EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.01 Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or the management of its business or affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for any debts, liabilities, or obligations of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, the Members, in such Member's capacity as such, shall have no liability in excess of (a) the amount of such Member's net Capital Contributions, (b) such Member's share of any assets and undistributed profits of the Company, and (c) the amount of any distributions required to be returned pursuant to the Delaware Act.
Section 10.02 Indemnification.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted, or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution, or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution, or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Delaware Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution, or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay, and reimburse any Covered Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, "Losses") to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of:
(i) Any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed on behalf of the Company in connection with the business of the Company; or
(ii) The fact that such Covered Person is or was acting in connection with the business of the Company as a manager, officer, employee, or agent of the Company or that such Covered Person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee, or agent of any other Person;
provided, that (x) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his, her, or its conduct was unlawful, and (y) such Covered Person's conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach by such Covered Person of any of such Covered Person's or his, her, or its Affiliates' agreements contained herein or in any other agreements with the Company, in either case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit, or 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 did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person's conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person's conduct constituted fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or a material breach by such Covered Person of any of such Covered Person's or his, her, or its Affiliates' agreements contained herein or in any other agreements with the Company.
Section 10.03 Advancement. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend, or defending any claim relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10.02(a) shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent that, in respect of such matter, such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification for such Losses; provided, however, that the Covered Person shall have provided to the Company (i) written affirmation of such Covered Person's good faith belief that he, she, or it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification for such Losses under Section 10.02(a); and (ii) an undertaking to repay all such advanced amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to such indemnification.
Section 10.04 Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by Section 10.02 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of Section 10.02 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless of whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under Section 10.02 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees, and distributees of such Covered Person.
Section 10.05 Survival. The provisions of this ARTICLE X shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company.

Section 11.06 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under Applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 11.10 Amendment.
(a) No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and the Class A Member. Any such written amendment or modification will be binding upon the Company and each Member; provided, that (i) an amendment or modification modifying the rights or obligations of (x) any Member in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such Member relative to the rights of other Members in respect of Units of the same class or series or (y) a class or series of Units in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such class or series relative to the rights of another class or series of Units, shall in either case be effective only with that Member's consent, and (ii) any amendment or modification of this Section 11.10 shall require the approval of all Members.

Section 11.11 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 11.11 shall diminish any of the explicit and implicit waivers described in this Agreement.
Section 11.12 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the application, construction, validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.
Section 11.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action, or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action, or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action, or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient form. Service of process, summons, notice, or other document by registered mail to the address set forth in Section 11.04 shall be effective service of process for any suit, action, or other proceeding brought in any such court.
Section 11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 11.15 [Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any party hereto institutes any legal suit, action, or proceeding, including arbitration, against another party in respect of a matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in the suit, action, or proceeding shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all other damages to which he, she, or it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action, or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and court costs.

A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email, or other means of Electronic Transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
Section 11.18 Spousal Consent. Each Member who has a Spouse on the date of this Agreement shall cause such Member's Spouse to execute and deliver to the Company a spousal consent (a "Spousal Consent"), pursuant to which such Spouse shall acknowledge that he or she has read and understood the Agreement and agrees to be bound by its terms and conditions.
