- 2 -
against any claim or alleged claim and any tax imposed on an Indemnitee in respect of amounts of indemnification received hereunder) of any nature whatsoever, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnitee and arise out of or in connection with the affairs of the LLC. In furtherance of the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless there has been a final, non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claim giving rise to such indemnification was caused solely by Indemnitee’s conduct and such conduct constituted fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this section shall continue to afford protection to each Indemnitee regardless of whether such Indemnitee remains the Member or any Affiliate of the Member, or an officer, director, employee, stockholder, partner (limited and/or general), manager, consultant or agent of any such member or Affiliate. The satisfaction of any indemnification and any holding harmless pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall be from and limited to LLC assets (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the LLC, its officers or employees are entitled to indemnification), and the Member shall not have any personal liability on account thereof.
Section 1.10. Insurance. The LLC may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other persons as the Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such person in connection with the LLC’s activities, regardless of whether the LLC would have the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The LLC shall purchase such insurance if it is available on terms the Member concludes are reasonable.
Section 1.11. No Rights of Recovery. The LLC acknowledges and agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the Member or any of its Affiliates, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the LLC, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable law, or otherwise.
Section 1.12. Covenant Not to Xxx. The LLC hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that it shall not institute, directly or indirectly, and shall cause its Affiliates not to institute, in the name of or on behalf of any of the LLC or any other person, any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement or otherwise relating hereto, against the Indemnitees.
Section 1.13. Suits and Judgments. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, by itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 1.14. Rights. The right of any Indemnitee to the indemnification expressly provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled to by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.
Section 1.15. Expenses. Expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the LLC prior to the final disposition thereof after receipt of an undertaking by or
- 3 -
on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if there is a final adjudication, after all possible appeals have been exhausted, by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
Section 1.16. Exculpation. Except as otherwise required by law or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Member shall not be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the LLC or any Affiliate of the LLC for any act or omission performed or omitted by any of them, except for any act or omission with respect to which a court of competent jurisdiction has issued a final, nonappealable judgment that the Member was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct.
Section 1.17. Liability of Member. Except as otherwise required by law or as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the LLC, and the Member shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being the Member, whether to the LLC, to the creditors of the LLC or to any other third person.
Section 1.18. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Agreement is invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
Section 1.19. Amendments. The Member may amend this Agreement at any time by written instrument signed by it and filed with the records of the Company. Pending any replacement or amendment of this Agreement, it is intended that the provisions of the Act be controlling as to any matters not set forth in this Agreement.
