(a) None of the Manager or liquidator or any of their partners, members, employees, officers, agents, directors or affiliates (each, a “Covered Person”) shall be liable to the Company or any Member for any loss suffered by the Company or any Member which arises out of any investment or any other action or omission of such Covered Person unless such Covered Person has been finally adjudicated to have acted with gross negligence or fraud. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any Member with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered by any of them in good faith if such action or omission is taken or suffered in reliance upon and in accordance with the opinion or advice of legal counsel (as to matters of law), or of accountants (as to matters of accounting), or of investment bankers, accounting firms, or other appraisers (as to matters of valuation). The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Covered 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, from and against any loss or expense reasonably suffered or sustained by him or her in connection therewith by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was the Manager, a partner, member, employee, officer, agent, director or affiliate of the Manager, or a director, officer or employee of the Portfolio Company or any other organization which he, she or it serves or has served as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company or in connection with Company affairs, including without limitation any judgment, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees or any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, provided that this indemnity shall not extend to matters as to which the Covered Person has been finally adjudicated in any action suit or proceeding to have acted with gross negligence or fraud. (b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 10 shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any rights to which any Covered Person may otherwise be entitled or hereafter acquire under any law, statute, rule, regulation, charter document, by-law, contract or agreement. The indemnification obligation of the Company to a Covered Person with respect to any damages shall be reduced by any indemnification payments actually received by such Covered Person from the Portfolio Company or other entity (other than the Manager or its respective affiliates) with respect to the same damages. Solely for purposes of clarification, and without expanding the scope of indemnification pursuant to this Section 10, the Members intend that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, as between (a) the Portfolio Company or other entities, (b) the Company and (c) the Manager (or its affiliates), this Section 10 shall be interpreted to reflect an ordering of liability for potentially overlapping or duplicative indemnification payments, with the Portfolio Company or other entity having primary liability, the Company having only secondary liability, and (if applicable) the Manager (or its affiliates) having only tertiary liability. The possibility that a Covered Person may receive indemnification payments from the Portfolio Company or other entity shall not restrict the Company from making payments under this Section 10 to a Covered Person that is otherwise eligible for such payments, but such payments by the Company are not intended to relieve the Portfolio Company or other entity (other than the Manager or its respective affiliates) from any liability that it would otherwise have to make indemnification payments to such Covered Person and, if a Covered Person that has received indemnification payments from the Company actually receives duplicative indemnification payments from the Portfolio Company or other entity (other than the Manager or its respective affiliates) for the same damages, such Covered Person shall repay the Company to the extent of such duplicative payments. If, notwithstanding the intention of this Section 10, the Portfolio Company’s or other entity’s obligation to make indemnification payments to a Covered Person is relieved or reduced under applicable law as a result of payments made by the Company pursuant to this Section 10, the Company shall have, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a right of subrogation against (or contribution from) the Portfolio Company or other entity (other than the Manager or its respective affiliates) for amounts paid by the Company to a Covered Person that relieved or reduced the obligation of the Portfolio Company or other entity to such Covered Person. Indemnification payments (if any) made to a Covered Person by the Manager (or its affiliates) in respect of damages for which (and to the extent) such Covered Person is otherwise eligible for payments from the Company under this Section 10 shall not relieve the Company from its obligation to such Covered Person and/or the Manager (or its affiliates), as applicable, for such payments. As used in this Section 10, “indemnification” payments made or to be made by the Portfolio Company or other entity shall be deemed to include payments made or to be made by or on behalf of the Portfolio Company or other entity or any successor thereto including, pursuant to an insurance policy or similar arrangement.
