(1)          A corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer of the Corporation, and who is also a director, officer or employee of an Exempted Person, shall belong to the Corporation if such corporate opportunity is expressly offered to such director or officer of the Corporation in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and not separately offered to any other Exempted Person.

(2)          Otherwise, such corporate opportunity shall belong to the Exempted Person.

Section 11.3.          Certain Matters Deemed Not Corporate Opportunities.  In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it is a corporate opportunity that the Corporation is not financially or legally able or contractually permitted to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

Section 11.4.          Limitation of Director Liability.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no amendment or repeal of this Article XI shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any Exempted Person for or with respect to any activities or corporate opportunities of which such Exempted Person becomes aware prior to such amendment or repeal.  This Article XI shall not limit or eliminate any protections or defenses otherwise available to, or any rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation, the Bylaws, any agreement between the Corporation and such officer or director, or any applicable law.

Section 11.5.          Deemed Notice.  Any person or entity purchasing, holding or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and have consented to the provisions of this Article XI.
