(b) Subject to, and as limited by the provisions of this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement, the Directors, in the performance of their duties as such, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act and other applicable law, owe any duties (including fiduciary duties) as a Director of the Company to the Company, the Sole Member or any other Person, notwithstanding anything to the contrary existing at law, in equity or otherwise. In furtherance of and subject to the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act and other applicable law, (i) a Sponsor Director shall only owe duties to the Sponsor who designated such Director, and shall be permitted to act solely in the best interests of such Sponsor and not the Sole Member or the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) a Director who is not a Sponsor Director shall only owe fiduciary duties to the Sole Member, and shall be permitted to act solely in the best interests of the Sole Member and not the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the fullest extent permitted by Section 18-1101(c) of the Delaware Act, (i) a Sponsor Director, in performing his or her obligations under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Sponsor who designated such Director, in such Sponsor’s sole discretion, considering only such factors, including the separate interests of the designating Sponsor, as such Director or the designating Sponsor chooses to consider, and any action of such Director or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith

reliance on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a breach of any duty on the part of such Director or designating Sponsor to the Sole Member, the Company or any other Director and (ii) a Director who is not a Sponsor Director, in performing his or her obligations under this Agreement, shall be entitled to act or omit to act at the direction of the Sole Member, in such Sole Member’s sole discretion, considering only such factors as such Director or the Sole Member chooses to consider, and any action of such Director or failure to act, taken or omitted in good faith reliance on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1 shall not constitute a breach of any duty on the part of such Director or the Sole Member to the Company or any other Director.

(c) To the extent that the officers (in their capacities as such), make a determination or cause the Company to take or decline to take any other action, then unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, the officers shall make such determination or cause the Company to take or decline to take such other action in the subjective belief that the determination or other action is in, or not adverse to, the best interest of the Company and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not otherwise be subject to any other or different standards or duties imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other applicable law or in equity.

(d) No Director or officer shall have any liability to the Company or the Sole Member for any losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of any act or omission of such Director or officer in connection with the conduct of the business of the Company if (a) in the case of an officer, the officer acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be not adverse to the best interests of the Company and to be within the scope of his or her authority and (b) in the case of a Director or officer, the conduct did not constitute bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except as required by the Delaware Act, the Company’s debts, obligations, and liabilities, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and neither the Sole Member nor any officer or Director shall be personally responsible for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being the Sole Member or an officer or Director. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities of a Director or officer otherwise existing at law, in equity or by operation of the preceding sentences, are agreed by the Company and the Sole Member to replace such duties and liabilities of such Director or officer.

appeals, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee acting (or omitting or refraining to act) in such capacity; provided, that the Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed that the Sole Member shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification.

(c) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under this Agreement, any other agreement, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.

(d) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance (or reimburse the Sole Member or its Affiliates for the cost of), on behalf of the Company, its Affiliates, the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Company shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of this Section 7.2: (i) the Company shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to

applicable law shall constitute “fines” within the meaning of Section 7.2(a); and (iii) action taken or omitted by it with respect to any employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the best interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose that is in the best interests of the Company.

(f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Sole Member to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.2 because the Indemnitee 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.

(h) The provisions of this Section 7.2 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

(i) No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.2 or any provision hereof shall in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

(j) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 7.2(a), THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.2 ARE INTENDED BY THE SOLE MEMBER TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

Section 7.3 Liability of Indemnitees.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity, to the fullest extent allowed by law, no Indemnitee or any of its employees or Persons acting on its behalf shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company or the Sole Member for losses sustained or liabilities incurred, of any kind or character, as a result of any act or omission of an Indemnitee or any of its employees or Persons acting on its behalf unless and to the extent there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter in question, the Indemnitee or any of its employees or Persons acting on its behalf engaged in fraud, willful misconduct or, in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Board of Directors and any committee thereof may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through the Company’s officers or agents, and neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such officer or agent appointed by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof in good faith.

DISSOLUTION, WINDING-UP, TERMINATION AND CONVERSION

Section 10.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be of perpetual duration; however, the Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the election to dissolve the Company by the Sole Member. No other event shall cause a dissolution of the Company.

Section 10.2 Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Article X, the Sole Member shall select one or more Persons to act as Liquidator. The Liquidator (if other than the Sole Member) shall be entitled to receive such compensation for its services as may be approved by the Sole Member. The Liquidator (if other than the Sole Member) shall agree not to resign at any time without 15 days’ prior notice and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by notice of removal approved by the Sole Member. Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within 30 days thereafter be approved by the Sole Member. The right to approve a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator approved in the manner herein provided. Except as expressly provided in this Article X, the Liquidator approved in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of the Sole Member, all of the powers conferred upon the Sole Member under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers) necessary or appropriate to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during the period of time required to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Company as provided for herein.

for a reasonable time if it determines that an immediate sale or distribution of all or some of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Sole Member. The Liquidator may distribute the Company’s assets, in whole or in part, in kind if it determines that a sale would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Sole Member.

(b) Liabilities of the Company include amounts owed to the Liquidator as compensation for serving in such capacity (subject to the terms of Section 10.2) and amounts to the Sole Member otherwise than in respect of its rights to distribution under Section 3.2. With respect to any liability that is contingent, conditional or unmatured or is otherwise not yet due and payable, the Liquidator shall either settle such claim for such amount as it thinks appropriate or establish a reserve of cash or other assets to provide for its payment. When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

Section 11.7 Waiver.

Section 11.11 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is or becomes for any reason, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and/or parts thereof contained herein shall not be affected thereby and this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reformed and construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never been contained herein, and such provisions and/or part shall be reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 11.12 Facsimile and Email Signatures.
