(a) The Company shall indemnify, and upon request shall advance expenses to, in the

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
4
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,
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 arc
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, cither 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.
