insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as a Director
without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity.

behalf of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified;
[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain
rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by Avenue Capital Group which Indemnitee and Avenue Capital Group

ARTICLE III
AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY
AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY
3.1 General.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Indemnitee from any Liabilities and Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee by reason of
(or arising in part out of) any event or occurrence (a) related to Indemnitee’s Status or (b)
related to any act performed or omitted to be performed by the Indemnitee in connection with such
Status (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that if
the Liability or claim arises out of any action or inaction of an Indemnitee, indemnification under
this Section 3.1 shall be available to the Indemnitee only if the Liability or claim was not
primarily attributable to the Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or a material
violation of the LLC Agreement by Indemnitee; provided, further, however,
that indemnification under this Section 3.1 shall be recoverable only from the assets of the
Company (including insurance proceeds) and not from any assets of the members of the Company (other
than the Company itself).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the indemnification obligations of the Company under
Section 3.1(a) above shall be subject to the condition that it shall not have been determined in
accordance with Section 3.1(c) below, that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified
under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation of the Company to make an advance payment of Expenses
to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above (an “Expense Advance”) shall be subject to
the condition that if, when and to the extent that it is determined in accordance with Section
3.1(c) below that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the
Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the
Company) for all Expense Advance theretofore paid; provided, however, that if
Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent
jurisdiction to secure a determination that he or she should be indemnified under applicable law,
any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to
reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with
respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed).
Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no
interest shall be charged thereon. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Reviewing Party”
shall mean (x) any appropriate person or body consisting of a Director or Directors or any other
person or body appointed by the Directors who is not a party to the particular claim for which
Indemnitee is seeking indemnification or (y) independent legal counsel.
(c) The Reviewing Party shall determine whether or not the Indemnitee would be permitted to be
indemnified under applicable law and any such determination shall be made in writing, specifying in
reasonable detail the reasons therefore, and delivered to Indemnitee. If there has been no
determination by the Reviewing Party or if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not
be permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the
right to commence litigation in any court in the State of Delaware having subject matter
jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or
challenging any such determination by
the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and
the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.
3.2 Insurance. The Company shall pay for standard director and officer liability
insurance covering liability of the Indemnitee for performance of his or her duties in such
amounts, and with the scope of such coverage to be customary for a Company of like size with
similar operations. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company of a notice of a claim from
Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has liability insurance in effect which may
cover such claim, the Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to provide prompt written
notice of the commencement of such claim to such insurers in accordance with the procedures set
forth in each of such policies. The Company shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such claim
in accordance with the terms of such policies.
3.3 Exculpation. The Indemnitee shall not be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the
Company or to any member of the Company for any loss that arises out of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by him or her pursuant to the authority granted by the Organizational
Documents except for any losses primarily attributable to the Indemnitee’s willful misconduct, bad
faith, recklessness or gross negligence.
3.4 Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee is required to be a witness by reason of
Indemnitee’s Status in any Proceeding to which the Indemnitee is not a party, he or she shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in
connection therewith.
3.5 Conclusive Presumption Regarding Standard of Care. In making any determination
required to be made under law with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person,
persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement , and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome
that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity, including any
court or arbitrator, of any determination contrary to that presumption.
3.6 Procedure for Payment of Indemnifiable Amounts. Indemnitee shall submit to the
Company a written request specifying the Indemnifiable Amounts for which Indemnitee seeks payment
under this Article III or Article IV of this Agreement and the basis for the claim. The Company
shall pay such Indemnifiable Amounts to Indemnitee as soon as practicable but in any event no later
than twenty (20) calendar days of receipt of the request. At the request of the Company,
Indemnitee shall furnish such documentation and information as are reasonably available to
Indemnitee and necessary to establish that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification
hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay in providing such request and other information
shall not affect Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder unless,
and then only to the extent that, the Company is materially prejudiced thereby.
3.7 Change in Law. To the extent that a change in law (whether by statute or judicial
decision) shall permit broader indemnification or advancement of expenses than is provided under
the terms of the Organizational Documents and this Agreement, Indemnitee
shall be entitled to such broader indemnification and advancements, and this Agreement shall
be deemed to be amended to such extent.
ARTICLE IV
PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION
PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Contribution.
(a) Without diminishing Indemnitee’s rights under Article III hereof, and whether or not the
indemnification provided in Article III hereof is available, in respect of any Proceeding in which
the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the
Company shall (without duplication of amounts paid by the Company under Article III) pay, or cause
to be paid, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such
Proceedings equal to the amount of Expenses and Liabilities actually incurred and paid or payable
by the Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers,
Directors or employees of the Company, other than the Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with the
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand, and the
Indemnitee, on the other hand. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of any Proceedings
in which the Company is jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding) unless such settlement provides for a full and final release of all claims asserted
against the Indemnitee.
(b) Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding
subparagraph or Article III hereof, if, for any reason, the Indemnitee shall elect or be required
to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in any Proceeding in which the Company is
jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall
(without duplication with amounts paid the Company under Article III) contribute, or cause to be
contributed, to the amount of Expenses and Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred and paid or
payable by the Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all
officers, Directors or employees of the Company, other than the Indemnitee, who are jointly liable
with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), on the one hand,
and the Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such action, suit or
proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative
benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the
relative fault of the Company and all officers, Directors or employees of the Company other than the
Indemnitee who are jointly liable with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding),
on the one hand, and the Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted
in such Expenses and Liabilities, as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may
require to be considered.
(c) The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless from any
claims for contribution which may be brought by reason of the Indemnitee’s Status by officers,
Directors or employees of the Company, other than the Indemnitee, who may be jointly liable with the
Company.
(d) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided
for in this Agreement is unavailable to the Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying the Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by the Indemnitee,
whether for Liabilities and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim
relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair
and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding as determined in a final
non-appealable judgment reached by a court of competent jurisdiction in order to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or
transactions(s) giving cause to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and
its Directors, officers, employees and agents) and the Indemnitee in connection with such event(s)
and/or transactions(s).
4.2 Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting any such provision, to
the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Status, a party to and is successful, on
the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses
actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee
is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to
one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall
indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s
behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this
Agreement, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or
without prejudice, by reason of settlement, judgment, order or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a
successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
4.3 Effect of Certain Resolutions. Neither the settlement or termination of any
Proceeding nor the failure of the Company to award indemnification or to determine that
indemnification is payable shall create a presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder. In addition, the termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not create a
presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any
criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s action was unlawful.
ARTICLE V
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
5.1 Agreement to Advance Expenses; Undertaking. Subject to Section 6.5 hereof, the
Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding in which Indemnitee is involved by reason of such Indemnitee’s Status or an act
performed or omitted to be performed by such Indemnitee in connection with such Status, within

of such Proceeding.

a written request specifying the Expenses for which Indemnitee seeks an advancement under this
Article V, together with documentation evidencing that Indemnitee has incurred such Expenses.
Payment of Expenses, if indemnifiable, under this Article V shall be made no later than twenty (20)
calendar days after the Company’s receipt of such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
failure or delay in providing such request or other information shall not affect Indemnitee’s right
to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses hereunder unless, and then only to the extent that, the Company is materially
prejudiced thereby.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE
REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE
6.1 Right to Petition Court. In the event that Indemnitee makes a request for payment
of Indemnifiable Amounts under Article III above or a request for an advancement of Expenses under

any court that has jurisdiction to enforce the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

incurred by Indemnitee in connection with investigating, preparing for, litigating, defending or

have no obligation hereunder in the event that it has been finally adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of Expenses hereunder with
respect to such action.
6.4 Failure to Act Not a Defense. The failure of the Company (including its Board of
Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a
determination concerning the permissibility of the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the
advancement of Expenses under this Agreement shall not be a defense in any action brought under
Section 6.1, and shall not create a presumption that such payment or advancement is not
permissible.
6.5 Indemnitee as Plaintiff. Except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 of this
Agreement and in the next sentence, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to payment of Indemnifiable
Amounts or advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee against the
Company, any Entity which it controls, any manager, director or officer thereof, or any third
party, unless the Company has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding. This Section shall
not apply to (a) affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee or any counterclaims by Indemnitee
which are resolved successfully in an action brought against Indemnitee or (b) a Proceeding
instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement.

served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document
relating to any Proceeding which may result in the payment of Indemnifiable Amounts or the
advancement of Expenses hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to give any
such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any
right of Indemnitee, to receive payments of Indemnifiable
Amounts or advancements of Expenses unless, and then only to the extent of, the Company’s
ability to defend in such Proceeding is materially prejudiced thereby.

includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee or (b) does not include, as an unconditional term
thereof, the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which
release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. This Section 7.2
shall not apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Article VI above.

above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Status, (a)

contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of
Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party
beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8.1(b).]

commercially reasonable action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such
documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of

other enterprise.
