To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any and all civil, criminal, administrative or investigative losses, claims, demands, liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (“Claims”), in which the Covered Person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board or the Sole Member. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 11.
Liability Exculpation and Indemnification Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, all debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company (including, without limitation, under a judgment, decree or order of a court), whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person. Exculpation. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of this Agreement.
Indemnification; Exculpation The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, the Definitive Documentation, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, solely to the extent such Definitive Documentation or transactions contemplated thereby relate to this Agreement and the Convertible Preferred Equity Offering, any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Commitments, or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and the Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Party upon demand for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (which, so long as there are no conflicts among such Indemnified Parties, shall be limited to one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnified Parties) and other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense is found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, actual fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall the Company or any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, the Company agrees that it will not enter into any settlement of any lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Definitive Documentation, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, solely to the extent such Definitive Documentation or transactions contemplated thereby relate to this Agreement and the Convertible Preferred Equity Offering, unless such settlement (i) includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of all Indemnified Parties and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of any information made available to the Indemnified Parties by the Company or any of its representatives through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that is intercepted by such persons. No Indemnified Party shall settle any lawsuit, claim, or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Definitive Documentation, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to no indemnification by the Company for any claim, damage, loss, liability, or expense incurred by or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party for any violation of Law by such Indemnified Party.
Exculpation, Indemnification, Advances and Insurance (a) Subject to other applicable provisions of this Article V, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Indemnified Persons shall not be liable to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any officer of the Company or a Subsidiary, or any Member or any holder of any equity interest in any Subsidiary of the Company, for any acts or omissions by any of the Indemnified Persons arising from the exercise of their rights or performance of their duties and obligations in connection with the Company, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company, including with respect to any acts or omissions made while serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan. The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, “Expenses and Liabilities”) arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company under Delaware law, a director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or the Manager, or an officer, director, member, partner, tax matters partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person or any employee benefit plan at the request of the Company. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Manager (and its officers) are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.4 in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 5.4(a) that the Company indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.6, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the extent permitted by law.
(c) Any indemnification under this Section 5.4 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company unless the Manager determines in the specific case that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is not proper in the circumstances because such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a). Such determination shall be made in good faith by the Manager; provided that if the Manager or its Affiliates is the Indemnified Person, by a majority vote of the directors of the Sponsor who are not parties to the applicable suit, action or proceeding. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith, notwithstanding an earlier determination by the Manager that the Indemnified Person had not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a).
(d) Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.4(c), and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 5.4(a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 5.4(a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.4(c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 5.4.
(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement, determination of the Manager, vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 5.4(a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 5.4(a) but whom the Company has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.
(g) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.4 against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 5.4.
(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 5.4 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.4.
(i) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Manager, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company and to the employees and agents of any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate similar to those conferred in this Section 5.4 to Indemnified Persons
(j) If this Section 5.4 or any portion of this Section 5.4 shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 5.4 that shall not have been invalidated.
(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel and accountants, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel or accountants will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company.
(l) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 5.4 because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section 5.4, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
(n) The directors and officers of the Manager shall, in the performance of his or her duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the officers or employees of the Company or the Manager or by any other Person as to matters the director or officer of the Manager reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence.
(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 5.4 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.4 as 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 and provided such Person became an Indemnified Person hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

(i) Agents for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but limited to in the case of counsel, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for Lenders and Agents selected by Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by Agents and any “ClearPar” costs and expenses) in connection with (1) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the extension and syndication of credit (including the Loans and Commitments) hereunder and (2) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any modification, supplement, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of any Credit Document (whether or not consummated or effective) requested by the Credit Parties;

Without limiting the rights of any Agent under this Section 13.03(a), each Agent, promptly after a request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an estimate of any amount anticipated to be incurred by such Agent and reimbursed by Borrower under this Section 13.03(a).
(b) The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Credit Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the issuance of or performance under any Letter of Credit or, the use of any collateral security for the Obligations (including the exercise by any Agent or Lender of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto or any action or inaction in respect thereof), including all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08, but excluding (i) any such Losses relating to matters referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.06 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters referred to therein), (ii) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (iii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company (other than any claims against Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto or any L/C Lender, in each case, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles). For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under any of the Security Documents; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
