(a) The Company shall indemnify, and upon request shall advance expenses to, to the full
extent permitted by law, any Member, Representative and Manager (or the estate of any such person)
who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative
and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Member,
Representative or Manager of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, partner, manager, representative, trustee or employee of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (an “indemnitee”). The Company may, to the
full extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any such person against
any liability which may be asserted against the individual arising from the individual’s status as
an indemnitee. To the full extent permitted by law, the indemnification and advances provided for
herein shall include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement. The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed to limit the right of the
Company to indemnify any other person for any such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement to the full extent permitted by law, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not indemnify any such indemnitee (a) in any proceeding by the
Company against such indemnitee; or (b) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the
indemnitee establishes his liability for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or
its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, or (iii) unlawful distributions under Section 18-607 of the Act.
(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in Section 18(a)
above are intended to be greater than those which are otherwise provided for in the Act, are
contractual between the Company and the person being indemnified, his heirs, executors and
administrators, and, with respect to Section 18(a), are mandatory,
4
notwithstanding a person’s failure to meet the standard of conduct required for permissive
indemnification under the Act, as amended from time to time. The rights to indemnification and
advancement of expenses set forth in Section 18(a) above are nonexclusive of other similar rights
which may be granted by law, this Agreement, a resolution of the Board or the Members, or an
agreement with the Company, which means of indemnification and advancement of expenses are hereby
specifically authorized.
(c) Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Section 18, either directly or by
the adoption of an inconsistent provision of this Agreement, shall not adversely affect any right
or protection set forth herein existing in favor of a particular individual at the time of such
repeal or modification. In addition, if an amendment to the Act limits or restricts in any way the
indemnification rights permitted by law as of the date hereof, such amendment shall apply only to
the extent mandated by law and only to activities of persons subject to indemnification under this
Section 18 which occur subsequent to the effective date of such amendment.
19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of
law. In particular, this Agreement shall be construed to the maximum extent possible to comply with
all the terms and conditions of the Act.
