Indemnity of Managers. The Managers shall be indemnified by the Company under the following circumstances and in the manner and to the extent indicated: (a) Every Person, and his heirs, executors and administrators, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding of any kind, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, or was or is the subject of any claim, and whether or not by or in the right of the Company, by reason of his being or having been a Manager, or by reason of his serving or having served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another Entity, or at the request of the Company in any capacity that under Federal law regulating employee benefit plans would or might constitute him a fiduciary with respect to any such plan, whether or not such plan is or was for employees of the Company, shall be indemnified by the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties, awards, costs, amounts paid in settlement and liabilities of all kinds, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with, or resulting from, such action, suit, proceeding or claim, if he acted in good faith and in the manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated to be liable to the Company for willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law in the performance of his duty to the Company unless, and only to the extent, that the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. The termination of any such action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or by settlement, shall not of itself create a presumption that any such Person did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Company. (b) Any indemnification under Section 4.02(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of such Person is proper in the circumstances because the Manager had met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such paragraph. Such determination may be made either (i) by the Managers by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Managers who were not a party to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested Managers so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the Member. (c) Reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or in respect of any such Person in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by, or on behalf of, such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. (d) The Managers of the Company shall have the power, generally and in specific cases, to indemnify their employees and agents to the same extent as provided in this Section with respect to its Managers. (e) The provisions of this Section are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other right to indemnity to which any Person who is or may be indemnified by or pursuant to this Section may otherwise be entitled, and to the powers otherwise accorded by law to the Company to indemnify any such Person and to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such Person against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in any capacity referred to in this Section or arising from his status as serving or having served in any such capacity (whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify against such liability). (f) If any provision of this Section shall be adjudicated invalid or unenforceable, such adjudication shall not be deemed to invalidate or otherwise affect any other provision hereof or any power of indemnity which the Company may have under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. (g) No amendment or repeal of this Section shall limit or eliminate the right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
