majority of the members of the Board or of such committee are present in the U.S. at the time of
signing.

administrative services on behalf of the Company, in order to assure that complete and accurate

by the same person. In their discretion the Board may choose not to fill any office for any period
as they may deem advisable.
Section 5.9 Reliance by Board, Officers and Agents. The Board and any Officers or other agents of
the Company shall, in the performance of their duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith

and delivered by, the Company shall be executed and delivered by (i) any one of the Directors, (ii)
any one of the Officers, or (iii) such other Person or Persons as the Board may determine from time
to time.
Section 6. Indemnification.
Section 6.1 General Indemnity.
7
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the Company, to the extent of its assets
legally available for that purpose, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Person who was or is
made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in or participates as a witness
with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (each a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he
or she is the legal representative, is or was a Director, an Officer, or employee or is or was
servicing at the request of the Company as a manager, Director, Officer, employee, fiduciary or
agent of another entity, (collectively, the “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all
loss, cost, damage, fine, expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other
advisors and any court costs incurred by any Indemnified Person) or liability actually and
reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding 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 and except 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 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 such court
shall deem proper. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, 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 or in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
(b) The Company may pay in advance or reimburse reasonable expenses (including advancing
reasonable costs of defense) incurred by an Indemnified Person who is or is threatened to be named
or made a defendant or a respondent in a Proceeding; provided, however, that as a condition to any
such advance or reimbursement, such Indemnified Person shall agree that it shall repay the same to
the Company if such Indemnified Person is finally judicially determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.
(c) The Company shall not be required to indemnify a Person in connection with a Proceeding
initiated by such Person against the Company or any of its subsidiaries if the Proceeding was not
authorized by the Board. The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of any
Indemnified Person shall be made by the Board in such manner as the Board may determine.
(d) Any and all indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to any Indemnified Person
shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The indemnification and other rights provided for
in this Section 6 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any
Person entitled to such indemnification.
Section 6.2 Insurance. Unless otherwise agreed by the Board, the Company may maintain, at its
expense, insurance (a) to indemnify Company for any Obligations which it incurs as a result of the
indemnification of Indemnified Persons under the provisions of this Section 6, and (b) to indemnify
Indemnified Persons in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company
under the provisions of this Section 6.
8
Section 6.3 Rights Non-Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses
incurred in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section
6 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under
any law, provision of this Agreement, any other agreement, any vote of the Shareholder or
disinterested Directors or otherwise.
Section 6.4 Merger or Consolidation; Other Entities. For purposes of this Section 6, references to
“the Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its
separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its managers,
Directors, Officers, employees or agents, so that any Person who is or was a manager, Director,
Officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent company as a manager, Director, Officer, employee or agent of another company,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this
Section 6 with respect to the resulting or surviving company as he or she would have with respect
to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Section
6, references to “another entity” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall
include any excise taxes assessed on a Person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and
references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a manager,
Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Company that imposes duties on, or involves services
by, such manager, Director, Officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan,
its participants or beneficiaries; and a Person who acted in good faith and in a manner such Person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to
the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Section 6.
Section 6.5 No Member Recourse. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any indemnity by
the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 6 shall be provided out of and to the
extent of Company assets only and the Shareholder shall not have personal liability on account
thereof or shall be required to make additional capital contributions to help satisfy such
indemnity of the Company.
