incurred, provided that such Indemnified Party executes an undertaking, with appropriate security if requested by the Member, to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed in the event that a final non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.

Any Person who is within the definition of “Indemnified Party” at the time of any action or inaction in connection with the business of the Company shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 10 as an “Indemnified Party” with respect thereto, regardless whether such Person continues to be within the definition of “Indemnified Party” at the time of such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or exculpation hereunder.

11. MISCELLANEOUS
