ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 5.01. Distributions. (a) The Manager, in its discretion, may authorize distributions by the Company to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests.

(b)(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Manager reasonably determines that the Net Profits of the Company for a Fiscal Year will give rise to net taxable income for the Members (after giving effect to cumulative Net Losses from prior Fiscal Years available to offset such Net Profits), the Manager shall cause the Company to distribute available cash for purposes of allowing the Members to fund their respective income tax liabilities (the “Tax Advances”). The Tax Advances payable with respect to any Fiscal Year shall be computed based upon the Manager’s estimate of the net taxable income attributable to Net Profits of the Company for such Fiscal Year (after giving effect to cumulative Net Losses from prior Fiscal Years available to offset such Net Profits), multiplied by the highest combined tax rate (federal, state and local, taking into account any deductions of state or local taxes against federal tax liability) applicable to any Member or, in the case of CFP, any of its shareholders, taking into account the character of the taxable income for tax purposes (the “Tax Amount”). For purposes of computing the Tax Amount, the effect of any benefit to a Member under Section 743 of the Code, if any, will be ignored. Tax Advances shall be distributed to the Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests, but in no event shall the distributed amount exceed the available cash of the Company, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Manager.

(ii) Tax Advances shall be calculated and paid no later than one day prior to each quarterly due date for the payment of estimated taxes under the Code in the following manner: (i) for the first quarterly period, 25% of the Tax Amount, (ii) for the second quarterly period, 50% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal Year, (iii) for the third quarterly period, 75% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal year and (iv) for the fourth quarterly period, 100% of the Tax Amount, less the prior Tax Advances for the Fiscal Year. Following each Fiscal Year, and no later than one day prior to the due date for the payment by individuals or corporations, whichever is earlier, of income taxes for such Fiscal Year under the Code, the Manager shall make a final calculation of the Tax Amount for such Fiscal Year (the “Final Tax Amount”), and shall cause the Company to distribute a Tax Advance, subject to the availability of cash, to the extent that the Final Tax Amount so calculated exceeds the cumulative Tax Advances previously made by the Company in respect of such Fiscal Year. If the Final Tax Amount is less than the cumulative Tax Advances previously made by the Company in respect of the relevant Fiscal Year, then the difference (the “Credit Amount”) shall be applied against, and shall reduce, the amount of Tax Advances made to the Members for subsequent Fiscal Years. Any Credit Amount applied against future Tax Advances shall be treated as an amount actually distributed pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) for purposes of the computations herein.

(iii) Any Tax Advances made to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) shall be repaid to the Company by reducing the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 9.03 hereof.

SECTION 5.02. Liquidation Distribution. Distributions made upon liquidation of the Company shall be made as provided in Section 9.03.

SECTION 5.03. Withholding. (a) Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Manager determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld by the Company pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Manager that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to such Member or (ii) the Manager determines, in its sole discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Company which would, but for such payment, be distributed to such Member. Any withheld amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member.

(b) A Member shall not have the status of, and is not entitled to the remedies available to, a creditor of the Company with regard to distributions that such Member becomes entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement and the Act.

SECTION 5.04. Limitations on Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Ownership Interests if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable Law.

(a) The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by:

(i) The amount of any Net Profits (and any items of income or gain), allocated to such Member;

(ii) The amount, if any, of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or taken subject to or in connection with the distribution of property to such Member by the Company;

(iii) The amount of any cash contributed by the Member to the Company; and

and, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.

SECTION 6.05. Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. Subject to the special allocations set forth in Sections 6.06 and 6.09 below, Net Profits and Net Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests.

SECTION 6.06. Special Allocations. (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for the Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 6.06(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to a partner nonrecourse debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specifically allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 6.06(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.06(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.06(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.06(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.06(c) and this Section 6.06(d) were not in the Agreement.

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Ownership Interests.

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss, or to the Members in the proportions in which they bear the economic risk of loss, with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset under Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of the Membership Interest of such Member, the amount of such adjustment to Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the adjusted tax basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the adjusted tax basis of the asset), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests if Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member to whom such distribution was made if Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

SECTION 6.07. Tax Allocations. (a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Asset Value).

(b) In the event the Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(c) Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 6.07 shall be made by the Tax Matters Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.07 are solely for

purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account, share of Net Profit, Net Loss or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.08. Tax Decisions. CAM shall be the initial “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). The Company shall file as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes, except where otherwise required by Law. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Company, and all other tax decisions and determinations relating to federal, state or local tax matters of the Company, shall be made by the Tax Matters Member, in consultation with the Company’s attorneys and/or accountants. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall keep the other Members reasonably informed as to any tax actions, examinations or proceedings relating to the Company and shall submit to the other Members, for their review and comment, any settlement or compromise offer with respect to any disputed item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each Fiscal Year, the Company shall send to each Member a copy of IRS Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable state or local income tax Law, with respect to such Fiscal Year. The Company also shall provide the Members with such other information as may be reasonably requested for purposes of allowing the Members to prepare and file their own tax returns.

SECTION 6.09. Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.06 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the maximum extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.09. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the Manager determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to this Article VI without regard to the Regulatory Allocations. In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.09, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 6.06 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 6.06.

ARTICLE VII
BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS

SECTION 7.01. Books and Records. At all times during the continuance of the Company, the Company shall prepare and maintain separate books of account for the Company that shall show a true and accurate record of all costs and expenses incurred, all charges made, all credits made and received and all income derived in connection with the operation of the Company business in accordance with GAAP. Such books of account shall at all times be

maintained at the principal place of business of the Company and shall, solely to the extent required under applicable Law, be open to inspection and examination at reasonable times by each Member and its duly authorized representatives. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall keep at its principal office the following:

(a) a current list of the full name and the last known street address of each Member;

(b) a copy of the Certificate of Formation and this Agreement and all amendments thereto;

(c) copies of the Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns and reports, if any, for the three most recent years;

Such certificates shall be entered in the books of the Company as they are issued, and shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel of the Company. Upon any Transfer permitted under this Agreement, the transferring Member shall surrender to the Company the certificates representing the Ownership Interests transferred for cancellation and the Company shall issue to the transferee certificates representing the Ownership Interests transferred and shall issue to the transferring Member certificates representing the remaining Ownership Interests held by such transferring Member after taking into account such Transfer and represented by such cancelled certificates.

EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE OWNERSHIP INTERESTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AS SET FORTH IN A THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 1, 2009, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF EACH OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS WILL BE MADE ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH RESTRICTIONS SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

SECTION 8.03. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Company may issue a new certificate for Ownership Interests in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact, and providing an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, by the Person claiming the certificate to be lost or destroyed.

SECTION 8.04. Reserved.

SECTION 8.06. Reserved.

SECTION 8.07. Registered Members. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a Person registered on its records as the holder of the Ownership Interests for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Ownership Interests on the part of any other Person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the Act.

SECTION 8.08. Restrictions on Transfer. Any Transfer of Beneficial Ownership of any Ownership Interest by CFP or any CFP Permitted Transferee shall be subject to Sections 8.09 and 8.10.

SECTION 8.09. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of CFP and any CFP Permitted Transferee may Transfer record or Beneficial Ownership of some or all of the Ownership Interests Beneficially Owned by it (and any rights it may have under this Agreement):

(a) to a CFP Permitted Transferee;

(b) to CAM in exchange for Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; or

(c) in the case of a CFP Permitted Transferee that is a trustee or other fiduciary, pursuant to applicable Law or the terms of the trust agreement governing the applicable trust;

provided, however, that the Manager is reasonably satisfied that the Transfer will not cause the Company to qualify as a “publicly traded partnership,” as that term is defined in Section 7704 of the Code; and, provided, further, that neither CFP nor any CFP Permitted Transferee shall be prohibited from Transferring some or all of the Ownership Interests held by it (and any rights it may have under this Agreement) in connection with any merger or consolidation of CAM or the Company, or any transaction having the same effect, that is approved in accordance with the By-Laws.

SECTION 8.10. Transfers to Persons other than CFP Permitted Transferees. In the event that Beneficial Ownership of Ownership Interests is Transferred to any Person that is not a CFP Permitted Transferee (other than to CAM in exchange for Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), until such time, if any, that such Ownership Interests become Beneficially Owned by a CFP Permitted Transferee, (a) the record holder of such Transferred Ownership Interests shall cease to exercise any rights or powers of a Member (other than as a third party beneficiary with respect to Section 8.04) and (b) such Transferred Ownership Interests shall not be deemed held by the record holder thereof (and such Ownership Interests shall not be taken into account) for purposes of determining the number of votes to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws; provided that such record holder shall continue to be entitled to share in all profits and losses (including Net Profits and Net Losses), to receive such distribution or distributions, and to receive such allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar item to which the record holder of such Ownership Interests was entitled prior to such Transfer; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 8.10 shall be deemed to limit any rights that such record holder of Ownership Interests may have under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (other than Section 3(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) or By-laws.

(b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act;

(d) any other event not inconsistent with any provision hereof causing a dissolution of a limited liability company under the Act; or

SECTION 9.03. Distribution upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution, the Company shall continue until the winding up of the affairs of the Company is completed.

The proceeds of any liquidation shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(a) First, to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Company (including payment of all indebtedness to Members and/or their Affiliates, to the extent permitted by Law), including the expenses of liquidation;

(b) Second, to the establishment of any reserve which the Liquidation Agent shall deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company (“Contingencies”). Such reserve may be paid over by the Liquidation Agent to any attorney-at-law, or acceptable party, as escrow agent, to be held for disbursement in payment of any Contingencies and, at the expiration of such period as shall be deemed advisable by the Liquidation Agent for distribution of the balance in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 9.03; and

(c) The balance, if any, to the holders of Ownership Interests, pro rata, in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances (as determined after giving effect to all allocations set forth in Article VI).

SECTION 9.04. Time for Liquidation. A reasonable amount of time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Liquidation Agent to minimize the losses attendant upon such liquidation.

SECTION 9.05. Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the holders of Ownership Interests in the manner provided for in this Article IX, and the Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

SECTION 9.06. Claims of the Members. The Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member or any other Person. No Member with a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or to the other Members or to any creditor or other Person to restore such negative balance upon dissolution or termination of the Company or otherwise.

ARTICLE X
LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 10.01. Liability of Members. Except as otherwise provided under the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and neither any Member nor the Manager shall be obligated or liable for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company. Except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware, the debts, obligations and liabilities of any Member, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liability of such Member and neither any other Member, the Manager (in its capacity as such) nor the Company shall be obligated or liable for any such debt, obligation or liability of such Member.

SECTION 10.02. Indemnification by the Company. (a) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless any Member, the Manager or other Person (and any of their respective officers, directors, managers, employees and agents), who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Member, the Manager, or an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Manager or any Member, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, from and against

expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal sanction or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he, she or it 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 reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.

(b) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal 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 any Member, the Manager, or any officer, director, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Manager or any Member to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no further appeal may be taken or the time for appeal has lapsed that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.02.

(c) The Company shall maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Member, the Manager, or an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company, the Manager or any Member, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under this Section 10.02.

(d) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 10.02 shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Member, the Manager, or any officer, director, manager, employee or agent of the Company, the Manager or any Member, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and other legal successors of such Person.

(e) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, determination of Members or otherwise.

(f) Any indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Company (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Company and indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification), and the Members shall not, in such capacity, be subject to personal liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.

(g) No Person shall be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 10.02 because such 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.
