10.7 Meetings. The Board may hold regular or special meetings in or out of the State of Missouri.

10.11 Quorum and Voting. A majority of the number of directors fixed by, or determined in accordance with, this Agreement shall constitute a quorum of the Board. If a quorum is present, an affirmative vote by a majority of the number of directors present shall constitute an act of the Board.

12. STANDARD OF CARE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

12.1 Standard of Care.

To the extent that, at law or in equity, a director or officer of the Company has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company, the Member or any other person, such director or officer acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company the Member or any other person for breach of fiduciary duty for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement , to

- 6 -

the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto of a director or officer otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Member and the Company to replace such other duties and liabilities of such director or officer.

12.2. Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each director or officer of the Company against reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, taxes, penalties, fines (including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement (collectively “Liability”), incurred by such person in connection with defending any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal) to which such person is, or is threatened to be made, a party because such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, member, employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, provided that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct described in Section 12.1. A director or officer shall be considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Company’s request if such person’s duties to the Company also impose duties on or otherwise involve services by such person to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. The indemnities hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company and this Agreement.

(b) At the request of the director or officer entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of such proceeding if:

(1) The director or officer furnishes the Company a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Section 12.1;

(2) The director or officer furnishes the Company a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director’s or officer’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct or is otherwise not entitled to indemnification hereunder. Such undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director or officer, but shall not be required to be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment; and

(3) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under the provisions of this Section 12.2.

(c) The indemnification against Liability and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 12.2 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement may be, or hereafter become, entitled under any agreement, action of the Member or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in

- 7 -

another capacity while holding such office of the Company, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Any repeal or modification of this Section 12.2 by the Member shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Company under this Section 12.2 with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

13. OTHER ACTIVITIES; RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

13.1 Other Activities. The directors and officers shall devote such of their time to the affairs of the Company’s business as they shall deem necessary. The Member, directors, officers and their Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) may engage in, or possess an interest in, other business ventures of any nature and description, independently or with others, whether or not such activities are competitive with those of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Member shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures, or to the income or profits derived therefrom. The Member shall not be obligated to present any particular business opportunity of a character which, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and the Member and its Affiliates shall have the right to take for their own account, or to recommend to others, any such particular business opportunity to the exclusion of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any person, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity (directly or indirectly) controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, another person.

13.2 Related Party Transactions. The fact that a director, officer or their Affiliates are directly or indirectly interested in or connected with any person, firm or corporation employed by the Company to render or perform a service, or to or from whom the Company may purchase, sell or lease property, shall not prohibit the Company from employing such person, firm or corporation or from otherwise dealing with him or it, and neither the Company, nor the Member, shall have any rights in or to any income or profits derived therefrom. All such dealings with a director or such director’s Affiliates will be on terms which are competitive and comparable with amounts charged by independent third parties.

14. MEMBERS.

The name of the person owning the Units represented thereby, with the number of Units and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the Company. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificates shall be issued until the former certificates for a like number of Units shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that, in case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new certificate may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the Company as the Board may prescribe.
