Section 17. Liability and Indemnification.
a) | Limited Liability. The Member shall not have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Company except to the extent provided in the Act. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, the Member and the Company hereby waive any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligation of each Covered Person to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Covered Person has duties to the Company (or to any other person relating to the Company) and liabilities related thereto, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other person for such Covered Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. |
b) | Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person in good faith. |
c) | Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, net income or losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions might properly be paid) of the following Persons or groups: (i) another Member; (ii) one or more officers or employees of the Company or of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries; (iii) any valuation expert, attorney, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or by any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries; or (iv) any other person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying person reasonably believes to be within such other person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in § 18-406 of the Delaware Act. Whenever a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person’s “good faith” or under another express standard, the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other applicable law. |
d) | Liability of Covered Persons. None of the Member, any officer of the Company, nor any employee, director, officer, agent, shareholder, member, affiliate, agent, partner or |

representative of the Member, and each of their affiliates (each a “Covered Person”), shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company by reason of acts, omissions or errors in judgment, except for acts, omissions or errors in judgment that are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be the result of such person’s fraud or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 17(d) shall not be construed so as to relieve (or attempt to relieve) a person of any liability to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 17(d) to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
e) | Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Covered Person from and against any loss, liability, damages, cost or expense (including legal fees and expenses and any amounts paid in settlement) (each a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) resulting from a claim, demand, lawsuit, action or proceeding by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company; provided that such acts or omissions of such Covered Person are not found by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud or willful misconduct. Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a Covered Person and relating to any claim, demand, lawsuit, action or proceeding for which indemnification is sought under this Section shall be paid by the Company upon demand by the Covered Person; provided that the Covered Person shall reimburse the Company for such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. |
