The termination of any Proceeding by 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 such Person 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 such Person’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Director or Officer, or is or was a Director or Officer serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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; provided, that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
(c) Successful Defense. To the extent that a present or former Director or Officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 20(a) or Section 20(b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection therewith.
4
(d) Indemnification of Others. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 20, the Company shall have power to indemnify and advance expenses to its employees and agents to the extent not prohibited by the Act or other applicable law.

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an Officer or Director in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the Person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 20 or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former Directors and Officers or other employees and agents of the Company or by Persons serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 20(f)(ii) or Section 20(f)(iii) prior to a determination that the Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
(f) Limitations on Indemnification. Subject to the requirements in Section 20(c) and the DGCL, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Person pursuant to this Section 20 in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):
(i) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such Person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(ii) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such Person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(vi) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Section 20 (including each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
(g) Determination; Claim.
(i) Any indemnification of a present or former Director or Officer under this Section 20 shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Director or Officer is proper in the circumstances because the Person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 20(a) or Section 20(b), as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a Person who is a Director or Officer at the time of such determination, by the Member.
(ii) If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 20 is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall indemnify such Person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such Person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company under this Section 20, to the extent such Person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. In any such suit, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.
(iii) To the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, each Person who may be entitled to advancement of expenses or indemnification hereunder, or other Person to whom advancement of expenses or indemnification has been made hereunder, agrees that all actions for the advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this Section 20 or otherwise shall be a matter to which Section 18-111 of the Act shall apply and which shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery.
