INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 7.1 Right to Indemnification. Subject to the other provisions of this Article
VII, the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to every Special Member, Director and officer
(and to such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives)
(collectively, the “Covered Persons”) in the manner, and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all amounts
(including judgments, fines, payments in settlement, attorneys’ fees and other expenses)
reasonably incurred by or on behalf of any such Covered Person in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (a “proceeding”), in which such Covered Person was or is made or is threatened to be
made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such Covered Person is or was a
Special Member, Director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the
Company as a Special Member, Director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. The Company shall
not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if
the proceeding was not authorized by the Board.
SECTION 7.2 Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, pay the expenses of any Covered Person incurred in defending any proceeding in
advance of its final disposition (“advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that the payment
of expenses incurred by a Covered Person in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding
shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by such Covered Person to repay all amounts
advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be
indemnified under this Article VII or otherwise.
SECTION 7.3 Claims by Covered Persons. If a claim for indemnification or advancement
of expenses by a Covered Person under this Article VII is not paid in full within ninety (90) days
after a written claim therefor has been received by the Company, the claimant may file suit to
recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled
to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the
Company shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested
indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.
SECTION 7.4 Indemnification of Employees. Subject to the other provisions of this
Article VII, the Company may indemnify and advance expenses to every employee who is not a
Director or officer (and to such person’s heirs, executors, administrators or other legal
representatives) in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it
presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all amounts (including judgments,
fines, payments in settlement, attorneys’ fees and other expenses) reasonably incurred by or on
behalf of such person in connection with any proceeding, in which such employee was or is made or
is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such person is
or was an employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
Director, officer, employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. The ultimate determination of entitlement to
indemnification of employees who are not officers and Directors shall be made in such manner as is
provided by applicable law. The Company shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection
with a proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized by the Board.
SECTION 7.5 Advancement of Expenses of Employees. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, the advancement of expenses of an employee who is not an officer or Director shall be made by
or in the manner determined by the Board.
SECTION 7.6 Non-Exclusivity Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this
Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter
acquire under any statute, provision of this Agreement, action of the Member or disinterested
Directors or otherwise.
SECTION 7.7 Other Indemnification. The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any
person who was or is serving at its request as a Director, officer or employee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced
by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.
SECTION 7.8 Insurance. The Board may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate
officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Company’s expense insurance: (a) to indemnify
the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of Directors,
officers and employees under the provisions of this Article VII; and (b) to indemnify or insure
Directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise
be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article VII.
SECTION 7.9 Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing
provisions of this Article VII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any
person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or
modification.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not be
obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Article VII unless the Company has received funds or
has funds on hand which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay
any other Obligations of the Company when due. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any amount
which the Company does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not
constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or obligation of, the
Company.

BANKRUPTCY; WAIVER OF PARTITION
SECTION 8.1 [RESERVED].
SECTION 8.2 Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interest. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Member and the
Special Member hereby irrevocably waives any right or power that such Member might have to cause
the Company or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all
or any portion of the assets of the Company, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets
of the Company pursuant to any applicable law or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. The Member shall not have any
interest in any specific assets of the Company, and the Member shall not have the status of
creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to this Agreement. The interest of the Member in
the Company is personal property.
SECTION 8.3 Assignments. The Member, with the unanimous approval of the Board of
Directors (including the Independent Directors), may assign all of its limited liability company
interest in the Company. If the Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in
the Company pursuant to this Section 8.3, the transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a
member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to
this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer and,
immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the
Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to the Member
by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Transaction Documents shall, without further act,
be the Member hereunder, and such merger of consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for
purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution. The Member shall
provide prior written notice of any proposed assignment to each Rating Agency then rating any
Security that remains outstanding but only if such rating was initially provided at the request of
the Company, any Trust or Holdco, or an affiliate thereof.
SECTION 8.4 Resignation. So long as any indebtedness of the Company is outstanding,
the Member may not resign. If the Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 8.4, an
additional Member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an
instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such
admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately
following such admission, the resigning Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company.
SECTION 8.5 Admission of Additional Members. One or more additional Members of the
Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Member and upon execution of
a counterpart to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.6 Dissolution.

of the following: (i) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the
Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last
remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the business of the Company is continued in a
manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act; or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial
dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last
remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the Member to
cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without
dissolution upon (i) an assignment by the Member of all of its limited liability company interest
in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Section 8.3, or (ii) the resignation
of the Member and the admission of an additional Member of the Company pursuant to Section 8.4), to
the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby
authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated
the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (A) to continue the
Company and (B) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the
case may be, as a substitute member, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated
the continued membership of such member in the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of any Member or
Special Member shall not cause such Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member
of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without
dissolution. “Bankruptcy” means, with respect to any Person, if such Person (i) makes an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, (iii) is adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against it an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings, (iv) files a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization,
arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or
regulation, (v) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material
allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature, (vi) seeks, consents
to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or
any substantial part of its properties, or (vii) if 120 days after the commencement of any
proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, if the proceeding has not been
dismissed, or if within 90 days after the appointment without such Person’s consent or acquiescence
of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of such Person or of all or any substantial part of its
properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any
such stay, the appointment is not vacated. The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” is
intended to replace and shall supersede and replace the definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth
in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Act.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Member and the Special
Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve the Company upon the
Bankruptcy of such Member or Special Member, or the occurrence of an event that causes such Member
or Special Member to cease to be a member of the Company.
(d) In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are
necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly
manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of
priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; provided, that in the event of dissolution, the
Company shall not liquidate any asset that is securing any obligation of the Company that has been
rated by one or more rating agencies at the request of the Company, unless the Company has obtained
the consent of each holder of such rated obligation (and except that such asset shall continue to
be serviced in the ordinary course).
(e) The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment or
other satisfaction of the Obligations and all other debts, liabilities and obligations of the
Company, shall have been distributed to the Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement and
(ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.
