Article VIII.
Indemnification
Section 8.1. Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Manager and Named
Officer (individually, an "Indemnitee") shall be indemnified, held harmless and
defended by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and
expenses), judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement, incurred or
suffered by such Indemnitee, as a party or otherwise, in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or
informal, arising out of or in connection with the business or the operation of
the Company and by reason of the Indemnitee's status as a Manager or Named
Officer regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to be a Manager or Named
Officer of the Company at the time any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
other expense is paid or incurred if (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful, (ii)
9
the Indemnitee's conduct did not constitute intentional misconduct or a material
breach of the terms of this Agreement and (iii) the Indemnitee's conduct did not
involve a transaction from which the Manager or Named Officer derived an
improper personal benefit. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
judgment, order, settlement or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee acted
in a manner contrary to the standards specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of
this Section 8.1(a).
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an
Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to
this Section 8.1 shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to
the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to
repay such amount unless it is determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to be
indemnified therefor pursuant to this Section 8.1.
(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 8.1 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which any Indemnitee may be entitled under any
other agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Managers, as a matter of law or
otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, legal representatives,
successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnities.
(d) Any indemnification under this Section 8.1 shall be satisfied
solely out of the assets of the Company and no Indemnitee shall have any
recourse against the Member with respect to such indemnification.
(e) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 8.1 merely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the
transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies, if the
transaction was not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and the
conduct of the Indemnitee satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a).
(f) The Company may, but shall have no obligation to, purchase and
maintain insurance covering any potential liability of the Indemnitees for any
actions or omissions for which indemnification is permitted hereunder, including
such types of insurance (including extended coverage liability and casualty and
workers' compensation) as would be customary for any person engaged in a similar
business, and may name the Indemnitees as additional insured parties thereunder.
Section 8.2. Indemnification Procedures; Survival.
(a) An Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing within 30 days
after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action that
may result in a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1; provided,
however, that any omission so to notify the Company will not relieve it of any
liability for indemnification hereunder as to the particular item for which
indemnification may then be sought (except to the extent that the failure to
give notice shall have been materially prejudicial to the Company) nor from any
other liability that it may have to any Indemnitee.
10
(b) An Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
any action as to which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this
Agreement and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless (i) the
Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Company
has failed to assume the defense thereof and employ counsel within a reasonable
period of time after being given the notice required above or (iii) the
Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such
Indemnitee and other parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation
by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in
connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
only one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having
actual or potential differing interests with the Company, unless but only to the
extent, the Indemnitees have actual or potential differing interests with each
other.
(c) The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written
consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnitee in any such
action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the
extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d) The indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1 and
this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

secured creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not
