by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any loss, liability, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8
Exhibit A |
Section 7.2 Fiduciary Duty.
(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be
liable to the Company for such Covered Person’s good faith reliance on the provisions of 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 by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make decisions in good faith, the Covered Person shall act under
such standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including Section 18-1101(c) of the
Act) and except as otherwise provided herein, no manager, director or Member (or any of its Affiliates) shall have any duty (fiduciary or otherwise), at law or in equity, or any liability relating thereto, to the Company, or to any other Member (or
Affiliate thereof) with respect to or in connection with the Company or its business or affairs. To the fullest extent permitted under the Global Act, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that Covered Persons may act in accordance with the
interests of the Member (or any of its Affiliates) that appointed such Covered Person in considering matters that may come before the Covered Persons for their consideration and shall have no liability to the Company or the other Members for breach
of the fiduciary duty of loyalty as a result of any action taken or approval given by a Covered Person that inures to the benefit of the Member (or any of its Affiliates) that appointed such Covered Person.
(b) 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 presented to the Company by any person or entity
as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such person’s or entity’s professional or expert competence.
Section 7.3 Indemnification of Covered Persons in Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a Covered Person
(which shall mean for purposes of this Article a director or officer of the Company) and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any “third party proceeding” (which shall include for purposes of this Article any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person was or is a Covered Person of the Company,
against expenditures (which shall include for purposes of this Article attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such third party 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, with respect to any criminal third party proceeding (including any action or investigation which could or
does lead to a criminal third party proceeding), had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. The termination of any third party 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 Covered Person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or (ii) with respect to any
criminal third party proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.
9
Exhibit A |
Section 7.4 Indemnification of Covered Persons in Company Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a Covered Person and who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any “company proceeding” (which shall include for purposes of this Article any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor and any investigative proceeding by the
Company) by reason of the fact that such person was or is a Covered Person of the Company, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such corporate action if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, 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 for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such company proceedings was pending shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 7.5 Mandatory Indemnification of Covered Persons. To the extent that a Covered Person of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any third party or other proceeding or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Section 7.6 Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 7.3, 7.4, or 7.5 hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances because such person has either met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.3 or 7.4 or has been successful on the merits or
otherwise as set forth in Section 7.5 and that the amount requested has been actually and reasonably incurred. Such determination shall be made:
(a) By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such third party or corporate proceeding; or
(b) If such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a majority vote of such a quorum so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
(c) By the Member.
10
Exhibit A |
Section 7.7 Advancing Expenses. Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending a third party or company proceeding shall be paid on behalf of a Covered Person by the Company in
advance of the final disposition of such third party or corporate proceeding and within 30 days of receipt by the Secretary of the Company of (i) an application from such Covered Person setting forth the basis for such application, and (ii) if
required by law at the time such application is made, an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under this Article.
The financial ability of such Covered Person to make such repayment shall not be a prerequisite to the making of an advance.
Section 7.8 Scope of Article. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article shall (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of the Member or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, (ii) unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Covered Person and (iii) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 7.9 Reliance on Provisions. Each person who shall act as a Covered Person of the Company shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance upon the rights of indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by this Article.
Section 7.10 Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Covered Person against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any
such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article or otherwise.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 Waiver of Notice. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Formation, any notice required to be given under the provisions of this Agreement, or otherwise, may be waived in writing by
the Member, director or officer to whom such notice is required to be given, either before or after the meeting or action of which notice is waived. Attendance of the Member and of any director or officer at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting except where a person entitled to notice attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. The Member or director who signs a
written consent, in lieu of a meeting, as provided for in this Agreement, shall be deemed to have waived any notice of such meeting.
Section 8.2 Checks, Notes, Etc. All checks, notes and evidences of indebtedness of the Company shall be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time
designate or the Board of Directors may adopt a single symbol to be affixed to such documents. In either case, the signature of such person or persons, or a symbol, if such is adopted, and any facsimile or facsimiles thereof, shall be an “authorized
signature” of the Company and shall be affixed to such checks, notes, and evidence of indebtedness in such manner, and by such persons, as the Board of Directors shall authorize.
11
Exhibit A |
Section 8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, altered or repealed, or a new Agreement may be adopted by the Member or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, at any regular
meeting of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the Board of Directors if notice of the proposed amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption of a new agreement be contained in the notice of such special meeting. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amendment, modification or supplement (taken together with all previous amendments, modifications or supplements) shall materially adversely affect a Member on a discriminatory basis without such Member’s consent. The Company shall
notify the Member after any such amendment, modification or supplement has taken effect.
Section 8.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
Section 8.5 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed
in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.
Section 8.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article VII with respect to the exculpation and indemnification of Covered Persons, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any
rights upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.
Section 8.7 Certificates.
(a) General. The Member shall be entitled to a certificate representing its interest in the Company in such form as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors. Such certificate shall be
signed by an officer of the Company, which signature may be a facsimile thereof. In case the officer of the Company who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been place on such certificate shall have ceased to be an officer of the Company
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such person were an officer of the Company at the time of its issue. The certificate shall contain a legend with respect to any restrictions on transfer.
(b) Application of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Each limited liability company interest in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of
the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of [State of Filing], and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter
substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the State of [State of Filing], (the “UCC”), such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.
12
