(b) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless 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 or it (i) is or was a Member or officer of the Company or (ii) is or was an employee of the Company or a director, member, officer or employee of any subsidiary of the Company who the Sole Member

expressly designates as being entitled to the rights to indemnification set forth in this Section 14(b) (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 unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which such person is seeking indemnification or seeking to be held harmless hereunder, such person engaged in a bad faith violation of the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(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.
(d) The right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification provided by this Section 14 shall be in addition to any and all other rights to which an Indemnified Person may be entitled under any agreement, as a matter of law or otherwise and shall continue as to a Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity in which such Person was designated as a Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of such Indemnified Person.
(e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Sole Member to replace, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.
(f) The obligations of the Company to the Indemnified Persons in this Section 14 or arising at law are solely the obligations of the Company. The satisfaction of any obligations under this Section 14 shall be from and limited to Company’s assets, including insurance proceeds, if any, and no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, the Sole Member for such obligations.
