members of the Board entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof were present and voting.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Member, nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company, nor any member of the Board of Managers nor any employee, representative, agent or Affiliate of the Member (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) shall be liable to the Company or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.02. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, an Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by this Agreement, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 7.02 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Member shall not have personal liability on account thereof.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 7.02.

(c) An Indemnified 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 as to matters the Indemnified Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Member might properly be paid.

(d) To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Indemnified Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Indemnified Person, an Indemnified Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Indemnified Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement or any approval or authorization granted by the Company or any other Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnified Person.

(e) The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02 shall survive the dissolution of the Company or any termination of this Agreement.

7.03. OTHER BUSINESS.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company to participate in any business of the Covered Persons, and waives any claim against a Covered Person and shall indemnify each Covered Person against any claim that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its Member for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of such person’s or entity’s participation in any such business.

(b) In the event that a Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may constitute a corporate opportunity for both and the Company and the Member or any Affiliate of the Member or the Company, such Covered Person shall not have any duty to offer or communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in such corporate opportunity and waives any claim against each Covered Person and shall indemnify a Covered Person against any claim, that such Covered Person is liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (i) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for the benefit of the Member, or any Affiliate of the Member or the Company, (ii) directs, recommends, sells, assigns, or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to the Member, or any Affiliate of the Member or the Company or (iii) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company, provided, however, in each case, that any such corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person, in writing, solely in his or her capacity as an officer or employee of the Company or member of the Board of Managers shall belong to the Company.
