Member, and the Member may exercise such management authority in its sole discretion. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Member shall have the power and authority to bind the
Company and to do any and all acts necessary, convenient or incidental to or for the furtherance of
the purpose of the Company described herein, including all powers and authorities, statutory or
otherwise, possessed by members of a limited liability company under the Act or other applicable

normally associated with that office. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 14 may be revoked at
any time by the Member.
15. Other Business. The Member or its affiliates may, now or in the future, engage in

fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful violation of law, and (iii) with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, was suffered or taken without reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.

favor of Indemnified Parties that cannot be discharged out of the assets of the Company or in favor
of anyone other than Indemnified Parties and the other parties listed in the first sentence of
Section 16(e); this provision excludes, among others, any right of subrogation in favor of any
