5.5 Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.

(a) Limitation. No Person will be liable to the Company or its Member for any loss, damage, liability or expense suffered by the Company or its Member on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken on or after December 7, 2012 by such Person as a Member, Representative or Officer of the Company or by such Person while serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, if such Person discharges such Person’s duties in good faith, exercising the same degree of care and skill that a prudent person would have exercised under the circumstances in the conduct of such prudent person’s own affairs, and in a manner such Person reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the Company. The Member’s, Representative’s or Officer’s liability hereunder is limited only for those actions taken or omitted to be taken by such Member, Representative or Officer in connection with the management of the business and affairs of the Company.

(b) Right to Indemnification. To the extent allowed under the laws of the State of Delaware, the Company shall indemnify the Member and the Company’s officers and employees from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Company as set forth in this Agreement in which the Member, any officer or any employee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ARISING FROM ANY ACT OR OMISSION WHICH CONSTITUTED THE SOLE, PARTIAL OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASIVE) OF SUCH MEMBER, OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE, unless it is established that: (1) the act or omission of such Member, officer or employee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (2) the Member, officer or employee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Member, officer or employee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Member, officer or employee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.5. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Member, officer or employee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 5.5. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, including insurance proceeds, if any.

(c) Enforcement of Indemnification. If the Company refuses to indemnify any Person who may be entitled to be indemnified or to have expenses advanced under this Section 5.5, such Person may maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the Company to determine whether or not such Person is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder. If such court action is successful and the Person is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, such Person will be reimbursed by the Company for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action).

(d) Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, must be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification by the Company. In no event will any advance be made in instances where the Member or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such Person would not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and the advancement of expenses provided by this Section 5.5 are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, or any agreement, policy of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding their respective offices, and do not limit in any way any right that the Company may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different Persons or classes of Persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 5.5 will continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a Member, Representative or Officer of the Company, and as to a Person who has ceased serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such Person.

(f) Insurance. Upon the approval of the Member, the Representative or any Officer, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Member, Representative, Officer agent or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power, or the obligation, to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 5.5.

(g) Amendment and Vesting of Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Section 5.5 may not be amended or repealed and the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses created hereunder may not be changed, altered or terminated except by the Member. The rights granted or created hereby are vested in each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder as a bargained-for, contractual condition of such Person’s serving or having served as a Member, Representative or Officer of the Company or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise and, while this Section 5.5 may be amended or repealed, no such amendment or repeal will release, terminate or adversely affect the rights of such Person under this Section 5.5 with respect to any act taken or the failure to take any act by such Person prior to such amendment or repeal or with respect to any action, suit or proceeding with respect to such act or failure to act filed after such amendment or repeal.

(h) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5.5, references to:

(i) The “Company” includes, in addition to the resulting or surviving limited liability company (or other entity), any constituent limited liability company (or other entity) (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger so that any Person who is or was a member or manager of such constituent limited liability company (or other entity), or is or was serving

at the request of such constituent limited liability company (or other entity) as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise will stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 5.5 with respect to the resulting or surviving limited liability company as such Person would if such Person had served the resulting or surviving limited liability company (or other entity) in the same capacity;

(ii) “Other Enterprises” or “Other Enterprise” include, without limitation, any other limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan;

(i) Severability. If any provision of this Section 5.5 or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of this Section 5.5 and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will not be affected thereby and, to the fullest extent possible, the court finding such provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable must modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all Persons and to give the maximum possible protection to Persons subject to indemnification hereby within the bounds of validity, legality and enforceability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Member, the Representative or any Officer or any Person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or in any other comparable position of any Other Enterprise, is entitled under any provision of this Section 5.5 to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such Person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company must nevertheless indemnify such Person for the portion thereof to which such Person is entitled.

5.6 Contracts with the Member, the Representative, Officers or Affiliates. No contract or transaction between the Company and the Member, the Representative or any Officer or between the Company and any Person in which the Member, the Representative or any Officer is a director or officer, or has a financial interest, will be void or voidable solely for this reason, and the Member, the Representative or applicable Officer will not be obligated to account to the Company for any profit or benefit derived by the Member, the Representative or applicable Officer if the Member consents to such contract or transaction.

The Member, the Representative and each Officer may engage in, or possess an interest in, other business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others, whether or not similar to or in competition with the business of the Company, and neither the Company nor the Member have any right by virtue of this Agreement in or to such other business ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom. None of the Member, the Representative or any Officer is required to devote all of their time or business efforts to the affairs of the Company, but will devote so much of their time and attention to the Company as is reasonably necessary and advisable to manage the affairs of the Company to the best advantage of the Company.
