cooperate in any proposed Sale of the Company pursuant to this Section 8.1 and not to take any action that might impede any such Sale of the Company.

(c) Upon written consent of the Class A Member, the Board of Managers shall have full and plenary power and authority, as the agent of the Company, to cause the Company to enter into a transaction providing for a Sale of the Company and to take any and all such further action in connection therewith as the Board of Managers may deem necessary or appropriate (and not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 8.1) in order to consummate such Sale of the Company. The Board of Managers, in exercising its rights under this Section 8.1, shall have complete discretion over the terms and conditions of any Sale of the Company effected hereby, including, without limitation, price, type of consideration, payment terms, conditions to closing, representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, indemnification, holdbacks and escrows; provided, that (i) the type of consideration and payment terms applicable with respect to all Class B Membership Units within each respective class or series of Class B Membership Units are identical in all material respects; (ii) each Unitholder receives in such Interest. No Unitholder (without its consent) shall be required to Transfer more than its pro rata share of the total outstanding Units proposed to be Transferred. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Board of Managers may authorize and cause the Company to execute (or execute on behalf of the Company) such agreements, documents, applications, authorizations, registration statements and instruments (collectively “Sale Documents”) as it shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any Sale of the Company, and each third person who is party to any such Sale Documents may rely on the authority vested in the Board of Managers under this Section 8.1 for all purposes.

(d) The Company shall pay for all transaction costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Sale of the Company to the extent not paid by the acquiring party or the Unitholders. Each Unitholder shall pay for all transaction costs and expenses incurred by such Unitholder on an individual basis, and its pro rata share (based upon its share of the aggregate proceeds after deducting all transaction costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all of the Unitholders as a group in connection with any Sale of the Company, including for this purpose the value of any Unitholder’s “rolled”, or retained equity) of those transaction costs and expenses incurred for the benefit of all of the Unitholders as a group in connection with any Sale of the Company, in each case, to the extent not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. In addition, each Unitholder shall bear its pro rata share (based upon its share of the aggregate proceeds, including for this purpose the value of any Unitholder’s “rolled”, or retained equity) of any indemnities required of all of the Unitholders in connection with a Sale of the Company (other than indemnities arising out of representations concerning such Unitholder’s own Units or its ownership thereof, the authority of such Unitholder to effect the transaction, the enforceability of such Unitholder’s obligations thereunder, and other representations and covenants particular to such Unitholder, for which such Unitholder shall be solely responsible) (“Unitholder Matters”); provided, that (i) a Unitholder’s liability shall be several and not joint, (ii) except in instances of such Unitholder’s fraud, the maximum potential liability for such indemnities shall be limited to the amount of the aggregate proceeds received or receivable by such Unitholder in the Sale of the Company and (iii) with respect to indemnities that do not relate to Unitholder Matters, the maximum potential liability for such indemnities shall be limited to such Unitholder’s pro rata share (as determined in the immediately preceding sentence) of the indemnity obligations.

(e) EACH HOLDER OF CLASS B UNITS HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLE APPOINTS THE BOARD OF MANAGERS AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AS SUCH UNITHOLDER’S PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO VOTE SUCH UNITLHOLDER’S CLASS B MEMBERSHIP UNITS AND TAKE ANY AND ALL SUCH OTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH UNITOHOLDER’S CLASS B MEMBERSHIP UNITS AND OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY AS BOARD OF MANAGERS MAY DIRECT IN CONNECTION WITH A SALE OF THE COMPANY EFFECTED BY BOARD OF MANAGERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION SOLELY IN THE EVENT THAT SUCH UNITHOLDER FAILS TO VOTE SUCH UNITHOLDER’S CLASS B MEMBERSHIP UNITS OR TAKE ANY AND ALL SUCH OTHER ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH A SALE OF THE COMPANY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. SUCH APPOINTMENT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE VALID THROUGH THE DATE THERE SHALL BE CONSUMMATED A SALE OF THE COMPANY.

8.2 Tag Along Rights. In case of an equity Sale of the Company, any Member may participate and sell their Membership Interest in such sale to the Buyer and receive the same consideration as the Class A Member on a per Unit basis. The Class A Member shall notify the buyer in such Sale of the Company and may not execute an agreement for the Sale of the Company without such agreement allowing for the provisions of this Section 8.2.

8.3 Change in Business Form.

(a) Each holder of Class B Units hereby irrevocably delegates and cedes to the Class A Member the sole authority and power to, in its sole discretion, (i) convert the Company into a corporation (by merger or otherwise) or another form of business entity at any time, in which event the terms and conditions contained herein (including the terms and conditions relating to the Units and Capital Accounts) shall be, as closely as possible, adopted by the new entity, (ii) notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, make an election to have the Company be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and, if applicable, state income or franchise tax purposes, rather than as a partnership or (iii) require the transfer of Units held by such Unitholder (along with all other Unitholders) to one or more corporations (or other legal entity) in exchange for shares of such corporation(s) (or other legal entity) (including by merger of the Company into a corporation, a split-off of the Company or a subsidiary, or contribution of equity interest and/or debt instruments) and, in connection therewith, each Unitholder agrees to the Transfer of its Units in accordance with the terms of exchange as provided by the Class A Member (each, a “Change in Form”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is anticipated that a Change in Form would occur prior to, or in connection with, a Public Offering, and at the time of such Public Offering, the valuation of the Company’s equity securities shall be determined based on the per share or Unit, as applicable, net proceeds to be received by the Company pursuant to such Public Offering, and such equity securities shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with their proportion of Units owned to the outstanding Units. In connection with any Change in Form, subject to the preceding sentence, the Class A Member may cause a recapitalization, reorganization, incorporation and/or exchange of the Units into securities which, to the extent possible, reflect and are consistent with the Units, distribution preferences and Capital Accounts as in effect immediately prior to such transaction. It is the intent of the Members that the conversion of the Company into corporate form and the conversion or reorganization of any of the Company operating divisions, whether currently existing or existing in the future, into corporate form are a part of the Member’s investment decision(s) with respect to Units held by the Members.

(c) No holder of Class B Units shall have the right or power to veto, vote for or against, amend, modify or delay any such Change in Form. Further, each holder of Class B Units shall execute and deliver any documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate, a determined by the Class A Member, to effectuate and perform any such Change in Form.

ARTICLE X.

DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

10.2 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved, its assets shall be disposed of, and its affairs wound up on the first to occur of the following (a “Dissolution event”):

(a) The happening of any event of dissolution if any is specified in the Articles;

(b) The vote of the Members holding seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding and issued Units;

(d) By approval of the Class A Member by virtue of a merger, consolidation, or corporate reorganization under Internal Revenue Code 368;

(e) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to the Act;

(f) The issuance of a declaration of administrative termination under the Act; or

(g) Required by law, including by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.3 Certificate of Dissolution. As soon as possible following the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.2, the Members who have not wrongfully dissolved the Company or, if none, the Board of Managers, shall execute the Certificate of Dissolution in such form as shall be prescribed by the State of Delaware Secretary of State and file the Certificate of Dissolution as required by the Act.

10.4 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 10.2, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Board of Managers shall take full account of the liabilities and assets of the Company, shall either cause its assets to be distributed or sold, and if sold (which shall be done as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof), shall cause the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, to be applied and distributed as provided in Section 10.6. The Persons winding up the affairs of the Company shall give written notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants whose addresses appear on the records of the Company. The Board of Managers winding up the affairs of the Company shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for such services.

10.5 Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the Net Profit or Net Loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value. Such Net Profit or Net Loss shall then be allocated pursuant to Article VI, and the Member’s Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations. The amount distributed and charged to the Capital Account of each Member receiving an interest in such distributed asset shall be the fair market value of such interest (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member assumes or takes subject to). The fair market value of such asset shall be determined by the Members, or if any Member objects by an independent appraiser (any such appraiser must be recognized as an expert in valuing the type of asset involved) selected by the Members or liquidating trustee, if any, and approved by a Majority Interest.

10.6 Order of Payment Upon Dissolution.

(a) After determining that all known debts and liabilities of the Company, including, without limitation, debts and liabilities to Members who are creditors of the Company, have been paid or adequately provided for, the remaining assets shall be distributed to the Members holding Units pro rata in in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances, after taking into account income and loss allocations for the Company’s taxable year during which liquidation occurs. Such liquidating distributions shall be made by the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the Company is liquidated, or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation.

(b) The payment of a debt or liability, whether the whereabouts of the creditor is known or unknown, shall be deemed to have been adequately provided for if the payment thereof has been assumed or guaranteed in good faith by one or more financially responsible persons or by the United States government or any agency thereof, and the provision, including the financial responsibility of the Person, was determined in good faith and with reasonable care by the Members to be adequate at the time of any distribution of the assets pursuant to this section. This section shall not prescribe the exclusive means of making adequate provision for debts and liabilities.

10.7 Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall only be entitled to look solely at the assets of the Company for the return of its positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for its Capital Contribution and/or share of Net Profits (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any other Member.

10.8 No Action for Dissolution. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, a Member shall not take any voluntary action that directly causes a Dissolution Event. The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 10.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation of the Economic Interests. Accordingly, except where the Members have failed to liquidate the Company as required by this Article X, each Member hereby waives and renounces its right to initiate legal action to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company or to seek a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company on the ground that (a) it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the Business of the Company in conformity with the Articles or this Agreement, or (b) dissolution is reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights or interests of the complaining Member. Damages for breach of this Section 10.8 shall be monetary damages only (and not specific performance), and the damages may be offset against distributions by the Company to which such Member would otherwise be entitled.

ARTICLE XI.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

11.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Article XI, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “Agent” means any person who is or was a member manager, director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor business entity of the Company or of another enterprise at the request of the predecessor business entity.

(c) “Proceeding” includes any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in nature, except a proceeding initiated by a Person pursuant to Section 11.10(b) to enforce such Person’s rights under this Agreement.

11.2 Indemnification of Agents.

(a) The Company has the power to defend and indemnify any Agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was an Agent of believe that the Agent’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding, whether by judgement, the Company, against all Expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, penalties and ERISA excise taxes actually and reasonably incurred by or levied against the Agent in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined, as provided in Section 11.5 or by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Agent did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that the Agent had reasonable cause to believe that the Agent’s conduct was unlawful. The Members may enter into indemnity agreements from time to time with any Person entitled to be indemnified by the Company hereunder, upon such terms and conditions as the Members deem appropriate in their business judgment.

(b) The Company has the power to indemnify any Agent who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise becomes involved in, any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Agent is or was an Agent of the Company only against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Agent in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined, as provided in Section 11.5 or by a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the Agent has been adjudged liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Expenses which such court shall deem proper.

11.3 Insurance. The Company has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an Agent against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as an Agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under this Article XI or under applicable law.

11.4 Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that an Agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Agent shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

11.5 Determination of Conduct. If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, then any indemnification under Section 11.2 (unless ordered by a court as referred to in such Section 11.2) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Agent is proper in the circumstances because the Agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 11.2. Such determination shall be made by the Class A Member, whether or not constituting a quorum, who were not parties to such Proceeding.

11.6 Payment of Expenses in Advance. Expenses incurred by an Agent in connection with a Proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Agent to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the Agent is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article XI.

11.7 Indemnity Not Exclusive. If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, then the indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the provisions of this Article XI, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any Person seeking indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be entitled under any agreement or by vote of the Members, or otherwise, both as to action in such Person’s capacity as an Agent of the Company and as to action in another capacity while serving as an Agent. All rights to indemnification under this Article XI arising from the Company’s election to indemnify an Agent pursuant to Section 11.2 shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Company and each Agent who serves in such capacity at any time while this Agreement and relevant provisions of the Act and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any repeal or modification hereof or thereof shall not affect any such rights then existing.

11.8 Reimbursement by an Agent from Insurance Proceeds. If the Company, pursuant to Section 11, elects to indemnify an Agent, and a Person shall receive payment from any insurance carrier or from the plaintiff in any action against such Person with respect to indemnified amounts after payment on account of all or part of such indemnified amounts having been made by the Company pursuant to this Article XI, such Person shall reimburse the Company for the amount, if any, by which the sum of such payment by such insurance carrier or such plaintiff and payments by the Company to such Person exceeds such indemnified amounts; provided, however, that such portions, if any, of such insurance proceeds that are required to be reimbursed to the insurance carrier under the terms of its insurance policy shall not be deemed to be payments to such Person hereunder. In addition, upon payment of indemnified amounts under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to such Person’s rights against any insurance carrier with respect to such indemnified amounts (to the extent permitted under such insurance policies). Such right of subrogation shall be terminated upon receipt by the Company of the amount to be reimbursed by such Person pursuant to Section 11.3.

11.9 Heirs, Personal Representatives, Executors and Administrators. If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, then the indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted pursuant to this Article XI shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an Agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators.

11.10 Indemnification Upon Application.

(a) If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, then any indemnification or advance under Section 11.2 or Section 11.6 shall be made promptly, and in no event later than sixty (60) days, after the Company’s receipt of the written request of an Agent therefor, unless, in the case of an indemnification, a determination shall have been made as provided in Section 11.5 that the Agent has not met the relevant standard for indemnification set forth in Section 11.2.

(b) If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, then the Company’s agreements to indemnify or make an advance of Expenses as provided by this Article XI Shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

11.11 Limitations on Indemnification. No payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Company:

(a) To indemnify or advance funds to any Person with respect to a Proceeding initiated or brought voluntarily by such Person and not by way of defense, except as provided in Section 11.10(b) with respect to a Proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement, otherwise than as required under applicable law, but indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if a determination is made in the manner provided in Section 11.5 that it is appropriate; or

(b) If a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification or advance of Expenses hereunder is unlawful.

11.12 Partial Indemnification. If the Company, pursuant to Section 11.2, elects to indemnify an Agent, and if the Agent is thereby entitled under any provision of this Article XI to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, penalties or ERISA excise taxes incurred by such Person in any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Agent for the portion of such Expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, penalties or ERISA excise taxes to which such Person is thereby entitled.
