Indemnitee’s Entitlement to Indemnification In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Delaware Court. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by Indemnitee to secure indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
Right to Indemnification Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was the Sole Member, a Manager, an Officer, or an officer, director or stockholder of the Sole Member in its capacity as sole member of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager or officer of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as an equity holder, manager, director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as an equity holder, manager, director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the Delaware General Corporation Law as if the Company were a Delaware corporation, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits broader indemnification rights than such law permitted prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended and as may be further amended from time to time (“ERISA”), or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 5.6 with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Managers.
