This Section shall be binding on any successor to the Company, including any limited liability company, corporation or other entity which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

(f) The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person covered hereby may be entitled other than pursuant to this Section. The Company is authorized to enter into agreements with any such person or persons providing them rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in addition to the provisions therefor in this Section to the full extent permitted by law.
(g) The Company, in such instances and to such extent as shall be determined by the Manager, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to the Sole Member and the Manager under this Section; and the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to persons who are not or were not employees or agents of the Company, but who are or were serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of such person’s status as such a person to the same extent that the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to the Sole Member or the Manager under this Section.
Weekly Indemnity (a) Casual employees are eligible for weekly indemnity benefits upon accumulation of 400 hours of service seniority. Once established, eligibility for weekly indemnity is retained unless the casual employee loses service seniority. Weekly indemnity benefits are payable for each period of illness up to a maximum of 15 weeks at 60% of the casual employee's normal average earnings. Normal average earnings are calculated by averaging the straight-time compensation and the compensation paid in accordance with Clause 31.7 in the six most recent biweekly pay periods in which earnings occurred.
(b) The payment of benefits to a person who is laid off or separated prior to termination of his/her illness shall be continued after the layoff or separation until the total number of weeks for which benefits have been paid in respect of that illness is 15 weeks, except that benefits will cease on the effective date of a scheduled layoff or separation, if the illness occurs two months (or less) before that layoff or separation provided that notice of the layoff or separation was given prior to the occurrence of the illness.
