If agreement cannot be reached on any other matter submitted to a meeting of the Board, the matter shall be deemed not to have been approved and no further action will be taken to resolve the issue.

In furtherance of the foregoing, no Director shall be deemed to have violated this Agreement or be personally liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Member so long as such Director (i) acted in good faith, (ii) was neither grossly negligent nor engaged in willful misconduct and (iii) with respect to any criminal action, such Director has reasonable cause at the time of such action to believe that such Director’s conduct was not unlawful. In performing his or her duties, each Member or Director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid) of the following other Persons or groups: one or more employees of the Company (if applicable), any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Board; or any other Person who has been selected by or on behalf of the Company, or the Board, in each case, as to matters which such Member or Director reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s competence. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Section 6.01, nor the adoption of any other provision to this Agreement, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, any modification of Applicable Law, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 6.01 in respect of any acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.

(b) The Members acknowledge and agree that each Director shall be entitled to act under this Agreement and in such Director’s capacity as a member of the Board according to the instructions or direction of the Member that appointed such Director with respect to any matter that is under consideration or subject to approval by the Board, without liability to any other Member or other party hereto. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, subject to Section 6.01(a), whenever in this Agreement or otherwise the Board considers, approves or disapproves any action, each Director shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as he or she desires and may consider his or her own interests or the interests of the Member that appointed such Director (or Affiliates of such Member), as applicable, and shall have no other duty or obligation, fiduciary or otherwise, to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the Members or other parties hereto.

(c) Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at Applicable Law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Director shall have any duty to disclose to the Company or the Board the Confidential Information of the Member that designated such Director or any of their respective Affiliates in such Director’s possession even if it is material and relevant information to the Company and/or the Board and, in any case, such Director shall not be liable to the Company or the other Members or their Affiliates for breach of any duty (including the duty of loyalty or any other fiduciary duties) as a Director by reason of such lack of disclosure of such Confidential Information; provided, however, that such Director believes in good faith that its disclosure of such information would be prohibited by a confidentiality agreement with, or fiduciary duty to, another Person or under competition laws or other Applicable Law.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.01 shall limit any fiduciary duties owed by the Officers or employees of the Company in such capacities.

Section 6.02 Exculpation.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member, Director, Officer or Partnership Representative of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall be liable to the Company or to any other Person that is a party hereto or is otherwise bound hereby for any act or failure to act with respect to or in connection with the Company or the Company’s business or affairs, except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement.

(a) Except in the case of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, each Person (and the heirs, executors or administrators of such Person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such Person is or was an Indemnified Party, in each case, acting in their capacities as such, and such action, suit or proceeding relates to an act or omission of such Indemnified Party acting in its capacity as such, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Applicable Laws of the State of Delaware (including indemnification for acts or omissions constituting negligence, or gross negligence); provided, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not be available to a Member in the case of an action, suit or proceeding brought by the Company, a Member or any other party to this Agreement against such Member.

(b) The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 6.03 shall also include the right to be paid by the Company for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by the Applicable Laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Party to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.03 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement conferred in this Section 6.03 constitute contract rights.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03, the Company shall indemnify an Indemnified Party in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Party only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement of his or her reasonable counsel fees with respect to a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnified Party to enforce his or her right to indemnity or advancement of expenses under the provisions of this Section 6.03 to the extent that the Indemnified Party is successful on the merits in such proceeding (or part thereof).

(d) The Company shall also have the power to indemnify and hold harmless, to the same extent set forth in this Section 6.03, employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who are not Indemnified Parties and agents of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.04 Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VI shall survive the termination, voluntary or involuntary, of the status of a Member as such, the termination, voluntary or involuntary, of the status of any Indemnified Party or other Person as to whom the provisions of this Article VI apply as such and the termination of this Agreement or dissolution of the Company.

Section 6.05 Entry Into Force. The provisions of this Article VI shall be applicable to any action, suit or proceeding commenced after the date of this Agreement against any Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of such Indemnified Party acting in its capacity as such, whether occurring before or after the date of this Agreement. No amendment to or repeal of this Article VI, or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any amendment of Applicable Law, shall have any effect on the rights provided under this Article VI with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 6.06 No Exclusivity. The indemnification hereby provided and provided hereafter pursuant to the power hereby conferred by this Article VI on the Board shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any Person may be entitled (including under a separate indemnification agreement for each of the Directors), including any right under policies of insurance that may be purchased and maintained by the Company or others, with respect to claims, issues or matters in relation to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify such Person under the provisions of this Article VI. Such rights shall not prevent or restrict the power of the Company to make or provide for any further indemnity, or provisions for determining entitlement to indemnity, pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements or other arrangements (including creation of trust funds or security interests funded by letters of credit or other means) reasonably approved by the Board (whether or not any of the Members, Directors or Officers shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements or arrangements); provided, however, that any provision of such agreements or other arrangements shall not be effective if and to the extent that it is determined to be contrary to this Article VI or Applicable Law.

Section 6.07 Assets for Indemnification. Any indemnity under this Article VI shall be provided solely out of, and only to the extent of, the Company’s assets, and no Member or Affiliate of any Member shall be required directly to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VI.

Section 6.08 Covered Parties. None of the provisions of this Article VI shall be deemed to create any rights in favor of any Person other than Indemnified Parties and any other Person to whom the provisions of this Article VI expressly apply.

To the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Applicable Law, any Transfer by any Member of any Membership Interests or other interest in the Company (including any Transfer of any Person which directly or indirectly owns Membership Interests) in contravention of this Agreement shall be ineffective and null and void ab initio and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other Person. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, to the greatest extent permitted by the Act and other Applicable Law, the purported transferee shall have no right to any profits, losses or distributions of the Company or any other rights of a Member.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any party hereto may waive any right of such party under this Agreement by an instrument signed in writing by such party. Except as specifically provided herein, the failure or delay of any party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance. Except as specifically provided herein, all remedies, either under this Agreement or by Applicable Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 13.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and cancel all prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both oral and written, between the parties hereto with respect thereto, and there are no agreements, undertakings, representations or warranties of any of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby other than those set forth herein or therein or made hereunder or thereunder.

Section 13.07 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, on any Person other than the Company and the parties hereto, and their respective successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities, except that any Person who is entitled to exculpation, indemnification or advancement pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement and is not party to this Agreement shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent required for purposes of such Article VI.

Section 13.08 Non-Assignability; Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable other than in connection with a Transfer permitted pursuant to Article IX or Section 10.03. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 13.08 shall be null and void.

Section 13.09 Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is declared or held illegal or invalid, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement, and such provision shall be deemed amended or modified to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to cure such illegality or invalidity. Upon such determination of illegality or invalidity, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to effect the original intent of the parties. In any event, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision, in any other competent jurisdiction.

Section 13.10 Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that a violation of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the other parties and the Company irreparable injury for which an adequate remedy at law is not available. Accordingly, the parties hereto expressly agree that in addition to any other remedy that each of the parties and the Company may be entitled to in law or in equity, each of the parties hereto and the Company shall, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms of this Agreement and any injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief that may be necessary to prevent any breach(es) thereof.

Section 13.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the provisions of the Act, and other Applicable Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

Section 13.12 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including Section 13.10, but excluding a Deadlock Matter) or the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties shall first refer the dispute to proceedings under the Rules of Mediation, without prejudice to any party’s right to seek emergency or conservatory measures of protection at any time pursuant to the Rules of Arbitration. The seat, or legal place, of mediation shall be Tokyo, Japan, and the proceedings shall be conducted in Japanese.

(b) If any such dispute has not been settled pursuant to the Rules of Mediation within 40 days following the filing of a request for mediation (or within such other period that the parties may agree in writing), such dispute shall thereafter be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration. The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Tokyo, Japan, and the proceedings shall be conducted in Japanese. The parties agree that disputes under this Agreement may be dealt with in a single arbitration and, therefore, the parties would agree in advance to any joinder or consolidation necessary under the Rules of Arbitration to achieve that.

Section 13.13 Notices.

(a) All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by overnight courier service, by e-mail or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses:
