(b) The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a member or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a member, manager, director or officer of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
(c) The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person the reasonable, documented expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person for which such Indemnified Person could reasonably be expected to be entitled to indemnity in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that any such advance shall only be made if the Indemnified Person delivers a written affirmation by the Indemnified Person of its good faith belief that it is entitled to indemnification hereunder and agrees to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that it is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.
